Localize Focalize: DS Comedy Game Gets English Page

[gamer]

DS comedy trainer Archime-DS has gotten an English page that includes not only an explanation of the game, but also a Japan sale date countdown. Wonder why they've created an English page... As previously mentioned, the game does not have any single player — it's only multi-player! Here's an explanation from the site:

Archime puts a new twist on the traditional Japanese game "Oogiri." In this game, the leader poses a question or challenge that the players try to answer within the time limit. Answers are revealed and everyone awards points to players with the best answers.
Since there are no rules or pre-defined questions, Archime-DS is an excellent tool to sharpen your wit, brush up your comedy skills and showcase your sense of humor. It's also a great way to get your creative juices flowing—use it as a group brainstorming tool for new ideas.

Don't just think of it as a comedy game, but a brainstorming game. The title comes courtesy of developer Skip of Chibi-Robo fame. Past glories aside, it looks like Skip has decided to charge folks for PictoChat Version 2.0. Hilarious. Brian Ashcraft
