Gurumin is a super-happy-time-fun Japanese RPG that's coming over to the States this February. It comes from Falcom, developers of Ys (which was eventually ported to the PSP, with absolutely terrifying load times). As seen in the video above, the game appears to have some pretty solid, if not terrifying, big-eyed chibi gameplay. If waiting for 2007 doesn't suit you, then you might be interested to know that Gurumin is $10 at Play-Asia for this week only. Not only will this save you a great deal of time, and money, but it'll force you to improve your Japanese skills. And isn't that far more valuable than simply getting a good deal on a game?
Another video, after the cut.

Just so everyone knows, there are a number of places in this game where someone who doesn't read Japanese will get permanently stuck (at least without the use of a FAQ). The English version will be coming out in early 2007.

It's their thing, dude.
Unfortunately, this news is irrelevant (or perhaps even aggravating) to the European gamers, because Play Asia refuses to ship PSP-related goods to the European Union. Thank you, Sony.

This is funny. It's like saying 'I wonder if the American ever NOT use English as their native language.'
