I am a frequent reader of joystiq.com and really enjoy reading about all thing related to the industry. But, of course it is in English. Does anybody know if there is a Japanese language equivalent of joystiq that provides video game news?

I would like to know as well.

The only thing I really have in mind is kotaku.jp

kotaku frequently includes links to Japanese blogs on their posts... look for the links where they got their initial information from

One of the most popular magazines in Japan for video game reviews is Famitsu, so you could check out their site.

http://www.famitsu.com/

オレ的 is my personal favorite - they're often one of the first to break news about Japanese games, and they have a great sense of humor (and 2ch Shift-JIS comics for each article!). It's where Brian Ashcraft of Kotaku jacks a good portion of his Japanese gaming news too, *cough* >_>

Famitsu is always good too, as mentioned, as is 4gamer and Dengeki.

kotaku.jp or ファミ通 are probably the best I'lld say.
ps3-fan.net is quite nice too, if you have a ps3 that is.

Nice, thanks for the links guys, didn't know about most of them =)
