what's the status on this game? first they say it's deleted already and now it's back on print?

i couldn't find a copy anywhere a few months ago and now i see it everywhere.
Annoys the hell out of me when i buy a game immediately just because it's rare or out of production only to find it back in production a couple of months later.
It's not that i won't have bought the game if it wasn't rumoured to be deleted, it's just that i would have waited until i have time to play the game before deciding to buy it and not buy the game in a hurry, thinking i won't have a chance to get it anymore in the future.

any comments on this issue guys?

as for everyone's info, yeah i started playing this game and loving it even though it's rock hard.....i was refering more to Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow and Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney because they both have been sitting idle on my shelf since purchase.....no time for so many games!

anyone here knows how to get past the membrane operation? the one with triangular shapes and pins stuck to each corner of the triangular?

sorry but i can't figure out the pattern and also i get goosebumps from looking at it so i'm horribly distracted to concentrate on figuring out the pattern....

the goosebumps are too hard to endure so i definitely have to swallow my pride this time and cheat...or ask for help from you forumers. cheers!

any help appreciated.

[MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD!]

Got past the membrane surgery earlier and just finished the time trial operation where nurse Angie lines up five GUILT patients for you in a 10 minute time trial with only one healing touch to use. I only managed to finish three of patients before the time expires, anyone here manage complete all five patients?

[END OF SPOILERS ]

Wow, this game is really giving me a sense of accomplishment whenever i complete a tough surgery. It's one of the games that feels tough but not impossible to beat, the last time i felt that way about a game was probably DMC3. Aaah...all games should be this challenging.
Hopefully i have enough skills to finish the rest of the game...

nah.... PSP liberty stories was the one to start all this handheld ported to console business which frankly i'm not very fond of. Back then it was usually old console game being ported to the handheld which was alright and now even handheld games are ported to console?

i think part of the reason why the DS was so successful is because their software line-up consist of games made for handheld, rather than 'handheld games trying to look like console games'. Cooking mama, Lost in Blue, Trauma Center are some of these games which feels so right to play on a handheld.

Playing GTA and even the forthcoming MG:Portable Ops on a handheld may seem rather cool at the start but frankly, wouldn't you rather play these sort of games at the comfort of your home on a big screen television?

has anyone manage to finish this game? the card has not left my DS for months now not because i'm addicted to it but because it's so flaming hard that i have yet to complete it...

i'm currently at the final chapter and once i'm thru with the storyline mode i doubt i will ever play it again for a long time. i will probably pick and play some of the operations through the challenge mode but to go through the entire story mode again would be hell. Not to mention the number of DS games i bought but have yet to play like Castlevania and Phoenix Wright whereby the DS sequels to these are already on their way here...

welcome back to old skool challenge...time to wipe out my megaman games while i'm at it.

i thought this game was out of production long ago...where did you manage to find it? oh, don't tell me it's ahem version...

bidfordun, i do read manga but my scope is very small. anyways i just checked out the character art for the new Wii remake and i don't liked the fact that they changed artist for the game...bad move, the original DS game was quirkly japanese and the art style reflected that. this new art style..... i missed the big ole japanese eyes.

even though this thread is pretty much dead, i just wanted to share with you guys that i finally finished this game today

didn't think i had it in me, but it feels good to finish a tough game without resorting to cheats like i did earlier with viewtiful joe

anyway this is a top game, i urge everyone to give it a try, don't let the difficulty put you off.

glad you got pass that......welcome to the club!

if you think that was tough, wait till you get to the six stages of sin.....it's like one freaking boss battle after another!

did you play the x-missions after the credits?
