Haruhi Suzumiya for Wii

Well after the success of the PS2 and PSP video games based on The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, the title is heading to the Wii in what will probably be the most successful game yet. The game will incorporate the Hare Hare Yukai dance using the Wii remote with up to three players to control Haruhi, Nagato and Mikuru. The game will also have an adventure mode with an original storyline. And as a bonus a Haruhi figurine is included with the game. What more could you ask for?

Official Lucky Star Dub Trailer

Sunday, February 10th, 2008

Bandai has released the official dub trailer for Lucky Star. The voices are alright I suppose because Lucky Star is such a difficult anime to dub, but they still don’t all fit. I was a little disappointed to hear that Wendee Lee, who also did the dub for Haruhi, is voicing Konata. She did an alright job as Haruhi and sounds ok for Konata but it just doesn’t capture the original feel. Anyways you can view the trailer below and leave comments as to what you think of it:
