1.1 -
A photo shoot with specific missions (targets)

You have to use time of day, location, wind (scent?) to take as close as possible pictures. Think Pokemon Snap - Pokemon - Super Bright Colors.

3.2 - it's in japanese
with text and controller functions. It shouldn't be hard since the camera is like a regular dslr camera but your pretty much screwed if it comes to anything else. The game is pretty much a pokemon snap so it shouldn't be that hard. Someone will eventually translate it in screenshots.

This game might suffer from poor sales. But since they've obviously worked on it a long time and created some serious environments they should use it to create more selling title(s).

On the other hand they may do just the opposite and sell like hotcakes.

I hope this game isn't $60. I don't think it would sell very well at $60.

If you ask me I think this title could do quite well in Japan. I just think this type of game has real potential in that region. Just knowing how the Japanese are... I wouldn't be surprised if they ate this game up!

Taste? Japanese people just cannot let their cameras alone, can´t hold it without clicking it. When cameras used to run on film, Kodak just loved this guys! I remember all ads on TV in Brazil for cameras or film, there was a japanese in it! LOL

I was refering to the fact that Japanese prefer deeper and more genuine gameplay. They are not only into shooting like a lot of western gamers.

I agree. I'm really hoping it sells well in Japan so they at least are capable of bringing it over here to the states, I'd really love to play this game.

if it came to the states, i'd buy it. i love the violence in games but it doesn't have to be in a game for the game to be fun.

since the website has english and japanese. Why tease us with something we won't be able to use?

Could be attractive to casual gamers and first time buyers. Many a Soccer mom will consider this and LBP, good reasons for buy a Ps3 during the holidays for their little ones.

14 - Well We'll see what happens here in the States
According to Gamestop it should be here in December.

I just doubt the date because it wouldn't make sense to release it on New Years Eve.

They usually use this date (12/31/2008) when they've no idea when the game is out, so don't get your hopes up....
