Overseas Otaku Buying Tips |
Making
online purchases/pre-orders especially for Jpop
CDs and anime/game PVC figures have always been
the best option for me (and many otakus who do
not live in Japan). Listed below are my wish list,
preorders and purchases from these reputable online
companies. Your purchase via these links supports
this site :)
• YesAsia
(Bought my Jpop CD/DVD here)
• J-list
(many 'weird' Japanese stuff)
• HobbySearch
(Comprehensive inventory
but no free shipping
and no shipping cost
provided upon placing
an order )
• HLJ
(very good alternative to HobbySearch)
• E2046
(many figures & rules in resin
kit)
• Play-Asia
(My #1 online shop)

| | | Kojima kept us puzzled for 2 weeks with his countdown site but the riddle has now been solved! "METAL GEAR SOLID RISING" has been unveiled by the creator Hideo Kojima himself! He sneaked up to Microsoft's E3 stage and announced that RISING will bring new METAL GEAR SOLID experience and will be available on Xbox 360. However, no platform exclusivity was mentioned. A short METAL GEAR SOLID RISING trailer was shown during Kojima's presentation and we learn that Raiden will be back in action! Do check out Kojima's E3 appearance and RISING's trailer below.

Hideo Kojima won't do that to PS3 owners. No exclusivity was mentioned and he is expected to pop-up again tomorrow for Sony, I guess.

Posted June 2nd, 2009 10:32 pm (Tue) | Labour, creativity and production cost in gaming industry all skyrocket due to higher gaming quality demand from consumer.
Possibly sales from PS3 alone couldn't cope no more the production cost and desired profit level. Plus, it would be irresistible to say "NO" to Microsoft's "gulping" offer :p! Cross boarder is inevitable, moreover with current economic situation -> from "NO" to a big "YES" :).

Agreed. Gamers, especially old gamers like us nowadays demand good graphics and overall presentation of a game, and reputation too. It's all about "quality over quantity".
As for Metal Gear Solid Rising, I think it wouldn't be wise for Hideo Kojima to ignore the Xbox 360 platform. Xbox might be doomed in Japan but still owns a big chunk of market share in the west. So yeah, $$$ > Pride.
