Japan is often known for its wide variety of weird stuff, and a new smartphone game from the country is certainly something one would find a bit out of the ordinary, and it is called Ojimon, which is short for Ojisan Monster

Michael Crisman writes, "Its no news to say Japan gets tons of stuff the rest of the world does not, but at least they throw non-Asian gamers a bone every now and then. Usually this is in the form of a simple port, where all the text is translated and (hopefully) localized for the target market. This localization process often leads to things being dropped, changes for censorship purposes, and other minor details. While interesting as trivia, youre not losing much of anything if there arent any crosses in the backgrounds of Castlevania or the Goddess sprite from Final Fantasy VI is a bit less naked. These changes dont affect your ability to play the game in the slightest. Instead were looking at times exported versions left something substantial out of the mixsomething integral to how much you can enjoy the final product. These are our favorite examples, but feel free to chime in with your own in the comments!"

The Jimquisition: As an admirer of the Warriors series, Im regularly frustrated that Tecmo Koeis repeated attempts to bring its hack n slash series to handheld systems always come with a gimmick. Between Dynasty Warriors Nexts intrusive touchscreen implementation and the restrictive small-scale nature of the PSP titles, rare is the opportunity for some simple slice em up action in my pocket. There have been some good ports of select console titles, but I want an original, simple, Warriors game for my portable needs.
