Description
In the curious village of St. Mystere, townsfolk greet each other with riddles, lock their doors with sliding puzzles, and hide their secrets within brainteasers. When a wealthy baron passes away, his will reveals an elusive treasure hidden someplace inside the village. Now it's up to Professor Layton to untangle St. Mystere's riddles and puzzles, find the hidden treasure, and crack the case.

Features

• As Professor Layton, you'll tackle mind-bending puzzles as you unravel the mysteries of the village. Puzzles range from mazes and riddles to logic and sliding puzzles.


• Touch Screen controls make working through puzzles a snap for players of all skill levels, and new puzzles will be available for download via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.


• Professor Layton is the first to offer a story, cast of characters, and style that are just as strong as the gameplay. Fully voiced animated scenes bring the story to life, while the funny and eccentric villagers and the classic, hand-drawn art provide a stylish charm that will appeal to gamers and non-gamers alike.

Description
Wario is back with 200 all-new microgames and all-new ways to play them!

Dr. Crygor fixes Wario's busted GBA by tossing in a high-tech piece of laboratory equipment that looks suspiciously like a washing machine. When the GBA emerges, Wario discovers that he can play games by spinning it. Always on the lookout for new money-making schemes, Wario enlists his team of developers from WarioWare, Inc. to create tons of madcap, spin-controlled microgames. Wario can practically hear the "Ka-ching!" as the masses line up for his latest creation.

In WarioWare: Twisted!, you control the action by rotating the entire Game Boy Advance left or right and, sometimes, pressing the A Button. This must be the first game to include a screen warning you to spin your game system around -- but not yourself!

My Thoughts
This game is really crazy, fun and innovative. It's pure fun and laughter. The gameplay uses the gyro system built in the game catridge. It's all about Twisted!

Arcade
• Mario Kart GP Arcade;
• Hyper Bishi Bashi Champ;
• House of Dead 2 & 3;









My Thoughts
Another successful gathering! We all had fun eatinig and gaming.

We had fun at the arcade too, especially playing Hyper: Bishi Bashi Champ. Good news!!! The price per game for Mario Kart GP Arcade has reduced from 2 Tokens to 1 Token now. However, I was quite disappointed with the arcade's maintenance... it's so typical for MY Arcade operator to offer faulty gaming machines to customers. Next time before you insert any tokens/coins, please check the conditions (at least the physcial parts), as we got "conned" for playing House of Dead 2 & 3, as both machines came with spoiled guns.

Gyakuten Saiban 2 (Best Price) / Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Justice for All

This is the second part of the Gyakuten Saiban / Phoenix Wright series. 5 New stories/cases, with colorful cast of characters include both new and familiar faces.

New Features

• "Psyche-Lock" feature – some witnesses may be keeping the truth under tight lock and key (aka the "Psyche-Lock" state), so in order to break them down, successfully open up their Psyche-Locks with a series of correct questions or catch them on their inconsistent testimony;


• Life Bar - represents Phoenix's status in court – by presenting incorrect evidence or following misguided attempts to break Psyche-Locks, Phoenix's life bar will go down; the only way to regain this stat is to successfully open a witness's Psyche-Lock;


• Presenting "Profiles" - now "Profiles" is part of the evidence that you can present/to support your investigations/examinations;

My Thoughts
The story doesn't really link back to the first title, in terms of story development, perhaps a few old main characters that from the previous title. Generally I would say, it's still ok, for you to start/play with GS / PW 2.

Good stories, same old good illustrations.

Difinitely, another "MOST STUCKED" DS Game for you.

Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan 押忍！闘え！応援団

Someone's life in town has just turned disaster. When they cry out "OUENNNNDANNNNN!", a trio of uniformed "motivational soldiers" or "cheer squad", a.k.a. "Ouendan" will show up (out of nowhere) in response to the problems and bring peace to the world.


Gameplay
It's a rhythmic game, where you play along with the music (i.e. featured song), try to complete the game without any mistakes and getting PERFECT score in every level/story by:

• tapping the "Hit Markers";


• sometimes slide to the "Phrase Markers";


• do the final spin on the "Roll Markers";

Each level is featured with one J-Pop hits, and different problem/crisis. All the problems are presented in a funny & hillarious way, manga style comic strip.

You can also link up to 4 players in multiplayer game, in either Versus or Co-Op mode.


Features
The music featured in Ouendan are mainly popular J-Pop Hits from 1990s to 2000s. Pretty nice & cool songs.

For track listing, read HERE.


My thoughts
Unbelievable fun, hillarious, challenging & addictive. Not to mention, a list of nice J-Pop songs to listen to.
