Kanuchi: Futatsu no Tsubasa (Kanuchi: Two Wings) is a fantasy blacksmithing otome game developed by Vingt-et-un Systems and published by Idea Factory under their Otomate label. The ‘kanuchi’ part of the title is an in-game title for the king’s exclusive blacksmith. The ‘two wings’, I suppose, refer to the fact that our heroine Aki has […]
Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies – Capcom has redeemed itself just a little bit
Yay, finished! For once the final case didn’t drag on forever and ever until I was sick of it. And so, for once, I’m not going to spoil the end of the game. You’ll have to play it yourself to see the final, shocking conclusion. And I do recommend it to anyone who likes the […]
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Guesswork and Speculation (spoilers)
