Heavy Japanese Support for Xbox 2

Posted by Zonk on Tuesday April 5, 2005 @06:09PM from the no-home-court-advantage dept.

Gamasutra has word that there are already several Japanese game development studios and designers lining up to create titles for the Xbox 2 system. Yoshiki Okamoto, a former producer at Capcom, is quoted in the article as being surprised at the response the new console is getting. From the article: "I've been hearing that some other designers will also be joining. There are a lot of surprises. I find myself saying: 'What, this development studio!? This game!? These people!?'" Commentary on the upcoming console's Japanese future also available at GamesIndustry.biz. Update: 04/07 03:18 GMT by Z : The translations from the original source came from Gamespot.com.

I'm worried, though, what happens if Microsoft "wins" the market.

Mass seppuku.

Now those Sumo wrestlers will have a game console they can get real support from. It's about damn time.

Even the great controller mistake was largely corrected.

You couldn't have chose better words.
