Your right Henning she is cute. I hope I'm not violating any laws with my impure thoughts. I want to go to Japan just to see their tv commercials.

Henning you da man. I wish they had these commercials to download.

Did anyone order it? I still intend to, when I've got more cash.

A late December or January purchase for me. Beginning to dislike the holidays slowly eating up my game budget.

I took the leap, my copy should be here real soon from Play-Asia.
I'll post my impressions when I get the game.

Cool looking forward to those its still on my "To Buy" list.

I'm sure I read in an NCSX update a few weeks back that Kero Kero is due for a budget re-release in December.

[bowser123]

Really? A budget re-release?
Could you please make sure it's the Cube version and not the PS2 version?

Not too late to cancel my order if it's being reduced.

Taken from NCSX -

A number of Gamecube imports get the budget price re-release treatment on December 18, 2003 when One Piece Treasure Battle, Kinnikuman 2, Shaman King Soul Fight and Kero Kero King DX are repackaged and shipped at a lower price of Y3800. Viewtiful Joe Revival also ships on Dec. 18.

Although they don't seem to have it for preorder

Here's the page it comes from - http://www.ncsx.org/2003/ncs111703/ncs1117w.htm

I was going to pick this up, but I'll wait & see if this budget price materialises

[bowser123]

Fantastic, you've saved me some money.
Just in time to cancel my order too.
That price is about ?20 according to XE.com, hopefully it materialises at this price and the website don't set it higher.

Initial orders or something come with a DVD that has Kero Kero King show on it.

Playasia have now reduced the price for Kero Kero (as well as the other Bandai re-releases) - & it's the original version too, not a repackage

I came across the "best series" GC box:

That was the version I ordered with Donkey Konga, seems that play-asia have dropped the price of the original release to that of the re-release

I couldn't stand to have that nasty budget release artwork. What is it with budget jpn releases and the color yellow anyway?

I have this. I bought it on release, but didn't mention anything because a) I hadn't played it too much and b) I didn't think anyone would care.

It's great fun. The key isn't in how quickly you can get the frog in the hole, but how high your score is when it goes in. Therefore, you can keep a hole going on for ages, so long as you don't spend too long after you opponent has gone in.

The ideal scenario is to get a hole-in-one via a massive combo, but this is not easy.

Not the greatest game ever, but very funny, somewhat confusing and quite compelling, especially in multiplayer.

I played it for an hour or two yesterday, and can echo Burai's comments about this game. Its an awful lot of fun

The exploratory element of the game, wondering around the courses to find points and combos, reminded me a little of Pilotwings in a very strange but positive way.

I haven't quite figured out how the item collection works yet though, I need to put more time into this.

At its current play-asia price I don't think you can go wrong, a fun quirky jpn frog golf game that looks like it has quite a long life to it
