It's one thing to do it with somewhat older games, like Disgaea on PSP/Vita, but Desu 2 isn't even that old.

Dehry posted:I guess no one's brought the news over here, but Devil Survivor 2 : Break Code is a thing now. I liked the first one up until the first major fight with Belder, where you fight through enemies to get to him, and when you finally do reach him, he respawns all your enemies. And you only get three types of enemies in the free battle to try and crack skills from, none of which are useful. I love the battle system, and I don't mind a challenge or grinding, but the grinding doesn't actually give me anything except a small amount of experience :/ Hopefully there's a demo and they make a few tweaks to it. That and I hate stories in my RPGs, which is why I can't put down EOIV

Did anyone mention that the Bravery Default producer has been acknowledging the international audience on Twitter? Because he totally has.

I just wanted to chime in for anyone contemplating the XL vs the normal model - don't even ask just buy the XL. Like, I know that sounds counter productive and rude but hear me out. I had a regular purple 3DS a few months ago. Didn't like it too much, felt like it was too small of a screen for what was going on (even with 20/20 vision), holding it felt weird, and just turned me off to the 3DS experience in general. Figured I would try again for the hell of it a month or so again, this time with the XL; immediate difference! Obviously it's bigger, but it doesn't make me nauseous like the smaller one, actually feels nice to hold, the stylus is in a good place... Yeah. Seriously, get the XL if possible.

DKWildz posted:Not only rural areas. Most cities that aren't on the east coast just never had the density or need to build up huge bus/subway systems. Even if they have them, they're so spread out that even if you used the bus/lightrail/subway, you'd likely never see a streetpass because you don't have the population density it requires. That's my situation in Phoenix. Basically, check facebook for '<city/state> Streetpass' groups. That and ComicCon type conventions are the only answer Eh, on the west side of Phoenix myself and work even further west and everytime I take it out to the mall or something I usually will get 2 or so a trip. That said far less than you'd figure for such a populated city but we all built out not up so it's not THAT crazy a notion.

Atlus have been doing this since the PS2 SMT games with Nocturne Maniax (which is the version released in US/PAL areas) and Persona 3 FES. I think at this point the only SMT games from the last decade that didn't get updates are Digital Devil Saga and the Raidou games.

I think everyone's aware that Atlus keeps iterating their SMT games at least once. My point is that, especially with the speed some of those remakes are coming along now, people will smarten up to it.

Only your main character can hurt him anyway, so you can just have the other parties take care of the minor enemies while you focus on him.

So a year ago I found the best spot to get street passes, and it's coming up again, PAX East. If you're in the Boston area I'm sure you could simply stop by and reap tons of street passes. I completed every puzzle swap by the end of day 1 last year. I haven't been getting many passes at all, like 10 total since, so all my new puzzles are very empty.

Is there a way to get maps of other countries in your street pass listing instead of just getting the no map message?

Also loading up on passive physical buffs (Crit, etc) will help too.

Considering the majority of the remakes come out on different consoles from their predecessors (P3FES -> P3P, P4 -> P4G, Devil Survivor-> DSOverclocked), I think that limits a lot of people's ability to "wait and see", unless you just buy every console as a matter of course.

Obligatory reminder to bring your 3DS with you if you go to a comic con or Pax event. I got over 300 spot passes in 3 days from comic con NY..and that's not even including the ones I most likely missed because of the queue being full. Also, it's cool because you see the regions people come from. I had a few from Japan, about six or seven from Europe, and even a few from South America. Spotpass at conventions really an amazing thing to see.

So yeah, nothing will set spotpass off quite like a nerd-centric convention. edit: weirdest region I got was Venezuela.

I've gotten two Streetpasses in Western West Virginia. One was when my friend came over, the other was a day I visited my high school to catch up with some awesome teachers. It was thrilling to get one out in the wild! Wish it would happen more often. Also, I live in the USA and I never got the Brain Age puzzle. Is there any "Check for new puzzles" feature I don't know about? I need more puzzles to never finish.

Yeah, I don't think the 3DS has penetrated the market very much here. I see them for sale, but I never see people playing them. I have to wonder if the inability to pirate games for it has hurt its sales. The DS Light is still pretty popular because of the R4.

Well I didn't buy Devil Survivor 2 because I knew an Overclocked version would come out so I guess kind of? In some cases the remakes are actually good though, I bought P3Portable and P4Golden even though I own the PS2 games and thought they were really worth it. I don't think it's a bad thing, I actually would like a few more re-releases from them. I wouldn't mind an updated Nocturne/DDS for the Vita/3DS. They're a tiny company making niche games, they can't afford to constantly pump out AAA RPGs or anything.

Atlus is so weird about reprints and such that I just went ahead and bought it, in case a 3DS version was never announced. Amazon had it for $20, so my logic was grab it, leave it unopened, and if it gets announced sell it (the first one on DS is still going for $40 or $50); if no announcement comes, open it and enjoy. No having to search high and low for it at a good price later. However, with companies like Capcom, I just skip the first release and wait for Ultimate/Super/AE/Ver.20XX.

Well this looks... okay? Maybe? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y64shEpjWxY Co-production between TOYBOX (Yasuhiro Wada's new company), Natsume and Rising Star Games, music by Nobuo Uematsu. Apparently it started life as a cellphone game? That'd explain the visuals.

If you're looking for something with a faster pace try out Rune Factory 3. It has insane characters that almost seem like a meta commentary of anime (because they are that crazy) and great gameplay. Definitely check out Rune Factory 4 when it comes out!

There's also Fantasy Life, Level-5's Animal Crossing/Rune Factory-style game which may or may not be out in English at the end of the year. (Uematsu worked on it as well, funnily enough.)

quote:Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked will finally make its way into the cartridge slots of British 3DS units on Friday, April 5, nearly a year and a half after the game originally debuted in North America and Japan in the fall of 2011. Wow, a poster! that sure makes up for a year and a half of "porting" a game that was completely done and translated to begin with. Ghostlight better go broke over this.
