I can’t seem to get many of my friends excited about a video game unless it stars a hot furry. Which means many of them haven’t played a fighting game since Brutal: Paws of Fury. It seems Nintendo has solved my problem with their newest DSiWare game that launched in Japan last week: Photo Fighter X. What’s cooler than furries in video games? Furries you know personally in video games.

Photo Fighter X is a simple concept. Using the built in cameras on the DSi, the game let’s you take pictures of your friends and family to create the cast of a simple, but hilarious fighting game.

It’s silly, and stupid, but it’s also really funny. The gameplay is shallow, and there are only two modes, but the real fun is just putting everyone into the game, picking their special moves, and then fighting an army of them.

Clearly the best use for this game is to make a fursuiting fighting game and use it to solve any “Jets vs Sharks” turf wars that pop up, or whatever it is that fursuiters fight over.

And the best part? This game will cost you a measly $2. It only just came out in Japan, and there is no official release date for the US, but it will take next to no work to localize, so I expect it soon.
