@SalvorHardin I didn't realize these existed! Fascinating—I learned something today. So does this mean that when the battery is drained you can't actually remove them? Or is the release switch mechanical?
My 3DS touch screen actually has a little circle carved into it from rubbing the stylus on the horse power icon so much. This game may be the most addictive game ever, and I don’t even want to know how many hours I dropped into it. I’m quite surprised how well it works with a controller, but I worry about my future now that it’s back in my life on the big screen.
It is definitely not Mario, but to be fair it’s a pretty accurate Italian accent (source: I’m married to an Italian and have lived in Italy for over a decade).
@nessisonett Hard agree! I was actually quite curious what NL’s take on the Polygon review would be, and my answer is as disappointing as the game apparently was for Maddy Myers (and I’m sure I’ll feel the same, because I very much agree with her perspective on the character).
It’s Matsuken! As mentioned in previous comments, he’s a famous samurai tv and stage actor but also had a huge hit with “Matsuken Samba” in 2005. He even played stadium shows that were essentially that one song over and over (I know because I went—I was a bit obsessed myself). It’s crazy that this is back 17 years later (as “Matsuken Sunbreak”), but Japan loves its nostalgia!
As a massive admirer of the film, I’m skeptical that this can come close to delivering a similar experience (the music is already so wrong). I wonder how they’re able to use the title and Alfred Hitchcock’s name if it’s a modern, original story.
I kind of wish I could turn off the Bunny Day events. These eggs are driving me up the wall, pretending to be my fish, taking up all my inventory slots. April 12 can’t come soon enough.
Just an FYI: if you didn’t already connect your game to PGL before the announcement of the Munna distribution, you can’t get it. I realized today when I connected UM to PGL for the first time (luckily I also have Sun and got it through that).
