Japan Gaming Guide

Those people who use the Wii as their only source of weather information may be in for a surprise this weekend. There’s an absolutely massive typhoon making it’s way across Japan at the moment – but no mention of it on the Weather channel.

The TV weather news over here features smiley faced clouds, a blue faced Samurai who appears when it’s cold and some sort of giant sausage thing that we don’t really understand, but suspect might be to do with air pressure, or something.

We were hoping, then, that the Weather channel might feature something interesting. A giant Bowser hovering menacingly over the ocean; a Lakatu throwing down spiky Koopas. Instead we have a picture of an umbrella. On the plus side, we are told that there’s a 100% chance of rain. The trouble is, anyone heading out with an umbrella tonight is going to find themselves flying rapidly through the air, similar to the way Mary Poppins would have done, if Mary Poppins had been directed by John Woo.

So, beware, there’s a storm coming.
