In Japan,

video games are called “TV games”

(terebi geemu). [[link]] Here’s a look at video games that have been turned into tabletop entertainment. Think TV games, but minus the TV. The vast majority of the games are Nintendo-related, showing the strong cultural impact Nintendo has in The Land of the Rising Sun. When kids [[link]] aren’t playing Nintendo video games, they can play Nintendo board games. The Mario Kart toy [[link]] isn’t a board

game per se, but definitely has a game-like element to it. Oh, and be sure to catch the cameo by Anpanman!
