Trusty Bell is on sale in Japan, and is selling like crazy. In a world of sequels, prequels and copycatting, it's so nice to see a game turn up whose elevator-pitch you just can't really imagine:
As the story in Trusty Bell goes, a few hours before Chopin died, he dreamt of a land where inhabitants suffering from a fatal disease wielded magical powers as a side effect. Chopin appears in the strange dream world where he first meets an infected girl named Polka. Together with Polka's friend Allegretto and a lad named Beat, the party ventures forth into the world to find a cure and stop the machinations of an evil Count.
Chopin! Wild.
You can't take this too seriously. After all, being the biggest title for a console that has barely sold any systems in Japan is hardly a miraculous feat.
