Even hardened Haruhi otaku have been shocked by the announcement of the latest game in the Haruhi franchise – a thrilling PSP mahjong game of “less than doujin quality,” but with a $110 price tag.
Some screenshots from the game tell all that is needed:
“Suzumiya Haruhi-chan no Mahjong” comes in two versions – the DX Pack is an astonishing ¥9429 ($110) but comes with such trinkets as a Nendoroid Puchi Haruhi-chan (a $5 trading style figure), a special box and a DVD. Pre-orders get some mahjong tile stickers.
Meanwhile, the peasant pack comes with nothing and retails for just ¥6279 ($75).
Just whether Haruhi otaku will balk at this abuse remains to be seen – unfortunately, previous evidence seems to suggest not.
artwork is garbage, lazy cunts
If this were a strip mahjong game like the Evangelion Stripping Instrumentality Project one, I’d buy it.
I initialy thought it was $110 for a haruhi themed mahjong set (of real tiles), which wouldnt have been all that outrageous.
Then I read that it was just a mahjong video game.
I realy have too much faith in the anime marketing divisions dont I?
anyone buying this s♥♥t is a tool,
why not just bend over and let the game developers sodomise you too
As long as the otaku continue to buy this stuff like the stupid sheep they are, then as far as I’m concerned they deserve to be robbed blind.
