Mr. Sakuma spells his dayly everyday life in the diary on the net, and also interacts with users in that. In the diary for August 17th, I received a question from a person who bought PS3 and told the situation of the latest work by Momomi.

This is the voice from the user that Sakuma picked up.

Recently, I purchased PS3 and torne as a terrestrial digital countermeasure.
I thought that I wanted to do peach iron in PS3 after graduating from Sofami soon, I searched for it but the PS3 version is not on sale.
PS 3 had an image of gamer 's game machine, but there seems to be quite a few people who bought PS 3 because it is a measure to digitize digital terrestrial digital broadcasting (story of a shop clerk at a certain home electronics store)
Is not it being penetrated into the general level?

Five of my friends have one, one of them said, "I bought it, but I do not have any software to do, I feel like somewhat added TV and BD player."
Even if looking at software, it certainly has little software that everyone can do with PS3, so I think there is demand for PS3 edition if you release it.
Although it may be difficult to release the Japanese version in the recent earthquake, I would like to purchase it by all means in the Eurasian continent version.

To this opinion, Mr. Sakuma answered as follows. (Original Mom)

It is already rattling inside of Hudson anymore, I do not know at all what who has the right to decide.
Darling is saying selfish things.
That's why 'peach iron' has been neglected and it is about to be six months.
Maybe it is going to trace destiny to disappear if it is as it is.
If so, sorry!
I wanted to make only the East Japan Revival edition ...

For the moment, Momomoto released last was released software for Nintendo DS in December 2010Momotaro Dentetsu WORLD". For stationary hardware, it will be released as a software for Wii in November 2009 "Momotaro Dentetsu 2010 Sengoku · Ishin no hero Daigaku! Volume"Is the last.

Mr. Sakuma was developing "Momotaro Electric Rail 2012 (Tentative)" aiming for the release within 2011, but in response to the Great East Japan Great Earthquake that occurred on March 11, "It is too sad that there are no properties in the disaster area , It is strange that the property appeared dignitely, "development was stopped. Instead, it was reported on August 12th that it was the role playing the role of communicating its vitality when it revived, that it is conceived as "East Japan Reconstruction Edition".
