Overall: 6. After being spoiled with the character offerings from Fire Emblem 7 and the other GBA games, this was quite a turn backward for me. I especially don’t appreciate the lack of availability of the characters (many of the useful characters will be unavailable for dispatch for like half of the entire game), and without a guide, it becomes an ultimate chore to pull through. I don’t really care about the continuing story from the Gamecube game. It just wasn’t that fun.

Title: Hakuouki Portable 薄桜鬼 ポータブル
Console: PSP
Genre: Otome
Language: Japanese
Company: Idea Factory
Summary: I know the DS version is more recent and includes more gameplay elements, but I want the better sound quality for Yocchin. I’ve played through Heisuke/Yocchin’s route, but after that I think I’ll just watch the anime if I ever have any more “interest” in the other routes. XD; Someone who likes the seiyuu enough would definitely find it worth playing those other routes though.

Title: Pokemon Black/White
Console: NDS
Genre: RPG
Language: Japanese
Company: Nintendo
Summary: You know the drill by now. Seems they’re adding quite a few features to the gameplay this round that I can perhaps put some expectations on. At least enough for famitsu to give it a 40/40.

I’ve now beaten the champion and opened access to the full Pokedex. But…

Title: Inazuma Eleven (イナズマイレブン)
Console: NDS
Genre: RPG, Sports
Language: Japanese
Company: Level-5
Summary: Replayed this after a long time to lawl at the differences~ I played this when it first came out in Japan and didn’t think too much of it. And then the anime started, and I thought back then it’d only get to 13 or 26 episodes. And then season 2 and 3 came in… so I decided to replay this finally, and…

Uta no☆Prince-Sama♪ Repeat

Language: Japanese
Company: Broccoli
Summary: You enter the one-year program at Saotome Academy as a composer and have to work with one idol prospect partner with the goal of debuting after the year ends. However, the school head has declared that no romantic relationships are allowed at the Academy!

I’ve done all 6 + the hidden route now! Dunno if I’ll take the time to get the extra CGs for most of the “friendship” and “normal love” routes… anything outside “super love” route = less interest XD

Please for more combining of awesome composers with awesome voice talents \o/
