It was released last June 25, 2009 by Idea Factory. Finally! There's an FY game that I can actually play. I missed the first two games on PS2 and since I don't own a PSP, I didn't play the game made for it either.It's quite awesome that there are two games in http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/poopsies/~3/7womJ0YRIs4/fushigi-yuugi-on-my-ds.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Coeli)2<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/poopsies/~4/7womJ0YRIs4" height="1" width="1"/>http://thepoopsies.blogspot.com/2009/09/fushigi-yuugi-on-my-ds.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3941315799695013325.post-4172167803624073856Sun, 13 Sep 2009 11:30:00 +00002009-09-13T19:36:45.449+08:00moviesmangaI recently got hooked to reading Crows and Worst - a manga by Takahashi Hiroshi.
