Why WiiWare is better in Japan: Shootanto:Kakohen  photo

I know if you're anything like me, you're looking at the pic above going "What the eff..." and yet, you're also feeling a bit of intrigue. Because you like strange things. I like the idea of playing a WiiWare title that doesn't bore me, which seems like it could be the case with Shootanto:Kakahen, which comes out in Japan for WiiWare tomorrow.

The game basically pits you up against prehistoric creatures such as dinosaurs -- apparently you use the light gun, but throw rocks at them. In the course of play, you evolve from a monkey to a caveman (or woman), which explains the picture above.

Odder than a barrel full of lemurs with hats? You bet. You can score this for 600 Wii points tomorrow if you live in Japan. Not the game of the year, sure, but worth a laugh over (and I admit I would download it just for fun if I was able).

Very interesting, and very strange concept indeed. I can hear the Fundamental churchy people rioting in the distance. Too bad I don't live in Japan.

Japan doesn't have LostWinds just yet so I'm pretty happy. But PAL region doesn't have World of Goo so boo~

Most likely it's still crap though. Not everything strange is also fun.

ParaParaKing -- Oh, I definitely think it'll be crap. But it beats the shit out of the crap that comes out here, you know?

Also neither World of Goo nor Lost Winds is out on Japanese WiiWare, which contradicts this whole article.

Those aren't monkeys and people didn't evolve from monkeys. Gawd ur stoopid.


I wonder if any crackpots in Japan are rallying against this game. Anti-evolutionism is more a white man problem though.

At least its a unique idea. And it's not Target Toss Pro: Bags.
