OMNIBOT FANBOOK

di Frankie (12/21/2007 - 10:09)


Today I found this new book in a bookstore in Shibuya. Omnibot Fan Book, published by Mycom, has been written by Techn'o'taku a famous Japanese otaku who loves design, techno and toys.  The book covers the history of toy robots from the early sixties to the just released i-Sobot (that's the natural evolution of the Omnibots produced by Takara Tomy more than 20 years ago).
In the next few day will try to take some photos of the beautiful designed pages of this book.

IPOD SONIC

di Frankie (12/21/2007 - 08:24)


(via Business Wire / Engadget Japan) - A couple of days ago Sega announced that Sonic The Hedgehog is now available for play on the new iPod nano with video, the iPod classic and the fifth generation iPod. Sonic fans can purchase and download the game from the iTunes Store for $4.99 (www.itunes.com). Sonic has been designed specifically for the iPod and is available on the 22 iTunes Stores around the world.

Sonic The Hedgehog is one of the most beloved video game characters of all time, said Simon Jeffery, President and COO of SEGA of America, And with the installed base that iPod enjoys Sonic now becomes available to a whole new group of casual and hardcore gamers just in the time for the holidays.

Similar to music and video content on the iTunes Store, customers simply find the game on iTunes and click the "Gift This Game" button.
