I'm down with that brother
Nintendo of Europe have been pretty generous this year. For some people they will have gotten Monster Hunter free as part of the buy three games get one free deal, anyway.

I don`t think I know anyone who would be getting a 3DS, but if I`ve got a code for a free download I may try and sell it on.

Any hopes of the US seeing a DQVII remake anytime soon? It'll be a drat shame if not. That was one of my favorite games as a kid and the remake looks awesome. It's such a fun game in a campy sort of way.

It's my favorite Dragon Quest game, so I hope it's coming state side. It'll solidify my purchase of a 3DS.

No Luigi nose bubble in the US version, and fewer sparkle star things for some reason. Also the text at the bottom reminding Americans not to blind their children with 3D.

It defaults to stretched out full-screen (which some people detest, but I've not noticed it to be that bad), but if you hold Select when booting the game, you'll get it properly gameboy sized, complete with a Game Boy Color frame around the picture.

Since I'm here, you guys want some news? The new SMT IV went straight ahead to the very top of Japan's sale charts, which isn't surprising. What is, however, is that Nintendo are doing a full localization (including translation) in South Korea themselves. That shows how much they want to tap that market and how they think this is one of the games to do it.

I was using RF Generation for a while, but they don't have some of my imports in their database, and I got lazy adding those games in. Now I use Google Docs Spreadsheet whatever thing, and it's okay I guess.

The top of the bat's wing is clipped too. It looks like a rounded corner white rectangle was created that fills most of that area. Maybe it's a placeholder location for a sticker/tag/something that will be getting added to the finished packaging?

I have no idea why they bother because unless the game is a text heavy rpgs, most kids play these games fine. I think it's actually due to a stupid law or some poo poo.

ninja edit: yep http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=23051 it's a stupid rear end law and I don't give a poo poo but you know, Quebec, we're that dumb.

Hey, man, I distinctly remember this being an episode of Spongebob. :colbert:

I didn't even notice the bat and the sparkles. That is weird.

I was going to defend the snot bubble thing, because in Japan the snot bubble is sort of the universal "this dude's sleeping" sign, while in America (and other regions), it's a trail of ZzZzZz. Then I stopped myself and questioned why the hell a snot bubble is a sign of being asleep, because I've never seen or heard of anyone who blows snot bubbles in their sleep. But then I stopped myself to question why our symbol for sleep is a trail of Zs. Best I can figure is that it represents the sound of snoring, but that's not really what snoring sounds like and most people don't snore in the first place, so...

I guess I just don't get any of it in the first place!

Canada has a law requiring it.

America doesn't have anything like a law requiring Spanish.

It is kinda silly though, they might even bring in more sales with some Spanish. And European boxes tend to have English, French, Spanish and German, so its clearly possible. But its a matter of least effort to get by.

Basically if you have Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on 3DS you'll soon have a recommendation code in your Club Nintendo, if you give this to someone who's registered a 3DS between now and August 5th they can convert that code into a free download copy of MH3U. So if you're getting a 3DS over the summer this might be worth looking at since I imagine there'll be a few people in this thread who'll have recommendation codes.

This is a crazy awesome offer. If they had this in the US, this would be my reason to go grab a copy immediately even though I've put it off. But, then I'd never get anything done if I could hunt monsters at home and while away.

So I just purchased a 3DS XL along with Zelda and Luigi Dark Moon. I am VERY impressed. I bought this because I wanted to do some ghost hunting with Luigi and I have never played Oracle of Time (I know) and both games so far along with the system is very impressive. I also downloaded the demo of Fire Emblem and holy poo poo is that game gorgeous.

I bought it for the games referenced above, but also bought it because I am heading to Playa Del Carmen soon and have a long plane ride up ahead, but I had to have put in about 8 hours so far in the last couple of days.

Great little system. (Now I just need to add more friends and will most likely purchase the new Animal Crossing. Haven't played it since the Gamecube version and it was so addicting.

Glad to hear that you're impressed - the 3DS XL really was a game-changer for me, at least. The game-library is pretty great already ( and is only getting better ), so I'm sure that you won't regret your purchase later on. Heck, I'm spending most of my gaming-time with the system, and I never thought that a handheld could become a major time-stealer.

Oh and I, too, need to get OoT 3D as soon as possible.

I'm working on OoT 3D right this very minute because I never played it when it was on the N64.

Wait, is that really the cover art for the US version?

I mean, I get the ugly "3D Warning" since that's apparently forced on everybody, but that "Play in French and English thing" takes away from the boxart.

Though I wonder if this means the back of the box will be dual languages as well like Brawl or Prime 3.
