Japan continues to be awesome with Exclamation Warriors on DS

by Scott Jon Siegel { Jul 4th 2007 at 11:15PM }

Nintendo of Japan's super-cool Club Nintendo has yet another weird/amazing DS title that North America and Europe will probably never see. First, it was the Game & Watch Collection, followed by the less desirable but still enticing Tingle's Balloon Fight. And now, the special Japan-only point-redemption system is rewarding lucky gamers with Exclamation Warriors, a bizarre DS game which exclusively utilizes the microphone for gameplay

Exclamation Warriors has players controlling spandex-suited sentai heroes (think Mighty Morphin Power Rangers). The game is multiplayer by necessity, and requires 2-3 players to fight monsters by (are you ready for this?) yelling the names of super-moves simultaneously, in typical cheesy sci-fi style.

There's a reason why this isn't a retail title, but that doesn't stop us from coveting the Club Nintendo system, and all of its weird merchandise and games. Where's our spandex, Nintendo? Where's our spandex?

After watching that video I realized that I want that game. Thanks Japan for that trip out retro vibe feeling.

I want to make something a little more creative than the typical comment complaining about the lack of games like this coming out of Japan...but I can't think of anything else to say.

Well, besides "Blue. Blue! BLUE GOD DAMNIT!"

If this game came out here it wouldn't be embraced, nintendo knows it and so do many companies. Thus it gets ignored for something more mature violence oriented.

For example games like Overlord which is a fun game with some good innovation not made in japan but still very good to see. Check the various sites and see what marks it got. One so called site, said there is a "bug" in the game that makes it just unplayable. This same site gave World of Warcraft a Game constantly plagued by bugs a 9.1.

They start sending games like that over here that does not have some sort of multiplayer death match, in a 1st person shooter aspect and it will be eaten alive and spit out.
