I hope you're doing well, and for many people in the USA dealing with the freak stretch of snow lately. Surprising that here in Portland, OR it has snowed the entire week. View from my window:
Some neat things will be announced in early 2009!As a subscriber to the list, you can expect to see a new free Specialty Gamer 2009 calendar magnet (with new original artwork on it!) sent out sometime in January. If you have moved since you joined, you may want to make sure your address on file is current. Or if you didn't add your address when you signed up, you may want to if you want the 2009 gift. Be sure and tell your friends and have them sign up, and I'll send em one too! Check here to subscribe to the newsletter list, edit or add details: www.specialtygamer.com/list/ A brand new piece of Specialty Gamer merchandise will be available sometime next year for purchase. I'll announce it when they're ready, but trust me its something good. They are being made in a limited quantity though - and as a subscriber, I'll give you first shot to get one before they're sold out. The latest Big Feature:Be sure to check out the 1 on 1 interview Dant did with localization specialist, Brian Gray, responsible for working on many games for Square and other companies to bring games out of Japan to everyone else. Definately worth a read for any game players to hear what actually goes into bringing a game made specifically for Japanese cultures, to an English speaking crowd, and have everything make sense in the translation. Next Big Feature coming soon:John will be giving an interview with Super Fighter Team's main man himself, Brandon Cobb AKA Deathadder. It will definately be interesting to hear what Brandon has to say right behind the major news in the SEGA Genesis world - Super Fighter Team's own release of Legend of Wukong, the only commercial release in 2008 for SEGA Genesis. (Pier Solar, a different SEGA Genesis release by Watermelon has been pushed back to a 2009 release) Hear what he has to say about that and other projects Super Fighter Team has and will be working on.
