I'm 30 coins from 400 and have done all of the surveys. Is there any other way to earn some coins? So frustrating, I really want that 18 game card case and I don't want to wait a month until Bravely Default comes out in NA because they will probably run out or something.

edit: glad to help

Yeah, but I'm glad they didn't. Probably never would have picked it up if it were more, and it is really short. Of course duck mode makes up for that.

Senran Kagura has a European release date, plus box art:

I've read in the past that European countries are more likely to actually buy retail versions of anime games than North Americans. There's a bunch of anime franchises with games, and almost always do they get dual releases in Europe while NA gets digital (see: Saint Seiya, One Piece, Fist of the North Star). NA only seems to get sure fire sellers, like that new 4-player DBZ game coming out this month.

Is this meant to actually be a good game or just a strange anime boob thing? I don't really get why bizarre stuff like this is being translated for EU but we still don't have a release date for Rune Factory 4 :(

One theory I've heard is that retailers like Wal-Mart and such don't want naughty games on their shelves, due to Nintendo having a reputation for being a family friendly game system and don't want negative publicity from over-protective mothers or religious groups. So they passed the puck to Nintendo's eShop. Sounds plausible to me, but since I don't living in the US of A, I can't say for certain.

Seems plausible. Atlus had to make an alt cover for Catherine to keep walmart from whining.

edit: Of course if a game I guaranteed to sell a billion copies in 6 hours, Walmart makes an exception.

Wal-mart also would only carry R-rated versions of movies (hence why you had DVD's released with separate theatrical and unrated edition SKU's) as well as Full Screen movies only for ages.

My personal theory is basically one part that, one part generally more welcoming to anime games, twenty eight parts Zen United being entirely staffed by insane people.

Entirely unsurprised by the PEGI 16, at least, although I'm more curious at what's up with it not being published by Zen United, but rather by "MAQL Europe". I wonder if it's another case of Zen United in disguise (a la Arc Systemworks Europe) or a genuinely new company. Could also mean that Marvellous AQL landed a long-term deal with Zen United for all of their future games, with presumably Xseed handling the US (because they're a MAQL subsidiary, duh).

Incidentally, apparently Zen United is also handling EU duties for Rune Factory 4, with a release date of 3d10/2d6/1d3+2013.

I love that Walmart to this day refuses to stock music with bad words. If it has a parental advisory logo on it, Walmart refuses to carry it. They keep the CDs next to the movies with violence nudity and bad words, the videogames with violence nudity and bad words, and novels with graphic sex rape and bad words.

Yeah makes sense.

Is there anyone out there that manufactures a 3DS stylus that doesn't have a hard metallic or plastic tip? I've got quite a few scratches on my touchscreen now, and I really don't want to have to be so gingerly with this thing if I'm going to be training Pokemon or playing Picross a lot.

I finally tried out the Galaxy Note 3 today and I really like the stylus on that thing. It's got a soft, almost rubbery tip on it. Something like that would be great for a 3DS.

Hori screen protectors are officially licensed and probably the best, just make sure to apply them correct. I feel like every time a conversation in here erupts about screen protectors like 5 people realize they didn't take the top layer off and that's why they've marked it up so badly already.

after you beat the 2nd boss save in town and talk to the people. one of them will give you another villager. reload the save and the villager count stays but he keeps giving you an extra one each time. took me less than 10 minutes to get 20.

I've been sitting at 10/10 Notifications for the Bravely Default demo, and I've yet to start playing it.

Set up HomePass and you'll get dozens of StreetPass Miis an hour.

Even before setting up HomePass, I'd make sure to visit Nintendo Zones as often as possible to fill up mine and my daughter's 3DS XL will a ton of Miis. On the way home from work, I could just slow down when next to a McDonald's and my green LED would come on.

StreetPass is one of the coolest things, ever.

Homepass isn't really an option and I live in a small town so nintendo zones are worthless.

I bought a cheap capacitive stylus with a soft tip (designed for a tablet) and have been using that. The tip is larger than the stock stylus so it's a bit harder to use on the keyboard, but for anything with a sliding motion (Theatrhythm or Kid Icarus) it works really well.

I picked up a eShop 20 dollar card, and was thinking of picking up Steamworld Dig, but I have 10 bucks left over. Is Chibi Robo: Photo Finder worth it? As a huge fan of the franchise, and who still has Park Patrol, is the game good, or bad?
