Power-Up your knowledge of Japanese games

Postby Mulboyne » Sat Aug 07, 2004 6:32 am

And the beat goes on

BradyGames brings Power-Up, a book about Japanese games and their influence to shelves this September
The book, scheduled to release in early September, is the first English-language work of its kind to examine the reasons behind the success of Japanese video games, rather than focusing on the history of video games. At over 300 pages, this compelling paperback profiles some of the most fascinating Japanese video game designers in the industry and takes a critical look at Japanese video games from their earliest beginnings to new, exciting trends that ride the bleeding edge of popular culture.


Additional quotation to send Mr. Bildermann round the bend:
"This book is not just for video game fanatics," Fitzpatrick continues. "Chris draws from the worlds of animation, comic books, and Japanese culture as a whole.

Why are Japanese games popular outside of Japan? Maybe because they don't suck?
