Dunno if this has been posted yet or not...I did a search and didn't find anything.

I can't even figure out what's going on from the "gameplay video."

Well from my understanding, Hiro-San was offended by her awesome gameplay skills. Which resulted in disgrace to the Hiro name, where he must spend eternity to wallow in shame....kanashimi no Hiro-San....* _ _

Regardless, bravo to whoever decided to release this game! I would love to see more offical releases to the Famicom.

Seems a little over-ambitious for what seems to amount to a Pong clone.

Official? What do you mean? This isn't licensed, is it? If not, it's as official as any homebrew or unlicensed game, I guess.

Well, the packaging (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jm3DSMULStI&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Egizmodo%2Ejp%2F2007%2F04%2 Fpost%5F1372%2Ehtml) is impressive, at least. I wonder how much the whole thing costs, considering that there's a box, manual, and plastic insert that has to be custom-made. It's possible the cartridge and circuit board are new, also. But the English article doesn't tell you the intentions of the homebrew author. If this is just being done for the author's own personal enjoyment, then the price wouldn't matter as much as if they would be selling it to the public.

Cool stuff :) Can't understand shit from the video what the gameplay is about tho hehe. The packing looks just like a licensed game, which is damn cool. I would buy this game if i saw it (and if the price is right of course ;)).

Only one was made, and it was a prize for a contest in japan.


I thought you guys read Kotaku???????????

Damn, I didn't know that until I saw this thread again. I was fooled! *blames rbudrick*! Anyways, that's pretty solid work on making it look like a real release.
