Watashi no Happy Manner Book
Nintendo DS – Published by Taito
This title is translated to “My Happy Manner Book.” As the title suggests, this “game” is targeted toward females and totes a number of situations that promote proper manners and etiquette in social contexts or while conducting business. It seems unlikely this title would reach our shores, but something that teaches people manners could definitely find a use over here.

Harukanaru Toki no Kade 3: Izayoiki (Koei the Best)
Playstation 2 – Published by Koei
Aside from a packshot, I couldn’t find any information on this title aside from the fact it is a role-playing game. This particular release is a “greatest hits” reprint of the title released in 2005.

Naruto Shippuuden: Narutimate Accel
Playstation 2 – Published by Bandai-Namco Games
This breaks in as the fourth title in the series of Narutimate games for the Playstation 2 system. This is the same series as the United State’s Ultimate Ninja, which is only in its first installment with a sequel to hit in the third quarter. Accel is based on the Shippuuden anime series that details the second series of the Naruto manga. As long as the popularity of Naruto hangs on, it should be a given this title will be released once the U.S. finally catches up to this point in the series.

Great article, but one little sidebar:
Case Closed (nee Detective Conan) never aired on Cartoon Network's Toonami block, but rather their Adult Swim block. If it was on Toonami, it'd probably still be on the air today on CN.
