’The sky is looked up at far and people consider what．’ - Passage from the manual of Blue Wing Blitz． Ah blitz． It’s an appropriate term for this game as it consists of swift military offensives with intensive aerial bombardment． Squaresoft was one of the main (and key) supporters of Bandai’s ill-fated line of WonderSwan handhelds and it’s where they made various ports／upgrades of some of their popular games． However to a slightly lower extent it’s also where Squaresoft took ’gambles’ by releasing unusual or unique games that won’t be found on any other systems． Their first original title Wild Card took playing with cards to a whole new level and their next original title Blue Wing Blitz took the militaristic theme of Front Mission (unsurprisingly as largely the same team worked on BWB) but altered the strategy formula and deals with aerial warfare and aircrafts． Neither game sold particularly well (it’s stated BWB sold about 20000 copies in its first year)． While the game features well-presented cutscenes and stills with an overall decent but simple graphical interface (with characters being designed by Nobuyuki Ikeda) and a decent soundtrack (composed by Kumi Tanioka) it was actually a pretty involved handheld strategy game that probably deserved a little more credit． Blue Wing Blitz tells the tale of a 16 year old rookie pilot named Keid who was enlisted into a rebel force unit for his raw potential to stop an expansionist group known as the Ordia Empire b．．．／b

Here is an interesting game．．．and from Bandai no less． Okay perhaps it’s wrong to assume that Bandai’s games aren’t interesting． They are but I will say that they publish and／or develop too many crappy licensed games for their own good． If it wasn’t a million and one Dragon Ball games back in the day it was some other less-than-stellar product． However．．．Bandai DID come through every now and then they published ’Shin Kidou Senshi Gundam W： Endless Duel’ (people who have played it will know what I’m talking about) for the Super Famicom and it was a great game． ’Mighty Morphin Power Rangers： The Fighting Edition’ was also good． The number of original content from Bandai．．．In my experiences (could be wrong) they hardly make anything that isn’t related to an anime cartoon or some other thing． For that reason Star Hearts (assuming it isn’t based on anything in particular) is quite a surprise from them． It also happens to be rather cool too I haven’t bothered translating the story much (or in other words at all) but I can tell you some general things． You can play as either a boy or a girl (Danda is the boy Taama／Tarma is the girl) and set their ages (from age 2 to 56)． They have slightly different base stats from each other but the general story seems the same． You are on a quest to meet／find various spirits who have lost their way and help people to gain various powers to restore the balance between the various nations． One such spirit you will meet is Nymph a b．．．／b

Original Air Date： July 01st 2009 Another day another video or two or three or．．． who knows？ Anyway while Squaresoft made numerous ports of their popular titles to the WonderSwan they did make a few original games as well and Wild Card like many Squaresoft titles is not short of the nuances that make many Square games popular nor is it short of innovations． However this game is clearly one of a love／hate nature． Do you like games that give you complete control of your characters？ Do you like the SaGa series and its free-roaming ways？ Did you hate games like Unlimited SaGa where luck played as much of a factor as skill？ If you answered yes to any of those then you’ll want to keep your distance from this one． Wild Card is all about the luck of the draw and just about everything is done in card-style． The characters are in cards you make decisions with cards you travel with cards even the amount of time you spend in towns can be attributed to a deck of cards (you have limited town time)． Not only that but you have a wide margin between success and failure． The game is more about accepting quests and finding secrets than actual storytelling so the game is story-lite． The gameplay is simple enough to grasp but it does offer some degree of flexibility． Starting the game you answer a questionnaire that determines who your main character will be． From there you can go to town to take up quests and get characters who appear at different locations at random b．．．／b
