Etrian Mystery Dungeon

I picked up this titular game. I preordered it at Gamstop, so I got an art booklet and music CD all pictured below.

Now I get to look at what's coming out next month that I might want to preorder. Let's see. . . looks like Wolfenstein: The Old Blood, downloadable prequel to New Order, on either PS4 or Xbox One on May 5th. I was kinda hoping for a physical copy but no dice there. It's only $20 anyway. I may buy it for Xbox One day-one even though I don't have a system yet. Or maybe I'll get one soon. I'll have to think about that.

Boy that Batman Arkham Knight custom PS4 looks good! I also see Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold out in August - gonna be all over that one. I guess it's a remake of EO2 just like Millenium Girl was the remake of EO1.

I just got the answer to my wish for more Mii Plaza games today on the GamesRadar podcast. They said new games are on the way. Let me look. . . Oh yeah! On April 16th there will be two new games: Battleground Z and Ultimate Angler. They're 4.99 each or 7.99 bundled. I'll be getting both for sure.

have you started playing this yet?

I think I might have to go for one of those Batman PS4's. Too awesome.

Not yet. I might pop it in tonight if I have time.

I'm real tempted by that Batman PS4. So sweet!

Just played the first dungeon. This game uses the same layout, art design, and type of music as Etrian Odyssey Untold Millenium Girl. The difference being it's in an isometric point of view in the dungeons instead of first person. The gameplay seems very similar if not the same but I'm not sure what happens with multiple characters in a group. The first dungeon I did solo, but now I have four other party members. Not sure how you orient them on the field and use them to fight yet. I'll do dungeon 2 tomorrow night.

so is it turn based battling? color me intrigued.

I think yes but you don't go into another screen to battle. You maneuver on the field, which has a grid underneith it. The monsters move as you move, a square at a time. Then you fight them when next to them by just using "x" or "shift and x" to use a special attack. It goes back and forth until one side wins. This was one on one. I'm not sure what happens when you get a team down there. I'll find out soon though.

Next month I'm looking forward to the Puzzle & Dragons game on 3DS, but mainly because it has a Mario version on it. I'm definitely getting those Mii Plaza games, too. I got my money's worth out of the last batch.

I just watched the trailer for Puzzle & Dragons. YES! I'm preordering that! Wolfenstein can wait 'til I have the system to play it.

04/09/2015 at 02:44 AM

Preordered it today. May 22nd. Can't wait!

That Batman PS4 is real nice. Another one of those "Damn I should have waited" console versions.

As for the new Mii games I'll usually skip anything with Zombies but I'm interested in that Fishing game, and I have some extra funds on my 3DS Store Account so that will be added to my little collection.

"Damn I should have waited" is definitely the first thought I had upon seeing it. However, I bet I could get a decent sticker to replicate the look at least. I remember my older brother's NES had a million stickers on it. Now that I think about it, maybe I put some of them on when I was really little, unless he also like dinosaurs.

Don't be crazy, everyone loves dinosaurs, so he is responsible for at least half of those stickers.

I remember wanting this PS2 decal design for my Xbox. It was a bullet shells design just like the cover of the game Black.

Yeah, Untold 2 is a remake of the second game originally released on the DS. I'll be looking forward to that one once I finish or atleast advance on the first Untold.

I just deleted the demo version of Millenium Girl on my 3DS and I think it deleted my game save as well. I'll find out when I boot up EOUMG again. Of course, I don't mind because when I play it again, I'll start over anyway.

My brother got the game just the other day. He's enjoying it so far, I should probably pick up a copy soon.

I'm wondering if there is a street pass thing in it. I need to play some more until I unlock that I think.
