Star Radish official website

Ummm... this is MVS?

It's gotta be April Fools, and looks like another parody of Star Soldier. Kiken, you should know better! Look at the copyright date on the title screen shot!

never heard of it....the title shot on that page says 1986 tho?

is MVS even that old?

Good point.. it's cute though. They should release this as DLC.

fun stuff, 1956 was such a great year for shmups!

edit Ok it says 1986 and features a NES controller, still fun, fun fun. US-A on her shirt is quite nice. I think this one will be released in the west

USA as in usagi? (Edit: didn't notice the tail...nice)

I would definitely buy this for the Nintendo Family Computer.

I'm sure that if they actually did make a game out of this most of us would buy it. Would make a nice Virtual Console title.

It's kinda sad how April Fools' games look more interesting than real ones.

I don't even have an NG and I'd buy it just to support the cause.

Cute! I gotta love this radish idea. I should ask them if we could actually program this game for NEO GEO

So what's the Irem joke this year? That zoo last year was pretty badass.

They sure do the best game April Fools - but apart from the 'English' webpage being in Japanese - I can't spot the joke yet...

EDIT: There's some bloody odd questionnaire going on that suggests I should works as some kind of crustacean in a workshop...

Hmm, I know it's a joke, but does it remind anyone of Gun-Nac?

Yeah, of course.

Hmmm... felt a bit strange staring at that space loli, so I decided to stop.

Not Quake is undergoing a moment of discovery?

Also bottom right, the larger red katakana that is actually readable. Looks like it says "Number one ninkikonpyuuta (?) I have no idea what "ninkikon" is put they've added -puter to it

its a famicom game isn't it? Probably a micro site for a VC release...what are you guys smoking?

edit:

when I went to the site, it showed a tiny famicom'esque console in the lower left...but looking up some Jpn blog...came across this:

hahah lame joke...but I would like to play the game.

jpj · Post by **jpj** » Wed Apr 01, 2009 3:52 pm

i think it means: number 1 popular computer

Yeah, they were showing an MVS earlier. It said MVS on the right side as well, red letters. They've just swapped that in there.

This could be the best game SNK has put out since MS3

Dragon1952 · Post by **Dragon1952** » Wed Apr 01, 2009 6:27 pm

If this is an April Fool's joke, then it is an elaborate one!
I hope that this is for real and is based on the popularity of Game Center CX! Fake retro games are in!

I would BUY this now!

I am surprised that HUDSON has not done something like this already....!
