In honour of Tokyo Game Show we’re going to focus this week’s weekly discussion on games that come from the spiritual homeland of games, Japan.

I absolutely love detective games featuring strong, smart women. I think there aren’t enough of them……
We need more art in games. Period. There is an entire world of the fine arts…
With the cost of living what it is, premium-grade luxuries like sound equipment are surely one…
I’m not going to lie: when Dollhouse first launched in 2019, it wasn’t exactly to large…
Idea Factory International seems to be right on schedule with its launch of Neptunia Game Maker…
It was a good TGS for me – a new Hyperdimension Neptunia game will do that.
As everyone knows, I love Japanese games – especially JRPGs. GUST (the folks behind the Atelier games) is my favourite developer at the moment, which is appropriate that Tecmo Koei (the Warriors games) acquired it, as TK is my favourite publisher.
At the moment I'm playing Tales of XXXXX (whatever it is) f, which is a reasonable game. The series doesn't resonate with me quite as well as its fans though.
Favorite Japanese games…. Mario. Monster Hunter Tri. These count right?
Japanese games are awesome! Especially the DS games that didn't get released elsewhere. I mean, they show lots of, um… and they let you finger… er… 🙂
Retro Game Challenge 2 (DS) is absolutely awesome and one that I really wish would've released outside of Japan.

As far as non-Nintendo stuff, Cave Story and Metal Gear Solid are my things.
