New DS add-on announced

Japanese Nintendo fansite; N-styles.com has unveiled a new add-on for the Nintendo DS. This add-on will help make your DS into a usable cel phone. Although the link provided is in Japanese, I think the pictures of the peripheral speaks for itself.

Now now, Japan. That's just mean.

Kotaku reported that the Japanese website Akiba Blog ran a blogpost stating that Dragon Quest IX for the Nintendo DS was going to be released at midnight today. Today being April 1st.

For those NOT in the know, Dragon Quest game releases in Japan are like Harry Potter opening weekends x10.

2000 people lined up outside stores in Akihabara... TWO THOUSAND! Akiba blog might as well have pissed in their cereal.

And apparently, according to the above picture, everyone who lined up has either a penis or a vagina instead of heads. At least, that's what Japanese porn taught me.

EXTRA EXTRA!! Suikoden Tierkreis starts series in new "infinity worlds". Stars of Destiny from previous installments nowhere to be found!

As favorable as the reviews are for Suikoden Tierkreis, the idea of the game itself kinda puts me in a bind. On one hand; the game captures the feel of the previous Suikoden games pretty spot-on. But on the other hand; this may very well be a reboot of the series.

The game is fun, I'm near it's end but it's just not the same Suikoden if the later installments don't add to the overall world of the series. I'm just really hoping the Suiko team at Konami doesn't forget Murayama's vision of the series.
