The best day of this month? Today. Because today, reader Torokun sent word that SNK's witch-and-boy-toucher Doki Doki Majo Shinpan has an official English site. It gives a run down of the story, the game's system and "witch suspect introduction." Here are some cut and paste site highlights:

• Story:"There is a boy; the student of the [Seirei Takagamine Junior High School] whose name is [Akuji Nishimura], is a little perverse and proud to be a bad boy."
• 
  
• Witch Check Mode: "Stare the ladies (using the icon of eye), smile to them in the appropriate timing, show them the evidences you have collected, and of course don't forget to have the normal communications such as directly touching them. Just wondering, is the directly touching is normal or not... Anyway, make full use of the icons, stylus, and your techniques to try making the heart of witches beating."
• 
  
• Search Mode and Touch Screen Event: "Use of the stylus is not restricted to examine, but it also can use for various actions such as, picking up the goods, and move the obstacles. There might have the time, you will break the lock open and rummaged about in the room. Slip into the place like classroom and changing room, check up the other's belongings to gather evidence of witches."
• 
  
• Magic Battle Mode: "This time, will explain about the Magic Battle Mode. As we gathered the evidence, hope to get to the Witch Check Mode at once. But not to mention, the witch suspect won't allow so easily let you touch...um, to check. So, sometimes necessary to resort to violence letting suspect obey our order."

An official English website certainly seems to mean one thing: SNK is interested in releasing this game outside Japan. Brian Ashcraft
