Quote: Oct. 11, Tue. Main Feature: Mobile phone games & Tokyo Game Show 2011 Here are the latest mobile phone games from the Tokyo Game Show 2011 at Makuhari Messe on September 17th and 18th. BANDAI's Tamagotchi is remembered as the first mobile phone game back in 1997 - it was built into the PHS Personal Handy-phone System. Today, smart phones are the big thing in Japan and they are producing a whole new generation of phone game apps. Hardware sizes are being unified, the definition is amazing, prices are affordable and the games are easy to find by genre. People who have never owned a game terminal before are now tempted to have a go. We look at the new-style videogames in Japan through this phone game lens. Creator's interview: Taketo Shinkai, Japanese Animation Director Japanese animation director Taketo Shinkai is a minimalist - there is hardly any movement in his so-called Conversation Dramas of dialogue between characters. This young creator, born in 1982, gives center stage to the words. His awards include an honorable mention for Yume (Dream) in the Animation Division of the Agency for Cultural Affairs' 8th Fine Arts Festival and he was also named one of Japan's 100 vanguard directors in JAPANESE MOTION GRAPHIC CREATORS 2008. And he has such a rich sense of humor. `<br></br>Dropped video frames<br></br><br></br> Found average frame timing of 32.67 ms<br></br><br></br> Line Duration (ms) Time window<br></br> 221 226 0:00:07.267 -> 0:00:07.493<br></br> 473 174 0:00:15.860 -> 0:00:16.034<br></br> 481 369 0:00:16.267 -> 0:00:16.636<br></br> 494 167 0:00:17.036 -> 0:00:17.203<br></br> 541 172 0:00:18.736 -> 0:00:18.908<br></br> 590 173 0:00:20.508 -> 0:00:20.681<br></br> 1307 318 0:00:44.548 -> 0:00:44.866<br></br> 1326 232 0:00:45.466 -> 0:00:45.698<br></br> 2303 420 0:01:18.231 -> 0:01:18.651<br></br> 8311 134 0:04:38.884 -> 0:04:39.018<br></br> 9249 100 0:05:10.252 -> 0:05:10.352<br></br> 11086 66 0:06:11.552 -> 0:06:11.618<br></br> 12759 516 0:07:07.352 -> 0:07:07.868<br></br> 12765 133 0:07:08.035 -> 0:07:08.168<br></br> 14832 67 0:08:17.035 -> 0:08:17.102<br></br> 16614 67 0:09:16.468 -> 0:09:16.535<br></br> 20670 160 0:11:31.702 -> 0:11:31.862<br></br> 20675 201 0:11:31.996 -> 0:11:32.197<br></br> 22855 173 0:12:44.830 -> 0:12:45.003<br></br> 22864 170 0:12:45.269 -> 0:12:45.439<br></br> 22868 198 0:12:45.539 -> 0:12:45.737<br></br> 23919 157 0:13:20.737 -> 0:13:20.894<br></br> 42894 167 0:23:53.361 -> 0:23:53.528<br></br> 42926 177 0:23:54.562 -> 0:23:54.739<br></br><br></br>Total frames: 50296<br></br>` **Thanks for the comments!**
