Japanese companies have historically employed a unique nomenclature in their game products. Think Pac-Man, GameBoy and, when they tired of human references, Pokemon.

But with the "Roccaforte," they hit it spot-on.

Kotaku says the set-up is made by a Japanese company called M-S-Y and retails for $500. That's just for the desk, mind you, but game aficionados might still find this a fair price--especially if they live in Tokyo or some other place where .
