OSAMU TEZUKA IS THE OTAKU NOSTRADAMUS

di Frankie (06/14/2008 - 09:37)


Seems that a 2chan user found out that the earthquake that today (14 june) hit the northern part of Japan has been predicted by Osamu Tezuka’s BlackJack manga Volume 17. Osamu predicted the magnitude, the date/time, the location!

MSG 4 Non selling as expected in Japan?!

di Frankie (06/14/2008 - 09:06)


These days walking in Denden town and Akiba the buzz around MSG4 is way less than I expected... I'm sure the MediaCreate will clear this (and MSG4 will move 500.000 pieces in its first week)  but right now I don't feel the huge promotional efforts made by Konami are giving the effect expected in Japan so I wonder if, after a couple of weks from now, MSG4 will still be a system seller for PS3 or just a great game... anyway the MSG4 Famitsu cover is the best Famitsu cover in the last years!!
