Anyway, the folks at Atlus announced a Japanese release date--June 17--for the third game in their Trauma Center series--known as Hospital in the East and Trauma Team elsewhere--yesterday. They also unveiled the art (below, left) that will grace the cover of the Japanese version of the game. (The box art and release date--May 18--for the North American version were announced some time ago.)

Which do I prefer? I'm going to go with the North American art (above, right) this time around. I like the vibrancy of the Japanese cover, but it just doesn't scream "hospital" or "surgery" to me.
