Ah, Japanese game tie-ins. They're sometimes so strange that they seem misguided and pointless. Still, they're fun to talk about.
This one ties together Marvelous Entertainment's upcoming game Rune Factor 3 and Japanese Karaoke bar chain Pasela. The pitch? A Rune Factory-themed food menu for the bar, says Andria Sang. Really, though, this special Pasela X Rune Factory 3 Collaborate Menu looks pretty good. There's pasta, pizza, drinks, and a cake, all game themed, but what looks the best (and cutest) is the Mokomoko chocolate mousse, which is designed to look just like the character's face.
Those that order off the special menu between October 27th and November 26th will receive a promotional clear file featuring art from the game.

It's got the best elements of Harvest Moon and actions RPGs, it kept me sane during the loooonnnngggg hours of darkness during the Finnish winter.
Ugh... thanks for reminding me. Fun game, but had to be muted. The latest one (only one?) on the Wii is much better, IMO. Infinitely better voice acting and I think a few of the game mechanics have been streamlined.
And who problem is dat! :P
