Game Center CX coming to DVD in US →
tinycartridge:
Don’t miss the KACHO! Don’t you dare miss the kacho. Anime distributor Discotek Media has picked up the DVD rights to “Retro Game Master,” the translated version of Game Center CX that ran last year on Kotaku, and plans to release it on DVD.
The set will contain twelve episodes, with a nice bonus feature not seen in the Kotaku version: dual audio tracks, English narration and...

The Secret World of Arrietty NY Times Review →
screen equality is rare in American animation (this year Pixar releases its first movie with a female lead), but it’s never been an issue at Ghibli, where girls have long reigned, without the usual frou-frou, in films like “Spirited Away”and “Ponyo.”

Game Center CX 2's 'Triots' hits iOS →
tinycartridge:
I was going to headline this post “Game Center CX 2 released in US*” but that’s too mean of a tease. Really, though, it has been … in a very small part.
The puzzle game Triotos is now available as a standalone iOS app, based on the “Super Game Computer” Triotos DX, for $3. It uses virtual buttons instead of a swipe-based control scheme, but it works reasonably well.

Iwata Asks →
A really good new Iwata Asks column is up on Nintendo’s website. Recommended reading.
We also say “character man” for designers. And programmers are “software man”. This happens regardless of people’s gender.
Inafune Keiji’s influence is still being felt at Capcom.

One of the latest episodes of “GameCenter CX” (ゲームセンターCX) to be subtitled by the fans over at Something Awful (SAGCCX) is “Totsugeki!

No UMD to Vita game conversion for USA →
I am not one who feels entitled to play my PSP games on a PS Vita, so I don’t think Sony are being assholes for doing this.
