Kingdom Hearts II translation
Dragon Quest – Boy Yangus – site has released a short video clip for the upcoming game. If you can stand the constant ‘buffering’ and not understanding the narration, click the button at bottom of page. It looks like one playable game – personal reminder to ask mate to send it :)
As of today also, Capcom has announced a Game on Demand service… as in, you can play those Capcom games on your computer, be it Windows or Macs. You will need to register, however, so click on the game you want to play and the first clickable bit, click – takes you to a pop up window for registering. Email address, retype email, User ID, password, retype password, sex: left is for women, right for men, date of birth (year, month, day), postcode (Japanese one I’m afraid), occupation (no doubt you can leave it blank or pick ‘other’ which is right at the bottom), click the obligatory ‘I agree’ with terms of contract etc., and then click the blue button – you’ve made it. So far, the games available are: Dino Crisis, Chaos Legion, Bio Hazard 3 and Rockman X5. From January, Bio Hazard 2 and Onimusha 3 will be available.
Kingdom Hearts II is out today in Japan, and the site has two new wallpapers added. You will need to put your name in to access the Flash site by the way. It’ll lead you to the main page which has the categories (from top): Story, Character, World, Twilight Town, Download, System and News.
Story: for some unknown reason, it was taking an unreasonable amount of time (I waited ten mins) to download, so let’s skip that, shall we?
Character: starting with Sora, you can scroll through and see the cast
World: if you’re familiar with the Disney productions, no problem
Twilight Town: it’s the first town you’re at… the rest is ‘under construction’
