Tell me: Are you a bad enough dude to chicky chicky down? photo

Game Watch just gave me another reason to want a Japanese DSi. This newly announced bit of DSiWare, entitled Time Diagnosis, looks like it could easily fill the WarioWare shaped hole that (in my opinion) the service currently suffers from.

My Japanese is awful, so I asked around the Dtoid offices to see what this game's all about. According to Topher, the site says that Time Diagnosis is a collection of "chicken" mini-games: see how long you can drop out of a plane before pulling your parachute, see how far you can fill a glass without it spilling over, drive as fast as you can toward a cliff and try to stop at the last possible second, etc. If you manage to pull out win time, the game gives you a percentage score to rate how chicken you are.

Also, something in the description says "chicky chicky down." Don't be surprised to hear me saying that over and over again for the next couple of years. 

So yeah, I want this game. Get on that, Western videogame publishers.

That is the most amazing thing I've seen so far this week. We all need a little more weirdass Japanese games in our lives.

Good heavens, for a minute there I thought you were referring to the Cheeky Song.

Jonathan, I just got a DSi and, unlike the Western counterparts, there are some really interesting stuff on the Japanese DSiware shop.
It's funny you should bring this game up since I've been looking all over for more info on the game on the JPN shop. Maybe I'll try it out and let you know!

^Opps! I meant I got a Japanese DSi (just to play Idolm@ster: Dearly Stars, but the JPN DSi Shop is going to keep me busy for a while).

Time Diagnosis is a mistranslation -- well, the "Time" bit is, anyway. It's called Toridama: Chikindo Chindan, which is literally something like Chicken Spirit: Chickeness Diagnosis, but perhaps Rooster Soul: How Chicken Are You? makes more sense. Or how about Cock Spirit: Show Your Pluck?

@ parsleyboots: I would buy 15 copies of Cock Spirit: Show Your Pluck, just out of principle
