I'm so excited! And that will give me enough time to finish 999!

I was thinking about playing Investigations the other day, but I still think it might be too soon. Maybe after I finish some other stuff though...

I've heard that it's good, but I haven't started it yet. :c

I'm trying to finish ACII before I start anything new, though I'll probably want to play AC: Brotherhood right after.

Ah. Well, I trust your opinion when it comes to video games so I will try the game out when I get the opportunity to.

@F8AL: I'll let you know how it is. :bee:

Guys guys guys, you should finish it!

The ending is kind of drawn-out, but it's pretty good and totally worth it.

I agree, kind of over stayed it's welcome but it's satisfying
to see Ambassador Quercus Alba revert back to his old man stage. :bee:

Ghost Trick has a new demo on the Nintendo channel.

You have to find a Christmas present. :3

To those who asked, 999 is FLAWLESS.

It's like an orgasmic textual investigation scene from Phoenix Wright, except significantly less annoying.

Like, literally 10/10. I'm not completely finished it yet, but it is easily one of the best games on the DS, right up there with TWEWY for me.

I played 999 when the demo first came out. I wanted to buy it since I heard it was the same guy that did the PC visual novel, Ever 17.
Now that I have money, I should try and go pick it up.

Playing it now. "Saw" just keeps popping in my head. I've never played a visual novel game, but I must say the writing is very good.

I'm gonna get it for Christmas. :bee:

So since I don't hang out in this thread, I'll just ask. Has there been any word on a US release of the cross over?
For some reason, I seem to think that you don't want there to be a US localization of the game just to see my cry about it for a week, Mr. I-Only-Played-The-First-Layton-Game. D:

Yeah, just reading the premise of this game made me think of Saw.

Polt, I like Layton as a character, but his games are more meh for me. With that being said, I enjoy the Phoenix Wright series for the things it brings to the table. I see the cross over being a fun experience.

Wow, amazing!

I'm really curious as to how the chess element is going to play out in this game. And it looks like we get to return to the courtroom! Yay!

Wow Wow WOW! Does this hint voiceovers for the game? Hurray for courtrooms!
Nope. All the other games at voice acting in their trailers. :ohwell:

I don't like Gumshoe's Japanese voice though in the trailers. lol
It's just not how I imagine it. The other ones fit though.

I was walking past a television just a few minutes ago and I heard "...so you can get spiritual training..."
So I got really excited for a minute ....then I realized it was a homeless shelter commercial >_>

I imagine Gumshoe sounding like Dave Wittenberg as Cliff Fittir from Star Ocean 3.

I'm afraid to watch it because I don't want to ruin how Gumshoe sounds in my own head. @_@

It's not that bad. Japanese voices were always weird for me. He sounds wacky, as he should, but I imagined it a bit deeper and goofier.

I bit the bullet. Not as bad as I was expecting, and it didn't supplant the voice I had for him in my head.

To me, he always sounded like a cross between Carl from the Simpsons, and Yagami Soichiro from Death Note. xD

Went to Gamestop today....could not find 999. I was disappointed. I won't get another chance to look, but I'm pretty sure Amazon is the way to go =/

I got lucky, managed to grab the probably the last copy in the province at a local EB games.

It's hard to find in retail. REALLY hard.

Tried Ghost Trick's demo from the Nintendo channel. It was awesome lol. I loved flinging the dog with the cabinet. :laugh:

I just now beat 999 and got a really, REALLY bad ending. I'm gonna try to get the other endings but I'm not going to play the game through night again. The game is that disturbing and scary, and the literature makes it so graphic and detailed. I need a hug.

It's ok, I still haven't gotten the good ending yet either.

Two bad endings, #5 and #6.
