Wangan Midnight
Based off the manga, which had a couple OVAs and was recently turned into a tv show this past summer, Wangan has had a stream of video games, that were especially popular in the arcades. Like I said a few posts back about the Initial D arcade game, I had the pleasure of getting my ass handed to me in a Segaland in Okinawa by some dude driving that damn S30 Z. Anyhow, last week it made it's debut on the PS3, hitting the Japan game charts at number 22. *sigh* Compared to Forza 2 sales in Japan that's kind of dissapointing. Add on to the fact the 360 doesn't even sell, is a slap in the face. OK, I guess it wasn't that popular, but I liked the series nonetheless and the arcade games were palm sweating good. I might just have to pick up a PS3 if this game ever comes to the US and master that devil Z.
Why Mini-Vans/MPVs have gotten even cooler in my book
I must admit, I really am into mini-vans and MPVs. Yes, I know. I was ridiculed in high school for wanting a Previa. It was an awesome little van though...I mean come on, you can't go wrong with two sunroofs! Anyhow, saw this clip over at TheDriftScene and it has again re-ignited my love for all things Previa/Estima. Who needs a 4-door Skyline to take the family out drifting? It's all about using the family van and taking along the grandparents! Love it...shhh don't tell that to my car.
