Attack of the Friday Monsters A Tokyo Tale – eShop (3DS CIA)

Attack of the Friday Monsters A Tokyo Tale plays on nostalgia for a time and a place that probably none of its Western players will have experienced. It’s set around the early ‘70s, before Japan’s urban sprawl replaced the entire countryside between Kansai and Tokyo with grey buildings, and it recreates that period lovingly. A stream runs through its little Tokyo suburb, Fuji no Hana, and cicadas buzz and shriek in the air; little shops and ramen bars boast hand-painted signs and radio chatter emanates from within. As a video game it’s limited and extremely short, but as a fondly-recreated artefact of that time and place, Attack of the Friday Monsters is more than a throwaway curiosity. It feels like a love letter to a lost Japanese childhood.This is the era of tokusatsu shows, where superhumans like Ultraman and the Power Rangers fight giant monsters against Japanese city backdrops. In Attack of the Friday Monsters, these “kaiju” are real – they come out on Friday nights, leaving giant footprints across the dirt roads. At least, we’re told they’re real – whether they actually are real quickly becomes the plot’s central question. Where they definitely do exist is in the imaginations of the local kids, who religiously watch their after-school TV shows and collect monster trading cards.
