George, you should take a look at this then:

This is only the second time I have seen this item for sale, ever.
And this was the less expensive auction (the last one was over 150,000yen)

Bazaru de Gozaru.
It's a puzzle game, similar to Lemmings, but it seems to be aimed more at 
children.
Actually, it's a good candidate for game translation (to english) - it's 
basically playable without modification, and most of the text to be 
translated is actually graphics.  Hiragana rules the day, and there isn't 
too much of it.
