I'll continue to update this as games get added to either list.  There's a link in the top bar there for easy access once this runs off the front page, so check back occasionally.  Will also be adding a link that goes to all my reviews on this site and any where else they might exist.

3DS XL Free Game Promotion

The following is a letter I sent to Nintendo today after some thought about their free game promotion announced on today's nintendo direct.  I submitted it through their support page.

Hi, I'm writing to express my disappointment over the free game promotion announced in today's Nintendo Direct.  Specifically, the detail that it is only available to 3DS XL owners who register their units after February 14th, 2013.  I purchased my unit in November, and have been enjoying it ever since. I understand that this is an incentive designed to encourage new customers to purchase 3DS XL units and Luigi's Mansion both, but it seems awfully unfair to loyal fans who already own the platform and are also planning on purchasing Luigi's Mansion.  Obviously, it's unreasonable to expect Nintendo to give away free downloads of titles such as Mario 3d Land to every XL owner who buys Luigi's Mansion, but in light of this promotion it would be nice if loyal customers such as myself were rewarded in some way.  I'm not sure if this is appropriate forum by which to express my disappointment, so if it is not, could you please forward my message on through the proper channels.  

Thanks very much! I'm otherwise a huge fan of the platform and am especially enjoying Fire Emblem right now! How about a new Kirby's Dream Course game for 3DS? It would be awesome, right? 

Best, 

-Christian

I've never written a letter to a game company before. I feel like such a nerd.   Oh! For more about today's Nintendo Direct be sure to check out the main site, Gaijin Densetsu!

Gaijin Densetsu and the future of RMI

My friend Peter and I have been working on this site, Gaijin Densetsu , and I think it came out really nice.  It's launched now, so please come visit.  We're updating twice a week right now, with original articles/reviews/editorial on Wednesdays and news on Saturdays, but we've got a lot of ideas that we hope to implement over the coming months so we could wind up doing more.

The site will focus on Japanese developed games SPECIFICALLY, but since my love of games has no borders I will continue to update this site on a quasi-regular basis with the same kind of content I've been doing for the past year or two.

I know I promised an NBN deck for Netrunner last time, but damned if Plascrete Carapace hasn't wrecked my deck by making Scorched Earth pretty useless.  I'm playing a Jinteki/HB deck that's really awful right now, and after some more testing I'll post an article about it. It seems like Jinteki have some hot shit coming down the pipe that will help make up for their TERRIBLE ice.   Stay tuned, and in the meantime please stop by Gaijin Densetsu and say HI!
