Japan's game makers are getting on the Twitter bandwagon. The head of Square Enix, Yoichi Wada, recently outed himself. The latest to join the club is Metal Gear Solid designer Hideo Kojima.
You can read and follow his Twitter account right here.
The issue with both Twitter accounts, however, is the language barrier. Both Wada and Kojima are Japanese speakers, so, naturally, their Twitter accounts are entirely in Japanese, too.
Maybe we need cloned Twitter accounts to translate the ones we can't read? My head hurts.
Have something to share? Sitting on a news tip? E-mail me. You can also follow me on Twitter.

What is curling competitions, Kana similarity to hit business targets aiming to throw stones. Indicate the direction of people who like to sweep forward well. Can also obstruct the path is, or was pushed. I want to hit the PW ~

I feel like the Japanese and Chinese - and maybe even Koreans with their stacked alphabet - can say so much more than English speakers can with Twitter's limited character count.

Anyone using Firefox should get the Hyper text addon. it has a built in translator that translates right on the page. very useful.

I-I don't think I'll be following him any time soon do we have a translater in the house?????? Guess not.

Now all he has to do is just tweet: "A next Metal Gear is......" :D

Just use the Google translate extension in chrome. It works perfectly.

That's actually a pretty good idea for a twitter bot. *takes some notes*
