We may not like the news team at IGN, but goddammit we respect them. Actually, we also really like them too, because they’re all swell guys – and this new initiative confirms it. This Friday from 9am until 9am Saturday March 19 (AEST), IGN Australia are playing 24 Japanese games in 24 hours in order to raise funds for those suffering at the hands of one of the biggest natural disasters in recent history. You can donate here.
Nintendo’s Japanese headquarters are in Kyoto, some 300 miles from the devastation of yesterday’s tsunami. Still, many have asked if the 8.9 magnitude earthquake caused any damage. Nintendo tweets: “Thanks for your concern! During the earthquake no one at Nintendo in Japan was injured and there was no apparent structural damage.”
