A few more screens of Konami's '50's-themed wandering-around-town adventure, Houkago Shonen, reveal -- well, some more wandering around town. We don't normally go for 'poignant' stuff, but this game looks so sweet that we can't resist being charmed.One commenter last time likened the game to Shenmue, and that's fairly accurate, it would seem (forgetting about the time period for now.) This could be a Shenmue in which nobody is murdered, no giant kung fu street fights occur, and the protagonist not only cares about his friends, but seeks them out. It resembles Shenmue in its attempt to render a small Japanese town in loving detail, and explore the lives of the people in that town.
