Sweetness! An Eyeshield 21 game for the "Revolution"! I hope that this series really takes off in America so that we have a shot of getting this game in English. Thanks for the link, Hobbes! Rep for you! :mrgreen:

I knew you'd like it. What exactly is Eyeshield 21?

I heard about this on Gamespot. Sounds like anime Madden, or at least how the Japanese see American football. I'm pretty sure this is based on an existing manga or anime called Eyeshield 21. *checks on Answers* Yup, here it be: Eyeshield 21: Information from Answers.com

It looks almost too crazy for American audiences, but it could have a ghost of a chance. Also, another concern I have is that it doesn't look multiplayer friendly, what with all the special effects (the dodge moves and such seen in the gameplay demo).

Obviously game manufactures believe this but I don't believe it. Just look at all the effort that ROM hackers have gone through to translate games themselves. That proves that there are at least a small number of people that really want to play these "crazy" games and I bet given the chance the number would be much larger.

I think the idea started with the religious censoring that NOA did in the 80s.

I do not know any American that looked at a Japanese game and said "Whoa, that is too crazy. I could never handle that." Instead they always say "Ah man, I bet that wont come out in America."

Umm...that Answers.com article shows a picture of "Sena" that is actually a picture of Witch Hunter Robin. Other than that, the article is pretty good. All in all, it's a great series from what I've seen/read so far. The Viz manga is definitely worth picking up since the anime is not yet available in America.

On a side note, Eyeshield 21 is another one of the included series in my all-time favorite games Jump Super Stars and Jump Ultimate Stars for the Nintendo DS. :mrgreen:

I didn't say that gamers will think it's too "out there", but game distributors might. I think it looks fun, but it doesn't have much chance of coming States-side because the market for this type of game might not be big enough. After all, Madden and EA have the market for football games sewn up.

If it came out here, though, I might buy it once I have a Wii.

It might come here, but probably not.
There are a lot of anime games that probably won't come here that really should though. (Jump! Ultimate Stars, Jump! Super Stars, Death Note for DS)
