How seriously? Well, not as seriously as you may think, but seriously enough for me to add it to my "save items list" over at play-asia.com, at the very least.
For those of you wondering what in the hell you're looking at: It's a soon-to-be-released Japanese 3DS game called Neratte! Tobashite! Rilakkuma Guragura Sweets Tower. (That's Aim! Hurl! Rilakkuma's Shaky Sweets Tower, for everyone who's like me and doesn't know a lick of Japanese.)
Oh, and it'll hit the streets in Japan on Dec. 13 carrying a price tag of ¥5,040 (about $63).
I'm sure at least a few of you are thinking, "That doesn't sound too crazy to me"--especially since I've hardly been shy about expressing my penchant for adorable games. Would you feel the same way, though, if you knew that Neratte! Tobashite! Rilakkuma Guragura Sweets Tower was little more than a cuter-than-it-has-any-right-to-be Angry Birds clone (a fact that is made painfully evident in the video below)?
That last bit is what's keeping me from considering Neratte! Tobashite! Rilakkuma Guragura Sweets Tower too seriously at the moment.
Should I find a copy of this pixelated confection selling for, say, $20 on eBay in the near or distant future, though, I can't promise I'll be able to keep myself from adding it to my collection.

Man alive, we saw so much of that bear at the Asian mall, he's a cutie alright
Hey there, Robert! Thanks for the comment :) As for Rilakkuma being a cutie: I agree. I haven't seen much of him until recently, although I guess I'm not exactly his target audience...
If only I'd a 3DS! (T n T)
I tried to get Retr0gamer to play Asonde Rilakkuma on the NDS but I ended up taking over and getting stuck in the same place, I should really look that up. It's like Wario Ware but with Rilakkuma I guess
Welcome, Triseratops :) Asonde Rilakkuma sounds adorable! I'll have to look it up. It's like Wario Ware, you say? Now I'm even more interested. Anyway, hope you get a 3DS -- and a copy of this game -- soon!
I really looooove Rilakkuma! But i'm not a fan of Angry Birds' "gameplay" and that's why I would never (even if the cuteness is alluring) buy such a game. Also I hate spending good money on games which are more a "mini game" for a smartphone. That's why I still haven't bought Puzzle Bobble Universe (3DS). I really want that game, but I already know that it'll get boring way to fast. That's what happened to me with Puyo Pop Fever (PSP and DS). I only played it once and then never touched it again... I think it wasn't worth the money and I'm pretty sure that's what I would think at some point if I would buy this game or Puzzle Bobble...
Oh, I agree with you, Melody. I actually like Angry Birds' gameplay well enough, but even then I wouldn't spend $50+ on this game. I kind of doubt I'll ever see it on sale for $20, but if I do ... well, things might be different.
As for Puzzle Bobble Universe: I don't get why you want it but you're sure to be bored by it. Do you just like the series or something?
I just love those bubble shooter-games. And the little dinosaurs are pretty cute too.
Ah, OK. BTW, do you want me to call you Lizzi or Melody? I thought you preferred Melody, but I see that your Disqus username is Lizzi...
Yes, that's because my real name is "Lizzi". Disqus took it from Twitter... But you can choose. I don't care. :)
But didn't I call you Melody before? That's what sticks in my head at least. Well, if you honestly don't care I'll continue to call you Melody for now, but I'd really like to call you whichever name you prefer :)
