I don’t know how to read or speak a single word of Japanese, but all the cool stuff that they won’t share with me is making a trip over there more and more of a necessity. Take this incredible Pokemon Tretta arcade game from Marvelous AQL. It dispenses collectible trettas that you can either use in battles or trade with your friends. All you do is insert 100 yen coin, pick out your Pokemon, and see who wins. There’s even going to be a carrying case available. You’ll be able to check out this game in July, but only if you’re in Japan. Man, I’ve got to get over there or I’ll never catch ‘em all.

With Sega’s Live Dream Sensor Stage you don’t have to listen the music as it has been released. You choose not only what song to play but which of the instruments you want to hear. The concept is simple: if you want to hear a particular instrument for the song that is playing, just place it on the stage. If you don’t want to hear any particular instrument, just leave it off the stage. There are two sets available, a rock set and a jazz set that have different included songs and instruments with downloadable tracks available online for each. Both sets have working, music enabled stage lighting but apparently no smoke machine is included.
