SNK's fake April Fool's Day game becomes real photo

This year, in our list of April Fool's Day jokes, you may have seen SNK's Star Radish, which was a fake Neo Geo game. No one was fooled by the webpage for the salad shooter, but some said that they would love for Star Radish to be a real game. Now it is...kind of.

It turns out that this vegetable-packed retro shooter will live as a game within a game. SNK has wedged it in the next in their line of inappropriate touching DS titles, Doki Majo Plus, letting you take a quick break from stylus actions that would normally have Dateline's Chris Hansen knocking at your door. 

In our gallery below you'll see some shots of this in-game game, courtesy of Famitsu. Carrot spaceships and raddish bosses!

Sweet, I've always had a thing for a flat-chested loli without any feet.

@Nitex, Loli comes from Lolita, a book a bout a nymphette seducing an older man. Good read.

A Loli shooting down cybernetic radishes while sporting a 'U.S.A.' shirt? Best example of patriotism I've seen all year.

Looks awesome, but what are the chances that we'll actually see a localized version?
@Wintersocks: Brilliant.
