This is actually not joke. Koei is actually releasing Romance of the Three Kingdoms XI for PC in the States in the summer. I might actually be inclined to double-dip and buy the PC version, just for the added convenience. The PC version also apparently has better graphics than the PS2 version. You can see the PR here.

So, I finally got Patapon. There’s not much I can say about it that the video below doesn’t already explain. You tell the patapons to do certain actions by beating on your drums (in 4/4 time, usually.) Most of it just requires you to be able to keep a beat (which is a bit harder than it sounds,) although some commands require you to do a bit more work.

One thing I didn’t think of was how hard the game could be sometimes XD. Especially since it’s really easy to get slightly off beat when you’re in fever mode. Ealier in the game, being in fever mode isn’t that big of a deal. But later, messing up can really screw you over :-/ By screw you over, I really mean, you really want to get it back before you forces dwindle a lot when facing an onslaught.

In my opinion, the only annoying part of the game is some of the lack of direction they give you. For example, when they tell you that you need a certain juju in order to pass certain levels, you don’t really know exactly where that is (you can usually find them by killing certain animals.) Besides that, I would call it a nice pick-up-and-play game.

So, I finally got my order of Mana Khemia: Alchemists of Al-Revis on Wednesday of last week. I’ve hardly gotten a chance to play it, however, since I have this SSBB tourney to participate in and have various other schoolwork to do. Oh, I like how I listed them in that order >.>

Regardless, since I did get the premium box set, I decided to upload pics for you all. Please enjoy them below. Before anyone asks: yes, I totally did take these pictures on my laptop becuase I have no other empty space in my tiny dorm room. -_-;;

This is indeed would be the most awesome game ever. I’ll let the video speak for itself. You can watch it at Nico Nico Douga or see it below.

Hyped yet? Unfortunately, this is just some elaborate April Fools’ joke that some Japanese guy made. T_T
