Never heard of the game. Anyone have pics from the previous games?

I'm a HUGe Squenix fan but all I can say is: "Meh..."

It'll never be released here anyway..

The game before it was Hanjuku Hero vs. 3D- if i remember correctly (never actually played it), you, the good guys, were all 2D and the baddies were all 3D.

My roommate brought the game back from his trip to Japan and I can honestly say that this is the best packaging any game has gotten, EVER.

I enjoy these games.

I've got to play that soon. That's actually the SE package, but it was only $10 more, so I couldn't resist. And damn is it bizarre.
Anyway, the Hanjuku series is great fun, but I doubt we'll ever see it in the states. I've worked (sparingly) on a translation for the original NES game (should finish that someday) and was asking my sensei for help with a couple of lines of dialogue. She was laughing the whole time. She tells me it uses a lot of puns and a ... I forget how she put it, but essentially a pretty weird way to speak Japanese.

Edit: I forgot about Egg Monster Heroes for the DS, that had english shots, but who knows if we'll get it. Although, since this is Hanjyuku Eiyuu 4, and I haven't looked too deeply into Egg Monster Heroes, I have no idea what it could be.

Egg Monster Heroes is a separate game in the Hanjuku setting. Apparently it's more of an RPG, with town and dungeon exploration sections.
