Set for a Japanese release this coming January 24th under Success' budget line of games, SuperLite 2500, Joshikousei Nigeru! Shinrei Puzzle Gakuen tasks you with fighting off ghosts and escaping a haunted schoolhouse via Bejeweled-style puzzles. Think Puzzle Quest, except the fantasy and RPG elements have been replaced with creepy dead children.
Joshikousei Nigeru! will sell for 2,625 yen (approximately $23.60), which is about how much Success paid whoever decided to use that photo for its packaging art. The pictured ghoul looks less like a menacing spirit than some dude about to eat a cheeseburger. Match three jewels to save your cheeseburger from the wraith! As you can see in the gallery we've put together, there's a lot of fantastic promotional artwork for this game; why weren't any of those images used instead?

I like the literal translation, "Female high-school student, run away!"

Haha, didn't bother to translate it. I do like most budget puzzle games though. Except not puzzle quest, that glitchy pile of repetitive, overpowered boredom did not work for me at all. Picross DS though, bliss.

I really hope they port this. With Bejeweled-style games practically printing money, I think it's likely, but... I want this.
