Magical Date [Mini-game Compilation/Arcade Dating Sim Game]
Potential Pros & Cons PROS: - Very Affordable - Nice blend of action and dating - It's two-players - Most mini-games run at 60fps - Over a dozen mini-games - Quite challenging, with several variations to the mini-games - It has an unlockable or two - This game has four nice "Zuntata" songs - Three ladies to date - You can play some Densha De GO! - Low-to-moderate knowledge of Japanese helps CONS: - Some sound effects sound like they came out of a tin can - Arcade Mode is a little longer than I'd like - Some mini-games can get REALLY hard - Translating the credits will be tough this time Bel States:"Magical Date is a shining example of doing something different and passing with flying colors. It's almost flawless and a refreshing take on the whole dating sim franchise. Its got lots of mini-games, is loads of fun, looks great, and has just a light touch of the stuff that mundane graphic novels revel in, but fortunately, this game doesn't. Also, if you haven't noticed already, the game is even two players, so you can fight for those girls with a friend. Magical Date is a terrific game that, like many Japan-only games, should have been released OUTSIDE Japan. If you find this game out there after reading this little excerpt and love it, I hope you'll say "Bel Cain sent ya!". That would make my day. "Game Screenshots
