Gaming Import Overview for April 5, 2007 - Page 5

Part of: Gaming Import Overview

Likelihood of domestic release:

Pro Yakyuu Netsu Star 2007
Playstation 2 – Published by Namco
Star is a professional baseball title based on the Japanese sport.

Likelihood of domestic release:

Rakushou! Pachi-Slot Sengen 5: Rio Paradise
Playstation 2 – Published by Tecmo
A gambling title featuring trademark Tecmo T & A that even stretches over into a poster gamers can receive by pre-ordering the game. Every promotion I found online featured mostly the game’s main character in various outfits and poses, thus, game play details are scarce in my mind.

Likelihood of domestic release:

Jikkyou Powerful Pro Yakyuu Portable 2
PSP - Published by Konami
Based off Konami’s long-running baseball franchise featuring chibi-characters without legs or arms.

Likelihood of domestic release:

Kidou Senshi Gundam Seed: Rengou vs. Z.A.F.T. Portable
PSP – Published by Bandai
Famitsu eats up yet another Gundam title that pits man inside mech in intergalactic warfare. After the rating it gave the Playstation 3 Gundam launch title, whether that means the game is bad or good is up in the air. Japan is nuts over Gundam; the U.S. – not as much. Gundam games have about a 50/50 shot of being printed in NTSC format.

Likelihood of domestic release:

Barnyard: Shuyaku wa Ore, Ushi
Nintendo Wii - Published by THQ
Based off of the animated movie and game already released in the U.S. Famitsu gave this title its lowest overall score of the week.

Likelihood of domestic release:

    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.
