No. But the world is getting it. To mark the 20th anniversary of puzzle game Puyo Puyo, Sega is releasing Puyo Puyo meat buns in Japan. More »

At least in Japan! That's because Sega will release a Virtual Console Arcade version of Puyo Puyo—which you may have played in the form of Kirby's Avalanche or Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine—with online multiplayer support for Wii. More »

Microsoft has been successful the world over with its operating systems. Even in Japan, Windows is the most common OS. However, the computer giant hasn't seen those same results there with gaming. That hasn't always been the case. More »

And did you know it's really annoying and will probably be stuck in your head all day long? Puyo, puyo, pu-pu-pu-puyo puyo. More »

Pro wrestler Christian Cage (aka Jason Reso) isn't quite ready to trade in his spandex tights just yet, but has taken up a gaming column over at GameTap. The majority of his first column is about how much he likes games or what he's going to write about. For example: More »

Previously, Ebihara (AKA Ebi-chan) appeared in the Puyo Puyo DS TV spots and has returned for the console spot. As always, the game's innocous as is Ebi-chan, who once said: "If someone doesn't find me cute, I want to know why because then I'll work on it to get better at being cute." Yes, yer cute, the game's cute, blah, blah. Well, played SEGA. This is exactly how you sell Puyo Puyo. Hell, this is how you sell anything. More »

I could sit here all day and watch her screw up her I love Puyo Puyo line. More »
]]> http://kotaku.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=275991&view=rss&microfeed=true I must've missed the Sega PC announcement for Sega Splash! Golf, as I was genuinely surprised to see that Sonic the Hedgehog was hitting the links. He's not doing a Mario Golf-like stint, simply appearing alongside other Sega trademarked characters for an online, Japanese only golf game. It looks like he'll be joined by regular sidekick Tails, Ulala from Space Channel 5, NiGHTS, Opa-Opa from Fantasy Zone and a puyo from Puyo Puyo as one of the guest stars in an otherwise uneventful cel-shaded golf game.

Still, Sega hired her to promote the new Puyo! Puyo! game for the DS. We've posted the tv spot before (it's after the jump), but not this making-of clip, which even at two minutes plus feels long. Hearts of Darkness or Burden of Dreams, this ain't. Brian Ashcraft More »

That pink-helmeted warrior is today's nerd hero. His name is Naoto Fujimura, and he recently appeared on TV Tokyo's TV Champion 2. Vitals: Fujimura is 19 years old and actually owns an Xbox 360. No, really. His favorite game? THE iDOLM@STER. Pretty much the entire show is after the jump, complete with Aya Ueto and Yu Yamada ads. It's almost an hour and all in Japanese, but you should be able to follow. Grab a chilled beverage, settle in and cheer Fujimura on as he battles his way to the top! Brian Ashcraft More »

Sega's popular puzzle series Puyo Puyo has been dated for the Nintendo Wii in Japan. The game, best described as Tetris crossed with Dr. Mario and Slime from Dragon Quest, has previously appeared on the PSP, the DS and PS2. The Wii version hits stores July 26th. The game will feature a versus and co-op modes in which players must work together to erase the blob lines. There's also a mode in which a player uses two Wii-motes to play. Call me old fashioned, but I'd still rather use my thumb than motion controls for a puzzle game. You? Brian Ashcraft More »

Sega has announced that they're bringing the Petroglyph developed real time strategy game Universe At War: Earth Assault to the PC later this year. The development house is responsible for Star Wars: Empire at War, the well-received Star Wars RTS title from LucasArts (natch) that hit store shelves last February. More »

She's Japan's biggest model and trendsetter. Her name is Yuri Ebihara, affectionately dubbed "Ebi-chan" by all ("ebi" also means "shrimp" in Japanese). She's hocked McDonalds shrimp burgers, digital cameras, turned out flat performances in TV dramas and has appeared in countless women's fashion mags. Next up, Ebi-chan will be starring in ads to promote the Puyo Puyo DS game. Some gripe against her for always having the exact same expression. EVERY TIME. But, who cares? It's Ebi-chan. And there's Sega logo kissing involved. Brian Ashcraft More »
