Trend: Buble Wrap Videogame

Bubble-bursting stress toy launched in game version.

Given our infatuation (and newsbreaker status) with the entire Puchiverse, we can’t quite figure out how we missed the news about a new video game based on the Mugen PuchiPuchi virtual bubblewrap toy.

Ouchi de Mugen PuchiPuchi Wii (Infinite Bubblewrap at Home Wii) is a game where you pop virtual bubblewrap onscreen with the Wiimote to the sound of music. While PuchiPuchi is supposed to relieve stress, the song on the game’s homepage may just counteract any benefits.

Not sure how we missed this one either, but here’s a demo movie from the Mugen Edamame (Endless Soybeans) we blogged about here.

Now that we can puchi on the train, at home, with friends, and at the dinner table, will there be anything left to puchi when Bandai’s self-made trend runs its course?

I’m sure they’ll think of something.
