It sure is! Looks like the most bizarre game I have seen. Seems to be more like a game show.

It also looks like there is going to be an English conversion as well.

That pic reminds me of this:

its probably just based on that wall game thing, which the uk took from japan. its quite big in japan so probably guaranteed alot of revenue, and its alot funnier than the bbc's version of it.

Japanese design very strange games for consoles.

I remember being in Tokyo in a computer games store, and loads of teens were playing a bus simulator, where you drove around the bus route and got points for stopping close to the kerb and obeying traffic lights.

Think 'Crazy Taxi' at a sedate pace!

I played that when I was in Tokyo, it was great! You have a huge wheel and everything, you have to indicate when you set off or you lose points etc

I also saw a dog walking game, complete with a dog lead controller, don't have the pic here but will post it later.

That's the one!

Also saw a lot of the trading card games, you have a screen and a large flat table and move the cards around to control what's going on. Needless to say it's completely inaccessible if you don't know Japanese, but looked interesting.
