BadAstronaut posted:Again, goony goons, please don't read this as an attack on what you like. This is me asking if there is much coming up that fits my tastes (on PC I enjoy the likes of Fallout New Vegas, the Baldur's Gate/Planescape:Torment style games, Civilization, Heroes of Might and Magic (I have Clash of Heroes on DS), Neverwinter Nights, Warhammer 40k, XCom, etc). Well, as a fellow over-30 fellow, I'd say Etrian Odyssey (IV) and Fire Emblem might fit your bill - that is, if you can tolerate the anime graphics. Also, if you're not into anime plots, then your money should be on EO. And if you're still feeling old... err, there's always sport games, like Pro Evolution Soccer. And puzzles, like Professor Layton. The most "adult" title would be "Virtues Last Reward", which is the sequel to 999. No. 1 Callie Fan fucked around with this message at 11:44 on Jan 24, 2013 |

I.N.R.I posted:I'm sorry, I only read the first post and missed the second one. I was wondering if there was some e-shop poo poo to think about or whatever. Well, thanks for answering anyway. From what I've heard, the US version of the eshop can be pretty choosy when it comes to method of funds. I think it's also worth noting that the region lock can extend to local multiplayer. So you can't play games like Dead or Alive Dimensions with your buddies who have PAL 3DS versions. (Internet play is fine, tho'.)

Folt The Bolt posted:Well, the Etrian Odyssey games that got localized over here did kinda flop, so it's no surprise that we don't have one for EO4 really. Kinda sucks. It's a pity then that the region lock has locked us out of this series for now. And translating the game to four additional languages doesn't exactly entice publishers to risk it. But one can hope for a miracle of some sort.

If you want to read more into how Nintendo sees itself fiscally and plans to do business this year, the public briefing is here in detail. It also hints of further additions to Street- and SpotPass in future (firmware?) updates.

Ghostlight just closed their "Amazing" January competition, and the winner was someone who "realistically" wished for Shin Megami Tensei IV. So unless there's a new unannounced Shadow Hearts in development (the winner's secret wish), there's a slight possibility of another SMT game for Europe.

That's hardly constructive, when you take into account that Ghostlight are probably the only company out there releasing Atlus games in Europe. (Aside from Nintendo of Europe, but you know how they handled the subsequent sequels to Etrian Odyssey on the DS. As in: They didn't.) And hey, speaking of Devil Survivor... @ghostlightgames posted:Also I've been told that you can expect some Devil Survivor 2 news in the next few weeks.

Sultan Tarquin posted:Do you prefer to play games in English? Well, yes, since I don't know French/German/Spanish/Italian/Japanese/whatever else there is. And Finnish... well, the ones that are are edutainment titles aimed squarely at kindergarten-level individuals. As for translations: Here in Finland at least they translate some games - like Professor Layton - in Finnish and Swedish. Actually, that's a lie. They translate the cover blurb and paper manual. The game itself is in English. I'm not quite sure what they were thinking with this.

Saoshyant posted:See my big post above. There aren't many videogame companies translating their works into the... non-core languages. Finland, much like Greece, Denmark, Portugal, Sweden, and the Netherlands isn't considered a "core language" when it comes to those companies. Sure, but then again, on the packaging there's a (small) text warning that "Basic knowledge of English needed to enjoy the game" which pretty much sums up things. Localization is nice, but sometimes English is second best.

Dr. Ohnoman posted:Not gonna lie, I was absolutely horrified when I saw that all the text in Assassin's Creed III was in Finnish and that there was no way to change it in any of the in-game menus. Ended up changing the region of my 360 to UK to be able to play the game in English, because rear end Creed in Finnish just felt wrong. Nothing wrong with localization, unless they hire some sweatshop to do the translations. Nothing is more horrid than a quick and shoddy literal translation full of anglo-american jargon.

Australia is NISA's area. Unless you know something we don't. EDIT: Well, a quick googling showed NISA being the publisher in Australia, but I'm still going to be skeptical until the end.

I've heard of rumours of some using a proxy posting service to get those Club Nintendo goods. Free games? You'll probably need to set your 3DS to a country that is eligible for Club Nintendo, but can't vouch that'll work.

WASDF posted:Is there legitimate belief that the Circle Pad Pro XL isn't? That's a foolish thing to believe. If this were like some weird heart-rate sensor for a Suda51 Japan eShop only game but if they bothered bringing the original to America then they'll probably bring this one over too. Well, Europe certainly got a special mention that the CPP XL is coming. So chances are America will get theirs too - eventually. Speaking of Europe, Atlus finally has a dedicated (competent) publisher there. Try to guess who it is. Hint: It doesn't start with a G.

For the artistic types out there, the Korg synthesizer has been updated to the 3DS and is going to be released worldwide this summer. One of the new features is the ability to export midi-files to your SD-card, so you don't have to only record it raw off the DS anymore.

jtm33 posted:The main reason to buy a US 3DS is for the exclusive games, not for cheaper prices because after you factor in shipping you aren't saving much if anything compared to Europe. I don't know if that's that exclusive anymore, considering the biggest grief was how Atlus-less Europe was, and that kind of resolved itself when NISA took up to fix that situation. Unless you're some kind of completionist and need the US releases. Now a Japanese 3DS on the other hand... EDIT: Slowpoke.

I tend to leave the 3D-effect on. I'm completely entranced by it and can't imagine playing without it. That is unless I need to use the gyro controls on the 3DS, where it's preferable to turn it off, no way I'm enable to keep my head in the point of view to keep it working.
