The regular chocolate fries were not disgusting, so maybe these will be good? To mark Halloween, which is now very much a thing in Japan, McDonald’s is putting out fries with chocolate and pumpkin sauce. They’ll be available from September 28*. Maybe we’ll get a Halloween burger, too? *Jack-o’-lantern not included. Kotaku East is your…

To be honest, I wasn’t that excited when I showed up at Enhance Games’ office in Tokyo’s Aoyama to play Area X, a new area in Rez Infinite for PlayStation VR. I’d played Rez and Rez HD, so I thought Rez in VR would be no big deal. Besides, VR usually makes me sick, and…
It appears the greatest rest stop bathrooms in the world are located in South Korea. Besides chic places to pooh and tinkle, there are restrooms inspired by the Hollywood movie Roman Holiday, the book The Little Prince, and even the Apollo missions. Rest stop toilets are typically not so great. When they’re good, they’re clean,…
Konami sure is trying. Gotta give them that. But if YouTube likes are any indication, loads of people aren’t feeling Metal Gear Survive. As Kotaku UK previously explained in great detail, Metal Gear Survive is a co-op stealth game in which you sneak up and kill zombies. During the Tokyo Game Show, Konami showed off…
Square Enix is opening a new cafe in Tokyo’s Akihabara on October 1. It’s called, wait for it, Square Enix Cafe. Check out the menu here.
Of course it does! Clearly the country that has an array of Kit Kat flavors needs a museum to show them off. Recently, Japanese site Fashion Press visited the Tokyo museum, which is, sadly, only opened for a limited time. More below: The Kit Kat Museum is located at the Nescafe in Harajuku and runs…

As Kotaku previously reported, yes, there is a new Pokémon TV series. A new Pokémon anime means one thing: changes to Ash’s face. Here are good comparisons of how the character has evolved over the years: His latest design does seem like it’s a departure from his previous one, which was far “cooler” than the…
At this year’s Tokyo Game Show, there is a VR experience in which players touch a mannequin set-up that uses capacitive sensors. The developers now say after a day on the TGS show floor, those sensors are busted. The first business day of TGS, this was going on: And in motion: Yeah. The character is…
Are you handsome? If not, you should get a Final Fantasy XV mask. Because then, you will be quite dashing. At this year’s Tokyo Game Show, Square Enix has been passing out masks of the Final Fantasy XV dudes, which remind me of the Neymar masks that were passed out at last year’s TGS. And…

The guns. The jumping. The giant bugs. I’ve always enjoyed the Earth Defense Force games. They’re goofy, silly, and glorious, like Roger Corman movies you can play. The latest one does not appear to disappoint. D3 Publisher has never been a triple A game publisher. This is a company whose bread and butter were the…

Right now, it’s impossible to say with certainty if The Last Guardian will be worth the wait. But, after playing through the game’s new 45-minute demo, I can definitely say it will be one of the most unusual titles to hit the PS4 this year. What I played of The Last Guardian was at times…
At the Tokyo Game Show, Capcom producer Ryozo Tsujimoto announced on stage that Hollywood is making a live-action Monster Hunter movie.
