Looks fun. As long as it's not too expensive. I'm sure this wass out in in Japan about a year ago actually, but I can't remember the title. Anyone?

What a tease! I saw the Taiko shot before I read the news post, and it was a huge letdown to hear that this is a "where's Waldo" type of game.

Come on, Namco! Give us Katamari and Taiko and Klonoa on the DS, not a sad reminder of their absence!!

I played a friends imported (and obviously un-localised) version of this game a while back. I have to admit I was surprised how compelling spot the difference can become.
They tie in your reaction time to your score, which really piles on the tension when you know there is one difference left but you just can't spot it. Other modes include spotted differences between animated screens. I believe there was even a battle mode.
It also wonderfully plunders Taiko/Namco intellectual property along the way. Many a retro memory was jogged in my short session. And the whole package is nicely understated.
One to look out for. No really!

Meant to say the version I played was called Machigai Museum.

Please don't support this drivel.

I'd be interested in this if it were a budget title. These things are fun when you need to kill time.

This could actually be good if they put some real programming into it. All they need is a library of items and they can then use some random generators to either put a few extra items in and/or leave a few items out of each picture. Sadly, they'll probably only have one 'solution' per picture. Oh well.

What the shit, Namco. First that other crap DS game, now this? Where the hell is Tales of the goddamn Tempest already?! Kids can find this garbage in the Sunday paper without paying $34.99, give us a real game!

I suck at spot the difference games so I will definitely look for this one.

When they do release it, I hope they put a sensible price tag on it. Even though I enjoyed it for an evening's play, I think I'd only pay 20 GBP for it, but not alot more.

Do not take this game at face value, its easily one of the most addicting and fun DS games around. I've been playing the import version since the start of the year. Definitely worth checking out especially if you are a big fan of Namco and the "Find the differences" puzzles in newspapers.

Give it a chance... I'm thrilled to see its getting a US release.

This game seems like it could be really addicting. Who doesn't like to find differneces in pictures? Also, it looks like Namco is doing some fanboys some service with those screens from past games.
