Right, this might be one of the most amazing videos I’ve seen all week, and I haven’t even managed to fully translate it (I think it speaks a universal language!) and it’s now in English!

In announcing their forthcoming iPhone game Elemental Monster TD, Bomberman and Adventure Island creators Hudson show what I’m presuming is a low-poly version of company spokesman/producer Takahashi Meijin (Hudson really only have one notable chrome-domed personality) literally calling iPhone tower defense favorite Fieldrunners out by name, as he berates the hapless quivering mid-level assistant director for not coming up with something that can adequately compete.

In the end, the assistant gets inspiration where you’d least expect it, and the game is born.

Hudson don’t have much more information on the game apart from a March release date, but the adorably named arigato-ipod.com has a 10 minute presentation by producer Makoto Shibita [google translation] on Hudson’s lineup that shows a bit of that and other upcoming iPhone games.
