Welcome to Japanator Games Week!
E3 is done and over with. The staff of Destructoid are resting their tired feet from the endless days of reporting out of Los Angeles. Now that the glut of news is done, it's time to take a closer look at the Japanese gaming industry. All this week, we will be taking a look at some of our favorite Japanese franchises, visiting the local Japanese import shop, and giving you recommendations on what games to import. Plus much much more! So be sure to stay tuned to Japanator all week long as we give you enough gaming coverage to push you over into a diabetic coma! Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
