Looks like a Star Soldier type game. Hooray!

Note: that's USA as in usagi, Japanese for wabbit (wascally waifu).

Note #2: It's not for the Family Computer, but rather for something called the "Number One ninki ("most popular?" Thanks jpj!) kon-puter"

You haven't looked at the site long enough to tell one way or the other!

Besides, it has awesome Family Computer style music.

(Which I need to listen to...it's not like I posted this without thoroughly checking out the site, um)

I did. Ten hours ago.

I'm pretty sure it's a fake.

Yeah its obviously an April Fools Joke made by those guys at SNK Playmore,but then again i hope they'll bring this game on the Nintendo DS(if they can!!) cause this game looks cute and old school!!:D

For sure shump fans out there are happy about this!!

I wish Playmore put as much work into real actual games as they did with this fake one.

With that said, Star Radish would not be a whole lot stranger than Star Parodius and Cho Aniki...

Awesome. I really want to play this. It's the most creative April 1st joke I've seen this year.

You know, if SNK actually had a brain they'd go forward with this game and release it on the Wii/360/Ps3 as downloadable content.

If only.

Star Radish = Star Soldier + Gun Nac.

Also, the system for release originally shown was the MVS. Pixeljunkie of Shmups Forum found a picture in a Japanese blog:

God the music rocks and the game looks cool as hell!

I'm down for a Dreamcast release! Even if it is an April Fools joke...

Maybe if there's a huge demand or clamor for it well SNK Playmore would likely do it if they can...\\^_^/

BTW the green-haired "moe" girl with the "Usa" in her shirt in it reminds me of Exelica from the hit shump series Triggerheart Exelica...LOL

Somebody ripped the music. Please, won't you save the music for posterity?! Get it now! (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6KVU86DN)

Edit: I saved the player from the website, myself.

Reminds me of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Getsumento_Heiki_Mina and to some degree the Daicon opening animations.

Yeah she's most likely(the girl from Star Radish) was based on this anime(i've seen this one and its good!)..:evil laugh:
