Yes, I too want this game.
I look it looks pretty different, and am definately wanting a change in games for my DS. I am tired of ALL the Puzzlers I have, and am wanting actual games now.
I know the next fews months though will make me happy since ALL KINDS of games are getting released this winter season.
Did anyone buy this today? I have read that it is supposed to be released today, but the GameStop that I preordered it at said that they aren't going to get their shipment until tomorrow.
I got my Game Informer in the mail yesterday with the review of this inside, and it got a 7 from the main reviewer and a 6 from the second opinion, which pretty well sucks. However, the things they said in the review were not enough to make me think that I won't like the game. I'm a huge fan of Survival Kids on GBC, and even considered picking up the couple of copies I'd seen locally, in case Lost in Blue drives their value up. Anyway, this game is the reason I bought a DS in the first place (which is looking like a better decision every day, what with Castlevania, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, Trauma Center, and Animal Crossing coming out relatively soon), so I hope it is good.
It will be in stores tomorrow. Im buying it after college is over. NP gave it a good review, saying that if you get bored its your own fault for not exploring enough.
GameCrazy said they would get it tommarow.
All my meseta if you can guess what CMTZ stands for.

You guys have to keep in mind that any site that lists a release date lists it when it's SHIPPED. You almost ALWAYS can find it in stores the next day. The exceptions are the HUGE AAA releases (Madden, GTA, Zelda, etc.) when stores will pay extra to rush it and you can get it that night.

I finally found it today, at Gamecrazy. I called and they had one left so I asked the guy to hold it for ten minutes until I got there. Once there, I was talking to him and they only got three in! What's up with that?
I'm off to play Lost In Blue!
Picked mine up today too, alongside a brand new DS. Really enjoying Lost in Blue so far and have just learned the 2nd and 3rd things you can make (trying to keep it spoiler free). The only thing that's sort of annoying is lugging the girl around and trying to figure out which foods go best together. So far the best thing I've found to make are combinations with carrot/potato and the coconuts. It gives you a boost in food and water at the same time.
Now to the bad news: At the very bottom of the touchscreen on my DS there's a dead pixel, so I'll be taking it back either tonight or sometime later this week. Sucks.
So far I like the game alot. I enjoy the whole open island thing, and I like hunting for new foods and such. I hate how you are constantly needing to either drink water and eat food though. Also having to go through so much menus and stuff just to give the girl food is a pain. Im holding out until she can make her own food.
I got mad when I went exploring and went pretty far, got poisoned, lost all my water and had 4 hp left, then I got dehydrated, died, and lost a damn good amount of playtime.
The game seems really innovative though, reminds me of a mix between Ico and Harvest Moon.
I cant wait until this dumb girl can do some stuff on her own though....
I had mine preordered at a GameStop, and they only got three in as well, two of which were preordered (including mine).
My day yesterday was busy, so unfortunately I have not gotten to play it yet. As soon as I get done with the internet business that I'm currently attending to, that's at the top of the priority list, though.
Yeah it looks like a sweet game, I wanna pick this up.
These are the kind of games the DS needs.
I'm going to go pick it up today.
I haven't played a decent adventure game in AGES, so hopefully I will enjoy this.
I played a bit more today, and I am beginning to get the hang of it. You basicaly need to prepare ahead of time before you go out on big long journeys.
If you like harvest moon games you will like this game.
I made the mistake of pre-ordering this on Amazon.com - they must have bumped me off for their second shipment, because it got delayed until Oct 4th or something.
You are startled by a grim snarl. Before you, you see 1 Red dragon. Will your stalwart band choose to (F)ight or (R)un?
Exactly! It's kind of annoying, but it gets easier as you go on. You basically have to fill up on food and water, go to bed, go get some food close by, fill up again, get water and then go on the all-night expeditions out to the middle of nowhere. Another helpful (no-brainer) tip is to avoid things like the breadfruit and pick up things like papayas, pineapples, etc. instead, since they give you a boost in both food and water instead of just food. If it weren't for that nagging bit...girl starving while you're out, you could almost survive indefinitely on those fruits alone.
On another note: Anyone figured out any decent recipes? I don't have any in my journal just yet. Also, anyone find any good use for mushrooms, or which ones are good and bad? They've been about 50/50 for me and never do much for me, so I just leave 'em there.
Im liking this game alot more now, as I now have alot more things in the cave to help manage better than before. Also I read that each persona game is different when it comes to mushrooms, like each one has a different effect. I found that in my game oragne mushroom give me temporary boosted strength.
Played it a bit last night, got to day 3, enjoying it.
I'll second the request for more receipes that people have found.
Still looking for more tools I can make.....

Im on day 17. Belive me all of a sudden you will be able to make alot of stuff. IDK if you have yet, but here is something u might be able to make (POSSIBLE SPOILERS) go all the way right across the river and at the end is a small cliff to jump on and grab bamboo which you can make a spear out of to catch fish. (END SPOILER)
Believe me the longer you play the less of a hassle it is. I also want some recepies, best one so far gave me +31 to each character, I believe it was some sorta "black bean" thing.
Going to pick up this game tomorrow, been looking forward to it since E3!
DS is DeStroying the competition right now! I wish PSP had more good titles out...
I was checking this game out at work today as well as Lunar and it looks awesome! It's defenitely one I want to pick up. Man, the !@#$en DS just keeps kickin ass. It's stabbing my poor bank account to bloody death.
