New Super Mario Bros out! But let's talk about avoidance

New Super Mario Bros out! So I had to see the gaming action at Sofmap Kobe. People were grabbing the NSMB left and right. There were scads of chicks in self-defense groups picking up that and Tai / China / other foreign country "Point and Speak" DS software, etc. There were people milling around gawking DS lite order slips. It felt like an Apple Store.

I almost phoned/text'd my friend to tell him they had another shipment of DS Lites but it would probably be sold out before he got out of work. Me, I satisfied myself with another round of the NSMB demo unit. I kept telling myself to move on and wait it out. It will be there when I'm ready, and besides I've got a milions of games to play, not to mention tens of hours of Sudoku to get through. Check out this guy at Minna ni naisho da yo who actually completely finished the NSMB (US version) before it came out in Japan, sweet.

The next bunch of paragraphs are full of things I want to talk about in other posts.

While at the store I bought that Insanity Naked Hunters (INH) video The Shooting Love for Trizeal and XIIStag, at 3000 yen. I couldn't let a shmup skills video at 50% off pass up like that.

I wanted to get a copy of Oodama but even at the discounted price of 4000 yen it's still too high.

The Nintendo DS magazine (2006/07) by Famitsu shown above has a promotional mail-in order campaign for the 2 CD soundtrack to Animal Crossing Wild World (see lower right hand corner of picture). I'll be explaining this in another post.

Not pictured yet... but I picked up a 1/8 scale figure of Nanoha Takamachi of Nanoha A's anime. Look for some park hopping photo session soon.

Exiting the store, I downloaded a Nintendo DS demo of some picture book game. Something about cute mice jumping on pancakes. Nice.

Okay, one post a day, max!
