My goal, to learn Japanese and to be able to completely understand imported video games in two to three years. As you know japan is basically the video game capital of the world, and being that many games come out much earlier in japan than the united states. After learning Japanese, I can import games, and become more informed on gaming news. As of now I’m only learning online, but next year I may take courses in collage. Anyways that’s whats new with me.
Yo! Ive been studying Japanese for 2 1/2 years and can get most of whats going on in video games with the help of a kanji dictionary (theres a great one on the DS). Its tough, bt once you get into th swing of things it becomes a lot easier….but you really need to have the spoken knowledge as well, find japanese people and speak to them, otherwise (from studying academic japanese) you wont have any idea of whats going on in a lot of games because of the slang used
But its nice to see someone else properly giving it a shot…頑張って！
Dozo yoroshiku!
I too am learning Japanese, albeit somewhat slowly. My aim is just to understand it, though the gaming element would help me play all those sexy import games faster. I could have been playing FF6 on a GBA months and months ago! Plus, it’s a really nice language to know I think. You never know, might make a few quid along the way
[...] All right, Super Mario All-Stars was released in 1993, some eight years after the Japanese release of Super Mario Bros. Although I, in most cases, prefer playing the original, I still enjoy playing the a All-Stars version. Super Mario All-Stars gave some great graphical updates to the old Mario games, including, Parallax scrolling in the backgrounds. The ability to save your game was also added, that at the time, not so much now, was a big deal. The NES equivalent of saving your game outside The Legend Of Zelda, was simply leaving your Nintendo on and pushing it off to the side until you were ready to play again. That being so, make the collection itself worthy of owning. Also Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels or Super Mario Bros. 2(スーパーマリオブラザーズ2) in Japan, was included. I really enjoyed playing these four worlds, they were much more challenging then the eight worlds of Super Mario Bros.. Anyways, the problem is that I can’t easily believe that Nintendo will ever release Super Mario All-Stars for the Virtual Console. Why would Nintendo release a game for $8 when they the original three games for $5 a piece. I don’t know about you but for me this is upsetting. Will I ever see Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels on the Wii? I thought of three things Nintendo could do. One thing they could do is allow those who bought all three to download All Stars for free or a Dollar or so. Two they could offer the Super Mario All-Stars Rom with The lost levels being the only thing available, and sell that for a few bucks. finally they could release a whole new Lost Levels remake for the Wii. I hope that what ever the case, Nintendo Will give Mario Fans what they want, and release some form of Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels. | | | | | | | | | | | Permalink [...]
