And like all word puzzles in the series, this tripped me the hell up when I first played it. This guy offers this mnemonic as our only clue. Due to the security emergency, the door's locked and requires a password. That can only mean one thing!Īnd now, a pointless word puzzle. No, it isn't rough seas, this is a luxury cruise liner after all and the skies are clear on top of that. Unfortunately, the fight is interrupted before it can even begin by the ship shaking back and forth. No, I'm not kidding.Īnd I realize that by mentioning that, I've spoiled who our next teammate is, but come the hell on, he's the only other character on the ship with a unique sprite, any idiot could have guessed. However, his Team ProtoMan counterpart has the distinction of having unquestionably the stupidest name in the whole series. Yes, this is a silly Native American stereotype character. Strong, fond of battle, makes fun of everyone else? People like that are just the best. Have we mentioned he's Native Netopian? Oh well, his personality is agreeable enough. It can buy you a shitload of awesome chips and Navi customization options though, so given the resources, yeah, rich people just suck at NetBattling. Money can't buy you happiness, and in MMBN, it can't buy you victory either. Meanwhile, Native American (Netopian?) NPC guy has beaten the wealthy NPC into the floor. Oh sure, richy-rich folk can't spare more than pocket change, can they? And no, I'm not even going to bother showing where the stamps are, you have 3 fucking screens to search and you even get obvious hints. Oh a much smaller ship, mind you, but it's tradition. This generic old man sprite being used for the captain of the ship even gets a justification. Much like the Airplane from MMBN2, the NPCs on board the ship are given a bit more characterization. Which doesn't mean we can't bug the NPCs anyway! Yai and Glide have set the precedent for how effective wealthy operators and Navis are. Oh well, the game's stuffed full of game-breakers already, screw the Chip Trader.įirst order of business! I'm flying, Colonel, I'm flying!Īnyway, to familiarize ourselves with the ship and pass time, there's a stamp hunt.īehind this guy, note the custom sprite NPC, there's also a NetBattle matchup available, but it's currently in use, so stamp collecting we go. So save-scumming the Chip Trader is out of the question because it would take way too fucking long. This isn't the emulator, I recall being very annoyed with the time it took to save whenever I did when I played it on the DS. Contrast that with the nearly instant saves of the GBA games. I honestly can't imagine why, considering that this game is pretty much just a port of both versions of MMBN5 with a few extra features slapped in, but saving in DTDS takes around 15 seconds or so. However, the auto-save function of Chip Traders makes this impractical for DTDS. There's a Chip Trader Special over here, and normally this would result in a bonanza of save-state abuse. This is like some buddy-cop show, with the grizzled Colonel being exasperated with the overenthusiastic incompetence of his rookie partner. Lan probably thinks highly of Colonel for obvious reasons. This conversation is word-for-word identical in Team ProtoMan version, I think. This way we can catch him in the act and have harder evidence, after all. Colonel's advice whizzes straight over Lan's head. The inherent humor of pairing the stern, pragmatic Colonel with the idiotic Lan rears its head. After all, he hasn't done anything yet, and since the ship has left port, it's not like the agent will be going anywhere soon. Well, that was quick, let's go apprehend the Nebula agent! Well, no. For crying out loud, the Nebula agent HISSES.Īs if you needed it drilled in, even Lan catches on. Right on cue, this guy is rebuffed from entering the engine room, the NPC saying that it's off-limits to passengers. This isn't a pleasure trip though, we're here to investigate possible Nebula activity. And Recurring Fat Guy shows up for no particular reason, his father apparently brought him along. And this is fair warning, you won't have any access to the internet on board the ship and can't leave until the scenario wraps up.Īs one would expect, the ship is as luxurious as possible. It's a good thing she doesn't know what about happened to MegaMan. Her linguistic skills are already corroding, and she's hallucinating the presence of her husband. Staring emptily at the inactive TV, Haruka begins showing signs of encroaching insanity. Not like Lan has any experience with hanging out with rich people, right?
