Recently got a copy of the game, but the sensor isn’t doing anything in the game I tested both real sun and a UV light. But nothing happens.

Usually check on wallapop and they’re a 100 or more around Spain, which is fair. After a long time I logged in yesterday and saw a 2nd hand store that had items there, it was 80!

Solar sensor is fine probably, havent tested in direct sun but in light shadow it marks one bar in the meter :D

Cant wait to get home this weekend and play megaman bn 5 in the DS with the SolCross and the missions. Already had boktai 1 but shared content is more limited.

Since both are european I hope it works. Never shared here, but I check up sometimes and like that there is actually activity.

May the sun be in your hearts!

Recently I stumble upon the Kura5 fan game, which reminded me of the Boktai series. So I replayed 2 and 3 for the third time as well as complete 1 for the first time, and I notice that the BN series and Boktai has a lot of crossover (BN 4 5 6 and Boktai 2 3). But they are the properties of different company, why do they get a lot of crossover between them?

I’m an author. Since I was 12 (I’m 31 now) I’ve been a fan of Boktai. My first tap into writing was a fan fiction of Boktai. However as I aged and went to school, I became my own original fiction writer. I began writing a series of a novels, the first of which is set to release next year. Inspired by Boktai but completely original, save for an homage. My novel is a mature dark fantasy loaded with horror, adventure, and fantastical elements. I invite you to follow my author pages on Facebook, Instagram, X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok @JAndrewVela. I love our Boktai community and how much we still are in love with the games. I hope you all join as fans of my series…Sun Umbra.

Just as the title states, the emulator version of Boktai 1 doesn't seem to save in the options at the title screen. I'm at the portion of the game where you get the Kaamos curse, and you have to use the dew from the solar tree exactly at dawn to lift the curse. I'm not able to change the time to that point, and I dread to have to get up that early in hopes I turn it on at the right time lol. Is there a way to fix the emulator time setting?

So does Lunar Knights have some version of the Pile Driver? I actually liked dragging the coffin back then purifying the Immortals in Boktai 1-3. I haven't played Lunar Knight but am aware that it is in-game weather based.

I played this game back when I was 13 or so, found it at a half price books for 25 dollars. Now, some 15 years later, I got a flash cart and swapped enough emblems around to finally see the secret boss. I can't wait to build 99 full floors and finally unlock those extra parts!

He has a counter for everything, what the hell 😭

i cant find any special protect box to store a boktai cardrige so I was wondering how other people having the game store it

I just got Boktai The Sun In Your Hand recently and when I save the game then turned off to play later. When I got back to it, my progress is gone. Am I doing something wrong or is there a Specific area for it?

Hi everyone, I played Lunar knights a long time ago and while i recently modded my 2DS i realized it had prequels which, for whatever reason, i never knew about.

Now I've read a lot about the solar sensor but since I don't have a GBA and it is possible for .gba to be exported as .cia for the virtual console i wanted to ask if the VC on the 2DS/3DS has built in support for the solar sensor or if I'd actually need to install the patches?

For Boktai 3 I'll wait until the fan translation is finished (even tho i assume it's never gonna be translated into languages other than English XD)
