The mind of a Japanese game designer must be a very strange place indeed. Red plumbers, blue hedgehogs, monkeys encased in balls and mysterious pig faced strangers are just some of the things that come out of those heads. Well, you know what I think- the whole Japanese nation is, quite literally mad. Clinically mad.
Don’t believe me eh? Well then explain their obsession with sushi. Fishers search out prime grounds to catch schools of fish only to chop the flippers up and serve them without having cooked them. Now that just ain’t right. Perhaps they’re aliens like the Octopus from Futurama who is addicted to fish. Perhaps that would explain why they’re so addicted to...
... small things. Who really needs a mobile phone the size of a credit card? It can only mean on thing: the Japanese are a race of mad aliens who, under their human skin, dozens of really, really small hands. Why dozens? Well, where else do they hold their 10 mobile phones, 2 GBA consoles, wallets and sushi.
Oh, and then there’s the obsession with virtual pets- why don’t they just have real animals? Well, it’s obvious now- the planet that the mad, multi-handed alien race known as the Japanese come from is actually littered with real life Pokemons that the aliens hunt and train to fight each other in great arenas. It certainly explains where so many of the Japanese game ideas come from, and why the Japanese like them so much.
In their spare time, mad, multi-handed, Pokemon-breeding Japanese people also enjoy racing monkeys in balls, and fiddling with genetics to make blue hedgehogs. Everything fits in place.
Like I said, I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe...

I liked the other time the quote "time to die" was used in that film, when harrison ford is getting whipped, and Leon slaps him a few times and says "wake up! time to die!"

Well, some people say that 'Fish gives you Brains' or improves your mind or something along those lines.
Sushi's a fish, maybe there's something strange about it - like Magic Mushrooms! That gives them the abillity to see and imagine wierd things, giving them their game ideas.
Have you seen The Simpsons episode where they go to Japan??
Bart's there cutting out fish guts and he sees a fish talking too him too! Maybe it's the smell or something??
There are people that are happy to live in a land with paper walls to keep them safe, Godzilla attacks, and toilets that you can watch on TV! :S

Well done Bartender! You're the first person to get the quote:)
Oh, and the whole thing goes something like this:
"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe,
Battleships on fire off the arm of Orion,
Sea-beams dazzling for hours on end.
All these moments will be lost,
Liske tears in the rain.
Time to die"
Bladerunner- excellent film

Don't forget some of the most popular genres - Virtual Dating and Horse Racing Sims, which would be bought by about 0.000001% of the population here...
Well, they say genius leads to eccentricity, and the japanese culture seems to point that out in droves.
All these moments will be lost... in time.
Like... tears... in... rain....
Time... to die...
