I must say, this week's fake game is officially one of my favorites we've ever showcased. Submitted by Aoi Tsuki and goddamn brilliantly Photoshopped by our own Topher Cantler, Desu Baaru ("Death Ball") combines the fun, carefree gameplay of Katamari Damacy with the distinct charm of the Manson Family. Listen to Aoi Tsuki's idea for yourself, and then bask in the glory of Topher's fake screenshot:
It's the fun, wacky mating of Death Note -- in which a young man discovers a notebook in which you write people's name to kill them -- and Katamari Damacy, the lighthearted quirkfest that took the world by storm via rolling shit up into a big ball! You roll through various levels of square-edged hilarity, making new stars out of rapists, murderers, child molesters, and any who would dare stand in the way of their new Prince, Kira! But watch out: roll up too many innocents, or bash into L before you're big enough, and the King of All Cosmos will squash you like an overripe apple! Coming soon to an acid trip near you.
I'd definitely play it. As always, if you want to submit your own fake game idea,
hit the official thread and let us know about the game you've been dying to play which, due to technicalities and red tape, does not quite
exist yet.

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
One thing though. Why isn't this just called "death ball" rather needlessly obscuring the name romanjicising a katakana translation? It's a pet peeve of mine, people spelling the names of japanese things called english words like the japanese do in moon language. It's not fucking "ringu", it's RING. You don't call cowboy bebop "kaoboi biipopu" or trigun "toraigan" do you? 'Course not, that'd be real stupid.
That said, random japanese weirdness + faces of evil = winning combo.
Also, in case no one noticed, Aoi writes for Japanator.
