Not sure if you’re ready to invest in a Shenis or a P-Mate? Well now you can test-drive a virtual experience, and pee on some cats at the same time, all thanks to ThinkGeek, who imported a bunch of copies of this game. ThinkGeek reports that this game for the Wii, which already has a mostly-female audience in Japan, is gaining popularity amongst the most notoriously influential consumer segment in that nation: young women. I don’t normally jump onto “Japan is Wacky” news for the heck of it, but this is both genius and totally puerile, so why not? You can duel with your friends, enjoying algorithms that create “Amazing Realistic Pee Fluid Dynamics.” It’s even useful practice for using a single-strap harness — if they had intended this game for guys, they probably would have built it in a two-strap style, am I right?
And actually, part of the reason it’s genius is because it’s PLAYING on the idea that “anything weird is believable when it comes from Japan” to get people to fall for an April Fool’s joke, as well as a dash of the hoary old “girls have penis envy” theme. I found this one really late, I know — but it’s one of the better ones I’ve run across this year and I figured it deserved linking!! I mean, they made video of a whole fake game with streams of urine, for god’s sake.
