   Train fans may go for more riveting rides on five of Japan's most desired train routes (at least according to gamers polled by Taito.) Play the part of a conductor on the Shonan Shijuku line where players start at Omiya station and rumble to the end of the trail at Ofuna Station. Other lines include the Tsurumi, Kosai, Seto Ohashi and the Nagasaki Main Line. Taito includes a total of 120 different train types including the Shinkansen bullet trains and various models such as the JR Kyushu Series 885 Emu. Upon starting the game, players may choose from Operation Mode, Enrollment Mode or the Free Run Mode where mistakes in your execution won't matter. [View back]

NEWS: General Updates
 DELAY   Just as we're wondering about why UK suppliers haven't shipped GBA Shining Soul yet, Infogrames appears to have postponed the game to March 7.
 TOY   Konami plans a new production of the popular set of Metal Gear Solid 2 figures in March 2003. Priced at US$75 per carton of 20 figures, NCS accepts new online preorders starting today. View our original update page for this product which depicts the possible figures in each complete set.
 DOMOKUN   After supplying the big 'un to adorers for over half a year, we're down to our last case of the large Domokun plush this week. Not to set off panic or anything but just a note if you've been thinking of picking one of the brown monsters up.
 USA   PS2 Everblue 2 and Xenosaga are shipping to all preorders today.
 SNOW   There are reports of impending snow tomorrow. Should the skies let loose with another blizzard, we'll do the sparrow photos again and if the camera is deft enough, a squirrel action sequence as it romps through the snowy wasteland.
 AR   Note for everyone calling and writing: The Datel Action Replay for Gamecube is really in stock and shipping to customers. It has been in stock since last week. We understand that some major US retailers still don't have this item but UK suppliers have shipped batches of the AR for us over the past week without interruption.
