Gachitora

Gachitora is a distinctly Japanese PSP game from spike that's best described as Kenka Bancho meets GTO. You play as a former gangster turned high school teacher who has to deal with the various problems of his students, etc. A big part of the game is getting people to open their hearts by...beating them up. Hey, it's a video game. I just played the Gachitora demo (not on the PSN yet but available here) and I thought it was quite fun. It's definitely on the light-hearted and silly side of things, but I get the impression that there will be some serious themes woven in there. Kind of like GTO.

I'm hoping this gets localized but it seems pretty iffy. Atlus did localize Kenka Bancho 3, but they're already up to number 5 in Japan with no word on further releases here. I might have to import...
