Bit of a long-shot but is anyone here using a European NNID set to their 3DS and using a card issued outside of Europe?

After about 5 years of successfully using my Australian cards on the Ireland Eshop they no longer work. I last used it probably 4-5 months ago, I can't remember exactly.

My 3DS is stuck on the Ireland Eshop now so I guess I have to make do with buying Euro codes online. I guess I can be thankful the system is near the end of its life and it won't hit my wallet too hard.

S'truth. It has not held up well at all. When it came out, I remember thinking, "Oh poo poo, it's like having an arcade at home!" :w00t: I didn't realize how cut up it was. What are your thoughts on Final Fights 2 and 3?

while I am a filthy american, at least double check that your own bank isn't blocking the charges for some reason. they like to do that sometimes, especially for international purchases.

Spots of 3 are super fun. I haven't gone back in a while but that was my favorite SNES one. Still tho if you have a 3ds there's no reason to get those when you've got Streets of Rage right there.

I'll second this as a filthy not-American who now lives in America, which is actually fairly clean. I had been buying games on GOG for years and years without incident, and then one day a few years ago it blocked my purchases because, even though the company is based in Poland, their billing is done through Cyprus and the bank apparently had an onset of raci... I mean concern due to the unrest in Greece.

Ace Attorney DLC within the first week? Nice cash grab Capcom. :rolleyes:

At least Spirit of Justice is only $29.99 instead of $39.99. Wasn't Dual Destinies full price when it came out?

And does Dragon Quest VII have one of those great 90's JRPG stories? I never played VII and really miss the grandiose poo poo Square used to put out.

DQ is usually more reserved than other JRPGs but the story of VII is that the world has already been destroyed and you have to travel through time to save old communities and rebuild the world piece by piece

Nitpick:
DQ was Enix. Dragon Quest games were always cozier and less grandiose than FF, but that's the charm to them.

To put it into perspective, the original DQ7 didn't put you into a battle until you played for like an hour. Xenosaga, a game that is plagued by hour long cutscenes, immediately throws you into a fight and a tutorial dungeon.

By the time the DQ7 wanted to start I couldn't imagine playing it ever again.
