Densetsu no Stafi 4 (DS)

New gameage! In fact, it came on Thursday, but I only got round to giving it a try today. And it’s very cute. There’s an awful lot of Japanese text in there, but I just hammered A to get past all that, and on to the platforming proper. It’s very cute. Completed the first three or four levels, which mainly involved some training sections, and collecting items for water snails and lobsters and stuff. It’s great so far! And very …

Stafi delivery!

Densetsu no Stafi games are ace, aren’t they? Completely incomprehensable, yes, but amazing nonetheless. And, thanks to a sale at Play Asia, I’m now the proud owner of the first and third games in the series, having completed parts 2 and 4 earlier in the year. In other Exciting Delivery News, Guitar Hero III GET!

Densetsu no Stafi 2 (GBA): COMPLETED!

World 11 was, in fact, the final world. Dark Castle and all! As expected of the final world, many of the levels sort of repeated some of the puzzles and routines of previous levels, although obviously mixed up a bit. Thankfully, there was no SuckySuck(TM) bit either. The end boss, however, did do the usual trick of dying, only to change form and regain all his energy – twice. I wasn’t too bothered though, as each form was very different, …

Densetsu no Stafi 2 (GBA)

This really is a most excellent platformer, you know, even though I fear I’m missing out on some totally riveting storyline with the amount of Japanese dialogue going on. Progressed past World 4, killing the Ice/Fire Dragon boss at the end that was somewhat heat bi-polar, and now I’m into Tree Tops World (World 5). Yes, a starfish in the trees, which are conveniently full of water and stuff. I’ve gained the ability to double-jump now too. I did have …

Densetsu no Stafi 2 (GBA)

After playing Hide and Seek with some small turtles (or whatever they are), it was time to move on to killing the boss at the end of World 3. It was a thing riding a giant moth. Like the previous bosses, it was pretty easy, and I was soon onto World 4, which is Ice World. So lots of falling ice spikes and slippy floors.

Densetsu no Stafi 2 (GBA)

I already have, and have played a little of, the 4th game in this series. I was hoping to start with the first game, but can’t get it for under a million pounds, and this was about 9p on Play Asia a while ago so I picked it up. It’s a cute platformer with some puzzley elements and collection, and many of the levels involve some sort of quest. So far, I’m on level 2-2, having just collected some furniture …

2007: A Year in Gaming – Part 2

May May was more varied than previous months this year.¬¨‚Ć There was Eledees and Wing Island on the Wii, Crackdown, Lego Star Wars II and Tony Hawk’s American Wasteland on the 360, and the amazing Ouendan 2 on the DS, as well a plethora of 360 demos, XBLA games, and Wii VC titles. I struggled with the original NES Castlevania (on the VC) for a while too, and never did manage to complete it.¬¨‚Ć It’s just too hard! June Oh …
