As you can see from the above trailer, Japan is once again set to be on the receiving end of a Nintendo DS title concocted of equal parts puppy dog noses, four-year-old girls and sunshine.
Eigo wo Taberu Fushigi na Ikimono Marsh -- a game that my inability to understand Japanese tells me is the Stay-Puft rebuttal to Nintendogs -- is the story of Maya, a coquettish twentysomething who finds her apartment newly inhabited by the eponymous Marsh, a fluffy creature that eats English words, apparently. Presumably that mechanic is designed to give the Japanese a better grasp of our language, but when there's is the only country blessed with the sort of games that make baby ducks piss themselves in glee, our culture must seem terribly macabre by comparison.
Haha, topcow's quote wins. Seriously though, I want a word-eating dog. :( It sounds like something I'd bring out at parties. Inevitably, though, would be the asshole friends who says "my dick" and the dog eats it, so he can say, "Dude, your dog ate my dick. Hahahaha..."
"Eigo wo Taberu Fushigi na Ikimono Marsh" - It means The Amazing, English-Eating, Living Things Marsh. That:s pretty literal and doesn:t make me want to know what the game play is about. Finally a year of living in Japan pays off for my growing internet stardom. Only had to look up one word, too.

baby ducks piss themselves.
"Will you let me go to sleep?"
Is it me or is this Marsh thing a depressing thing? What other things can it say:
"This world is not ready for me."
"Where do you keep the knives?"
"I am a monster."
This Mr. Stay Puft is okay.
He's a sailor, he's in New York.
We get this guy laid, we won't have any trouble.
Sad pandas all around.
Would I need wet-naps for that?
Or maybe that's just the ecstasy kicking in. Is my hand going through my arm?
