We kind of want Hudson to release their card-battling game Elemental Monster in the U.S. We have an occasional interest in card games and an ongoing interest in 2D. And, of course, we want to give Hudson a reason to release big posters of the Designers' Choice artwork made to promote the game. Preferably in blacklight-responsive ink on flocked paper, for maximum rockin'-ness. Are we kidding? You'll never know!It's a bit of a bummer to go back to looking at the (perfectly fine) in-game artwork after seeing the Frank Frazetta fanart masterclass that was the Designers' Choice, but that doesn't mean there's nothing in the actual game to care about.
It's a trading card game with 6-player local wireless play (though we don't know if each player requires a separate copy of the game) and 2-player online play. Presuming that more than two people buy this, it could be a fantastic online game. Oh, that also presumes that it isn't just an awful game.
