What Japan-exclusive games would you recommend, StayDead? I am probably going to pick up Dragon Quest 7 and 10 when it is ported over, and maybe Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate.

I just tried Bravely Default and I am not sure whether to just wait and get the English version. I can read some of it, but I feel like I would be missing out (which is the same for any RPGs over here I guess, including Dragon Quest). The game only cost me a fiver, so I am not too out of pocket.

Outside of maybe 3D Outrun I can't really suggest much other than Senran Kagura 2 since all the games I have, have either been released in the UK already or are text heavy.

Try Fire Emblem Gaiden on eShop too since that's an awesome game, but if you do, prepare to be severely frustrated.

I can't seem to find Shovel Knight in the estore - is it out?!

Only in North America at the moment.

Not in the EU! Good old region locking.

What a lot of rubbish.

So it's been out in the US for 2 months now and nothing for us sad sacks? Booooooolsheeeeeeeeiiiiiit!

Any word on an eventual release?

Hmmm, this means that my Japanese 3DS is pretty much a Smash Bros machine. Hopefully the new Pokemon games will follow in the footsteps of X/Y and have English support.

I can read, maybe, about 700 Kanji? My problem is that I read these in a studying context and short sample sentences - I don't have any experience of reading Japanese prose. I don't really mind for games like Dragon Quest 7, as this will never get released in the UK so is the only way I will get to play it. If it is cheap enough I don't really mind too much that I am missing out on the story. For Bravely Default, I think maybe I will play the first hour or two as a taster and then get it when I am in the UK. It looks nice, and reminded me of the first Final Fantasy game on the PSP.

Regarding Fire Emblem, I saw a FE DS game in a sparkly silver box and was wondering what it was? It was slightly more expensive than the other DS software (maybe £20 as opposed to about a tenner) and I can't remember a Fire Emblem DS game making it to Europe.

The DS wasn't region locked, so does anyone know any Japan-only titles (bar Ouendan) that are worth a shot?

Also, I posted this in the Pokemon thread but thought it may get more answers here:

Has anyone get any experience of the Event Pokemon movie events? Specifically in Japan?

The Diancie giveaway is currently operating over here and now that I have a Japanese 3DS and a copy of Y, I fancy picking it up.

Do you need to actually buy a ticket and attend the screening? Or is there wifi in the cinema lobby that you connect to? If so I may just take my 3DS along to the cinema and download it on the sly.

At least Nicalis aren't the publisher. It should be here before the end of the year.

Smash Demo is out in Japan. Goodbye real world, hello Smash world.

You probably just need to go to the vicinity of it and activate mystery gift. I got a Pikachu with Surf recently from an event in Yokohama.

Although that would fit my Japanese LL just fine:

The entire design is great, but the stylus is by far the best part.

Yeah, it's in X/Y.

I've stopped playing Pokemon now so I'll give him to you next week if you catch me at a good time. x

Ooh, I'd love to have one then Will check next week! Thanks, been wanting one since I no longer have access to my legit Surfing Pikachu in Gen 1...

I had to buy that extra, was pretty cheap though. There's so much cool slime stuff in Japan, if that's your bag anyway

Late to the party, but your Slime 3DS and accessories are really cool Jay.

NES themed 3DS coming to the states



That box, dude.

How much for the box dude?

I will honest to goodness give you a fiver for the box dude.

Why cant it be New 3DS XL one? I'd be sure to preorder it... I love NES look.
