@spencer: and ofcourse whack-a-groundhog is something entirely different then whack-a-mole XD

pity that it’s mainly a minigame collection but oh well, it’s a start. let’s hope that they will translate other games one day. (and only translate, not give voice overs. I love them for keeping the japanese voice track. even though I might never play the game)

I just can’t get used to the names though. case closed sounds ridiculous, Jimmy Kudo sounds even worse.

@thaKingRocka – You’re correct whack-a-mole is copyrighted. Detective Conan has whack-a-groundhog.

is whack-a-mole copyrighted?

i was all for this game until i saw that it is a collection of mini-games. i guess it would be too much trouble to translate it if it were a proper sleuthing game. license holders have that sad tendency to produce goods with the license as the money-maker rather than the quality of the product. or am i falsely accusing the companies in this instance?

Yah, even though I love the series, this seems to just be a mini-game collection >_<

OMG, please don’t use the crappy english character names. ><…

I’d rather want Death Note and L games get localized than this.
