Angry Birds Hits Japan for Cherry Blossom Season, Partners with Fuji TV
Ever since Rovio chose to celebrate its 2nd birthday in Japan, it was expected that a Japanese version of Angry Birds Seasons was in the works. The game developer just yesterday pushed out a cherry blossom festival update for the title for both Android and iOS. Rovio also partnered with Japan’s Fuji TV to bring Angry Birds to many new fans via the Fuji TV website at angrybirds.fujitv.co.jp.
Rovioが設立2年目を日本で祝うことを決めた時から、日本版Angry Birdsシーズンの作品に期待が寄せられていた。ゲーム開発会社が、AndroidとiOS用のゲームタイトル、cherry blossom festivalを昨日ちょうどアップデートした。また、Rovioはフジテレビのウェブサイトangrybirds.fujitv.co.jpを介してAngry Birdsを多くの新しいファンに届けるため、フジテレビと組んだのだ。
I gave the game a try in the browser at the Fuji TV site and I liked it a lot. The cherry blossom theme, Mount Fuji backdrop, food items like norimaki or onigiri, and Japan-theme costumes costumes of the birds were all lots of fun. The pigs even appear to have been influenced by Japanese architecture when building their little wooden forts.
So after going to China and Japan, where are the Angry Birds going next? It looks like space is the next frontier, coming on March 22nd if this tweet from @AngryBirds is to be trusted. And apparently Rovio has another special announcement coming in about an hour or so at 3pm GTM. I’ll try and update this post as soon as I hear about it.
Update: It looks like the announcement was Angry Birds Space after all. But they made the announcement in space, with some help from NASA!
アップデート:どうやら発表というのは結局Angry Birds Spaceについてだったようだ。しかしNASAの協力のもと、なんと宇宙からの発表だった!
「日本を襲撃」より「日本上陸」のほうがいいかもしれないです。失礼しました。
