Badman Invades Japan's PlayStation Home

Acquire's Yuusha no Kuse Ni Namaikida (which is coming to the States as Holy Invasion Of Privacy, Badman! What Did I Do To Deserve This? -- yes, it's an odd title, but I've already gone over that!) has jumped from its stomping grounds on the PSP to PlayStation Home in Japan, in the form of an arcade game that enables players to win avatar t-shirts.
The game's twist makes the series seem a lot more normal, as you take on the role of a hero fighting the game's Devil King in an 8-bit Dragon Quest-style turn-based RPG battle, the same villain who you protect in the PSP game by building maze-like dungeons packed with monsters to exterminate incoming heroes.
Gaming weblog Siliconera tried out the Japanese PlayStation Home promotion and posted details on its unique combat system:
"You vanquish the Demon King by choosing commands as if you were playing Dragon Quest. The twist is after you pick fight, skill or item another menu pops up asking which weapon you want to use. Choices like Excalibur, Copper Sword, and Wood Bat come up. Then another menu pops up asking how you want to hit the Devil King. Should you throw the sword or slash? Then a menu comes up asking where you should hit him.The menus keep coming and you only deal damage if you select the right branching tree. To keep players on their toes the options switch position every round."
NIS America is scheduled to ship Holy Invasion Of Privacy, Badman! in the U.S. in July 2009. Hopefully, the publisher will consider localizing this Home game to accompany the PSP title's release.
