This link will get you to the new DQ IV promo vid. Enter site, click the second button from the left on the bottom row. From left: TGS ‘07 version, TV ad (30sec) version, TV ad (director’s cut – 1min. 14sec) version. The TV ads will only be online until 31st January.

Club Nintendo of Japan has come up with some goodies. Super Mario Galaxy Original Soundtrack (28tracks; 250 points, if you register the game; 400 points otherwise). By the way, that’s only until 15th January. For those who have amassed 400+ points between 1st Oct. ‘06 and 30th Sept. ‘07 will get one of: Wii SuperFamicon Classic Controller, Super Mario Galaxy Soundtrack Platina Version (81tracks, 2CDs), or Official Nintendo Calendar 2008 (x2). To get the latter goodies, you must apply before 2nd Dec.

A rather nostalgic game, this one is. Well, for anyone who spent their childhood between 1975 and 1985, that is. Filled with classic games and keywords from that period, and including picturesque environments from back then that you won’t see these days, not to mention some classic soundtracks that’ll have me and any other of my generation wallowing in sweet, sweet nostalgia… Titled 放課後少年 (Houkago Shounen: After-school Kid), coming out 31st January, approx. £23 for the DS. I think the mention of the tracks, およげ!たいやきくん and 山口さんちのツトム君 has sold me.
