I love how Ami's reaction to Yosumin went from disgust to addiction in the span of five minutes. And we all got to watch it play out in real time! :lol

oh god why are all the shapes taking up so much space, too much variety on the field not enough squares and rectangles being formed! Time running out, you bastard i need to clear one more blue!

the music is speeding up

I thought we had this discussion before on some Japanese mag thread months or years ago or something. If you want to use images from 2ch or some other Japanese website or blog, PLEASE REHOST IT YOURSELF FIRST. :/

I need Crisis Core now.

I'm wondering if Famitsu mentions how long the game is though, and whether or not it has any sidequests and that must-have feature we call a New Game+...

Yosumin is pretty cool, I have to admit. Simple, but effective. Good fit for the DS.

it starts drilling into your brain, i only played for like an hour now and i'm already seeing strategies and rectangles and shapes and hearing some wacky japanese screeching in my head.

this is a fine puzzle game, a fine puzzle game indeed. why is this the first i'm hearing of it

Wii Oboro Muramasa Youtouden <- hope the reading is correct, here's the Japanese for reference: &#26407;&#26449;&#27491;&#22934;&#20992;&#20253;
Published by MMV
Developed by Vanillaware
- ARPG using Wiimote to use sword and various attacks
- play mode can be quick/refreshing or hardcore/repeat over-and-over style
- graphically looks like Odin Sphere but with a more Japanese feel


OMG I can't wait! Odin Sphere is my favorite game of all-time!:D

Ten points to whoever guesses the reference correctly. :D

For crying out,can't you just search GAF to answer your question? It's been stated gazillion times that it will be 30 hours long without sidequest and over 100 hours with sidequest.

Yosumin is addictive.... just realised that getting 4 colours in a row removes that colour completely from the game board too.

Current score is: 1747805

I have to stop playing it now or I won't get anything else done. >_< The voice is pretty annoying, but some of the ads are funny.

Valhalla Knights 2?! HELL YES!
I'm one of the (I guess) few people that really love the first game.
I hope they expand the game in the sequel and fix some of the little issues it had, as the gameplay is simply awesome in the first one.

It has to be a "square." You can click the "e" shape to turn everything inside of its perimeter into that same shape, or you can click the corners of the "o" to make everything inside its perimeter turn THAT shape. It's all about finding square or rectangle perimeters with the various shapes, and clicking them to eliminate everything that the perimeter encompasses.

For those asking... 3 9's and an 8 isnt a bad score by any means, but Famitsu has typically been a bit easy on Square-Enix and/or FF titles. I think Crisis Core has a fairly high likelihood of being good, but this doesn't confirm it necessarily.

When you start the game click the middle Japanese text in the main menu it will have a short video showing you what to do. :D

Probably both (I think I remember sporsk posting about the musou games in the DW6 reveal thread). I fucking love me my DW, scans are awesome.

Please help me with my bad english
Holy shit, there's combos! Wiped out the whole grid of the color I did a combo with. Hehe, let's continue

about the ads,the most of them are loaded in the browser cache so it makes it less of a pain in the ass now.

isn't it so awesome

sometimes it teases you with its delicate little secrets, and then it adds another slight tiny twist but in reality it's such a massive altercation of the future strategy you must take that you're like :eek:

Every single new shape is actually horrible, horrible... because it means the board will have far more variety in shapes, which means harder to locate rectangle/square perimeters

In comparison to Crisis Core's 35... They gave DQMJ a 36, Children of Mana a 36, Crystal Chronicles a 35, FF3 a 34, Rocket Slime a 34, Chocobo a 33, Revenant Wings a 32.

So there you go. I don't think the Famitsu reviews count for much, but this should let you put it in the proper perspective, good or bad.
