From dictionary.com =)

Yikes sorry for the double-posting >.< (triple now *kneels down and begs for mercy*)

It is Mandarin and not Cantonese. But... The screens aren't looking too good, I spotted too many mistakes (mainly repeating of the last character in words)... Hope they will rectify those before release (they better do). Kind of interesting that the screenshots mostly have the word 'seaweed' in Chinese.

The Japanese one looks okay, though. =)

(Anyway for those wondering, I can read both Japanese and Chinese, just interested in what the two softwares offer. Personally I think it's not bad as they even teach uncommon terms.)

No New Super Mario Bros 2? =(( The GTA news is great! hope it doesn't disappoint this time, didn't really liked the GBA version...

Awesome week! (Not for our wallets unfortunately =( )

Don't worry about flame wars here, AFAIK the readers commenting here have been rather open-minded and matured.

I have to totally agree with you regarding the demos. I don't own a PSP, but I do know how easy it is for a PSP to download demos. Whereas for a DS, I've never actually taken time to find a Download Spot just to try a new game (I'm lazy=P)

I do hope Nintendo improves on these in future handhelds and consoles...

P.S I play Pokemon Pearl too! Too many Diamond players around XD

Err. No, the wisp doesn't attack enemies. According to the official website, the game's "attack cycle" works this way:

WISP commands ALLIES to attack ENEMIES who attack the WISP.
Whereas ENEMIES can't attack ALLIES who serve the WISP that can't do anything to (except run away from) ENEMIES.

Sorry if the caps sounded offending, just wanted to make the point clear...

Interestingly, among the 7 jobs in the allies, only the Duelist and Lance Knights can move; the others (Warrior, Hermit, Archer, Priestess and Wizard) can't.

Directions also play an important part. Duelist and Warriors can attack nearby and left directions, Lance Knights all 4 directions and the others front and right.

As though the game isn't confusing enough... But I'll still try it when it comes out.

Theremin...

Children of Mana... And it made me lose interest after a short while, but luckily the presence of many other great games made my purchase worthwhile =) I would say my personal favourite's NSMB and Mario Kart DS...
