So despite being in Japan, the big news today is that the game I worked on for Vicarious Visions, Guitar Hero: On Tour, released on Sunday. It's only out in America I believe, so I can't get my hands on a retail copy yet, but IGN's review is pretty positive, they give it a 9/10.
I've heard unofficially that the game sold 70,000k copies on it's first day, (I have no idea how good Sunday releases for games usually do, but sounds pretty good), and that 2 million copies of the game were manufactured.
Amazon has GH: On Tour for sale by itself, but it's also shipping in a bundle with the Nintendo DS itself.
Here in Japan, I made it back to Kanazawa today, and went out to eat at Hige Cho again. After my trip to Kyoto, I'm starting to get more confident with speaking Japanese, so I finally asked them how their menu works, because I really never understood. Then, we watched the Matrix in Japanese for some reason, and then I studied for class tomorrow.
