Akaoni’s run & gun shooter is finally confirmed for a North American release.

In this interview with Siliconera, Akaoni founder Jose Manuel Iniguez talks about the game’s comical approach to blending zombies and fairytales, and its critical reception in Japan.

Akaoni’s debut game was what inspired Marvelous Entertainment to look to the west for games ripe for publishing in their home market.

Marvelous announced World Game Parade, a new label that licenses Western developed WiiWare games for Japan.
