With the much-delayed Dragon Quest IX for the Nintendo DS selling by the bucket load in Japan, this fella’s quest quite possibly wasn’t the pleasant ambience of the park, but instead a bit of privacy to play his newly purchased game in peace.
The Nintendo Wii may well be selling wonderfully, but despite being a forefather of the aforementioned, and the fourth biggest selling console in history, this particular Super Famicom (SNES) has unfortunately had to say a final farewell to any further fourth generation fun.
And games.
Being a booth babe at the recently wrapped up Tokyo Game Show can’t really be all that rewarding, as, not only do the young women have to smile sycophantically at the seething sweaty masses, but they also have to cope with clamourous, camera-carrying crowds.
Along with middle-aged men who should know much better.
And, maybe worst of all, an unmerited meeting with me.

There’s no denying the fondness for fashion in Japan, with appearance a priority. In fact, it could be argued that a large percentage of people are f*ing obsessed with it.
That said, it’s not necessarily always successful, as the merits of this gamer’s mask for example are somewhat moot to say the least.
