Coming this December 19 for Japan, translate it at your own according.

Seems everyone is going to be designed around currencies, the two in the link above are based on the Yen and the Dollar.

Pretty cool to see a new IP, and I like the character designs and concept. Might not come West, but here's hoping!

Wonder who developed it?

Is this a cue to start taking pot shots at the euro?

Looks like one of the many cheap kids games RPG for DS in Japan.

I dunno I'd say it's that rather than a proper new game by an in-house dev

edit: just read that it's about real-life stars and such...yeah it's that type of game. nothin' to see here

STORM! says it's a kiddy Japanese game and that the Japanese gaming community is heavily bashing SEGA for it. I guess they aren’t happy with SEGA as of late either.

But seriously. Five bucks its in house. Why even bother.

Think it's from the Rhythm Thief team? Graphics and art give me a similar vibe.

Storm tends to exaggerate, but yes this game smells "anime tie in" all over it. And then they won't tie it with anything at all.

Reminds me of Hetalia, only with personifications of currency.

If it's good, then that's something worth looking out for, but if not...then I'll sadly pass.

This is kind of bland looking, the art style doesn't really appeal to me either. Perhaps it is because it is for a much younger audience but I think they could do much much better. Here's hoping I'm wrong with my impressions. I'd love for them to have another success with the kids like they did with MushiKing, and Dinosaur King.

I am really struggling to get with this, and it surprises me. The concept is pretty interesting at least, but I'm still not feeling it. Nothing else appeals to me I guess: the art, the characters. I don't understand the gameplay at all, so I'll wait for more information on that. I'm interested in seeing how competitive it turns out to be.
