I noticed this negligible issue in Retro Game Challenge, but it popped up again in The Dark Spire, which released last week. The typeface Atlus used for most of the first-person RPG’s text has scrunched up Ms and Ws — again, it’s a minor annoyance.

Gukid cared enough about it, though, to hack a fix that replaces the Ms, Ws, and punctuation. As usual, you’ll need a copy of The Dark Spire’s ROM to apply the patch, one that we advise you to acquire through legal methods.

It’s interesting to see someone clean up these issues, however trivial they might seem to others . Apparently, there are several other DS games wiith the same problem:

• Air Traffic Chaos
• Avalon Code
• The Dark Spire
• Retro Games Challenge
• Suikoden Tierkreis

Buy: The Dark Spire ($27.99)
