Simpsons Game parodies those crazy Japanese and their wacky games

Hoping that the Japanese have a better sense of humor than their American counterparts, EA has released a trailer featuring the previously-discussed "Big Super Happy Fun Fun Land" section of The Simpsons Game, which parodies Japanese culture as well as (apparently) Japanese video games.

Pardon the parentheticals, but the only game we see spoofed in this trailer is Katamari Damacy. Yes, we see Mr. Sparkle; We see the anime-inspired cutscene; We (unfortunately) hear the high-pitched "engrish"; But where are the games? Are we missing something obvious?

Take a look for yourselves after the break, and please enlighten us.

hahaha i love mr sparkle.

Is the game like the last one at all cause i liked that one?

which are u referring to? The Simpsons Hit and Run? god that game was amazing lol

You should DL the demo, its well worth it.

The game is done like a Marvel Ultimate Alliance game, or Fantastic Four. So you have the different characters out at the same time and you use the D-Pad to switch between them and you do so when u come across places or items that need the 'power' of a different character. I think they did it really well.
