Tomena Sanner Coming to America

For a long time now I've dreamed of a rhythm based platformer, where your timed button presses would allow you to run, fight, and moonwalk, all without breaking the beat. Turns out that this game already exists overseas, and, according to the ESRB, is now coming to the states under the title "Tomena Sanner".

Originally a mobile phone game and then ported to Wiiware, Tomena Sanner puts you in control of a Japanese Salaryman who has only one minute to make it to a crucial business meeting to synergize some intuitive analysis. Along the way, he'll dodge pedestrians, dance with astronauts, and even fight off the demons of Hell in order to meet his prospective client. While not a music game, each stage has it's own rhythm to follow in order to avoid the obstacles between you and your prospective client, requiring the continuous tapping of the "A" button to play.

Now, can we get Muscle March sent over here too? The U.S. Wii library is sadly deficient of shiny well-oiled men crashing through walls.

This game looks like the most awesome bastard child of Wario Ware, Paperboy, and the NES Fist of the North Star game. Plus, the avatar reminds me of Phoenix Wright. I want this.
