NDS Pachislo Sengen JPN
 NDS Touch de Rakushou! Pachislo Sengen: Rio de Carnival  
   Desired by pachislot playing salarymen throughout Japan, Rio is a pink-haired, long-legged, full bodied matron of pachinko/pachislot parlors. Licensed to death into merchandise such as cellphone straps and life-size inflatable "pillows," Rio has experienced full saturation in the franchising space.
   In Rio's Nintendo DS turn, the idol plays her part as a casino dealer, a bikini model, and a general object of infatuation. There's little gameplay to be found here but there's lots of interactivity with Rio. For example, a mini-game features an image of Rio underneath some scratch-away veneer. Rub the stylus furiously over the screen and unveil an image of Rio <more>

DVD FFVII Advent Children JPN
 NEWS General Updates
   The Japanese version of Final Fantasy VII Advent Children scheduled to ship next week will not contain English subtitles or language options. It's purely in Japanese as expected. If you have submitted a preorder in the hopes that the DVD would contain English options, we can accept cancellations this week. The USA version of Final Fantasy VII Advent Children has apparently been pushed further back to November 29.
   News Corp announced this morning that it will buy IGN Entertainment for ~$650 million in cash. IGN had filed an IPO earlier in the summer.
   A New York based company has started accepting orders for a series of pig figures called Phony Baloney with descriptive names such as "Porked!" and "NY's Finest." 
   Japanese toy suppliers have been holding mass sales of older stock in the past few days and we've been inundated with clearance offers. Sadly, nothing interesting has appeared at discounted prices yet but we'll post up any noteworthy photos and/or offers if we find any as the offers continue to roll in. We noticed a ton of Gundam kits and Galaxy Force Transformers toys at roughly 40% off regular wholesale prices. The cuts will probably deepen.
