Monster Hunter series director says he wants to bring energy back to the Japanese market
Posted 10 years ago by Austin in General Gaming, General Nintendo, News | 2 Comments
The following comes from an interview with Japanese gaming weekly ‘Famitsu’:
“To be honest, I don’t feel the current Japanese game market has a lot of energy to it, and I want to get that energy back. I think the only way to do that is to keep making fun games and keep energizing and exciting the gamers.
“Lately I’ve been running into overseas gamers at MH4 events and stuff, people with these MH t-shirts who go all the way to Japan for these things. I love seeing that, and I wonder if we can expand on that. It’s hard enough to launch a game in Japan alone, but for games like Pokemon that become worldwide hits, that energizes Japanese games across the board. I think there are qualities to Japanese games that only Japanese people can come up with, and I think it’d be great if we could expand on how we bring those strengths to the international arena.”
– Director of the Monster Hunter series, Kaname Fujioka
Fujioka talked about much more in the interview, as transcribed by Polygon. Check it out here.

FAA is relaxing electronics guidelines on planes; you can now play 3DS during takeoff and landing
Posted 10 years ago by Austin in 3DS, DS, GBA, General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
As long as your device can’t transmit or receive wireless signals like texts or phone-calls, the FAA is soon to let you play with it during the takeoff and landing portions of any particular airplane flight. This means 3DS and Vita, phones and tablets (if ‘Airplane Mode’ is turned on), etc etc can all be used to calm your nerves or supplement the visceral experience of being forced into the air above earth at 400 miles an hour starting “soon”, according to the FAA.
Why the change of heart? It turns out that devices that aren’t transmitting or receiving things wirelessly can’t interfere with most planes’ computer systems.
