How do you promote a game that features under age Touch Pen touching? With a giant upskirt billboard! The Doki Doki Majo Shinpan hype machine (you excited?!) is in full effect with a huge banner gracing the Sofmap in Akihabara. Mark your calendars 'cause the game drops July 5th. It's the nerd panic event of the summer! Brian Ashcraft

Nintendo's NY Pokemon Launch Reminder

Nintendo wants to make sure that everyone in or with the capability to get to the city of New York this Sunday makes it to their big Rockefeller Plaza launch party for Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. Brave reader Luis sent us their friendly reminder! (click image to supersize)

Note that the event will be recorded, so you might want to think twice about showing up in a trench coat without pants on asking fans if they want to battle your Squirtle. Can't expose your pocket monster publicly in NYC without joining the union buddy. Michael Fahey

Witch Touching Game Site Open, No Touching Yet

Brian Ashcraft — Tue, 03 Apr 2007 03:00:51 MDT

At TGS last year, SNK revealed its upcoming witch touching game for the DS, Doki Doki Majo Saiban. The game's site just popped up with the warning that it may contain unsuitable material for normal people. There's a question that asks if you are a good person. Answer "yes" and end up on SNK's homepage. Answer "no" and end up on the Majo Saiban page. Other than the announcement that the game is currently getting rated by CERO (Japan's ESRB) and will be out this summer, there's not much to the page save for the above screen shots. Doesn't seem to be much to the game, either. Then again, it's got witch touching so what else do you need? Brian Ashcraft
