This is a pic of me playing mogura tataki. What is this game called in English again? I can't remember. Mole hunting? Anyway, these arcade versions are alright, but by far the best mogura tataki game ever is on the New Super Mario Brothers cartridge for Nintendo DS Lite. It's one of the mini-games, and in addition to trying to hit as many moles as you can, you have to avoid the Luigi heads that occasionally pop up between them. Tricky!

Yup. hamtaro fan is right. The game is called "Whack-A-Mole" here in the US. You look like you're having a great time in that picture, Lisa.
