How to Play GetBackers Dakkanya: Metropolis Dakkan Sakusen!
Quick start
Starting a new story from the title, Ban and Ginji are hungry and searching for food in the city. Go north to the street and check the trash can by the orange shop to the west to trigger the first battle. Next, when Al asks you to find the pet TARE, go back south and go to the Taco Mart at the east end of town and defeat the men surrounding you. You can recover your HP and SP by talking to Al, so use this before exploring.
Controls
Cross button: Map movement/menu selection. A: Conversation/Investigation/Decision. B: Cancelled. START: Main menu for status, party, tools, settings, and save. R: Talk to your companion in the field. In battle, use the cross button and A to select attack, defense, tool, replacement, or escape, and press the corresponding L or R at the moment the third tag input lamp lights up. SELECT is not used in normal operation.
