Should I try the first one? Or should I not bother? The first didn't seem interesting me based on the videos of it.

SOLAR BOY!
Nice Ennio inspired music.

The japanese comercial for Boktai was pretty sweet also so you should probably check that out too, Konami hasn't even released part 1 here but it's on the way, good timing though since the sun never really sets up here in June, advantage me

That was a fine trailer. The game looks rather interesting, too. Much more to it than the last one.

And I say do play the first one, Damian.

OTENKO!

I haven't watched the trailer, but I will...soon.

I really like the first one, even though I'm only about an hour in. Great sense of style and art direction. I love the sun "gimmick", I just wish it was more forgiving, because with my schedule, and the midwests weather, it makes it difficult for me to play for more than a few minutes every couple of weeks.

The first one is a great, great game. The only downside (and the thing that adds a lot to the charm, imo) is the NEED of the sun, which limits my playtime to a couple of hours at the beach on the weekends.

the video is running at 1 frame every 3 seconds. stupid streaming.

i love the first game. i just wish it didn't come out right as it started getting cold. by the time i got out of work, the sun would almost be gone.(

Works fine for me, and wow, that pretty much IS the best GBA trailer ever. Me want

[EightBit]

I cannot get the trailer at all. =(

I am really liking the first one, its quite fun and has puzzles that are actually challenging. I'd recomend that you get the first one and play it before getting the second. That way you can see if you can deal with needing the Sun(though you dont really need the sun for the most part, except for bosses).

Allow me to also chime in with my praise of the first one. I just finished it a few days ago and it's left a void in me that other GBA games can't quite fill. I don't get out nearly enough and I live in the perfect area for this kind of game; Boktai gave me many happy outside-in-the-sunshine memories.

I loved the parts where you had to cover up the light sensor to let only a little light in or none at all. I also loved the voice clip sound quality which is unprecedented for a cart (as somebody on here mentioned once), as well as the actual words themselves ("the sun is in your hand" "this is one *GREAT* Boktai day" "Otenko!"). Charming little game. I really wanted to clear the extra dungeon but I hate stuff where you can't save and have to do it all in one go. Too stressful like that.

I'll definitely be there on Day One for the sequel.

How long did it take to finish?
