I have to be honest, Ubisoft's Imagine Bowel Cancer series interests me. Not in the wow gotta play them kinda way (unless..), but how they tend to mix them up a bit. Some are developed especially for Ubisoft by the lowest of the low budget European developers, Imagine Master Chef was by a Korean developer (which rips off the look of Cooking Mama pretty well!) and others seem to simply be translated versions of existing Japanese games. So when Ubisoft announced IMAGINE FIGURE SKATER the other day with no supporting screenshots or anything, I had to dedicate a few minutes of my life to get a scoop. A SCOOP NWR.

Diving into my box art folder (1,164 jpegs don't mess), I pressed F. F for Fred, TOP DOLLAR! And yes, it turns out that Imagine Figure Skater is going to be a localized version of 2007 GOTY Figure de KiraKira Koori no Angel. Developed by Spike.
