Natsume just announced that both that puzzler and <em>Cheer We Go</em> will be released in March, which is ... unfortunately, so overloaded that these games are likely to founder in even <em>deeper</em> obscurity than they would anyway.<br />
<br />
<em>Squishy Tank, </em>based on a series of Japanese Flash animations, is a color-matching game with soft, animate tank characters and adorable parody minigames. <em>Cheer We Go</em> is a rhythm-based game in which the player revitalizes a failed town, home to terrible sports teams and widespread despair, with cheerleading! The games will retail for $20 each.<br />

The company has also announced a new cheerleading game called <em>Cheer We Go</em> for the DS, as well as <em>Squishy Tank</em>, a puzzle game about little animate tanks. If it looks familiar to you, you were probably a <em>really</em> attentive DS Fanboy reader: it's a localized version of <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/06/06/success-brings-out-the-heavily-cute-artillery"><em>Yawaraka Sensha</em></a>, a licensed puzzle game released last year in Japan by Success.<br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/squishy-tank-ds/">Squishy Tank (DS)</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/squishy-tank-ds/#2040150"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/05/squishytank052804_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/squishy-tank-ds/#2040151"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/05/squishytank052801_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/squishy-tank-ds/#2040152"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/05/squishytank052802_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/squishy-tank-ds/#2040153"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/05/squishytank052803_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/squishy-tank-ds/#2643129"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2010/01/squishy-1_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/05/28/natsume-announces-new-cheery-squishy-games/">Natsume announces new cheery, squishy games</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Thu, 28 May 2009 13:40:00 EST.
