I know the general attitude is "iOS and mobile games are the last thing we want", but I'd be all for an English release of Flick of the Dead. And I think the level of teasing from SEGA is at an appropriate level if that is the game we're getting. Now if it was a teaser website with a ton of hype, I'd be annoyed, but as is it has only been two tweets.

Someone said SPELLED, so I'm going with that.

Oh, it's not that I'm all against a mobile release, it's fine with me, but since I only have an ancient iPod Touch I'm still holding out some hope for something else. :p

The game is Typing of the Dead: Overkill. Looks like the missing word was "Spelled".

Oh, hell yes. $15-20 I'm all over it.

EDIT: Online Interaction? I guess Leaderboards only, because having multiple typists is difficult on PC. It'd be pretty sweet to have online multiplayer, though.

No.

TYPING OVERKILL?!

I can't believe you got this right on the nose, you magnificent, future-seeing son of a bitch.

Back when me and my friend were playing all the good light gun games on the Wii, we really enjoyed Overkill, but we were always more Resident Evil Chronicles guys. It was silly, over the top, and fucking high amounts of fucking swearing. I always wanted to play Typing of the Dead too, so I'm highly interested.

Watch me be right about the Mario/Sonic platforming crossover theory next. I'll want a "Resident Psychic" member tag.

The developer of this reworking is Modern Dream, a British independent studio whose only other paid release at the moment is a PC/OSX/GameStick game called The Button Affair. I wonder what talent at their studio got Sega's attention.

EDIT: Recorded livestream demonstration.

WHYYYYYY do this have to be on discount only for a few days when I have totally NO money at all? WHYYYYY!

Hell, It doesn't really surprises me at all that Sega did an Overkill version of TOTD... after all, they have been releasing versions for Japan all this time. I must admit that it's pretty awesome and a nice move to get more fans on the western side of the world. I can't wait to play it :D
