400 Euros is not 400 USD. It's closer to 500 USD.

Except prices between $ and € usually have parity, given that us European customers are paying with the sales tax baked in.

yes but the nintendo switch is 300 euros while in america money it's also 300 dollars, just because it costs one thing in europe doesnt mean the exhange rate is the same around the world.

for example, a 60 dollar game on steam in the US might end up being sold at 40 dollars in the local steam market I'm at.

I'd rather have Persona 3, 4, and 5 on Switch than have a Switch Pro. Insane how these games still haven't been ported over, like how loving ironclad of a deal does Atlus have with Sony? I was shocked P4 even came out to PC.

Structure-wise they're different (no social element or time constraint) but they're still based around recruiting and fusing demons, taking advantage of enemy weaknesses, etc.

I definitely will for SMTV but all the reviews for SMT3 say it's a little too old fashioned while SMTIV (the one that blew peoples pants off I think?) is stuck on the 3DS.

Have a look at Tangledeep. It's a bit easier to get into than Shiren, and they share a bit of DNA. You can painlessly transfer items, money, and pets to future characters. It looks good, and the port is perfect.

should I start with SMT3 as my first SMT game? I've never played any of them but I do own Strange Journey for DS for some reason, though I think that one is a spinoff.

3 is the best one but it's also the hardest. SMT 4 is a fine introduction and might be cheaper than buying the smt3 HD port now. The stories in these games don't directly connect so play order doesn't matter.

Smt 4 is the only one I've played but I was pleasantly surprised by it. The tone gets pretty dark/creepy/sobering and I enjoyed the gameplay. The overworld map was really lovely though

Current Switch consoles go for £280 in the UK, which xe.com tells me is $395

20% of that UK price is sales tax, so the pre-tax price is still $330 here :negative:

Regional price differences are still a thing, markets that will historically pay more get charged more

Yeah I know that and I intentionally wasn't going into relative costs, I was just pointing out to the OP that if a Switch Pro/whatever was listed at €400 in an EU shop it's a safe bet it'd be $400 in the US too. Take a look at the pricing for most other consumer electronics currently. UK prices are usually slightly less in a concession to the pound being more valuable than the dollar and euro, except the difference is nowhere near the actual exchange rate.
