It has been a while since I last did Hyperland Weekly, a round-up of what I have been up to in a week. I went to Hong Kong early in the week, which explains the slow news in the site, it’s a lovely city to go as always and a place I will visit again soon. However, I didn’t get to buy as many toys or game related stuff as I wish this time but am very lucky to get Otomo Ailu (or Otomo Airou officially) from Capcom’s Official Monster Hunter X Touma Hunter Trading Figure ($7.49 at Play-Asia).

Besides Ailu, I bought a Nintendo DSi to see what’s the fuss is about and I must say I’m quite impressed with the new camera and music player. The web browser is more convenient than what we have on the PSP too. Thanks to piracy (or the lack of it), it’s quite cheap in Hong Kong now, only HKD1470 ($189) and it’s readily available almost everywhere.

Have very little time for games as a result of my travel but is currently playing Star Ocean The First Departure, LittleBigPlanet and Disgaea 3. Love what I’ve seen of Star Ocean so far, the sprites are really amazing although the battle system takes some getting used to. As for LBP, already have an idea for my own level, hope to get it done soon.

No new PSP game for me until Dissidia Final Fantasy but just look at this week’s crazy release list. Patapon 2 Donchaka♪, Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters GX Tagforce 3, Kenka Banchou 3: Zenkoku Seiha and Mobile Suit Gundam: Gundam vs. Gundam are among at least 7 new PSP games this week. Gundam vs. Gundam in particular is looking really hot and Sinobi predicts more than 100,000 in the first week for the game.

Time to go back and clear up all my backlog of games then.
