dazzybee Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I loved typing of the dead and love the concept, so could be tempted, but i reckon bargain bin for me. Is it actually chllenging if you're a good typer or more for kids?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireMeowth Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Apparently, no stores in Norway are going to stock this game, so I had to order it online... which means I probably won't get to play it before... well, next week, most likely. I guess I'll survive, though. It's not like I haven't got a couple of dozen games to complete or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcubed Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Hey, probably getting this soon; Just a quick Q. Do you get funny sentences and stupid stuff to type like in Typing of the Dead, or is it just Pokemon names and nothing else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcubed Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Pokémon names, the occassional key Bummer. Oh well, still looks fun anyhow (and that Keyboard alone looks to be worth the price of entry!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireMeowth Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Pokémon names, the occassional key Let's not forget typing letters to stop attacks and lighting candles or whatever. Also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedShell Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 So I decided to pick this up (mainly for the keyboard ), here's my stats after 31 mins: It's surprisingly fun. Things start out very simple, then it gradually increases the amount of letters and the speed you need to type at. I've always been pretty slow at typing, so I'm actually hoping this will help me improve a bit. I'd be doing better at this game if it only had the original 150 Pokémon though, I don't know many of the newer types, which means I have to wait for the name to appear on screen before I can start typing. So it's really exciting when a Pokémon that I recognise suddenly appears! :p Loving the sound effects when you get a combo going, but the voice work in this game is seriously bad. "New RanKING!" As for the Nintendo wireless keyboard, it's a thing of beauty. So small and cute. Great that it can be used with other devices too. I might even use it as my main PC keyboard.

ReZourceman Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Oh no I do! Just a few of the black and whites are a bit....bluomapy. I ordered from Shopto on a spur yesterday, so with their problem I am not anticipating to receive it for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedShell Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 The title screen on this is great fun. Going mental on the keyboard and seeing/hearing the results on the DS is incredibly entertaining. Also, I just realised that the keyboard doesn't communicate with the DS system, but the game card itself. It would be awesome if Nintendo included that Bluetooth functionality in future titles, Animal Crossing on 3DS is obviously a no-brainer for it.

RedShell Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 To anyone that stops playing a game once the credits have rolled, you probably shouldn't get this. Only 1:29 on my playtime and I've already hit the credits. Replayed quite a few stages too, so I reckon it's possible to "complete" in under an hour. By the way, I tip my hat to anyone that can correctly type the entire staff roll. That be insanely challenging with all of those Japanese names! I only managed about 300 letters. :p Obviously there are still a lot of new stages left to unlock (as the world map is the entire keyboard layout) and medals to earn. I just tried a new stage in which you had to recognise Pokémon crys (knew there would be one like that ), did surprisingly well at it though, as it's multiple choice (you also get pics of the Pokémon) and the ones I got were usually a newer type with an older one, so if I didn't recall a sound I just assumed it was the newer Pokémon.

-Dem0- Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Was thinking about waiting this out for a while. Thought the previous price was good. But now I'm sold, don't want to risk the price going back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
