Kairosoft have just released an all new game on the Japanese Appstore. it's called Edo Towns and it's about building an Edo period town complete with cherry blossoms and roaming samurai. really loving the whole look of this one Game Info: http://kairosoft.net/kairopark/edotowns.html iTunes link: http://itunes.apple.com/jp/app/id463998263?l=en&mt=8 YouTube: video Screenshot:
Looks great, but I don't really like the 3D top-view Kairosoft titles as much because of the emphasis on scenery placement and optimization. I'm pretty OCD about that stuff so when I realize that my set-up is really un-optimal and it's too costly to change it, it makes me feel really bad
Looks utterly fantastic and I'm not only referring to them lovely isometric graphics. Getting to play in the Edo period without having to murder scores of peasants on a battlefield sounds too refreshing to ignore.
I am exactly like you. The combo system and object placement makes me go crazy. I will stick to GDS and GPS.
Don't think that matters. Just like the rest of the Japanese releases it will come on international stores a few weeks after the release.....

Also this is awesome http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/r/Multiformat/Top+10+iPhone+charts/feature.asp?c=31130
Ikr? They used to hold off for like 4 months before releasing or even announcing a new game. Now it's like 4 DAYS before they announce a new one.
nothing to complain about though @WontonsiPodHelp, it'll come eventually. I'd say it'll probably be the next game to come to iOS while Android gets Pocket Academy and Mega Mall Story.
Yah I think so too, Pocket League Story first and then another one, which I hopefully will be that dungeon one or this
Haven't been hooked on a kairosoft game since game dev, bought the others but never got into them, I would get into this though it better be coming soon. I might even learn chingese just to play it
Why do people think this is coming out in the US simply because it came out in Japan? Don't they have a few games in the Japanese store we've never seen, like Mangaka Story, Game Dev Story II, Pocket Academy 2, etc? I hope we get all of them but they have released stuff in Japan before and not localized it.
the only games that they have on the Japanese Appstore that they've not released outside of Japan besides this new one are WaiWai The Game Dealer and the Manga Artist one. both those are old games and didn't really do as well as their more recent ones, so that could be a factor in why they haven't released English versions yet. Pocket Academy 2 is actually what we got as Pocket Academy. the first game was released years ago on mobile phones and is still Japan only. for more info you can check out the thread on the game over at Kairospot. I'll be continuing to update it with all the info, tips etc. http://kairospot.net/community/threads/edo-towns-info-guide.1017/#post-8952 Edit: You can check out my hands on preview of the game here. http://kairospot.net/community/threads/edo-towns-hands-on-preview.1030/
