Animal Crossing New Leaf Behind the Horrors 1: Hitokui Village

I really haven't been doing much on here or Youtube. I don't think doing Let's Plays are my kind of thing for now, but I want to keep my Youtube just in case I feel like posting something. Anyway, I got Animal Crossing New Leaf a couple weeks ago and I have been playing it like crazy. I unlocked the Dream Suite and found some pretty creepy villages that I enjoyed not only because of how eerie they are, but also because of the work and time put into them. I wanted to do something here that involved Animal Crossing, but I didn't know what. I was thinking about doing a weekly journal, but I've already gotten decently far in the game. I finally decided to share my experiences in these creepy villages. The first one I will show is called Hitokui Village, a cannibal village. I will also note that pretty much all these villages were made in Japan, so human villagers will still speak Japanese. I also will post the dream code for them as I post them as I highly recommend going to them. The code for this village is 2600-1856-4772.



Okay, so we start naturally as we wake up in a dream world.


  









So we're in town now. Looks pretty normal. Also note the
clothes and equipment near the tree.




Get the shovel from Lloid. It will be important later.




As for those clothes, we get two different outfits. The one 
I'm wearing is obviously a police outfit. The other one
is a cake dress and a broken umbrella.




The tools you get are a megaphone and a toy hammer.




Here's our first house we go to.







We go inside and we see it's a decent looking cafe. Neat!




If we go to the room to our right we find the bathroom.




I guess while I'm searching I'll get some free food.




We go to the back and find the kitchen.




I guess the seafood platter was coming soon.




Alright! Toast, sushi, donuts, stew, and stir-fry? Seems 
like my kind of place.




Now when we go back to the main dining room and 
go to the left side room we find what looks like a 
V.I.P. room with a little chocolate fountain.




Now that I'm done with the chocolate fountain I'll go
upstairs to see... um.. oh dear. What this, a party room 
or something? Awesome music though.




Okay, we're done upstairs so let's see what wonders await us
down... ummm...




...a decapitated torso on top of a bloody knife along with a
bloody apron...


 

...a rotting skeleton under some shackles and some more
bloody knives...




...abandoned shoes, baby cradles, and mental carnival
music...




Uh, let's just forget that and go on. 




Goodbye, psychos, see you never.




Time to take out some strange feeling by attacking
villagers with my toy hammer.




Found the chef and he doesn't look shady at all. 




The second house. 





Hmm... It's a church. 




Talk to this glasses woman. 




Go to the left wing room and we find a living area with
some crappy furniture.



I'll take my mind off stuff by watching some t.v.
oh... never mind.



Moving over to the right wing we find what looks 
like the confession hall.



Sigh... You got that right.



Now to move to this secret room behind the organ.



AND IT'S... the graveyard?


Um... Yeah...



Moving upstairs we find... uh, something slightly
disturbing that I think we shouldn't be snooping
around for...



FLY AWAY BIRDIE! IT'S YOUR ONLY CHANCE!!!



Okay, downstairs will probably be more disturbing and.. oh
it's not that bad. Wait, what's behind that?



Hmm... Should have guessed.



Run away from that creepy church as fast as possible 
or the glasses lady might strike me down. While running
I found the third house.




Walking in. Doesn't look too bad. 



Left wing. Still doesn't look that bad.



Oops. I was wrong.



Right wing. Crap, this is even worse!



To the back room.



Hm. No comment yet.



I'll admit. That's awesome.



Almost every time there's a spooky story, there's always
a doll in it!



Going upstairs and... spell tags cover the walls, there are 
demonic wardrobes to the side and a sewing machine is 
working on it's own.


Time to go downstairs. Looks okay... wait. Those are
spell tags... and I think they're all covered in blood.



I'm out of there!



Move upward for a weird bandaged guy.



Blood. Just when it wasn't creepy enough. Wait... never mind.




The final house. I'm prepared for anything.



Hmm... fancy.



Hospital beds? Dividers?



Oh, it's a hospital. But wait, I'm scared of hospitals.



A lot of crap over here, but like at the size of that crab!



Back room. Cool it's a lab complete with suspicious music.



Nothing much back here, but, cool a Metroid!



Yeah nothing interesting.



Wait, what's that?


HOLY CRAP WHAT IS THAT?! WHAT. IS. THAT?!



Screw that!



Now we go upstairs and... OH COME ON!!!



A crime scene! I must act!



No, idiot don't lay on it!



Yes, let's please do that.




Forget this! I'm out of here! Going downstairs!



Now let's see what... well this is weird.



I know the skeleton's back there, but who's...



Okay I see it. It's... a werewolf?!



I'm out of this slaughterhouse!



Look for a monument on the east side of the town. Behind it is a wet suit.




Dive about here.




You find a present on the island below. Inside it a fortune #4, 
which is a bad fortune saying today is not your day.



Found this near town hall. 



How about no.



Bonus: The dog is talking about the church and
the glasses lady in the church.



Trust me. You don't want to know.

Return and Surprise

It's been a while, but I want to say that I'm back. School's out again, so I have more extra time again.  I also want to introduce my new Youtube channel. With it I plan to do various video reviews and playthroughs. My first project is a playthrough on Pokemon Ruby. Here is a link to my channel.

http://www.youtube.com/user/DynamoRox4Sure

Please show your support if you would like. In my first two videos, I may mumble a bit because I'm not used to recording. However, I feel that I'm beginning to get over it.

Review: Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon



I know I said my next my next review would be Ocarina of Time, but since I recently got this game and I have some extra time, why not?






Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon is the latest game in Mario series and the sequel to Luigi's Mansion. It brings back the fantastic charm that Luigi's Mansion had and brings a little bit more with it.




















The story begins in EvershadeValley, a home to many friendly ghosts, where Professor E. Gadd is doing research on ghosts with the assistance of some friendly but mischievous ghosts. When out of nowhere, King Boo appears and takes the Dark Moon, a strange, gem-like moon that keeps the native ghosts of the valley friendly, and breaks it into six pieces.


The Dark Moon


Upon breaking it, all ghosts in the valley, including E. Gadd's assistants, become aggressive and wreak havoc across the valley. The only one who can stop King Boo's plan is Luigi, who already defeated the undead king once. E. Gadd and Luigi get one Dark Moon piece which landed near E. Gadd's lab. Afterwards, Luigi must collect the last five pieces, which landed in certain mansions across the valley. Only then will the ghosts return to normal.












Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon is nearly similar to the original title. You capture ghosts in neat mansions with Luigi's Poltergust 5000. Each mansion has its own interesting theme. Unlike the original, catching ghosts is slightly different. In Luigi's Mansion, you just simply shine Luigi's flashlight towards a ghost and the suck it up with the Poltergust. Now, he must use a new attachment called the Strobulb, which emits a flash that stuns ghosts. The Poltergust 5000 also has a feature called Dark-Light, which allows Luigi to find invisible surroundings. The Game Boy Horror has also been updated, now being a new gadget called the Duel Scream, which looks like the original DS. One downside to it is that the first person mode is taken out, but the Duel Scream still shows you your map and allows you to contact E. Gadd. The first person mode technically does return, but it's kind of limited and involves peeping through windows and holes into other rooms (see picture of the garage below).


Poltergust 5000



Duel Scream












The downside to the game is that each mansion is broken down into missions. It's not a big or terrible thing, it just makes free roaming the mansions more difficult, which was something I liked to do in the original. Basically, after you complete a certain task in each mission, you have to return to the lab. Even though it's not my kind of thing, it does help organize the game better. Also there is and unlock able time attack mode in each mansion that can be treated as a free roam if you wish.

The game also comes with a really fun co-op multiplayer called the Scare Scraper, which up to four people can play. Each person must play as Luigi and capture all the ghosts on the their current floor in order to advance. It is available for both online and local use and is very fun. However, it is bother bother trying to join a co-op game. Not sure if that's just me or the way the game was designed.

Playing in the Scare Scraper














The graphics in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon are really good and make good use of the 3DS and its capabilities. The mansions are slightly more goofier looking in design compared to the one in the first game. See below:

Dark Moon
Room in newer mansion












Each mansion has a good design and are fun to explore. The characters and ghosts are really good looking and look better than the original game in my opinion. Overall, the graphics are really good and make full use of the 3DS.













In Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, there is a lot more music in the game than before. Instead of just hearing Luigi's constant whistling, now we get a tune in nearly every place available. Most of the time, like in Luigi's Mansion, it's usually the same song just re done. The songs are very good, mysterious and sometimes a little creepy. They fit the mansions perfectly and are impressive. Also, for the record, Luigi still whistles but not as much as before.














Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon is a fun game that continues the Luigi's Mansion story. With its cool mansions, interesting story and more along the line, it is definitely a game that should be added to your 3DS library.
