Tendo City

It has colors and SOUNDS!

Yes, it is a lame advertising slogan, but then again isn't it also pointless to put "COLOR" in big letters on the box of an HDTV? (Are there black and white HDTV sets out there? Are there black and white TVs being made at all anywhere in the multiverse any more?)

Interesting game. What most intrigues me is the various new takes on the Pong game they have in there.

I wonder if these are going to ever come out here... I'm not overly optimistic, but I guess it's maybe possible.

"These" or "this"? I think it's just one game with a large number of minigames. However, if it is multiple minigames sold individually, wow, we're talking Atari 2600 level game content. :D

At any rate, all those Pong itterations are really compelling. I hope it has standard pong, 4 way pong, and of course, War Lords.

No, each is sold individually. Notice the two seperate 'waves' and release dates? Each (of the seven titles) is a separate product. However, each one is just 2000 Yen... about $17 US. That's a lot less than the average game price in Japan... it's a series of low-priced, simple games. They definitely look like fun...

Didn't notice that at all because Japanese is GOBBLEDEGOOK! :D
