Rumble Roses Goes Pop

rumble.jpg We've previously discussed Konami's habit of inserting its Rumble Roses wrestling glamor girls into other Japanese video game titles, such as Metal Gear Ac!d 2.

Well, Rid over at Majoria's News has spotted another Rumble Roses crossover, this time with cute Bemani rhythm game Pop 'N Music 13, which is special guest featuring female wrestler Reiko Hinomoto of Rumble Roses fame.

The Japan-only Pop 'N Music series, though it's sometimes hilariously difficult, is arguably the female and kid-friendly version of the Bemani series, which also includes the excellent Beatmania and Dance Dance Revolution games. Therefore, it's interesting that such a sexed-up character would get cartoonized for it - still, ours not to reason why?
