Brawler?

Rock & Roll? All I've heard on Konami's site is slow piano music... (and slow slideshows).

From what I understand in this game you play as a kid living in Japan during the 1970s who, no surprise here, must compete in a variety of minigames

No idea why it says Rock & Roll Brawler, even after looking at the NFO

very nice cover, does it worth downloading over dial up?

Not a music game, or a brawler,

It looks really good. If only I can understand Japanese....

"Konami's Houkago Shounen (After-school Boy) is targeted directly at gamers' sense of nostalgia. The adventure game, set in 1975, casts the player as a young elementary student one month before he moves away, doing the best he can to have as much fun and spend as much time as possible with friends before saying goodbye."

here's a commercial

Genre fixed

Thought this was Dr Layton and the Curious Village Japanese version at first.

Guess not.

This seems like it would have a huge language barrier. Anyone confirm that?

Sorry, first time submitting and messed it up, realised I'm an idiot after I hit submit, will be more careful next time about the genre

Proffesor Layton 1 has been out in Japan since last year fightabunny..
this game looks nice

 

[test84]

it seems to have a hard Japanese skill requirement.
is it possible to play it without knowing 2012 Kanjis?

Did the OP mix up this game with another one? If so which game is a "rock & roll brawler" because that sounds awesome (as long as it's not Draglade)

The has some nice atmosphere, too bad it appears to have heavy Jap text.

 

[mightymage]

[laminaatplaat]

gfx look very good! to bad for the JP only release

 

[gbands]

been waiting for this. doubt it would have an NA release though

 

[engruzii]

well this game looks fun but too bad you need to know Japaneses to play it.

out of topic: looks like everyone is so busy with SSBB that they didn't release some DS games that was out heh

oh well one more day of waiting won't hurt
