Hey, it's Hudson icon, Takahashi Meijin! Otherwise known as Master Higgins. Dude's in the US at the moment on a promo tour for Hudsons's Adidas commercial Deca Sports, and yesterday sat in on a big roundtable interview. Most of the stuff discussed you can live without, but for these: Meijin confirms that a new Adventure Island game is in development, to be released via WiiWare. He then almost confirms, with a little help from Hudson USA's Mike Pepe, the fact they're also working on a new Star Soldier game, again for the Wii. Wonderful! More »

Calling the "Shooting Watch," it resembles a Famicom controller and first went on sale in 1987. Only 10,000 of these are being produced! The Shooting Watch measures how many times buttons can be pushed in ten seconds as well as displaying time and doubling as a stop watch. That male model showing off the Shooting Watch? Why that's Hudson's Takahashi Meijin, who can press buttons at an alarming 16 pps (presses-per-second). More »

Hudson's human mascot Takahashi Meijin is a living turbo switch. Into finger exercises, he can press the controller's "B" buttons something like 16 pps (presses-per-second). What about your skills? Above is a "B" button mock-up from the Famicom controller. It records how many times you can press it repeatedly in ten seconds. Me, I can't get my score above 65 pps. You? More »

Here is his modern day bald version teaching game aerobics to former Morning Musume singer Mari Yaguchi and Mr. Bad Teeth. (Not his name, but fitting nonetheless.) Takahashi Meijin points out: More »
