Only in Japan


Attack of the 50-foot ANIME Woman.

Can you believe there's actually a Yoshinoya videogame? YEP! There is. Apparently, this popular Japanese beef bowl restaurant became the subject of a game where you take the role of a Yoshinoya branch manager. Dubbed a 'Food Service Action Sim', gameplay in the Yoshinoya game includes managing the proper mix of ingredients that go into every bowl, and your clientele includes various quirky customers like grouchy old Japanese men, lovely ladies and pesky young 'uns. Hmmm. Makes me hungry just thinking about it.

Another funny game that probably will never see light outside of Nippon is The Daibijin (or 'Giant Beautiful Woman'). Apparently the game is about how a 17-year old Japanese girl is zapped by an alien and starts growing to gigantic proportions. Now, the bikini-clad giantess is rampaging across Japan, and YOU have to stop her, using tanks, jets and other munitions. However, it certainly would not be proper to blast a cute young lady (no matter how gigantic) with bullets and bombs, so instead you'll use special weapons that generate rocking music, or materialize huge pieces of cake before her... I am not making this up... Soon however, you'll have to find a way to reverse the growth and defeat the evil alien responsible for this crisis.

Of course, this game is produced by publisher D3, which is famous for the infamous (but quite prolific) "Simple Series" of games, all of which star scantily-clad anime girls.
You can see a trailer (you know you want it) of this surreal game at the publisher's website here.
