Anyone who knows me well will know that I love Nintendo products.
Also that I have a weak spot for hand-held gadgets. To me Nintendo is
the Apple of the games world, the items they produce are pieces of art
rather than just toys, put together with love and care. So its no
surprise that I just have to own their latest piece of hardware, the
game boy micro.
One
thing that I have never done is buy a new games machine on the day of
its release. So with nothing to do before work, I decided to kill time
by heading out to Yodobashi Camera electrical store in Shinjuku, in
order to plug this hole in my personal experience. However, I have to
admit it was a tad on the boring side, no queues and crowds, no girls
dressed in cute costumes and definitely no real buzz in the air.
I
guess it shows the sorry state of the games industry in Japan, people
just aren't interested in this kind of release any more. Or maybe that
today's gamers need something new and not just another updated old
handheld. At least I got what I wanted, so I am happy.
