PSP2 rumoured unveiling in 4 days

There is supposed to be an unveiling for the PSP2 in 4 days on January 27.  The PSP2 is supposed to have an OLED touchscreen and also have 3G data capabilities provided by NTT DoCoMo when it is released later this year. This will allow for online multiplayer and also video and game downloads while on the go, for Japan at least. Although I’d like to see one of the local networks like Verizon or Sprint in the States or in Canada, Rogers or Bell to provide 3G data for this device, I doubt that it will get that kind of treatment here like it’s supposed to get in Japan.

I’m definitely interested in seeing how this device will make itself unique from what we’ve seen from the Sony Ericsson branded Z1 Zeus Android phone and of course what it brings to the table to counter the 3DS and iOS devices. Hopefully there will be a pricetag that will be pegged to this device as well, although I’m expecting Sony to tack on a price of above $300USD.

A Trip Down Memory Lane

An awesome compilation of FPS games through the years. Doom was my first shooter. I played it on a Pentium II machine with a 16mb video card! Amazing how much has changed over 30 years. Looking forward to the next 30!

Nintendo 3DS E-Store Demo Video


We finally have some video on the interwebs for a demo of 3DS’s e-store. I’m hoping that this will be more successful than the DSiWare, WiiWare and Virtual Console that exist with the DSi and the Wii.

Why The Last Story may not be localized

Last Story may not be localized, and if it is it likely won’t be for awhile as Nintendo’s teams are busy with many other projects at the time and the large amount of story and text would take time to edit, translate and or subtitle and or dub into other languages for localization. As a heads up to them from me, do they realize that many gamers these days are fine with the Japanese audio with English subtitles, most who would want this game over here would actually rather they keep the game with Japanese audio, i.e. importers/purists. In other words  the people who would want this game anyways.
