I read this chapter in the book, but haven't seen this episode. Looks like it could be fun, although I don't recall the game in the book being anything beyond a typical 80s 8bit game.

Aren't you also supposed to be able to play AGAINST someone? I guess you could play against the "computer."

I'll probably buy it, although I bought the FMA State Alchemy Exam game and had trouble getting it to work.

And let's not forget those of us who haven't plunged into the smartphone market at all... This would be a lot better off on the PSN as a PSP download but then again I am just bitter because I own every modern game console and am not willing to blow more money on a phone just to play 2-3 games.

Sell your Wii and get an iPhone.

I love the Engrish instructions:
"-It exceeds to the time limit or it fails the mission if the player general machine is defeated"

"-Five kinds of lines of a type, Normal formation、Offensive formation、 Defensive formation、 High Speed formation,Defensive formation and General attack formation can be used."

This makes me wonder, did they just re-code the game from the PSP mini-game?

Because in the PSP VN they released a few years back if you got a certain amount of things done you unlocked a playable copy of Day of Sagittarius III playing as any one of the characters.

I want this for some reason now, does it work on ipod touches?

So is this the official game, cause unless I'm missing something nothing but you actually seems to move or do anything. Starting to understand how the SOS club was able to win this thing. Laughing

Probably a good idea if you don't really want an iPhone. Still I wouldn't doubt there are some folks out there (oh Haruhiism) that would buy a $200+ piece of hardware just to play a cheap $2 Haruhi licence game.

It should, if it doesn't than they made a mistake in the submission for it. I'm working on getting a promo code to test/review it for my podcast, and will report back on whether it works on the Touch as well. It really should though- it shouldn't require any of the hardware the iPhone has that the Touch doesn't...
