Coming from a 2D background I find this sort of technology so cool. The ability to make one of my 2D drawings more interactive is pretty damn awesome. I know realistically this can all be built in 3D, but I don’t care. It would be so cool to have this to make some of my characters look around and such.
This app is a free download on the app store and for Google Play. I just tried it out and it’s pretty neat. The girl (Shizuku) just says things in Japanese, but she will watch and follow your finger just like in the demo. It’s pretty cute, but that’s all she’ll do from what I can tell. She won’t react to you if you poke her or anything. I wonder when this will be available for consumers to use and how much it would be? I’d be interested in trying it out for sure.
During my usual searching around the internet I came across something that I really must have. This 1/8 figure of Kongiku from Muramasa: The Demon Blade has totally caught my eye. I guess I’ll have to put this on my list of stupid things to buy because she runs in at about $117 bucks… but she looks totally worth it. More pics past the link
Way back in 2009 I did a post about a DS game called Hachi Koi. At the time it was being developed by EA Japan and it was to be a dating game where you get to “touch” the girls as you apply sun tan lotion or apply bandages. EA really marketed the chubby girl (who is absolutely adorable!) named Kurumi, but sadly… Kurumi never made it to DS’s. But she will be on her way to your iPhone/iTouch!
Looks like Atlus is putting out another trailer to get people on board with their new 3DS game Code of Princess. The game gets released on October 9th. I’ve ordered mine so I should get the soundtrack and mini art book with it. I’m very excited ^_^. To be honest, this is the second 3DS game I’ve purchased. I picked up Street Fighter 4 when it first came out, but never picked up anything else. It’s not that I don’t want other games… I just haven’t had the time to buy them. I still need to get Super Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7, Resident Evil Revelations, Metal Gear Solid 3DS, and New Super Mario Bros 2. One day I’ll get them. Until then, I’m going to be pretty happy with my new beat’em up.
Recently, I’ve been watching all the translated episodes of Game Center CX I can find. I came across a forum post on the Something Awful Forums that lists all the episodes they’ve translated and I’m so grateful to those that have done all this work. My full collection of the episodes goes from the beginning all the way through to season 13 (over 100 episodes), but very few were translated. I’m currently replacing all the episodes that I can with the translated ones. Not that I don’t care for the old ones. I love the show (probably my favorite) and still find it very watchable even with out the subtitles. But it is nice to know what’s being said or laughed at.
I recently watched the Castlevania 3 eps. That is one game I never did finish. I remember it being way to hard to beat on a weekend rent. Next is Gargoyle’s Quest for the NES. I never played this one ether, but I own the GameBoy version which is fantastic.
Have you ever seen or heard of this show? How about the DS game that came out for it? I own it and love it! Needless to say, I’m a huge fan, and I can’t wait to order the DVD’s when they come out. ^_^ Now I just need to find the newest episodes to download.
Update – DownTown Fanpage has a much larger list of down loads for Game Center CX! Woo!
This here is a trailer for Ninja Gaiden 3 which has been announced for the Wii U. Now I haven’t played any of the current generations of Ninja Gaiden. My memories of this series goes back to the NES days. Heck, I still own the original cartridge (Yes… I’m that old), and I don’t remember anything this sexy in the game.
Trust me… I would remember that. I think my interest in this game just peaked. ^_^
