Latest Zenkoku Dekotora Matsuri shots bring out our inner trucker

As a one-time fan of Sega's 18 Wheeler: American Pro Trucker on the Dreamcast, it saddens this writer that Zenkoku Dekotora Matsuri is such an unlikely candidate for localization. Jaleco's first Wii game allows players to pimp giant trucks with various lights, symbols and insignia (the literal translation of "Dekotora" is "Decoration Truck"), before taking them on the road. Even in Japan, this is considered to be a slightly obscure sub-culture, meaning these new Dekotora screens are probably as close as we'll get to haring around the highways of Osaka in a 60-foot articulated juggernaut, sporting badly-drawn lightning bolts on our ride.
Strap in tight and hurtle past the break for more shots.
