Keiji Inafune on Japan’s struggle to be relevant in games again, and what it has to do with indie
If anyone remembers the heyday of Japanese gaming's global domination, it's Keiji Inafune. The man responsible for Mega Man, Dead Rising and Onimusha has been a champion in the marketplace since the NES days. He recently left Capcom to form his own indie games studio, Comcept, and his first creator-owned project, Mighty No. 9.It's a pretty familiar story; we've seen plenty of notable developers go this route in the West. But in Japan, Inafune is an anomaly.And that might just be what's wrong with Japanese gaming.At a GDC panel last week dubbed "Meanwhile, in Japan," Inafune was joined on stage by Mark MacDonald of Japanese localization company 8-4.

Everybody knows the folks behind lovable games like Peggle, Plants vs Zombies and Chuzzle. But in the East? Well… in some parts, PopCap does quite well, but when it comes to Japan, PopCap doesn't have a single self-published game on the market. But that's all about to change with Bejeweled Legend.
Gachagate 2012: The rise and fall of card-based gambling in Japanese social games
You know the old adage, "addicted to videogames?" The one that parents like to bandy around when they want their kids to stop playing and do their homework, or when they're cavorting with other baby-boomers about the ills of today's media-driven society? Well it seems it carries a little more literal weight overseas, where the practices of some major social games in Japan have led to some absurd spending and - subsequently - recent litigation
