SNES to DS changes - Page 3

The Japanese version was released on December 20. There hasn't been a date announced for an American release yet, but Nintendo Power--and conventional wisdom--claim it's forthcoming.

I didn't realise it was actually possible to get the dark crystal early so that was news to me.

The changes seem pretty decent on the whole. Obviously some are going to be more obvious than others (I mean, does controlling Cecil in the opening battle matter a great deal really?). On the whole, I don't have any real objections to them.

How far along have you played into it anyway, Kishi?

Ah. Did they make it challenging this time around?

All the way. I beat it a few days after its release.

Understatement of the year.

These actually aren't new "magic spells," but rather possible functions of the "twin" command through certain character combinations.

Twin magic is still magic! It costs MP and everything.

Yeah, but if I read that before having played the game I'd assume it just meant new normally casted spells. Twin magic is a hassle and a half.
