[ NIHON BUNKA KENKYUU ] BUNKEN 101: Reviews, comments, and insights on Japanese pop culture.
It's that time of the year again as the Tokyo Game Show reveals the most wanted stocking-stuffers for the upcoming holidays. The first battle of the 3rd generation console wars heats up with Nintendo Wii and Sony PS3 going head to head for control over the competetive console market. Microsoft attempts to drive a wedge between the two warring Japanese giants by relaunching the XBox 360 at a new reduced price, plus a slew of new games including several titles by Hironobu Sakaguchi.
And speaking of Sakaguchi, Square Enix reveals a Director's Cut version for hit CG movie FINAL FANTASY VII ADVENT CHILDREN, plus a number of succesful ports for older FF games to the PSP. Lastly Kojima Hideo and KONAMI release the newest teaser film for the much anticipated next installment of the METAL GEAR series. Gamers simply can't wait for Christmas!
