Wired News highlights the difference between the US and Japanese game markets by pointing out
that this is the high season for games in Japan because July's the only time that Japan's overworked schoolkids get a
full month of vacation.
So what is Japan's future playing this summer?
Dance Dance Revolution with Mario: easier than regular DDR and with more childish music. Pass! (We'd rather have our kids watch TV on Saturday mornings and cram Krispy Kremes down their insatiable gullets over here.)
Minna Daisuki Katamari: more Sisyphean Katamari adventures, this time with expanded multiplayer and more varied world environments.
Nou o Kitaeru Otona no DS Training: Wired translates this as "DS Brain Training for Adults" and we're really hoping that some version of the brain excercise genre makes it to American shores. DDR in the morning and brain training after lunch. Has Japan finally figured out how to trick everyone into leading healthy lives?
