    No it's not. The controls do exactly what you tell them to do.

    Once a while you yell into the mic.

    One of the best 'Slash' type pins uses the mic.

    Instead of yelling into the mic on TWEWY, I just tapped it with the stylus, worked rather well, and less embarrassing in public.

    Man, I played TWEWY so much leading up to PAX.
    I made a chart of what pins I needed to evolve, and how, and got almost everything done but the mingle-XP evolutions.
    "Great!" I thought, "I'll just play at PAX and get this shit done waiting in line day one!"
    I was so sick of the game by the time PAX rolled around, I didn't even bring it with me.

    I based my main pins around lightning and slashing attacks. And gravity. Gravity + multi-shot lightning = death to all foes.

    I tried to have a variety.

    But one of the Lightning pins was totally sweet. Slash once it hits three times on normal foes. On the final boss I could hit three of his vulnerable spots at the same time.

    my DS screen is fucking ravaged because of TWEWY.
    I would tap and slash and circle with so much vigor, that there are goddamn gouges on my screen.
    There's also a couple spots where touch-reception is kinda sketchy.

    Man you are missing out.

    You should try Mario and Luigi 3. It is ace, and Bowser is at his most awesome.

    I can't play TWEWY without a slashy pin

    if it ever gets stolen or deactivated by an enemy I basically just run around in a panic for a few seconds before remembering I have other options

    having more than one tappy pin is fun

    one minute you're tapping away sending lightning everywhere

    next minute outta nowhere you got boulders falling on shit

    You can retry missions anytime via the Holo-Mission selection in the main menu of the Gray Area. Some chests might be out of reach right now.

    (Unless it's one of those missions handed out by your fellow Org. members. Then it can definitely be accomplished on the same day.)

    so after five months of playing fire emblem on my gameboy i dicked around with a DS at target and saw a new fire emblem game was out

    and a bunch of ff games, and i think chrono trigger, and advance wars too

    lites are only $129, and if I pick up fire emblem with that i'd be good for awhile and i've always wanted a ds

    how are lites? are they worth getting? should I get a fat one instead? enlighten me and reccomend games (i already know i need professor layton and phoenix wright)

    About halfway through the game I pretty much relied on only two pins. One was a slashy and one involved blowing in the mic. People would ask me what the fuck I was doing on multiple occasions whenever I played the game in public.

    It was a happy day when I got my pin set to 100% completion. I'm never playing that game again.

    I personally don't see what's so great about Lites, but a lot of people like 'em.

    Anyway, I think Phats are all but impossible to find now.

    So, yeah, might as well. If you wait too long the Lites might get phased out in favour of the DSi, then no more GBA slot. (BAH!)

    yeah I figured out pretty quickly that one good way to not look like a tool in public is to blow instead of shout into the mic

    in the end I always had a slashy, a tappy, a shooting one (a la bullets or some such), a mic-activated, and the piggy

    I know
    demyx says he'll make it worth my while if I get all five chests and I've looked everywhere
    and I cant find it.
    its the first mission where xion isn't wearing a hood and you have to fight darkside.
