Nanashi no Game 2 turning into a creepy Retro Game Challenge

The original Nanashi no Game (The Game with No Name) — Square Enix’s survival horror DS title clearly inspired by The Ring — already had a throwback feel to it, alternating between 3D exploration segments and a cursed Dragon Quest-style RPG that the game’s protagonist needs to complete within seven days to stay alive.

Its sequel, announced in this week’s issue of Famitsu, however, takes the concept further, bringing back the 8-bit RPG (played on a “TS” system, presumably standing for Top Screen) and also introducing a platformer!:

What’s next? A haunted shoot’em up? A Spooky King racer?! Oh God, please let there be more games. Unfortunately, Square Enix has yet to announce any plans to bring even the first game to North America, so it would be a long time before we ever saw this localized.

JC and I had a funny exchange when I was trying to tell him about this Nanashi no Game follow-up. This is the original, terrible link I sent him, by the way.
