Yeah, I can agree with that. The opening is really good.

The original really isn't that hard to get. Check eBay UK, the prices have really come down there. Some of them may ship internationally.

I still have my original copy with the instruction booklet in pretty good condition. One of the few games that I didn't destroy as a child due to playing it too much.

The Wii version I believe has updated graphics, two extra hearts added to your life bar (thus making the game easier) and the original's charming gibberish dialogue is replaced with English. But I hear you can switch it back to the gibberish if you like. I don't know if there's any other difference since I haven't played it.

She pretty much nailed it, though I'm not sure about the language option. If you can switch back to gibberish, well, I wish I had known that, 'cause the English voice acting is awful. But yeah, it's just aesthetically different as far as I can remember, it's just as fun as the OG minus how cute/endearing you'd find the old graphical style. Well worth a buy.

*Netkeeper* · 09-02-2015, 03:40 PM

All of this is very good to know. I admit I am now biased towards the Wii version because it's easier. :V

*Powder* · 09-02-2015, 05:39 PM

To be fair, the game is really easy in general. Stupid easy. You just have the advantage of being able to take more hits, but it doesn't even matter because the likelihood of dying with or without extra hearts is pretty low.

*Cure* · 09-02-2015, 06:26 PM

I played and beat the Wii version of Klonoa, too, like years ago. I don't remember much, I just remember liking it and wishing it was longer.

*Powder* · 09-02-2015, 07:54 PM

Yeah, that's my only major complaint with the game, it's too short. It's definitely a fun ride while it lasts, though. I need to get around to playing the sequels one of these days.

I'm only aware of one actual sequel to Phantomile, and that's Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil on the PS2. Very good game, but a very different to Phantomile. Completely different art style. Cell-shaded 3D graphics and no adorable gibberish dialogue - all in English. Definitely worth playing if you enjoyed the first one though.

Just played the SNES Harvest Moon for the first time.

I really like it. I REALLY like it. I just wish the days didn't go by in the blink of an eye. I hardly have time to do anything.

[I've never played a Harvest Moon before.]

*CyberCubed* · 09-08-2015, 09:39 PM

Just finished MGSV with the full ending. My god, Kojima is either a madman or a genius.

Goddamn. Now I wish Konami didn't fire Kojima, I can only wish we would get another MGS game...

*AT-Man* · 09-09-2015, 06:43 AM

Yay, I finished Bravely Default! Now for the completion of D's Journal.

Dayum, I couldn't possibly romp through all of this game's missions so quickly.

Just played TMNT 3: Mutant Nightmare on DS and Dr. Mario on Game Boy Advance.

How do you like that one? I used to have it. I bought it to play on a vacation so I'd have something new to play.

*Cure* · 09-09-2015, 05:34 PM

In Metal Gear...

Spoiler:

*Powder* · 09-09-2015, 06:40 PM

Just beat Super Mario Galaxy, & with far more stars than on my original playthrough. Tempted to get the 26 remaining to unlock the bonus world, but with there being nothing but challenges left, I may just spare myself the frustration & move on to replaying the sequel. I'm tempted to revisit Skyward Sword first, though nothing says I can't do both.

*CyberCubed* · 09-09-2015, 08:55 PM

In Galaxy what was the reward for all 120 stars? Was there a super-hard bonus level like Galaxy 2, 3D Land, and 3D World had?

I can't remember.

How far into the game are you? There's this one part where you play as Donatello where you have to solve some kind of puzzle. It involves wires. Does that sound familiar to you? I've gotten it right, but the only thing about it is that I was never clear on just how you solve it.

Yeah all the turtles do different things in some ways. Donatello does all kinds of computer related stuff.

I only played the game as Donatello so far and I'm in the middle of the last level. To be honest I'm just as confused as you are on the one where he picks the wires. I never know which ones to pick but I got past it, I guess I was lucky.
