It's OK.  I don't now if I comment on ALL of your blogs. 

Still not a big enough connection for me.

Hi Tami!  Yeah, sorry, some of my blogs aren't as good as others.  Can't win 'em all. :)

Outside of the German name, I don't see any connection.

Nope, never played any other Arcana Heart games.  So I'm glad I got the opportunity to review this one.  I think Atlus published the others, and they can be a bit stingy, but Aksys published this one and they love me.

I don't know why I'm so familiar with obscure Neo Geo games.  It may be because there was an inordinate amount of Neo Geo arcade machines where I live, or that my circle of friends are SNK fans, too.  SNK's always been supportive of me reviewing their games, too.

I've only played the first one and the Spirit Camera 3DS game.  The first Fatal Frame game would've been neat if it weren't for the fact that your character controls like she just got out of bed.  Ghosts could be chasing her, and all she does is stumble around groggily.  If you have a 3DS, I'd try and get Spirit Camera.  It's a good sample of what the big games are like.

I've never played an Arcana Heart game before this one.  It's certainly a fun and accessible little fighter.  And you're right, it is a bit like Waku Waku 7.  And yes I do know about that game. :)

I was curious about Angry Birds Transformers, but not enough to download it.

If you want to play a really GOOD Transformers game, get Transformers: Fall of Cybertron.

Narrative can be good, but gameplay is king!

Yes, but charm can only take you so far.
