Evangelion Sound Impact trailer shows six rhythm minigames, one awful pun

We were really excited about finding out what the Grasshopper-developed Evangelion game would look like -- and what Akira Yamaoka's new soundtrack would sound like, and so we went to the newly opened official site ... only to find that the video was region-locked.
