Smash Brothers

Managed get a copy after queueing outside BIC Camera in Kashiwa for about 20 minutes. Not bad.

The game is great fun. Naturally I lost my first Wifi game...but won the first bet I put on a game - nice. A return to Japan's obsession with gambling.

The hour approaches...

On the way into work today I swung by my local BIC Camera to look for any Smash Bros-related nonsense to be greeted by a "Reservations no longer being taken" sign. Actually it read: 予約は終了致しました = Reservations finished.

I obviously jumped to the conclusion that it wasn't a good sign for my chances of getting a copy tomorrow.

Bugger.

I'll still be trying as if I didn't I would never be able to forgive myself. Well, I probably could, but it would take at least 3 hours and a good go on the new Advance Wars game that arrived from Canada today.

So now I go to bed, anxiously awaiting the morning and the coming disappointment...

Wind Waker Manga

On a non-video games related note, I finished the translation of the final chapter of the Wind Waker 4koma manga earlier. AnCo^2 will be releasing chapter 8 in the next month or so.

o-tanoshimi kudasai!

January 31st cometh

...as does 大乱闘スマシュブラザーズX (SSBB) on the Wii. And happy I shall be if I can get my not-so-grubby hands on a copy on release day.

I will be having to mug someone in the early hours of the morning to pay for it though, so sorry in advance to whoever is in the wrong place at the wrong time. Rest assured your money will be used for good.
