dslite!
April 17th, 2006
this is the sign that i am all too used to seeing in front of ds and dslite shelves.. sold out, wait for next shipment. therefore it was very surprising when we found a few left in the department/variety store “Tokyu Hands” in kobe. as this was my mission for the day outing to kobe, i was very happy to fulfill it in the first shop we visited.
what can i say? its a nice little machine – the screens are so bright that games look different to what they did on the original ds colour wise. i was kind of planning on getting the white version, but this store only had light/dark blue. this colour is actually a lot nicer than i thought it would be though – a very pale shade of blue (probably looks a bit different to the picture above even).
i already bought ouendan second hand last week, so i wasn’t really planning on buying any games today. then there was a change of plans when i found children of mana on sale for 2980yen ^^;. at least i had a game to play on the way home 
. children of mana is interesting – the fighting system is quite unique and doesnt get boring, the graphics are awesome and colourful. if i have one problem with the game, its the simplicity of transport between dungeons, which involves a main map where you can choose a location and instantly be transported to it. the story is also quite.. shallow? but i guess i’m not *that* far into the game yet. the dungeons are fun when it comes to replay, as you can try to beat your time in order to get higher ranks and earn item rewards.
tonight at the shops i saw that big band game second hand – is it worth buying? i never really got a chance to play it :/
hmm that big band game.. it’s harder to keep in time than ouendan!
not really worth buying imo..
damn i want a dslite
