Look at this and tell me if these aren’t cute! It’s part of the FF XI Online ‘added scenario’. Available from 6th July, for 980yen. The next scenario will be several months after this one, they say. And yes, no delayed releases for other languages – all at the same time.

Monster Hunter exclusive drinks are out 31st July in Japan. Why game companies outside Japan doesn’t do these kind of promo, I don’t know, but it must boost marketing. Sure, Japan has convenience stores at the end of every other street, but fans and geeks will go to great lengths to get their hands on official-sanctioned goodies. 200yen each.

Infinite bits wrote an article about the five worst controllers, which was picked up by a Japanese site. I found it interesting that the latter suggested a list should be compiled by Japanese gamers too – interesting because gamers wherever they are would probably have the same kind of opinion.

Also, there’s a whole list of games in which Michael Jackson made an appearance:
MJ’s Moonwalker – Sega Megadrive (1990)
MJ’s Moonwalker – Sega Arcade (1990)
Space Channel 5 – Dreamcast (1999)
Space Channel 5 Part2 – Dreamcast/PS2 (2002)
Ready 2 Rumble Boxing Round 2 – PS2 (2002)
Doubtless, there’re more which they may have left out. AVGN also reviews the Megadrive game.
