LOOK AT THIS BOX.
1500!
1500! YEN. WACKY MONEY. According to my friend, Currency Converter, who lives on the internet, that's about $12 US. For Shogi! Yes, some legend (Tasuke?) has decided to finally do battle with D3's Simple Series games. A line of ultra budget games meant for impulse purchases. GOD DAMN THIS BLOODY PUZZLE PIRATE FLASH AD SLOWING MY BROWSER DOWN. NO I DON'T WANT TO PLAY NOW YOU HORRIBLE MAN. I mean hey, if you saw this sitting near the check outs of your favorite consumer whore food location, with a big sticker proclaiming TWELVE DOLLARS (the sticker would be bigger than the box itself), you'd buy it right? I know I would. I'd drop everything else, I'd push over my trolley of goods, I'd pick up an old person and throw them out a window. This Shogi,
it is mine!
Doesn't that look exciting? The girl sure seems to be excited. You should too!
But the fun doesn't stop there, as Tasuke plans to launch this '150,000,000 DS Spirits' range with five titles! Five! More will probably follow! Keep in mind that the Simple DS series is currently up to like volume 20. It's a battle, a battle for sure. But the Simple DS games are now trying decent attempts at point 'n' touch adventure games, side scrolling shooters and pool games that let you draw tits all over the table. Can Tasuke keep up?!
MAHJONG. LOOK AT THAT. DON'T MESS.
BLOCK BREAKER. Because the DS just doesn't have enough of these. Here's an EXCITING FACT, they released a game called Break 'Em All in America for DS, that was in fact a localized Simple DS game. Now you are THREE HUNDRED percent better off knowing this. When someone challenges you in Double Dragon now you can say "NAW IT'S CO-OP YA DICK LOL"
REVERSE, BACK UP. SMASH. CAPTAIN FALCON IS THE NEW F-ZERO QUEEN. YOU GOT A NEW MACHINE. This is also known as Othello which was so awesome on the original Game Boy, it was so awesome that people would pre-order haircuts.
CARDS MADE FROM FLOWERS. Hanafuda! Isn't that what Nintendo started on? I think Tasukeajkalakadkladl is stealing their girl.
Anyway, in this thread we discuss why American and European publishers haven't caught onto this sort of thing. Extremely simple impulse priced games MAKE SENSE on portable machines. I still see those stupid magnetic chess boards in shops, and they're like $20! People are buying these! What's wrong with them?! Digital is the future! If you want old grandpa style fun, buy a CACTUS and SIT ON IT instead. A lot of European publishers do indeed release these cheap Japaneseanpajapanease games, but they miss the point completely and charge stupid amounts of money for them. While over in America, as far as I can tell, only UFO and DSI know the score and release really cheap DS games. But DSI are horrible, and make games nobody would ever want to play in the first place.
ONIONS?!
