I've been a massive fan of the Japanese game developers NanaOn-Sha for their quirky, amazing music-based games ever since they made 'Parappa The Rapper' and followed it up with myriad amazing sequels and the super-stylised, vector-line-drawn 'Vib Ribbon'. Recently their titles, save the 'Parappa' sequel, have been much more difficult to track down, with 'Rhyme Rider Kerorican' for the Wonderswan Color tragically never released in the West. So I was delighted to see another mention of the Playstation 2 'Vib Ribbon' pseudo-sequel, 'Mojibribbon', in this Gamehotel presentation held in Paris by the Ars Electronica Electrolobby organisers last month. Still no sign of the game's release, though.. and will it be unplayable by non-Japanese speakers? Grr, I need more musicgameweirdness. And whilst you're about it, release the Parappa The Rapper animated series outside Japan, too, 'powers that be' :P
