That doesn't seem to be so with Disgaea DS...

Is the DS just a remake of the original? If so Pleinair does join you on your first play through.

Uh...I guess so...? Of the PS2 & PSP one, I guess...I looked around & it looks like I have to lose to Mid-Boss or something? idk if I've gotten to that yet...

EDIT: Yeah, that was it...just had to lose to Mid-Boss (which in the end was looking kinda sketchy with the Counters, Counter-Counters, etc) & get the "Mid-Boss Wins?" ending...so it really IS New Game+, it's just that you can get an ending incredibly early on...I LOVE the Prinny Commentary, though. I haven't tried Pleinair yet, but just that Commentary was well worth it.

But I looked it up, and yeah, it's the 2nd remake/port of Disgaea: Hour of Darkness. From what I've heard, it's basically the version you should get if you don't have either of the other ones. The graphics obviously aren't as good (I think they're fine though having not seen the originals), the music is watered down (I have no idea because I play w/o sound), and the voice acting is also cut down a bit in the DS version (again, I have no idea w/o sound)...

Bleh, so I'm mostly through with LEGO Batman...just a few levels left in villain mode...mostly just unlocking stuff, which I think is really inane once you've already beaten everything...they need to make the balance of unlocking junk & what's actually left to do in the game better...not to mention the game's kind of repetitive at times. I also don't understand why Robin doesn't have a grappling hook...or how Penguin fits in those chutes...>_>

Anyways, I started up MegaMan Star Force 2: Zerker X Ninja...I enjoyed the first Star Force enough to warrant a play of the new one, and it's got a ninja in the version I'm playing (though it's...green...). So far, yeah, it looks the same, but that's what I expected...

Overlord: Raising Hell.  Pretty fun.

Hey V, you seem to keep up with the DS and its games, would you happen to know the name of a game where you buy up towns or something and eventually become king?  Or maybe it is you are king and you have to buy up towns or please the citizens or something... I vaguely remember reading a review about it and thought it was interesting but now I can't recall it for the life of me.  It might be for the PSP...who knows.

lol...there's a new Crystal Chronicles for DS coming out soon though, Echoes of Time...Maybe that's why you thought that? Or maybe the former Crystal Chronicles on DS, Ring of Fates...? RoF was an ok action/adventure RPG...

World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King beta

I play a male due to the 9 year olds who are desperate for cyber.

Yeah, I suppose it's a given that a lot of us are playing Mother 3 now...damn yous rhythm-based combos~!! Otherwise it seems great...I can kind of see why it didn't come over here though...it must've been hell to try to persuade anyone to pick it up...I mean, it's got the simplistic, cheery look & feel of Earthbound (both original Mothers, really), but it starts out kinda dark (from what I've already heard it continues down this path)...I mean, the market for this is basically the hardcore RPGers. Not exactly for the kiddies & like previous installments, casual RPGers might scoff at it's look...what do I know, though? We've evolved as a gaming community since then, right?

Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Justice For All - Started this one up a couple days prior to getting M3. I loved him starting out with a head injury that kind of acted as a cheesy, easy-in for them to re-explain everything about gameplay & such...the wacky inner lock addition thing seems a little weird though...I should probably test to see what happens when your hurt bar goes all the way down...

Some others I decided to pick up again before I got Mother 3 were...

Tales of Phantasia - I hadn't gotten very far in it when I first played the SNES version, and now I'm attempting the GBA version and it seems just as if not more unforgiving as I recall (I hear there's not much of a change in it at all though, really)...I ended up restarting like 5 times in the beginning before I realized that I'd just have to run from everything but the bees until I got the hang of things, leveled some & acquired some abilities...It really makes me want to play Star Ocean, though...V_V

Golden Sun - I HAD gotten kind of far when I first played this a WHILE back...I remember being ok with the stupid oldschool targeting system, really enjoying the telepathic stuff, and getting kind of tired as it trudged on because it gets kind of repetitively cliché...I still want to finish this so I can get to the sequel & see if I can carry over this save somehow through the emu...

Hey, V? Check this out.

I'm playing Pokemon Blue. We kick SERIOUS ass. It's kinda funny, though. I started to go to Rock Tunnel after trading stuff away to get HM05, not realizing that I hadn't beaten Surge yet. I almost typed it as Serge. Heheheh...
