Octopi sighted! Octomania officially crosses the Pacific Ocean in March

Over at Siliconera we’ve been following the release of Sharuui * Takoron since we spotted it over at EB Games back in July ’07 and Compile Heart’s first US release is almost here. Atlus will begin distributing Octomania in North America on March 11 and unlike Japan we won’t be shelling out a bucket of clams to play it. Octomania only costs $19.99, an attractive price point for a game that includes Nintendo Wi-Fi play and wacky characters like the happy blue fellow on the right.
