The heat was intense. The distance far. David Yarnton, Nintendo UK's honcho, collapsed during a charity bike ride in Greece, and English cricket star, Andrew "Freddie" Flintoff, discovered the Nintendo exec in the road. He needed to act fast.

Yarnton was unconscious, and Flintoff, who was also participating in the cycling event, performed emergency first aid. According to The Mirror, Flintoff stayed with Yarnton until the ambulance arrived and took the 53 year-old to the hospital.

"Freddie did a great job. He knew exactly what to do when he realized David was in trouble," said a friend. "It was a hot day and the conditions got too much for him.

"David was out cold and in a bad way. It's no exaggeration to say that Freddie probably saved his life."

Both men were participating in the first stage of the Cycle Slam 2012 bike ride, which starts in Greece and ends in London. As website Eurogamer pointed out, Yarnton signed up for the first 100-mile stage and the fifth stage.

"David had a bit of a scare but is doing well and is planning on flying home in the next couple of days," Nintendo UK told Eurogamer. "He is extremely grateful to Freddie and the rest of the Cycle Slam team for their help and support."

Kotaku wishes Yarnton a speedy recovery.

Persona 4: The Golden is getting a Western localization—that we know. But, as Japanese websites have pointed out, it *might* be getting a PS3 version and an Xbox 360 version as well as a Kinect version.

Persona 4: The Golden was released on the PS Vita. Since the Western version's website also has a PS Vita logo, it's logical to assume that it's just getting a Vita release. But read the fine print:

"PlayStation" and the "PS" Family logo are registered trademarks and "PS3" and the PlayStation logo are trademarks of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. KINECT, XBox, Xbox 360, Xbox Live, and the Xbox logos are trademarks of the Microsoft group of companies and are used under license from Microsoft.

Wait, what? Persona 4: The Golden is coming to the PS3 and the Xbox 360? With Kinect motion controls? Bwah...

Kotaku has reached out to Atlus, the game's developer, for clarification (this could be a copy-paste error) and will update this post should the company comment.

Futsuno Fantasy might look like Final Fantasy—or maybe Dragon Quest.

The game's initials, FF, echo Final Fantasy's. There are Chocobo-like characters called "Choko" and even Dragon Quest Slime characters called "Slimy" ("Metal Slimy", too!). And the in-game sprite maps reek of DQ.

But make no mistake. Futsuno Fantasy is not Final Fantasy—nor is it Dragon Quest. It's a visual novel aimed directly at adults, and the game has the X-rated event scenes to prove it!

The PC game goes on sale this spring (May 25, to be exact). Check out screens from the Futsuno Fantasy's demo in the above gallery.

Like this! Above is a sample of the game's Korean voice track compared with the English voice track.

While some non-Korean speakers seem to think this voice track is pretty groovy (even saying they'd prefer it over the English track), many Korean speakers aren't exactly thrilled.

Case in point? At around the 2:17 to 2:20 mark, the woman's Korean is a little "too cutesy" for some players.

Just because cable cars offer wonderful nature views, doesn't mean they should offer views of folks getting down au naturel.

The cable car service in China's Yaoshan mountain is supposedly safe, but bumping and grinding might cause the cable car to start-a-rockin'. That seems far less safe.

It's not just shaking cable cars that led to the sign. The cable cars pass each other on their way up and down, and after a couple was filmed having intercourse in one, a sign was erected where visitors board the cable cars to prohibit them from erecting other things in the cable cars.

Crane games typically offer stuffed animals, not real animals for prizes. This crane game, however, looks to be anything but typical.

Spotted by author and game localizer Matt Alt, this UFO Catcher is stocked with fugu (poison blowfish) and axolotl salamanders. According to Alt, "they're almost impossible to win" due to the weak claw arm and heavy water-filled tanks.

Don't fret too much, animal lovers. The arcade had an explanation regarding how it was keeping the critters healthy and alive.

Japan does not have a shortage of video game inspired porn parodies. In the past few years, dirty moviemaker TMA has specialized in skin flick takes on popular games, anime, and manga. One parody, however, will vanish from its line-up.

Layers;Gate is a blue movie version of Steins;Gate, a visual novel originally created for the Xbox 360. And the porn parody version is a little too much like the original for the tastes of the game's creators.

Portions of the flick apparently violate copyright law, and the flick is therefore going out of production. TMA cancelled upcoming shipments and apologized for any trouble that Layers;Gate might have caused.

The opening of Layers;Gate is mimics the opening of the Steins;Gate anime. Watch the clip and see for yourself.
