The article teases that the game is a 3D rendered title that is a game type that has not been seen before, with character models also being rendered in 3D. Also of note, the genre has not been revealed either, suggesting that this may not be a conventional visual novel title that would normally be expected of such source material.

Apparently a Bakemonogatari game for the PSP. It uses HD textures so it looks exceedingly nice for a PSP game. It uses the same style of visuals that the anime has, and "battles" are held in the form of arguments, which can lead to scenes of physical combat. It's very interesting if you think its dialogue is interesting (like myself). Its target group is men/women in the 20~30 range. Apparently it's for a mature audience (Intelligent audience). The game seems very interesting, and it's highly recommended for those who have not watched the anime or read the novels.

It's still a mystery what this is, but I'm banking on interactive visual novel/platformer hybrid

Expecting it to be visual novel related. Though not like I care overall, not like it's coming over to the NA (or any soon if it does.)

I wonder if there's a minigame where you brush girls' teeth.

If it does, then this game is Day 1 EMS.

Wow...just...wow

It is very much like the show in that it's hard to define with words, but still looks really fun!

I am VERY intrigued by this one!

Sadly, it IS a Namco Bandai property..

It actually looks kind of good. You know, for a game based on anime that is almost entirely dialogue driven.

I still don't know how to describe it xD

I just know that it just fits the show in how it is.

From what I gathered, it kind of looks like they went the adventure game route, but tried to make it more interesting by incorporating "micro-games" (little bite-sized mini-games like in Warioware) during certain parts of the conversation.

Also, the 3D models and animation look pretty good for PSP and do a decent job of mimicking the style of the anime.

In the end, I'm sure the gameplay will still be pretty shallow but at least it will be decent fan service.

Works for me.

I wish licensing weren't such a bitch in America.
