    Half adventure game, half stock trading battles, Kabu Trader Shun hits Japanese stores later this week. Looking to promote its release, Capcom posted a Flash minigame complementing the Phoenix-Wright-styled title. Players can live out the after-hours-lounge experience of a stock trader, text messaging a needy girlfriend while trying to keep the boss' drink filled at the same time. It's a simple, fast-clicking diversion, but seeing the creative steps companies are taking to advertise their games is always interesting.We happened to also spot a lengthy trailer during our stay at Kabu Trader Shun's official site, though we can't guarantee its freshness. Clocking in at just over two-and-a-half minutes, the video introduces the game's characters, trade battles, and adventuring sequences. Head past the post break for the movie.

    Sure, there are probably dozens of adventure games floating around Japan that we'll never see, despite the fact that adventure games on the DS print extra money, but this one is special. There's nothing quite like amassing giant stacks of fake money in a game (at least, to this blogger), and the idea of an adventure game packed with cash seems like a tiny, colorful slice of heaven. We need Kabu Trader Shun. We need it now. Check out the screens, imagine the fun, and we're sure you'll agree.

    Capcom revealed they are working on a new adventure series in Kabu Trader Shun, which translates into Stock Trader Shun in English. This new series, which aims to repeat the success of Capcom's other adventure series in Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney. The game will focus on a young up-and-coming trader named Shun.With his father being a prosperous trader who earned his riches in the market, Shun is plagued by memories of the sudden bankruptcy and disappearance of his father five years ago. Entering the market, he is helped by veteran trader Tooru and one Hanako, who has a family-owned trading company.Currently, there are no plans to bring this game to the US, however we hope that changes once Justice For All releases.
