other linguistic gems.

Kong from 1994.

Highlights on DVD 2
» The first track on the DVD is a 24:54 minute
report from E3 which starts outside the exhibition
as the visitors flock to the show and eventually
goes inside where puzzled Westerners ogle at the
antics of Famitsu's over-the-top (read: very loud)
staffers. The coverage inside starts at the PS3 area
where the camera takes in Gran Turiso HD, the PS3
console encased in a cylindrical case, War Hawk,
Heavenly Sword, and others. The Famitsu cameraman
captures the dancing girls at the Namco X Bandai
area before heading over to the Spore demonstration
on the wrap-around screen. The next area is the Wii
exhibition which shows off the innovative
controller. Last but not least, Famitsu crew check
out what's doing with the X360.
» Konami Official Bemani Challenge where competitors
bang drums, strum guitars, and slap the ivories in
perfect syncopation in Beatmania IIDX12. The
BMIIDX players are so perfect that their fingers
look robotic as they dance over the keys. The demonstration
simultaneously shows the Beatmania
game screen on top and the arcade DJ deck on the
bottom as magic fingers do their thing. No cues are
missed and the player streams through nearly 1000
GREATs until the footage stops. Games featured are as follows:
Beatmania IIDX 12
Pop 'n Music 13
Guitar Freaks V2
DrumMania V2
This particular segment is worth watching for any Bemani fan.
