So a turn-based combat sort of thing?

It's first person turn based combat while you navigate a dungeon like Etrian Odyssey or Strange Journey. Same Developers too.

Picked up some Hori screen protectors for my xl today. The OP said to ask for advice in the thread if needed, which I figured was for the best so my dumb rear end doesn't screw it up. Instructions/tips?

I'm going to be really mad if the Animal Crossing XL bundle comes out in the states. I assumed we would never get it because it being Animal Crossing and all why would a bundle even come out here.

But I should have figured if the Fire Emblem and Pikachu 3DS' came out why wouldn't this one.

Guess I could sell the XL I just bought and upgrade up to the AC one.

If I've stubbornly waited this long to but an XL, and we get the AC bundle, all of my patience will be rewarded. I will continue to sit on my hands until June 9th, I guess.

What's great about a bundle/how would that be an upgrade?

I am going to have to wait three months to get one myself because the idea stresses out my wife too much.

It's cheaper. The bundles are the same price as just the system.

EDIT: They also usually have nifty case coloring, and come with the game pre-installed, but you knew that already.

The bundles all in my opinion look pretty gaudy. Even the SMT 4 which is the only way I would upgrade to an XL looks pretty ugly and tribal.

I just put some on my XL this weekend. Follow the directions in the link Saoshyant posted. That will help you get it aligned. Also keep some scotch tape handy. If you get an air bubble that won't go away, or a dust speck, use the tape to pull up a corner of the screen protector. Then you can either try to relay it in the case of air bubbles, or take a second piece of tape to dab at and remove the dust speck.

Until this weekend I never knew that air bubbles or specks of dust could induce literal rage in me. The tape fixed it though!

Got my imported Circle Pad Pro XL today. It makes the handheld look like a bit of a monster, but now I can buy and play RE: Revelations comfortably, so I think it is worth it.

Friday I'll get my hands on Fire Emblem, though. Only three days!

FWIW I found RE:R more comfortable without the CPP. But I also found the CPP to be kind of lumpy and weird to hold.

So, Soul Hackers is pretty sweet, the combat especially has this sort of crazy kinetic feel to it despite being 2D sprites on a moving background with turnbased gameplay, it's fairly fast paced which is surprising coming from Persona, Nocturne, and Digital Devil Saga. I like it.

The voice-acting is horrible though.

I wouldn't say it's awful but the voice acting definitely is kind of on the eh side.

Which is odd since I recognize most of the voices and they're usually good. Could just be lovely voice direction.

It's stilted in that sense that you can just imagine the voice actors sitting in a booth and reading out lines to no one but themselves, that just bothers me more than it does other people I guess.

Level-5 has their "black box" teaser up again which more than likely means they will be announcing Guild 02 (hopefully with all 3 games and not skipping the kaiju one).

And still nothing on Layton vs. Wright. :(

That's not entirely impossible, given we got the Mario DSi a few years back. Maybe you'll get lucky and they'll announce it in that new Nintendo Direct :shrug:.

Considering how they keep placing those designs upside down you can just wear purple glasses with a Luigi-themed XL! :v:

I have no idea what's up with online Spanish stores allowing one to preorder games that weren't announced (Layton vs Wright) or even exist (Majora Mask 3D). I assume speculation publicity is good?

Hey, bunch of news.

Ace Attorney 5 revealed the prosecutor character and that, thanks to the 3D models, there will be costume DLC. I don't know who would bother buying clown outfits or whatever for the characters in a visual novel-style game, but there you go.

Sega announced a sequel to Project Mirai, the Hatsune Miku game exclusive to the 3DS.



Not particularly interested and I'm someone who would buy the new PS3/Vita game in a heartbeat.

There's some magazine scans for the new Etrian Odyssey (not IV):







Easy difficulty is called "Picnic".

There's also a trailer for Art of Balance: Touch

Which is already available since a long time ago in Europe.
I spent a good 6 hours on this... it's a good game, but unfortunately I hit a ceiling because some levels are nearly unsolvable (your call if the fault lies in :argh: pixel perfect janky physics or in my ham hands :btroll:).
