Pokemon Dream Radar
Since two days ago I’ve been busy playing (not so) new 3DS Downloadable game… Pokemon Dream Radar… released in October 7th, 2012 for US region… and it costs US$ 2.99…
Basically, this is just a side game of Pokemon Black 2 or Pokemon White 2… an augmented reality game but it has no 3D display…
The gameplay itself is similar to Face Riders…
You can obtain certain Pokemon with their dream world ability or items and than transfer them to Pokemon Black 2 or Pokemon White 2 game cart…
The main attractive point is… that you can obtain Therian Form of Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus…
The following summary is based on my experience of playing…
– One cloud is generated every 5 minutes… be patient… this is somewhat annoying…
– You can maximize the amount of clouds by trading 5 Play Coins… You can only trade Play Coins 3 times a day…
– Pink Clouds will give you Dream Orbs
– You can obtain item or catch Pokemon from Gray Clouds…
– The following extension will be unlocked if you obtain certain amount of Dream Orbs:
Eureka Extension α (Tornadus) –> 400 Dream Orbs
Eureka Extension β (Thundurus) –> 1500 Dream Orbs
Eureka Extension γ (Landorus) –> 3000 Dream Orbs
That’s total amount, you can spend them for upgrading device safely…
– If you manage to catch all Tornadus, Thundurus, dan Landorus… the credits roll will be played…
– Simulator α, β, γ will be available after credits roll… this extentions are for testing your catching speed ability… keep in mind that you can only transfer Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus once…
– Generation IV will work after credits roll… You can catch mascot Pokemon from Generation IV games… I managed to catch Giratina and Lugia… as I only have Platinum and SoulSilver carts…
– You can transfer the item(s) or pokemon into different region… in my case… my Japanese Pokemon Black 2 isn’t recognized in my 3DS System (Asia/US Region)… but, the Pokemon Dream Radar recognized the game cart itself… So I transfered the Pokemon that were already caught from Pokemon Dream Radar to my Japanese Pokemon Black 2 cart…
For now, I’m waiting the clouds to be generated…
Tornadus and Thundurus have been sent to Japanese Pokemon Black 2…
Landorus, Giratina, and Lugia are still in Pokemon Dream Radar… I plan to transfer them to US Pokemon White 2… the package haven’t arrived yet… T.T
Spirit Camera – The Cursed Memoir
Three days ago, Saturday April 14 2012, I recieved a new game for 3DS… Spirit Camera – The Cursed Memoir…
This game is Fatal Frame spin-off game…
Utilize gyro sensor and 3D feature in Nintendo 3DS…
What I got…
Game card, booklet, PIN, other game promotion, and the last is “Diary of Faces” (AR book)…
Next… let’s see the 3DS bios screen…
Accessing the game… the title screen…
Hit “A” button or touch the touch screen… the main menu…
Main menu divided into 3 main parts:
– Fatal Frame: Diary of Faces, this is the main story, after you finished main story, you will unlock more stuffs in this sub menu…
– Haunted Vision, take picture of your surrounding and it will generate spirit photograph…
– Cursed Pages, play mini-games… by default only 2 mini-games available… more mini-games will be unlocked if you cleared first 2 mini-games…
Okay next is the main story… I will only write the prologue to avoid spoiler…
The Diary of Faces Prologue
Once upon time, I received package from unknown sender… I opened the package…
I found Camera Obscura, a book inside the package… and a note about Camera Obscura…
The note…
Thus, I tried to take some pictures with that camera…
First try… It’s just normal result…
but… the second try… the picture seems stained…
I became curious… and tried to take a picture once more…
The result… there is a book overlapped on the main picture…
That book is exactly same as the book in the package…
Suddenly, the camera is reacting toward to that book…
I try to take a picture of the first page of that book…
Suddenly, a few letters emerged from that blank paper…
ずっと待ってた (zutto matteta)… “I’ve been waiting…”
that book turned into black and drew me inside…
I have no clue what was happened… but, when I opened my eyes…
I’m inside house… an old house… where am I…?
I have bad feeling about this…
This house is kinda creepy… I saw an old paint there…
Passing that through… continuing my walk…
Suddenly, I see a woman in white in a glimpse at the corner of corridor… she is moving away…
I continued my walk to that woman… but, no one there…
I stopped my walk in the front of door… I can hear a woman voice from behind what door…
As I wanted to open that door, someone yelled at me… “Don’t open that door”…
I’m surprised… and I search the source of that voice…
I turn my head to the right…
I see woman in white that I saw before… she runs toward me…. and things become white all of sudden…
…….
…….
I opened my eyes… recollect my sense… I’m still in my own room… and with the book on the table…
Now, I’m thinking if that house and what I saw before are just all dream…?
“Can you hear me? If you can, look this way.”
Someone is calling me… I’m checking surrounding…
I saw her again, woman in white, maybe that wasn’t just a dream after all…
She introduced herself to me…
She is Maya… she has been trapped in that old house from long time… and she lost her memories…
Maya explains that anyone who enters that house will never be escape… they’re cursed… if the “woman in black” find them, they will become vengeful spirit with their eyes and mouth riped…
A few people already become victim of woman in black…
That means I’m currently under the curse of that book… I have same boat as Maya…
After we are thinking… the Camera Obscura that I currently own… has the power to capture unusual… and that cursed diary… maybe hold the key to break the curse…
And also, we have chance to recover Maya’s memories…
Yep, that is the prologue more or less…
Maya will help a lot in the game to break the curse…
If you complete the main story… you will unlock main story (extra) and summon character using AR Book or “?” AR Card…
Main story (extra) has more difficult enemy and gives more information about Maya… plus unlock extra costume for Maya…
While you summon any character, you can battle with that character or take photos… something like this…
Now, we will talk about the Haunted Vision sub-menu…
– Spirit Photography
– Spirit Check
– Spirit Challenge
Spirit Photography allow you to take spirit photo… either using Normal Lens, 3D Lens, or Face Lens…
Normal Lens will generate random spirit… if the surrounding is too bright, it will generate nothing…
Scary girl face…
Fire spirit…
3D Lens will generate spirit based on character or ghost in this game…
A spirit screamed in my room…
Boy spirit near Cirno…
Maya… >_< at the corridor to my room…
Spirit Check… this allow you to check what spirit is currently haunting you… They’re characters of ghosts from earlier Fatal Frame games…
You need to take a photo of you or your friend face… and look to first page of Diary of Faces…
Who is currently haunting me… Misaki…
I haven’t tried Face Lens option…
Last sub-menu is Spirit Challenge…
You need take a photo of your face, your friend’s face, or anything… the taken face will become spirit and attack you…
My personal opinion…
– Game itself is really exciting, virtual-reality ghost story…
– Controlling is very easy, you only turn your body to find the spirit…
– Haunted vision is also exciting… you can make pseudo spirit photo… to trick your friend…
– Some of scenes really made me surprised…
– Extra content…
– Maya is moe… (=w=)d I dreamed Maya in my sleep once… >_>
The story is short… I completed it in 3-4 hours effective… this game is not designed for intense gamer… this game is for fun…
