Addendums

Two post-Fanime tidbits:

• For iPhone/iPad-equipped fans of Taiko no Tatsujin: Taiko no Tatsujin Plus has been released. It’s a free app that’s compatible with both iPhone and iPad, and instead of paying up front, you pay for song pack DLC (Y600 per pack) instead to append to the one free song that comes with the game. The problem: the first two (of three) song packs are rehashes of the first two iPhone releases! As a percieved apology, however, Namco released an update for the original Taiko no Tatsujin that adds the infamous boss song KAGEKIYO (pictured above) for players who have at least unlocked Oni difficulty (8500 Don Points).
• Fanime, although hectic, was pretty amazing. I’ve got a draft of a longer post sitting around waiting for me to add more to it, but I’m playing the aforementioned song instead. Oh, and my previous post in regards to Foursquare? It didn’t work as I thought it would, mostly because there were only a handful of people that played, and those that did were split between the convention center and the actual “Fanime Con” venue. Oh, well — there’s always next year!!
