Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan! Coming to the UK, Hopefully US.

Nintendo DS import favorite Ouendan [Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan] will be getting a Euro release. A Nintendo of Europe team member slipped word to game journos that the game will be heading to the UK sometime in the future. No word on a U.S. release, but it should be in the cards.

The rhythm game follows a troupe of cheerleader like helper dudes that go around encouraging people who are stuck in difficult situations. <snip ego booster>

Edit: Here's a video of the game in action. Press the red button near the bottom with the japanese text and arrow.

I think the reincarnated Japanated soul of Tony Robbins just took a large shit in my cranial cavity while I watched that video.

Holy CRAP that is great news! I hope they keep the JPop crap tunes and don't replace them with western pop crap tunes!

Lum says that as a joke. I say it seriously. I picked up the soundtrack. It's good stuff.
