Feel the Magic XX/XY

Feel the Magic is one of the games I picked up yesterday along with my DS.

Feel the Magic is a cool game in that it takes advantage of the DS's uniqueness right on day one of the DS's launch. Use of the touch screen? Check. Use of the microphone? Check.

The premise of the game: You're this guy who is trying to woo a girl. You do that by being successful at a bunch of different tasks.

Basically, FTM is a bunch of mini-games built around a storyline. If you liked Wario Ware for the GBA, you will also like FTM.

I've only played about 4 of the mini-games so far, but they are all quite fun. One minigame has you using the stylus to move shurikens out of a street so that the main character of the game, who is trying to ride a shopping cart down the street, won't get thrown out of the cart when it hits a shuriken. It's pretty cool because you see where the cart is on the top screen and then you move the shurikens and the cart moves to the bottom screen.

Anyway, if anyone wants to ask some Qs I will try to answer.

What do you use the mic for?

Are you happy with the DS so far? Was it worth the purchase?

So far in FTM I've used the mic once. There's this minigame where you blow out candles by blowing on the touch screen. The mic input is just below the touch screen so it picks up on that and the two inputs together (touch screen and mic) decide how successful you were at blowing out the candle. I've found that several short puffs are more effective than one big puff.

As for the DS, yeah, it's definitely cool and I'm glad I got it. *^_^*The only bad thing is not a lot of people I know got one, so I don't have anyone to PictoChat with at the moment. But I did get one for my gf for Christmas (she doesn't know) so I can't wait for that....PictoChat is so much fun!

Does it cost anything to go online?

I have a wireless broadband router here in the house...would I be able to go online with that and use Pictochat (or whatever) with other users over the internet?

hey guys check it out, a sequel to the game

XY/XX gets second date

Sega getting to second base (and possibly further) with dating game sequel subtitled Where Do Babies Come From?
In advertisements featured in the latest issues of Japanese game magazines, Sega has unveiled that it will release a sequel to its love-filled Nintendo DS game, titled Feel the Magic: XY/XX in North America. The original XY/XX was released with the eccentric subtitle of "Kimi no tame nara Shineru" (I can die for you) in Japanese. The next installation will carry the equally unique, albeit potentially racy, name "Akachan wa doko kara kuru no?" (Where do babies come from?).


The box art for Akachan wa doko kara kuru no? features two female silhouettes in similar postures to the original XY/XX, except they're wearing dresses this time and holding a rose in their mouths.

GameSpot will have more details on the game as they become available. In the meantime, snuggle up with a full review of the original title.

Hmm, I smell franchise *CENSORED* already. This game does look cool though.
