It has recently been brought to our attention that a shipment of Pink Godzilla Dev Kits contained only the Japanese instruction manuals. Our bad. For some reason we thought everyone in America reads Japanese. What were we thinking? For anyone who'd actually like to know how to play the game they just bought, please send an email to orders@pinkgodzillagames.com, and we'll be sure to send you a copy of the English instruction manual. We'll also be posting a downloadable PDF of the instructions at www.pgdevkit.com soon. In the meantime, you can check out the How To Play section of the Dev Kit site.
Or you can simply start teaching yourself Japanese. As if Dev Kit wasn't enough, here's even more incentive to learn Japanese.
