Japan's Yamagata Prefecture is Japan's biggest cherry producer. So naming a new learning institution "Sakuranbo Shougakkou" ("Cherry Elementary School") after the area's produce would make sense. That is, until you check the internet.

There is a doujin adult game brand by the same name. Put the school's name さくらんぼ小学校 in Google, and there are links to questionable illustrations of underage children right up there at the top.

The official name of the school is Higashine Municipal Cherry Elementary School, or "Higashine Shiritsu Sakuranbo Shougakkou" — a little too close for comfort for some as the adult game brand is "Shiritsu Sakuranbo Shougakkou" (note: the brand uses different kanji characters for "shiritsu").

The name was selected last year, and the school was unaware of the connection. The school did check to see if other schools carried the cherry name, but did not look online to see what results the moniker turned up.

The existence of the website, which not only features illustrations of minors but also carries adult games, was not known until the city received an anonymous email alerting the authorities of its existence.

Parents have since expressed concern upon hearing of the connection. The city's mayor has said that the school's name will not be changed. "If we change the name," the mayor said, "that will justify this adult world all the more."

Sakuranbo Shougakkou wil be open this spring at the start of the Japanese school year.

It's a shame Lee Camara isn't making any more of these replica Team Fortress 2 weapons, because I would not just buy one, I would buy 18, and enough coloured jumpsuits to go around.

As an artist, all were made on commission for various cosplayers and Team Fortress 2 fans. Such a tease, that we got to see these four, and not a sniper rifle or medi-gun.

A man named Matt has built a coffee table. It is designed to look like the Nintendo Entertainment System. It is awesome.

Here is how it compares size-wise to an actual NES. The coffee table is bigger!

This is more than an enormous Nintendo Entertainment System. It is an enormous NES with a fully functionally, jumbo NES controller.

"Opening the lid reveals the storage for the controller, or even can store remote controls and game controllers in there for easy access/storage," Matt tells Kotaku. "The controller ports are actually two power outlets so I can plug in my laptop to charge."

It is also possible to open up the back of the NES coffee table for more available storage space. Check out a video of the coffee table in action here.

If you thought the recent Street Fighter movie was bad, spare a thought for the King of Fighters movie, which is even worse.

Not that this is a bad thing. It looks so bad that it's worth a watch, if friends and booze were involved. Just...leave your feelings for King of Fighters - and Maggie Q - at the door.

These days, it's standard for video games to get downloadable content after they are released. Final Fantasy XIII is not your standard game.

Final Fantasy XIII has not gotten any downloadable content — to the chagrin of players. DLC gives a title a longer life and sometimes provides a more robust gaming experience. Downloadable content is something to look forward to.

On December 17, 2009, Final Fantasy XIII director Motomu Toriyama wrote this on the game's official website: "The world of Final Fantasy XIII is starting from here on out." He then added if players held on to their copies of the game, "good things" were possibility on the horizon.

It seemed as though Toriyama was hinting at future downloadable content for the game.

In a recent interview with a Japanese game magazine, Toriyama apparently said, "We had plans for DLC, but those plans disappeared. Apologies!"

Previously, Square Enix stated that there were enough discarded Final Fantasy XIII assets to make another game.

Kotaku is following up with Square Enix and will update if the companies comments on this issue.

Classy coffee tables are classy, but also boring. What they need is exactly what this one has: a cleverly-disguised set of professional arcade cabinet components.

The Arcane table, from Surface Tensions, looks at first glance to be a glass-topped coffee table. But there's a slide-out drawer in the side, which houses a very fetching controller setup (featuring Sanwa buttons) and even a trackball.

But where do you play? The thickened glass surface doubles as either a 19" or 26" LCD screen, on which you can play as many classic arcade games as the table's internal PC can hold.

For all this, you're looking at £3300/USD$5000, so yeah, likely not for most of you. Still, it's OK to dream!

Final Fantasy XIII, which was previously an PS3 exclusive in Japan, is coming to the country's Xbox 360 console. Square Enix boss Yoichi Wada has been catching all kinds of hell from Japanese gamers for the decision.

Square Enix and the game's staffers had been saying definitively for years that Final Fantasy XIII was only going to be released on the PS3 in Japan.

Some Japanese Twitter users have been expressing disbelief via messages sent to Wada's account, @yoichiw. Others have been far more vicious, calling him a liar, a money grubber and treacherous.

While some said they would not buy the Xbox 360 version, others have been questioning how Square Enix runs its business.

Square Enix did say over and over again that Final Fantasy XIII would only be available on the PS3 in Japan. That doesn't seem to be the case any more.

Some of those at PAX over the weekend got to see a new gameplay clip of Infamous 2. Since that likely wasn't you, here it is!

I'm not the biggest fan of Infamous - in particular the "rubbery" feel of Cole - but I do appreciate promotional clips in 2010 comprised entirely of gameplay footage.

In 2005, Nintendo published Nintendo DS game "Brain Age" in Japan, a title that claimed it could train players' brains. In 2010, Microsoft's Kinect is getting its own brain game.

Called "New Brain Training: Answer With Your Body", the game has players do things liks swat balloons in order and play Pac-Man with their hands.

The Bandai Namco title will be out on November 20 in Japan and priced at ¥6,279 (US$75).

After Brain Age became a monster hit for Nintendo five years ago, the title spawned a series of similar type brain training games.

And Kinect has a whole slew of games that remind us of things we've played before.
