Project Hacker JPN DS

Any of the JPN DS gang got this? What's it like? I'm considering picking it up, but I can't find much info on it. Would like to know if it's at least a little playable.

I was all ready to preorder it at the time it came out but apparently it's full of Japanese text and you really need an understanding of the language to play it, which is a shame.

I think Siliconera or someone similar did a translation guide and I also remember some rumours of a Western release. Not sure how likely that is now given that the game has been out in Japan for quite a while but I'm hopeful as this is something I'd really like to play (along with Stock Trader Shun or whatever it's called. It was apparently getting a US release but all has gone quiet on that front).

Hmmm, it's only gonna cost me like £12 all-in so I might give it a try. I heard it's quite like Gyakutan Saiban in how you play it. Moving around etc. If there is a translation out there I'll probably get it then.

Kabu Trader Shun is quite playable I thought. Comparable to playing a Gyakutan Saiban in Japanese anyway. You can muddle your way through without too much trouble.

I've been wanting this game for a very long time now. Sadly, it's too Japanese text heavy to be worth the effort. Without any understanging of what's going on, I doubt it'd be very enjoyable.

There's a walkthrough here mate which may prove helpful.

Thanks for that... may be worth a purchase after all..

This game needs an English translation STAT! I'd buy it in a shot. The JPN game is enjoyable enough as I can work out what is going on from the pictures and music. Nintendo's own Gyakutan Saiban, but betterer!

This game looks great. I would probably buy a DS if this got an English translation.
