Matching Maker 4 Lets You... I Don't Know, Walk?

weird

I like matching

I think... I think this is a game?

I'm gonna build that big ass Tower Records and watch it go out of business in like a month!

How did i miss the first 3 of these?

You know its quality when your game hitches in its trailer

MATCHINGU MAKER 4!!!!!!
 
Oh wow that just made me realize there are three more of these. Now I think GB needs to do a retrospective on the previous titles so we can see the evolution of the game through the years and the origin of the yellow hat man.

@Jeff: how do you find out about these things?

TOWER RECORDS!

I miss Tower Records. Those indie music warehouses in L.A. are all full of douche-bags.

featuring the gas station from Persona 4

Finally, a game using the PS3 and 360 to their full potential.

Look at all those PS2-era assets...

I am in

All I got was "________ the world".

I wonder if you can make a city full of 3 story sex shops that sell pedo pillows and other tastefull wares.

I'm not sure I can buy a game from someone who can't make a trailer that doesn't have frame rate issues.

Not enough demons, school girls, demon school girls and of course horny demon school girls.

I was onboard after dude in a gold suit and top hat did gymanstics ontop of a helipad.

Can I ban reading hentai on bullet trains and watch the populace riot?

All I wish to know is why is this called Matching Maker when its just a Sim City type of game.?

Will there be women and men? Can I make them date each other?

It's machi (街) ing maker. City(ing) maker. I dunno about you, but I like citying. 

I want NOTHING to do with a man in a yellow hat.

What the fuck??? I demand further investigation (buying the game) from Giant Bomb in to this

So, this and creepy not-quite-porn games are what you have a Japanese 360 for?

Judging from 1:10 in this is a Tycoon game with an avatar for the Tycoon (aka you) which does yoga...

GOTY right there.

i think it's pretty obvious that this is a game about making matching

Actually looks like it could play well enough if your into these city sim games.

@Lebensbaum: Lot's of languages do that. It's because there's no word/words that directly translate "Match Making" from English to Japanese. I hope that helps. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Welcome to the era of yellow top hats.

I don't think I've wanted to play a ridiculous Japanese mundane simulation game this much since Tokyo Bus Driver. I'm not kidding, I really want to play this.

Matching Maker 4 theme song for soundtrack of the year.

I figured looking up Matching Maker 1 to 3 might help shed some light. Let's just say that putting those two words together in Google didn't exactly yield anything helpful.

What the.. okay... why's he on a runway... hm.... Is he doing ballet stretches on a sky scraper?... What th... Huh?!

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!?!?!

I'd buy a hardcore walking sim.

This.

The use of licensed stores is pretty cool, actually. I would like to make a city entirely out of Mos Burgers.

i don't get it. is this going to be localized or not? it's from D3 and it looks like something i could play if it was budget priced. 
 
also, what is that guy doing?!

Why is there a yellow suit dude doing stretches on top of an hospital?

No, wait, I don't wanna know.

Oh cool, so is this a PSP or 3DS game?

...PS3 and 360?! Then why does this game look as if it should've come out in 2002? Jesus, just take a look at Cities XL or the last two Anno games.

Kinda looks like metropolismania with the main character in a yellow suit thing

AN INGAME AD FOR TOWER RECORDS

Wow, I can't imagine a better metaphor for modern Japanese game development than the dying husk that is Tower Records.

MAUCHINGUU MAYKAYAAA

Looks like a strange knockoff of something like Second Life, does look a bit odd with the 'ing' in the name. You'd think they'd just go all Japanese & have a full English translation instead of half & half.

Hell yeah this looks rad.

Is there no Japanese character for the suffix "ing"? I find it weird to see a character then "ing" added to the end of it.

This has the smell of "Hot Coffee" written all over it.

the f**k?

Is this anything like Metropolismania?

http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-44-49-en-70-1byc.html Yeah it's Metropolismania 4 accept it looks as if the game hasn't really improved at all
