Game Dev Story guys release The Game Dealer (in Japan) photo

Kairosoft has become a mobile darling after releasing Game Dev Story to widespread critical acclaim, and it would appear that the team won't stop there. Japanese iTunes users can now download WaiWai! The Game Dealer (name sussed out by Touch Arcade), and we're crossing our fingers for a localization. 

Game Dev Story was a cute sim about the making of games, so what do you think The Game Dealer is about? That's right, it's about selling those games to miserable, ignorant punters like you and me. Rather than run a studio, you're now a manager at a retail game store.

If it's as good as Game Dev Story, this thing will destroy our lives. I can't wait!

Godammit. Other than how easy Game Dev Story is after you get a couple of medium-level hits, it sucked my time dry. God I hope this comes out in English.

Oh man I hope this gets localized. After the success of game dev story they'd be stupid not to.

The Game Beta Tester will follow up.
Then at some point The Angry Videogame Reviewer will be released.

So after making a game about making games and making a second game about selling games maybe there'll be a third game about playing games? How self aware would that be!?!

Fuck knows how it'd work though... well done Kairosoft, really backed yourself into a corner this time.

@CyrusBlue. I think they released Game Dev Story for PC in like 1996 or something. I think it was a japanese release only though.

This is bullshit! Does this studio not realize that people have work and studying to do? I cannot afford to spend another 10 hours on my iPhone!
