How come almost all the cool stuff comes from Japan? According to Kotaku, Nintendo will release a black version of the ever popular Wii and will retail for about ¥25,000 (US$260). For the obsessive-compulsive in all of us, do not worry. Good ole Ninty will also sell black versions of Wii peripherals and will cost as follows: Black Wii Remote ¥3,800 (US$40), Black Nunchaku ¥1,800 (US$19), Black Classic Controller Pro ¥2,000 (US$21). Hmmmm I’d settle for a white version not unless a crimson red Wii comes out.

The Nike commercial features puppet versions of Kobe and Lebron James living together. Maybe Nike is expecting a Lakers vs Cavs finals but my money is on Denver! Setting aside being a fan, this commercial is one of the funniest I have seen as of late so hit the play button and start watching!

This year we the sequel to the smash hit Transformers will be released. Soon after Transformers 2: Revenge of The Fallen, GI Joe: Rise of Cobra will open. Will the onslaught of movies based on cartoons cum action figures cease? Geekothon suggests viable plots for other Hasbro toys.
Ozama Tezuka’s famous creation is now due for the Hollywood treatment. Will another Japanese creation become a screw up?(Godzilla, Speed Racer) or will they do this one right? Jepoy reckons they would screw it up. I am more optimistic about this one. Hey guys don’t screw this 60’s icon or we will give you hell! Hell I tells you!
Nikon is supposed to be a Japanese company but I reckon they did not design the camera with Asians in mind. Talk about cultural sensitivity. The error message is downright racist!
Asus will launch the PC in a keyboard which they will call EEE Keyboard. I supposed there would be a LCD cum trackpad built in and would run on an Intel Atom N270. This thing will ship in June and would be a perfect accompaniment to LCDs.
