Motto posted:I played the demo, it's some dumb datesim element where you talk to a girl, hold hands, and you magically get a dumb mascot character to add to your party. Several of them can combine to become a robot, but that doesn't stop the game from being a boring dungeon crawler on top of its concept. The first part of this sounds awesome actually. Though i'd get the vita version.

Apologies if this has been asked before/is a bad question, but I am about to get an XL so I have been browsing the eshop for my first purchase and am getting slightly confused. Zero Escape shows up as a download title in the search filter but it seems it cannot be bought. Is this a Region Thing? I'm in Europe.

Some games can't be bought but have downloadable videos or demos, so they show up in a search even though the game itself is not on the eShop. Maybe that's what has happened.

It's on eShop and there's a big "Proceed to Purchase" button on the bottom screen, at least here in Finland. I do hear that some regions don't have certain titles - for example, Germany has a slew of local shovelware that wouldn't make sense elsewhere - so maybe that's it.

Oh, I didn't know Zero Escape was Virtue's Last Reward. In that case it should be available for purchase, since I remember it being on sale a while ago. Maybe the issue here is the regional thing you mentioned. I know this game is available in Spain, at least.

Sir Gladu posted:There's a demo, and you should try it before you pay because weird animeness aside, it looks like a mediocre RPG : It's one of two games to come out this year trying to cash in on Persona (the other one being Mind=Zero on Vita.) The 3DS version runs slower and even the character portraits look pixelated on the XL. This one has the advantage of Atlus USA slapping the Atlus logo on it, making it appear to be a quality product. Conception II just took an anime dating sim and put it on top of a generic rpg dungeon system. The dungeon floors themselves are closer to Tartarus in Persona 3. They all have a very similar design and the music rarely changes. The only time I saw any differentiation in dungeons was the Sloth dungeon, where they just left walls out so it looked incomplete to fit with the "7 deadly sins" theme. While the battle system seems interesting, the directional gimmick gets pretty boring and once I unlocked an attack all enemies ability, I used it exclusively.     On the dating sim side of things, you date anime girls fitting into all the tropes and halfway through they then have a major plot twist you help them get over. The game tries to mimic Persona by limiting you to 3 events between dungeons, but a rest option exists in the character's dorm room that resets the counter. You do reach points the story will not progress unless you Classmate (make star babies) or complete a dungeon, but you can tell because the game starts repeating the same event over and over. Classmating is what kills the game though. The process itself is pretty harmless (just holding hands) but they show a naked glowing anime girl writhing which pretty much makes it an instant drop for most people. You later unlock a thing called ClassMANting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUbWrfbbWvA  if you're curious.But even if you are interested in it, just wait for an Atlus sale. They put their games and DLC on sale regularly.

Is there any "official" statement regarding downtime on the Club Nintendo site? I have 3 surveys that expire tomorrow, and I'm wondering if I should keep trying to get them through or just wait til a particular time later today.

I'm so upset that NA gets only four games to choose from. I have all of them already so it's basically worthless to me. Most of the games EU gets I'd love to have a choice of instead.

Well, apparently the codes are going for about $30 on eBay, and some of the games in the European deal(Wonderful 101, Game and Wario for instance) are now $30 on the eShop, so you could roundabouts convert a Wind Waker code to a Wonderful 101 one or something.

Not sure if it was mentioned or not but Minish Cap's got a page on the NA eShop. Its got a "TBD" date next to it, so I'm sure we can look forward to it sometime next year going off the example of the last TBD game we had.  Seriously, is it that hard to do what they did with Pushmo World or NES Remix 2 and just put a loving date up for this Thursday?

Perhaps they're holding it back for later, as a preorder/buy digital bonus with Zelda U. They've done it before.

If they do something like that, they tend to actually release the game beforehand and then give it as a bonus later on. That's what they did with Oracle of Seasons and Mario Golf on the 3DS for NA and with Kirby's Dreamland 2 (And probably some other games) for Europe.

GreenBuckanneer posted:I was expecting worse. That seems pretty tame. ClassMANting is possibly the best joke on online co-op play ever conceived, even if the people behind the game never intentionally saw it as that (there's always shameless yaoi loop hole pandering). Its two dudes so interested in getting the most min/max stat option that they use machines to breed with other min/maxers studs to create their master race of atomic star babies which will conquer/save the world! It's just too bad you have to play the game until you get to that point.

PAL update (week of June 5):quote:WII U eSHOP (there's a bunch more licensed/kids' junk going on sale, too - Dreamworks movie games, Power Rangers, Ben 10, Pacman, etc.) Wario Land 4: best Wario Land game ever? Tekken Tag 2 is a great port of a great fighting game, and it includes some Wii U-exclusive modes and features. File size is 17+ gigs, so be warned. The Adventure Time game that's on sale is the terrible Gauntlet clone, not the competent Zelda 2 clone; I don't think Regular Show or One Piece are supposed to be very good, either.

Is that Tekken price correct? €9.99 / £14.99? I hadn't even realized they released the new Adventure Time game here when they hadn't the previous one.

So that Mario Kart 8 promotion, here are my choices: Pikmin 3 Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games Wii Party U The Wonderful 101 Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate My first guess would be to jump on MH3U, as I've never played one. What does it play like? Are any of the others worth taking over it?

A friend of mine who is a big fan of the series played it said it was godawful. Boring lovely combat and none of the personality and spirit of the show. It's sitting at 41 on metacritic which seems to back that up.

I saw that title and didn't know what the gently caress. Good to hear it should be skipped. Akso I now have Virtue's Last Reward and Phoenix Wright 5. Any recommendations besides this? I'm down for most things so long as it ain't racing/sports, really.

Supposedly they fixed Hometown Story for the EU release. It appears they're doubling down on the series and put out an iOS version called Hometown Story:Pocket http://ceecee-natsume.tumblr.com/post/87598077752/state-of-the-farm-june-e3-edition Also something about 3 new Nintendo games, but who cares about that?
