Nope! Didn’t catch that. I drive in Japan and used to drive in the U.S., so both look correct to me. That, or I need to study my children’s “Can you spot the difference?” style picture books! :D Read more

Nice catch! I’m assuming Japan and North America will get different side drive, though... Read more

Thanks David for these insights! Read more

Yeah, I don’t like how it reads. Gonna change it. Thanks! Read more

Excellent point. Read more

And finding a talented voice actor? It’s a big job, but I have faith Aonuma can do it. Read more

Pages and pages of dialogue to check, no doubt. I don’t know where Aonuma finds the time! Read more

Interest waned? In America? For a Nintendo theme park? Really? >_> Read more

Good point. It’s more than this is a large-scale investment, like they did with Harry Potter. Still! They’ll make hand-over-foot with retail, so they’d be dumb not to have expansive stores and restaurants. Read more

I believe you meant to ask, “What did I just watch-chi-chi?” Read more

Yeah, they usually just want one person to speak for an entire group. So here, Yoshida is basically the “old guy gamer group.” He’s also, you know, Shuhei Yoshida, but there you go. Read more

Usually, when I’ve seen the Japanese media do this or when I’ve been randomly interviewed, they just come up with a mic, asking you some questions and leave, not even getting your name because they don’t need to run it. Read more

Yeah, I’m a big Pom Poko fan. It’s terrific. Read more

Maybe. If not, his wife has done well for herself. She’s Naoko Takeuchi, the the creator of Sailor Moon. I’d say between them, they’re doing okay! Read more

GENIUS. Read more
