<p>Bethesda and the wonders of Flash animation bring you <a href="http://bethblog.com/index.php/2011/01/03/the-official-fallout-new-vegas-japanese-rpg-demake/" target="_blank"><strong>Fallout3 - the JRPG</strong></a>.</p>
<blockquote>What would Fallout look like if it had been made in 1987 by a Japanese development studio? Our scientists have answered that question, taking over the Japanese Fallout website with an 8-bit version of the Capital Wasteland.<br /><br />Just like that import copy of Final Fantasy 5 you nabbed in the 90s, this game is Japanese language-only. Fortunately, it&rsquo;s still amusing to gaze at the pixelated approximations of super mutants and the like. Here&rsquo;s a <a href="http://www.bethsoft.com/jpn/fo/fo_quest/index.html" target="_blank">direct link</a> right to the game; no cartridge-cleaning required.</blockquote>

Just when you thought Fallout can't be raped further Bethesda shows you a true scientifimajic

it’s still amusing to gaze at the pixelated approximations of super mutants and the like

But not at 4-pixel chairs?

[gromit]

It would look like Wasteland with crazy moon-language. Why is this not surprising?

 

[DarkUnderlord]

Kind of a wacky publicity stunt.

Edit: Looks like New Vegas is being released in Japan Land.

YES
He went on great journey

New Vegas is already out in Japan.
That "game" is really just an info page that's made to look like an 8-bit game. Each location you can select displays one aspect of the gameplay, like for example in the lower right corner there's a guy begging for water, and you can select things like running away, declining, pissing him off or just giving him some water. No matter what you chose, you get a box that explains what would happen next and then you can try something else.

Upper right corner you get to select a skill to improve after you level up and it says what that would do for you in the actual game, and so on...

Kewl. Too bad it's all in wapanese.

 

[GlutenBurger]

If there are any folk who can read it, what's the deal with the Tepid Sewers location in the top right? The character walks up, kills a merman, and then you're given a full eleven options. Does it explore a plethora of corpse mutilation possibilities?

Also, why do you get bad karma for choosing the second option when selecting locations? Is it for just standing outside and flipping off the inhabitants or something?

[denizsi]

This is some solid fucking PR. Haters gonna hate but Bethesda knows how to PR the fuck out of anything.

Our scientists

Bethesda has scientists?

They are able to read and write - that's a huge amount of knowledge they have compared to anyone in their target audience.

Between all your aimless raging, you are actually quite witty, at least in a cynical way. Almost always surprises me.

I guess, if you call that writing.
