How to get to Itadaki Street Portable

By Jenni . April 30, 2008 . 12:47pm

Dragon Quest & Final Fantasy in Itadaki Street Portable is a lot like a Square Enix themed game of Monopoly. The goal is to buy properties on certain colored streets and make a lot of money. If you happen to own all, or most, of the properties on say, the yellow street, you’ll be able to upgrade the shops on each property and make more money. Isn’t capitalism great?

Konami grooves with a new rhythm game or localizes Pop ‘n Music?

By Spencer . April 30, 2008 . 5:09am

With so many Bemani brands it’s refreshing to think Konami might be trying something totally new. Actually, they are with Jubeat, which feels like an evolution of Pop ‘n Music.   Speaking of Pop ‘n Music I thought Konami might…

WiiWare microtransactions resonably priced for Mojipittan

By Spencer . April 30, 2008 . 4:49am
