PlayDevil has written a feature regarding "Gaming In Japan".
Here's a snip:
"Arcades here are never solely gaming affairs. Sharing space with slots, gatcha-gatcha (capsule toys), UFO catchers or purikura (dolled up photo booths – filled with giggling school girls) the 'game centers' of Japan offer a very different experiences from the black arcades of Europe. Neon colours and music surround you on entry. Friendly staff members are on hand to help, plus every thing works. These are the wonderlands of Japan's game related culture."
It's important in life to maintain a broad palette when it comes to culture and the arts. Hideo Kojima agrees, as he continues to use video games like Death Stranding to introduce people to music and other elements they might not otherwise discover.
Mojang has partnered with Merlin Entertainments to build the world's first Minecraft theme park in the UK.
A three-episode live-action adaptation of the first two Yakuza video games will debut Tuesday, March 17 exclusively IGN. Each episode is about an hour long and will stream on IGN.com and IGN’s YouTube channel.
