MBE Lead

Three of Namco Bandai's Xbox Alive titles received updates terminal week, and nosotros've tracked downwards their details. First off, the Pac-Man version one.2 and I Dearest Katamari version i.1 updates add Japanese language support to both games. Good timing, because Windows Phone 7 launched in Japan in August. Beyond the localization, both games remain identical to their previous versions.

More exciting is More Encephalon Exercise's version 1.i update. Here are its release notes:

Enhanced graphics
Improved responsiveness of swipe gestures
Fixed minor bugs: Achievements and date recording

Do the graphics wait better? Maybe just a chip. Just the of import thing is those bug fixes. More Brain Exercise previously independent a Broken Accomplishment – "It'southward Not Temporary," which requires players to earn 100 points for Temporal Lobe exercises during Daily Grooming. The Achievement is now fixed; players who have already met its requirements just need to complete one more day of Encephalon Training to unlock it.

Every bit for the date recording issues, previously the game would sometime skip ahead three calendar days. This fabricated it incommunicable for players to complete training during the missed days. Thankfully that will no longer be a trouble.

Oddly, the game's start up screen nevertheless displays an ad for Xbox 360 Kinect title Body and Encephalon Connection that says "Coming in 2022" even though information technology'southward been out for most of the year.More than Brain Exercise also desperately needs a "Restart Exercise" option in the Pause menu. Still, it's smashing to meet that Namco didn't leave the game hanging with a broken Achievement and other nasty bugs.

All three of these Namco titles price $4.99 each. You tin can find Pac-Man here (Zune link), I Love Katamari hither, and More Brain Practice here on the Marketplace.

A high five to anyone who tin tell me what show the papercraft in the picture is from!
