We're well aware that the gaming press couldn't care less about Hissatsu Kung Fu: Kanji Dragon; interest for a kanji-training beat 'em up is niche at best, and to be honest, this whole kung fu theatre advertising push is a bit silly. But are we going to let that stop us from inundating you with every single scrap of Kanji Dragon news that we come across? Of course not!Success Corp. will be celebrating the educational brawler's June 7th release with a special event this Sunday at Akihabara's Sofmap amusement complex. Attendees will be able to play the game and will even receive a limited edition T-shirt if they pre-order a copy. The title's fumbling mascot will also be making an appearance, handing out Kanji Dragon Director's Cut DVDs. Make sure to check past the post break for a larger version of the disc's explosive cover.
To say we're disheartened by the fact that we won't be able to attend is an understatement. We wept bitter tears as we read the press release's jumbled Google translation, yelling out in grief when we learned that we'd miss out on free souvenirs. Rod Stewart poignantly sang "So Far Away" as a montage of us drowning our sorrows with too many drinks and loose women played right before fading to black.
So far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore?
It will be so fine to see your face at my door
And it doesn't help to know that you're just time away
Long ago, I reached for you, and there you stood
Holding you again could only do me good
Oh, how I wish I could
But you're so far away

Kung fu theatre advertising is silly?! Segata Sanshiro wouldn't agree.

Thanks for passing on the news about the Akihabara event here! The more people who know, the better! I can't wait til Kanji Dragon comes out! Good thing we don't have too much longer to wait!
