How Different is Left 4 Dead in Japan?

Al_Taransky Japan, Left 4 Dead 6

There are Japanese games where the gameplay and characters are changed when the game got released in the US. Then there are American games that also change the game to cater to the Japanese Audience. Games are going through changes once they made it to the western or Japanese market. The games need to go to alterations to cater to the taste of the locals. Japanese games had been westernized while Western games had been Japanized because Japan have a different culture. Left 4 Dead The cast of Left 4 Dead one is composed of Francis, Bill, Zoey, and Louis. Francis is a tattooed biker in his thirties.

This Pandemic had harmed the income of theatrical box office releases around the world. It is a different story with Japan now. Theaters started re-opening, and the movie adaptation of the second story arc of the Manga Demon Slayer had slain the Japanese Box office! Even in the time of quarantine and social distancing, this movie still did well with flying colors. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Train had earned $110.5 million in just two weeks. This film is supposed to be the first story arc of the second season of the Anime, but the UFOtable company decided to adapt this arc for a movie instead. There is a possibility that this story arc will be a television version in Season 2. Skipping this arc in favor of the entertainment district arc is also a possibility. The 1st Arc of the Anime Dragonball Super is a television series version of the Dragonball Z Battle of the Gods movie. The Manga had ended in April 2020, and if

Hungry? You might be after attending this year’s New York Asian Film Festival Winter Showcase. This year’s picks are all food-themed. From the self-proclaimed “ramen western” Tampopo to Korea’s fried-chicken hit Extreme Job, to the Taiwanese cooking competition at the center of Zone Pro Site: The Moveable Feast, your eyeballs will be assaulted with all sorts of Asian cuisine. Chances are you’ll feel like consuming a lot of it, and you’ll get the chance…food vendors will be in attendance serving up the yummy dishes seen on screen. “With the second Winter Showcase, we decided to continue to explore repertory programming in the most fun way possible – with a lineup that connects food and film, and shows that they transcend borders,” says executive director Samuel Jamier. “It’s a great occasion to relish different Asian food cultures, and the food itself! But for the more attentive viewers, it’s also an occasion to discover why cooking and eating are so central to so many Asian films. How they address themes of family,

When In Japan, Dine At The Capcom Cafe

Capcom has announced the first cafe to bear its name will open at the Aeon LakeTown shopping mall in Koshigaya, Japan. The Capcom Cafe will not only sell the typical offerings of a Japanese cafe, but will also sell Capcom merchandise not available outside the cafe itself. It will also contain a special demo machine that will allow visitors to preview the latest games from the company. Why does Capcom need a cafe? According to them, it’s for “maximizing the value of [our] IPs and creating new opportunities for revenue while working to further enhance [our] performance.” Naturally, the cafe will be promoting Capcom’s latest games whenever they’re about to be released….starting with Monster Hunter X, which released in Japan on November 28. During launch week the cafe will play host to “large-scale panel displays of monsters on the walls” and “monstrously stylized menu items.” Capcom has opened mall outlets in the past: it currently runs amusement arcades called “Plaza Capcom,” a themed food store and a children’s play area

Real Pokemon Gym Built In Osaka, Japan

In the Pokemon games, Gyms are where you go to prove yourself and your training abilities. Once you’ve bested the Leader of each Gym, you’re given a badge. The more badges you have, the more respect you get in the Pokemon world. First reported by the Japanese website Inside Games and later translated by Siliconera, a real Pokemon Gym — called the Pokemon Expo Gym — opens next month. Inside fans can meet in person, battle and trade with each other….or if your friends haven’t arrived yet, you can play arcade “training” games that will net you items useable in Pokemon X, Y, Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire. They’re working on other reasons to go to the Gym. A special smartphone app is in development called the Pokemon Expo Gym Gear that will be tied to the Gym and will track your stats and ranking within. As for badges, who knows — nothing in the report said they could be earned, which begs the question if it can really be

It could only happen in Japan: a new line of Pokemon-themed merchandise has gone on sale that depicts some of the franchise’s most popular characters from the rear-end side only. Officially called the Hip Pop! Parade line, Pokemon butts can now be purchased to decorate your home, your car or your workplace. They include change purses, tote bags and pillows, but most importantly, also boxer shorts. Right now, Hip Pop! Parade is exclusively available through the Japanese Pokemon Store. There’s no word if the American wing of that store will be getting some bootylicious Piplup soon, but if you anticipate an amiibo-like hoarding situation and MUST have the butts NOW before the scalpers get them first, the Pokemon Store also sells its goods online through Amazon’s Japanese branch. Maybe you can do some trial-and-error guesswork and fumble your way into purchasing one.

About Nintendo’s Scalper Problem

We need to talk about Nintendo’s scalper problem. There have been isolated incidents here and there, but nothing like what we’ve seen ever since Amiibos hit the market. Wave 1 of the Amiibo figures came to stores last November. At first everyone in the lineup was available, but then Wii Fit Trainer and Villager disappeared and were not restocked. It was discovered Nintendo produced a much smaller number of the Amiibos they figured would not be as popular, with the result that they have become a thousand times MORE popular now that barely anyone can have them. Knowledge of this fact has caused the playing field for Wave 2 to become heavily skewed in favor of scalpers. In one case a man who hated Rosalina set aside $35,000 of his own money to preorder as many Rosalina Amiibos as he could possibly get, just so no one else could have one. The problem has been amplified with the Majora’s Mask 3DS, which in the two days since its reveal has

Incest Themed Comic Removed From Kindle Store

Apparently fictional incest is among the things Amazon would prefer not to be associated with. Amazon removed the manga, Imōto Paradise! 2 (Younger Sister Paradise 2), from the Kindle store this Wednesday after the Tokyo Metropolitan Government designated the manga as an “unhealthy publication” under the 2011 revised ordinance regulating the sale of publications depicting adult content regarded as unhealthy to the development of the Tokyo’s youth under the age of 18. Imōto Paradise! 2 is the first publication to be restricted by the Tokyo government’s after the Youth Healthy Development Ordinance was passed in 2011 and full restrictions on the manga’s sale in Tokyo book stores will go in effect on Friday. According to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, the manga was restricted in accordance to the Tokyo ordinance For The Healthy Development of Youths due to its depiction of sex between close relatives. Honestly, I suspect that Imōto Paradise! 2 would be on the list of manga’s that would never possibly reach the shelf of your average bookstore in America, however the manga was apparently fairly popular
