jp Chou Chabudai Gaeshi 2

Chou Chabudai Gaeshi 2Taito's Chou Chabudai Gaeshi 2 uses the same concept as the first title. You're the father of a traditional Japanese family in several situations that gets on your nerves. So you smash your hands on the table to show your authority until the point where you're so upset that you drop the table upside down (physically!). The score is influenced by the number of broken objects in the process. Score calculation is done on a karaoke song with several replays of your act. The cabinet remains the same but the game will feature 7 stages (including new version of the ones seen in the original and brand new situations such as funerals, part-time job and school) and features up to 4 player simultaneous play.
