Pokemons Invade Children's Hospitals

Much like those-specially-darn-cute-dogs that make rounds in US hospitals, the Pokemon mobile X-ray machine pictured below is designed to put a smile on sick children's faces.

Shimadzu, a Japanese company, came up with this awesome idea. The machine comes in Pokemon Diamond or Pearl theme, complete with Pokeball wheels. What's more awesome is that the thing actually works as an X-ray machine.

Pokemons never fails to brigthen my day whenever I see one, and I'm 20+ years old. Imagine what it can do to kids, and Japanese kids at that :)

Play God with Konami's Ant Nation

Konami is on a roll these past few weeks, and the Nintendo DS is in their sights as well. They are set to release WireWay, a platform/action game, and Ant Nation, a game where you decide the fate of an entire ant farm.

Ant Nation is a strategy game where you train ants to help them endure harsh weathers and marauding invaders. How can you train ants, you ask? By using various objects of torture such as hammers, fire, water and many more.

Sounds a ton of awesome. I've played a similar game years ago on the PC, I just can't remember the title of the game :(

Final Fantasy VII Now Available for Download

Hold your horses FFVII fans! This amazing PlayStation Store download is only available in Japan. Sorry to disappoint you there. But it's good to know, though, right?

The classic RPG that everyone loves (or hate??) can now be played in handheld form via the PSP, just in time for the Blu-ray release of Advent Children Complete. Final Fantasy VII for the PSP, or PS3, can be purchased for 1500 yen and is a hefty 1715MB download.

As an FF fan, I would dearly love to see this find its way in the US. Sadly, there are no such news yet. Xenogears was released in Japan too, but never made it here :(

The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks Trailer

If this is anything near Phantom Hourglass then we're all in for a ride! And by the looks of the trailer, it is plus a whole bunch more!



As far as I can tell from The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks trailer above, the graphics are pretty much the same. We see the same old Link from Hourglass riding a train, casting some sort of wind magic, and fighting off a huge insect. Awesome!

I Have An Arcade Site

Alright. I have to come clean. The real reason why I haven't been posting for the past few weeks is I'm too busy. Too busy with work. Too busy working on my NEW arcade site!!! And it's crazy awesome according to my mom.

AracadeLoco is what I decided to call it. And it's up and running now. It's a work in progress though. So please excuse the mess. As far as I can tell the hard part is done and I can now go back to blogging. Yay! Again, thats http://www.arcadeloco.com. Visit it dammit!
