Awesome job, Kimimi! I love the looks and sounds of this game. Is it kind of Animal Crossing-esque? Regardless, I'll bet it's fun -- or at least relaxing. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to do this and share the results with your readers. Very much looking forward to future installments :)

Kimimi said...

Thank you very much Bryan! I added the link to my original blog post at the bottom of the post - which is what I should have done in the first place! Always going to be a few teething problems with these new things :)

Davzz said...

This is new and helpful.

Now do Nobunaga's Ambition and Bahamut Senki.

Just kidding, I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

Kimimi said...

That means a lot Davzz, thank you! :D

I reckon I could do a few pertinent Bahamut Senki pages on a good day...maybe... *hides Bahamut Senki* manual so I never have to look at it again*

Bryan Ochalla said...

Ah, you shouldn't feel bad about forgetting a link to your previous post about this game. That kind of stuff always happens! I'm just glad I can read a bit more about this one, as it definitely sounds/looks interesting :)

The icing on the cake - it's also cheap and easy to find! :D
