Welcome to the first Genki Video Games Blog post - the rest have been switched from our news page so we can hopefully get more feedback from your goodselves. They'll be more updates too rather than just what's new on the site - but a good place to start might be recent additions...We have come across some crazy games in our time including a Bangaioh prize edition we didn't even know existed... (Just don't ask the price... )
It appears 'Prize Bangaio' was given out to the five highest score contestants in a Japanese gaming contest. Apparently the game (and what you can see on the front) came with a signed Bangaio themed telephone card that appears to be signed by someone at Treasure (maybe someone who knows Treasure well can decipher it?) and a special poster. Not sure if the game is the same version or not...? Maybe its like a Caravan PC Engine edition...? Only five exist. If you are curious the winning score was 60,199,689 - not sure how long that took to clock up! The contest took place on the 31st of January 2000AD. I think I need a bit of practice before entering the next one!
Anyway just thought that'd be of interest to the DC vets out there. For more on this with links to Treasure's site please click here...
Otherwise we've had our first batch of stupedously stunning looking PS3 titles arrive fresh from the queue in Akihabara. The raw power of the console seems frightening so we await releases from the big boys such as Konami, Capcom and indeed Sony with intrepidation.Also fresh from Japan comes the spanking Famicom tribute Game Boy Micro the height of retro chic combined with Nintendo's know how producing a truly portable handheld reminiscent of the kings of the playground Game & Watch titles.
Well happy gaming and we look forward to hearing your thoughts...GenkiVideoGames.com
