Is that a copy of Airu de Puzzle (PSP) in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

OK, so the header above is kind of lame. I couldn't think of anything better, though, so I'm sticking with it.

I do have a copy of Airu de Puzzle, the Monster Hunter-themed match-three puzzler that Capcom released for the PSP some time ago.


I actually bought the copy seen in the photos above and below shortly after it was released (some while ago), but I haven't mentioned it here until now because, well, it took me a long time to snap some photos of it.


Would you believe that I've yet to play the damn thing? Yeah, I'll bet those of you who've been coming here for a while now would believe it.


Anyway, its cover illustration is pretty nice, don't you think? I also like the art that appears on the back of its instruction manual.



The illustrations that appear inside the manual are pretty cute, too. I wish there were more of them, especially since the manual as a whole isn't all that exciting.

I have a feeling the game itself is more exciting--or at least more interesting. I'll let you know one way or another after I've finally played it, which hopefully will happen shortly.

Oh, glad to hear you grabbed this one! Since I got both of the Airu Mura games when I was in Japan, I ultimately gave it a pass (it was still pretty expensive, too!). Can't wait to hear what you think of it!

I'm just going to post this so people can see the box-art more clearly if you don't mind.

I'm surprised it was expensive in Japan, Anne, as the copy I bought set me back maybe $14? Crazy. Anyway, I'll definitely let you know what I think about it!

Don't mind at all, Sam--especially since my photo doesn't exactly give folks a straight-on view of the art.

Nice! I probably didn't look hard enough. I'm surprised how much the prices can vary store to store over there.

Ah, yes, I've heard that--from Sean of the Famicomblog, among others. Weird!
