So, Zero's theme in MvC3. I was actually expecting his theme from Megaman X3 to be used, but his theme from X2 is a pretty good choice itself and I'm not going to complain about it.

I also recently decided to dig through the Wii Shop Channel and look for some old games to try picking up, and eventually settled on Shining in the Darkness, the very first entry in Sega's Shining series (which I've played Shining Force and Shining Soul II to varying degrees). Haha, that was a big mistake...a big mistake. The gameplay is a first-person dungeon crawl similar to the Etrian Odyssey series and you're required to keep your own maps (on actual paper since you don't have a DS touchscreen), but the battle system is laughably bad; facing multiples of the same monster? You can only select the entire group and are stuck hoping your character targets the individual monster you want to hit. That and the game doesn't tell you that you can't equip until you actually try to get it or put it on. Extremely-limited inventory space (8 item slots per character, including current equips?) doesn't exactly help anything, either.

I should probably stick to Etrian Odyssey III to get my RPG fix right now, and then later this week I'll be starting up Golden Sun: Dark Dawn as well since I have a fully-prepaid reserve for it at the local GameStop. And a friend of mine is already trying to convince me to get Phantasy Star Portable 2, too, but that really needs to wait until my next paycheck so I can be sure I'm able to afford another new game.

I do have some RP-related things I want to complain about too, mostly having to do with my own feelings about it recently. But, since I've gotten complaints that RP is apparently the only thing I'm really actually willing to talk about (it's not), I'm keeping a lid on that for now.

In other news, has anyone else noticed that Alestance from PureZC has been uploading MP3 conversions of my MIDIs to tindeck? Yes, I frequently Google my own usernames. While I'm glad someone likes my stuff enough to actually do this, would it hurt to be sure it actually sounds right first? Some of the MP3s have parts that are missing entirely (Stargazing, I'm looking at you), and in the case of more-recent songs like Eight Trials or Return the Gauntlet, I'd have to say that the general choice of instruments is kind of bad. It would probably help to get some of the song titles right, too.
