We can't expect Elite Beat Agents quality out of every game, so we'll focus instead on the bizarre multitasking and aggressive cuteness found in Ontamarama. If anything, the circle-then-tap gameplay reminds us of the drag-and-activate mechanic found in Technic Beat, at least conceptually.

Atlus is king of niche localization.

Not feeling it. Three-fourths of the trailer consists of a series of still images of the characters--they're definitely trying to sell this one on image rather than gameplay. Sad, especially, because the image isn't that great in the first place--utterly generic chibis that would only make someone newly familiar with anime feel like they're getting something rare and exotic with this game.

Could be interesting, but seems like there's a fair bit of multitasking going on.
Could be tricky.
