We just recently learned that the strangest Japanese WiiWare one-button side-scrolling game is coming to the US. Tomena Sanner, they call it, and Konami is working on releasing it here early next year.
Today we have a new trailer that shows off some of the wacky side-scrolling that goes on here. Housewife hurdling and dinosaur sliding are the norm in this game. "Dance 'till the sun goes up, dance 'till the sun goes down," says the in-game song. Yes, dance for victory. Dance with giraffes. I need this game.
Two and four-player action are also briefly shown. This is not a game for rolling solo anyway. I'm told that it makes an excellent drinking game.

I've gotta agree with Drakengard in all except the grade. I absolutely love this game, and can't wait for them to expand upon it. That being said, the DLC so far has been ass.
