Japan used games for June 2009
by Tokyo Rude

 It seems that Call of Duty 4's buyback value is continuing to rise over here. I was in a Bookoff (giant used books/DVD/games store that's everywhere) about three weeks back, and found that Call of Duty 4 for the Playstation 3 was selling for an astounding 7890 yen used. That's the price of Biohazard 5 when it was released over here. The normal version. This caused me to gasp, consider making a profit on my copy, which I did, and wonder why the hell it was selling for so much?
Now Biohazard 5 is hovering around 5500 yen used (PS3 or 360.) I expect it will continue to slowly trickle drop. Enough people kept their copies that it didn't have the White Knight Chronicles or Phantasy Star Zero effect. Which now sell for 1000 yen new everywhere. Makes me regreful PS0 . . . Read more |
Do not underestimate the power of Playstation

For years I’ve lived a double life.
In the day I do my job,
I ride the bus,
Roll up my sleeves with the hoi polloi.
But at night I live a life of exhilaration,
Of missed heartbeats and adrenaline,
And, if the truth be known,
A life of dubious virtue.
I won’t deny I’ve been engaged in violence,
Even indulged in it.
I have maimed and killed adversaries,
And not merely in self defence.
I have exhibited disregard for life,
Limb,
And property,
And savoured every moment.
You may not think it to look at me,
But I have commanded armies,
And conquered worlds.
And though in achieving these things
I have set morality aside,
I have no regrets.
For though I’ve led a double life
At least I can say,
I have lived.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to to you The Originator

For something like a decade and a half the genre known as the sidescrolling platformer was the dominant form of videogame entertainment, taking forms as varied as the chase in Keystone Kapers, to the white knuckled shoot man action of Contra to the find key for puzzle and hey, why not watch those numbers go up while we're at it, of the Metrovania. And in the indie poverty game scene it's seeing a bit of a resurgeance.
It's a lineage most folks trace back to Super Mario Bros. But check this out
It's Jump Bug! And it bears about as much resemblence to the platformers as Jumping Flash does to the 3D action games that followed in its wake. It's not hard to see why. The constant bouncing motion is odd and makes controling your little VW Beetle occasionally awkward, . . . Read more |

TAISEN
(It's official, now!)
For you fucks who don't know what the hell Sakura Taisen is, I tell you: fie onto you, for you are not One of Us. Back in the early days of the Internet, when print magazines were still relevant and IGN was considered to have the most integrity of the gaming websites, Japan wasn't an oddity where weird games came from. It was a parallel world, much like the Mirror Dimension in Star Trek, where everyone wore a goatee and people played games much like the ones we played, but the total opposite. In this culture, it was plausible, even probable, that Japan really was on Super Mario 23 and Super Mario World was . . . Read more |

The Third Annual Super Mario Bros. Romhacking Monthree

Come one, come all to Super Mario Bros Romhacking Month! It lasts until April 30, and applies to any game that has Super Mario in the title.
[The previous year]
Here's some of the latest developments:
* mario goes underground, a very Knytt-esque journey by Ms. Anne Thoreau P., whom I'm told posts here under the handle of 'dessgeega'. I was, I must confess, employed as an advisor in its creation, which went most agreeably except for a disagreement regarding the colour scheme of room #5. My (defeated) recommendation was to make it black as a cave but, in doing so, render the water "invisible" - which is how it is in this unauthorised version of my own making.
* Super Mario Bros SpeedExpiation. It is identical to the original except for these tiny, tiny differences: 0) . . . Read more |
