Half past two Adam ? You really did sound sleepy indeed 
.
I think I remember reading that there was a Korean version of the Game Boy; Wasn't it called the Comboy, or something like that ? And SNES was the Super Comboy I think... But that was probably not officially supported by Nintendo, and I'm sure this wasn't distributed by them directly like they're doing now with the DS and Wii brands.
A watched this recently. So for those interested in gaming in Korea, I can't recommend enough that they watch this (although admittedly the video is already almost 5 years old) :
I recommend all of Game Center CX episodes anyway, it's such a wonderful show
. I hope to meet Arino someday ! It's one of my new goals in life.
Anyway, that was a nice listen, and a refreshing change of the usual formula to start the year
. Good work to the rest of the staff for their thoughts on 2011 as well

You can really tell I'm half asleep - my breathing pattern is all over the place! Turned out okay, though, I reckon.
Here's a quote from an old article of mine, from when I was last in Korea at the beginning of 2009:
Not Daewoo, the car manufacturer, as I stated in the podcast.
Also, it's not the Han River that is near the border. I think it was actually the Yalu River...not entirely sure, but I know it's certainly not the Han. Obviously I was more tired than I realised!

Interestingly enough, the Wii in South Korea doesn't play any GameCube titles, not even those released in Korea in the past.

Nintendo did not even roll out the big guns from Day One either, and its releases since then have been few and far between. Simply taking a quick look at the official Korean Wii website clearly indicates the Seoul-based arm of Nintendo is biding its time, gauging interest throughout its first year on the market after the disastrous GameCube era (Korean distributor Daewon simply launched the Japanese language version, barely supported it and has been openly criticised several times for its treatment of the platform...).

I personally prefer SCANDAL, but they're more rock than pop.
