Why I Love Japan

November 7th, 2007 by Benj Edwards

Because they make game covers like this:

Why I Love Japan

Ah — nothing like a Japanese Famicom Disk System classic. Is anybody out there willing to attempt an interpretation of this game’s synopsis from this picture alone? You’re up for a serious challenge.

Heck, I’ve played it and I still don’t know what it’s about.

    It’s clearly a V For Vendetta party game!

    Justin, you beat me to it! When I saw the mask, that’s exactly what I thought of.

    I Hope that I am not the only one who thinks this looks a lot like Michael Jackson.

  4. Benj Edwards Says:

    In fact, they all look a little like Michael Jackson.

    Any fool knows that the answer is:

    男のロマンをスーパーハイスピードで駆け抜けます。
    画面からかなり離れてご覧下さい。

    Omoikkiri Tanteidan Haado Gumi – Matenrou no Chousenjou is the romanji(?) version. Except that it’s actually not translatable to English with Google or Babelfish.

    I want to say V for Vendetta meets a balloon operator meets the three ninjas

    Ah yes, I know this one. In the game “Disk System” by Ban Dai, V launches an insidious plot to bring Japan’s economy to its knees by plastering major cities with confusing credit card logos that only he can decipher. Naturally, V can only be stopped by a team of apprentice plumbers who ride around in a balloon humming the original Final Fantasy airship theme. You play as the balloon.

    Has anybody noticed that one of the kids is holding a metal detector?

  9. medarch Says:

    That’s a toilet plunger! Hence, plumbers!

    I’m totally confused by this, is it some kind of power-rangers thing, with them all wearing different colours and the guy in the background being the “bad guy”…

    Still, bloody crazy.
