yes, it's a simulational (physical?) game machine where you punch those red things instead of slamming on buttons. also, it says "Panchi MaNIa," as in Punch Mania, not "Punch MaNUa." the article -- the longer one, linked by endquote -- says it'll go on sale in late March; it goes on to give a general overview of the manga itself, explain the objective of the game, give basic credits (voices, images, etc.), and technicalities (about the "punch pads," etc.). then the separate sections go over "product features," "how to play," and "product availability details" (something like that).
ah, the joys of having someone who's fluent in Japanese on Metafilter. :D
