It seems odd to me that they would use the word プロフェシー (purofeshii) to mean prophecy rather than the more native 予言 (yogen) or even 神託 (shintaku).

Nevertheless, loan-words aren't uncommon I suppose...

I'd also prefer Animal Crossing...

I like both, it's what's in the box that counts.

That being said, if I HAD to choose, I'd choose the EU one.

I very much enjoyed the pun.

I'd pay £250, anything above that is pushing it a little for me.

I'd be very, very happy if Shenmue were released on 3DS. Very happy.

I really should get round to completing one of the Kingdom Hearts games...

Excellent.

New Kids on the Block are active again, their new album isn't bad!

My Wii has never had any problems though I think we're on our 2nd or 3rd XBOX 360.

I remember playing this when it was released in it's Deluxe edition, I was way too young to appreciate just how good it was!

I really liked that review, I've never played any of the Phantasy Star games prior to the Dreamcast entry (haha) and this seriously makes me consider playing!

I find something about this deeply disturbing.

Pop Superstar also had vocals in the mini-games, even if the vocals were sometimes a little whiny they were still there!

The GBC games were fairly decent RPGs, at least when I played them I thought they were anyway!

Can't wait to read a review for this beauty.

Great review! I'm really enjoying this game!

Ah I'm excited about this, I loved the first game! Thankfully I'm back in the vicinity of my Wii a few days before it's released!

I'm the infamous Adam that reviewed the game, for future reference~

Nice review, I like the sound of the game but I don't think I want to part with 800 points for it! I'll wait for something else a bit more original maybe!

To those complaining I don't mention both control schemes;

"The joystick control works really quite well and it does feel like one is playing with a joystick"

"Using the Wii Remote as a NES-style controller, akin to the Virtual Console, also works well here and there are no complaints to be made about the in-game controls."

I think I made it quite clear there are two control schemes.

Oh don't worry, I'm not at all offended, in fact I'm rather more amused and indeed impressed that everyone can find so much to talk about when it comes to Bit Boy!!

@wiiloveit: Consider as in: verb [ trans. ] (often be considered)
think carefully about (something).

Thanks for your views Wiiloveit, as they were so eloquently put I'll truly consider them, also your use of Mister was very pleasing.

^ Really?

8 is a respectable score, nice review dude.

@ Arctic Friend: Indeed it does.

I already follow NL at twitter, and anyone can follow me at http://twitter.com/adamscottclark !

It's just my view, but for the asking prince 150 is a wealth of puzzles, lesser apps and games have been far more unbalanced in their set prices.

Awesome idea I like it! Though I might be a little embarrassed to walk around with the pokéball pedometer!

Would be interesting to see what they use this for though I'm a little dubious!

I love this series of games, a true classic.

Haha this is awesome!

Looks like pretty scary stuff, think I'll have to pass haha!

I'm not sure I understand Nintendo's strategy here...who wants to pay for a simple clock?

Looks like it has the potential to be pretty creepy!

It really depends on how long you make it, the story is pretty long but if you want to get perfect at the higher difficulty levels you'll be playing for a while.

I really want this actually - I'm a little obsessed with fitness games.

I actually recently bought a Gameboy Advance Micro since my DSi can't play my GBA games anymore - it only cost £20 though I wish I'd bought the SP so I could play GB/C games too!

I loved this game and in the grand scheme of things I think it most certainly deserves the score it got!

I'll just buy the Japanese version I think!

I'll wait until the game is released or we have some early views from reviewers before I decide anything, I actually really liked Phantom Hourglass and while it wasn't overly difficult and at times rather easy it was definitely a worthwhile distraction!

I think if it had been offered at a budget price it would generate an overall better reaction, it's short length is in a way one of it's stronger points - Hotel Dusk drags at times.

I bought this game with my original DS on it's release and I must say I really fell in love with it. While Hotel Dusk: Room 215 is a much lengthier and perhaps overall deeper adventure something about Another Code and it's setting, namely the mansion, made it special.

This sounds pretty awesome, hoping for a UK release!

Didn't expect to see Morning Musume on this site!

Hmm, I expected a bit more!

I think I'll most defiantly be making an effort to go, especially if Nintendo are backing it.

I went a few years ago, it was pretty interesting, the previewed The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess on gamecube if I remember correctly.
