They now have the direction of video games magazines and publishing imprints like: 'Dengeki Bunko', 'Nintendo Dreams', 'Dengeki Playstation', 'Dengeki G's Magazine'.

The title of this game translates from Japanese as 'Monkey Crab Hamster Elephant - Block Breaking Competition' ('Block Kuzushi'/'Block Breaking' is the Japanese name for 'Breakout'.)
