Back in April, I was standing in a Miami beach-front hotel talking to people from Capcom, the games publisher that invited people like me to check out their new games. (We paid our own way, if you care). I joked that they could up the ante and do their event in Dubai next year. Too expensive, they laughed.
Not too expensive for Capcomâs sometimes-rival Namco, I guess.
Namcoâs been holding an event in the worldâs most luxurious city this week. Weâre not there, though weâre catching the news thatâs been trickling out.

The main accommodations are the Madinat Jumeirah resort. One could say that the place is impressive.
I was hoping that games reporters who went out there had captured some of the local flavor, but so far, the best Iâve found is an upside-down video of a nice hotel room.
