You do now :-D

I've already purchased the game and 2 drums from 'Play Asia' I beleive it will be stupidly funny and i'm getting it for xmas (a perfect time to play it with your nan etc for a laugh). I like something unique, i didn't get a chance to purchase the superb Samba DE Amigo but i have got the 'Eye Toy' and dance mat which i love. I don't beleive Nintendo will let us down on this game either, it's going to be a great laugh and one of those games that you can't take too seriously.... :)

I hope I don't have to import, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was a Japanese-only title.

Erm I certainly would be surprised if it was a Japanese only game. Not only is it a massive world wide franchise, not only do Namco dislike making Japanese exclusive titles but it's hardly a Japanese style game that wouldn't work over here now is it.

It was Dreamcast peripheral.

Well there was in industry around VR and it still was a gaming fad.

I'm sure it was a marketable product just not one that lasted very long, a fad.

Fad is something that becomes very big very quickly, makes a load of money and then people lose interest... fast.

A fishing rod prephiral is something that may have been cool in some peoples eyes but not enough to call a fad. Neither would be virtual reality or games played off the pulse.

Fad is defined as a 'short lived fashion'.

It doesn't saying anything about it having to be 'big' just short lived.

How do you define 'short' in the gaming world though?

How do you define fashion?

£40 with the bongo's isn't bad.

Still, I wouldn't want to pay much for a gimmic that only lasts one game. Besides, I can't really afford gaming nowdays.

THe last game I bought was a second hand Gauntlet. :-)
