V. Amoleo Posted September 16, 2022 Posted September 16, 2022 Some exclusive Natsume games are on sale at the moment: https://en.psprices.com/region-gb/discounts/?platform=3DS&sort=date&page=1 A-Train and the River City games. Ends on 27/09. Probably worth mentioning that the new Theathrhythm game is unlikely to support the touchscreen because it's based on the arcade game (thanks to Glen-i for explaining this). Which means that you shouldn't scratch the DLC for the Curtain Call off your list if you particularly enjoy playing using the touchscreen.

I'll also add to this that the 4 Bravely Default songs show no current signs of being in said new Theatrhythm PR. Now, that doesn't mean they won't be in it (2 of the DLC packs are being kept under wraps). But it's worth keeping it in mind when it gets released. 1

But be aware there is no translation patch as far as I can find. Story of Seasons Twin Villages+ 1480円 Ends 19/10.
V. Amoleo Posted October 12, 2022 Posted October 12, 2022 (edited) A few more Japanese exclusives on sale on the Japanese eShop this week. Kunio-kun Nekketsu Complete: Famicom Compilation 600円 No translation patch available but some of the Famicom games should be playable without knowledge of Japanese. Nekketsu Kōha Kunio-kun Special 100円 No translation patch available. A remake of Nekketsu Renegade Kunio-kun. Downtown Nekketsu Jidaigeki 500円 No translation patch available. I'd say this one is pretty much unplayable without knowledge of Japanese. BlazBlue: Clone Phantasma 100円 No translation patch available. This was released in English, but only in America. BlazBlue Contiuum Shift II is also available for 100円, but had a worldwide release. Jake Hunter Rondo of Revenge 500円 No translation patch available. This is a visual novel type game and would be impossible without knowledge of Japanese. Stardust Amazoness 500円 No translation patch available. Looks like an RPG in the vein of games like Senran Kagura. I think it would need a knowledge of Japanese to play. Ends 07/11. Edited October 12, 2022 by V. Amoleo 1

Jonnas Posted December 31, 2022 Posted December 31, 2022 The end of the 3DS eShop approaches, and when that happens, I'll have to purchase every game and DLC on my wishlist. Before I do, I have a question: is the DLC in Shin Megami Tensei IV (and Apocalypse) worthwhile in any form? Like, I think they're just items and equipment? Incidentally, if anybody has any questions about Fire Emblem DLC, feel free to ask. I'm well informed on the DLC of all 3 games.

But you can mostly skip out on it. Is that "Messiahs in the Diamond Realm"? Looks to be cheap, might take it, especially considering the main appeal of the series. Also, is there something on the main quest that needs to be done before I'm allowed to purchase things? Like in Fates, where you can only access DLC after Chapter 7?

I never touched the DLC in the first SMT IV, so I can't help you there. I can't remember if you have to get to a certain point in the game to play the DLC, but I don't remember it being very late at all. That said, the DLC that aren't there for grinding purposes are all designed with late game parties in mind, so I wouldn't recommend doing it early at all.

Amoleo Google sheet from earlier in the thread, and I checked: no playtime required before getting to purchase the DLC (I asked because I wanted to buy it before the deadline). On a similar note, any recommended DLC for Radiant Historia?

The original art style for character portraits is one I got. Incredibly skeevy that it's locked behind a paywall, but I just don't like the redone ones. The DS portraits have this cool rustic charm to it that helps it stand out. Unfortunately, it's not consistent throughout, as the 3DS introduces some new characters, which still use the newer artstyle, even if you got the DLC, which is a little jarring once you start playing the new content. EDIT: I just booted it up to confirm this, it also doesn't apply them to the menus. No idea why, but keep that in mind. Still, anything to reduce the amount I have to gaze in horror at how much they butchered Eruca. Edited January 2, 2023 by Glen-i 1

Still, anything to reduce the amount I have to gaze in horror at how much they butchered Eruca. Nice tip. I'm checking comparisons, and which art style is better seems to depend on the character. I remember when I played the demo, Raynie had a ridiculous chest (as in, the proportions and perspective were laughable), but in the older art style she looks much better. Meanwhile, Stocke seems to look much better in the newer portraits. There's also an evil-looking bloke in red armour who looks much better in the older style. If Eruca is the blonde princess, then she just looks like a completely new character in the newer one (in a vacuum, not better nor worse). So yeah, I think I'll get that one as well, it'll be interesting to compare them further, especially if the new ones still come up in menus.
Beast Posted January 2, 2023 Posted January 2, 2023 So I've read somewhere that you can't use Nintendo Gift Cards in the eShop on the 3DS anymore? (May have been here, I really can't remember). But I'm sure you can't use your bank card either so what would you do?Sent from my Nokia G10 using Tapatalk

Sent from my Nokia G10 using Tapatalk I'm not sure if that's the case, but you can still add funds via an eShop card onto a Switch and it'll also appear on 3DS if you have your accounts linked. You can also add funds to a 3DS/Wii U with a bank card by following this link: https://ec.nintendo.com/my/balance_add 1

Yeah, that's her. The sprites used in gameplay are the same as the DS game, so it's very odd that she got redesigned so drastically. That said, the gameplay, thankfully, is untouched, all the new stuff is optional (there's even an option, on starting a new game, to not have any new content show up until after the credits, which is cool if you want to have it play as close to the original as possible), Atlus wisely didn't mess with that, only adding some QoL changes in the menus to make it smoother. Radiant Historia is my 3rd favourite DS RPG. It's very unique, and the plot's got a cool hook to it with the heavy focus on time travel. Highly recommended. 1
V. Amoleo Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 Just a reminder that there's only two months left until the 3DS and Wii U eshops close forever. There's also only a month left to buy Fire Emblem Fates. Anybody's long lists down to a short list yet? The sales for both the EU and Japan seem to just be rotating now between the same set of games. So I think it's time to start buying. 2

Ashley Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 Because I'm too lazy to check; is Pocket Jockey still available? One of those games I've been meaning to try.

Jonnas Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 I have a handful of games I'm planning on getting in February. I also should get going and purchase the Fates DLC.
