So, I got a Japanese New Nintendo 3DS (and Yokai Watch 2 First Impressions)

As you know, I own the original Nintendo 3DS, which I bought several months after it came out in the states. I have to admit that there were not many games that I was interested in besides a few first party games. Since the Nintendo 3DS is region locked, a policy that I complained about, I couldn’t import any Japanese games, even if there are some that I am interested in.

Last year, Nintendo has announced a new Nintendo 3DS, which is an evolutionary upgrade of the highly successful 3DS. Since I play mostly Japanese language games nowadays, I decided to go for a Japanese model this time. With that, it’s time to share my overall impressions on the new 3DS along with my short first impressions of Youkai Watch 2.

Atelier Shallie – Alchemists of the Twilight Sea – Final Review

May 7, 2015 by Chikorita157 Leave a Comment

Artist: kanoko

Since the start of the Dusk/Twilight trilogy, Gust has experimented with gameplay elements while having a somewhat darker story with the Earth in decline. In the last game, Escha and Logy allowed all 6 members (three active) to participate in battle while improving the alchemy gameplay by allowing you to choose the traits again. Also, you can see what tasks you need to get done along with what rewards you will get if you get a line up. Of course, the biggest addition is that there are now two protagonists you can play as, which has not been in the game since Mana Khemia 2.

The third and possibly last entry in the Dusk/Twilight trilogy is Atelier Shallie, which of course not only have dual protagonists (both female), but it also bring backs some game mechanics from Mana Khemia 2 such as getting rid of the time limit, variable strike and the burst gauge while introducing some new features and improvements. Since I have beaten the game at least once, its time to share my thoughts.

It has been a few years since I shared my thoughts on my favorite idols from The Idolmaster. Of course, a lot of things have changed since then. Bandai Namco eventually came up with Cinderella Girls (which is receiving an Anime adaptation) and Million Live. Of course, other idol shows have popped up as well such as AKB0048, Aikatsu, Love Live School Idol Project and Wake Up Girls.

I guess some people might be curious on which one I prefer and what are my favorite idols from these franchises. This is what I’m set out to do right here.

After PA Works finish producing a failure known as Glasslip, they have to come up with something that no studio has done before to make up for it. With that, they decided to make a show about anime production called Shirobako (白箱, lit white box), which focus on five girls trying to make it in an industry that is hard to get into.
