If this IS a joke, then when will they pull the website?

Besides, this is not in the spirit of an April Fool's joke....

Okay, if this is indeed an April Fool's joke, then when should they remove the site? The joke is only effective on the first day. It has been up for sometime now and maybe there are other retro games to come all packaged in one compilation (I hope)!

Wow, if tha game is a joke and it does not get made completely, I'll be a horse's ass!

Hee Haw!

Besides, how clever is it to launch any new game pretending to be an April Fool's joke and reap huge pubicity! Is there NO justice???

Well this site is still up and I still wonder if it is actually coming to the market. Does anyone have further news about this potential game?

I'm sure they would have had a press release by now :) Maybe it got rejected in favor of the KOF star stage game :wink:

Looks like a cross between Retro Game Challenge and Doki Doki Majo Shinpan (sp?). Wonder how the heck it actually works...

There is only one 'd' in Radish

Anyway I wouldn't mind more versions of RS. CD-ROM cutscenes for all!

I guess around April 1 they hadn't decided on including the fake other versions yet because originally they showed it for the Neo Geo, then the FC (although back then they were already calling it the "nanicon" I guess.

It's just another "witch hunting" game from SNK. Basically, you gather clues through the "adventure part" of the game, and then you get to challenge the witch suspects. If you win, you enter "check mode" and check their bodies for the witch mark.

So yeah, Majo Shinpan with retro minigames.

The good news: Star Radish actually exists (as a game-within-a-game, probably a minigame).

The bad news: it's in Doki Doki Majo Shinpan Plus, which is the latest witch-touching SNK game. How much do you want Star Radish, exactly? :wink:

After watching a video at that game's own site and seeing lots and growing and bouncing breasts and using the wand to circle private areas, it might not be so cruel to have to play it anyways! Except if it requires reading and understanding a lot of kangi and Japanese text. If it is very intuitive, then I have a chance, since I made it through "Game Center CX 2" and the first one, and I know nothing of that language!

We shall see....
