Eric-Jon sent me an email with this link, saying 'you like Burger Time, right?' And that's a true statement. I like it more than a little! This Sushi Samurai thing is a little flash game in the Canadian Broadcasting uh...Corporation, or something, in their kids' section. How Eric-Jon found it is a mystery that will go down through the ages, but regardless, the game plays a lot like Burger Time (perhaps Data East's greatest triumph - if the rights weren't all still owned by a cantankerous old man, I think it'd be nice to see on Xbox Live Arcade), but it's missing one core gameplay mechanic. In the original, if you're walking across a piece of the food, and an enemy thingie is also treading upon it, if you make the food fall, the enemy falls too. That's not in this version, so don't bother trying to do it. Still fun, even if the music is a bit OOOOH, ASIA. I was going to say 'ME SO SOLLY', but decided that was probably going to far.
