So is it some kind of voice-stress-tester thing?

I've never played it but I've read tons of praise so it's a must for me the RPG addict.

Landstalker is one of the greatest action RPGs ever made. People who say otherwise are being wrong for the sake of saying wrong things.

Wave race out today apparently. Everyone can calm down now.

No doubt that OXM will give it a shit score if they do a cross format review.

Star Soldier R... It's not finished, and Hudson hasn't decided if they will release it or not. I hope it will become a Wiiware title...

It's pitchforks & torches time if Hudson decides to pass. If Nintendo is good with titles using only the classic controller, I can't think of any reason for the Wii not to become the new console of choice for shooters. Especially seeing as the demand for Wii titles in the US means anyone will publish anything, meaning we could finally see some Cave stuff if they'd only publish it in Japan first.

I'm an idiot. I've been using the Wii browser quite a lot recently, more than I used to, mainly out of convenience (as the Wii has been switched on a lot because of me playing Paper Mario). Anyway, I've been cursing the lack of a 'back' function on the remote, as I figured it would be much easier than having to pop up the toolbar and point to the icon every time. Last night by accident I found the B+(-) combo which does the 'back' function on the remote. I've now checked the user guide and found that every toolbar function can be done with a B+something combo. Duh me. Mental note to myself - RTFM.

I got Kokoro Scan, and played a bit.

It's basically a voice-emotions-tester game by Feel the Magic team. It claims to detect calmness/anger/joy/disappointment/excitement from your voice.

In some modes, the game demand you to say certain words...then you can see which one you like/hate most. There are many funny questions to reveal who you are.

Other than these, there are mini-games which demand you to express specified emotion. I changed "way of talking" option, then I ended up barking/meowing at my DS.

It's interesting, I have to say. Note it's really importer UNFRIENDLY(you need to read Japanese instructions then pronounce Japanese words).

So what was with the bear playing guitar in the trailer? I'm curious because I liked that bit.

I see the bear here and there(I've even seen monster cosplaying bears...) but never sure what it is, why it is in this game.

Hold on a second. I trekked half way across Sheffield (no pun intended, Sheffielders) to pick up a second hand copy of this in 1998, and I was pretty disappointed. What do you say to charges of too much wandering about, repetitive music and a perspective that never really feels comfortable?

I say I've beaten it twice and played a large chunk over again for a two-page magazine spread and loved every second of it, every time.

The music is a bit repetitive, I'll grant, but I don't recall that much wandering about on my first play-through. Figuring out what the puzzle is I need to solve in order to progress happened a few times, but that's the nature of this kind of game. "What am I missing?", kind of thing.

The perspective does take a bit of getting used to, and you really need a good stick in order to hit those diagonals, but once you've done the first and acquired the second it's wonderfully fun, in the most evil way possible.
