Nippon no Asoko de trailer takes aliens on tour

There's a new trailer for Nippon no Asoko de, a quirky-looking space alien tourism game. You apparently play as an alien tourist soaking in the sights from the land of the rising sun. In between exploring Japan from your flying saucer and scaring the living daylights out of any unsuspecting human to chance upon your flying contraption, you're cutesy little space creature takes time to do some other activities. What does he do? He seems to enjoy putting on funky costumes, playing with miniature animals, and battling with giant space-fish. All sound like fun and random things, which no doubt will draw in the Katamari crowd -- self included.

Looks like SimCity. xD but with tourism.

I had quite a bit of fun with katamari, despite the controls. How import freindly do you think it is, Mathab?

Gameplay looks simple: http://www.siliconera.com/2008/03/07/how-to-play-nippon-no-asoko-de/

But the game also looks like it's going to be heavy on text, at least in menus and historical facts about Japan. On that aspect, there might be a lot to miss out on.

While im here, if anyone is good at manga style art, me and my freind are creating a manga just for the psp, but we need one more artist. This will probably be articled on psp fanboy. The starting date for this has not really cleared up, but we expect it to be around or after the summer. It doesnt matter where you live, as long as we can contact you over the web.

To contact me, send me an email, along with a scan or two and your email address. My email address is

Thanks for answering my question. By the way, I tried playing the video again and it seems everything has shifted to the bottom right corner. Might just be me though
