Support NeoGAF

[Samurai_Heart]

Yeah, the Avatar has 3 options for the Japanese voicing.

Shame there's less options, I'm guessing there's no silent option like the Japanese one =/, still great that there's dual audio options. Have fun, we EU players will join the fun in April T.T, going to sleep cursing you all XD

So, what are the chances of Europe getting the artbook?

Likely GAME only ala Ocarina of Time 3D, or Club Nintendo offer *Fingers crossed* for soundtracks as well.

 

[zroid]

So, what are the chances of Europe getting the artbook?

probably not good (at least, not for the same art book) because this was a deal GameStop worked out with NoA.

 

[Vamphuntr]

I don't think the game is multilingual English/French/Spanish since the demo was not. Usually the demo on the 3DS switch language according to your firmware's language and it didn't for this demo.

Guess they went the cheap way here since it isn't a big game for Nintendo.

 

[Currygan]

importing it from the US

 

[Kincaido]

So jelly of everyone who's getting it early ;_;

Very happy with the cart being pixel art.

 

[Cheska]

Quick, someone check if this has broken street date in the US too!

 

[Kincaido]

From just playing a bit, it looks like if you switch the voice overs to Japanese, there are no subs during voiced movie scenes. I don't think they run very long but you are missing out on some dialog if you don't understand some Japanese.

There should be voices during movie scenes. It's in the options on the demo.

 

[Javier]

So, Silent Avatar option is definitely out?

 

[Busaiku]

Darn you Canada!

Quick, someone check if this has broken street date in the US too!

Not over here.

 

[Varshes]

Here's a few pics, if anyone wants anymore of something let me know:

 

[Busaiku]

Oh that looks great.

 

[zroid]

oh damn that art book looks nicer than I thought

kind of regretting opting to save 5 bucks by going with Best Buy now...

 

[Chrom]

more

moreeeee

 

[Boss Doggie]

Wait, it's out? How D:

 

[Astral/H3X]

I'm practically blasting in my pants over that art book. Game has some gorgeous artwork, getting some extra love with the art book is just that much more awesome.

 

[Chrom]

Wait, it's out? How D:

I think Nintendo of Canada messed up or something.

 

[ImLibo]

The artbook looks fantastic.

 

[dakkumauji]

That artbook looks amazing. So jelly.

 

[JordanN]

Was originally on the fence about this game but I've been loving the demo so much I just have to have it now.

 

[Joule]

Darn! I live really close to that EB in Toronto. Should have preordered. Maybe I'll head there tomorrow to see if I can just get a regular copy if they still don't realize the actual release date.

If you preordered in store at BB you might get it http://www.nintendo.com/whatsnew/detail/l59ddam5bjf4qIRhRVmpEINx9my5WdZK

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

DAT art book! I will LITERALLY burn my GameStop to the flipping ground if the don't have for me when I walk in next Monday morning.

Spoiler

Well, maybe I'll just knock over a magazine rack instead.

 

[zroid]

in-store only QQ

tempted to cancel my online order and just pay the extra 5 bucks though. Maaaaybe.

 

[Mr. Fix]

I'm a bit envious of that art book. :I

 

[Joule]

I never pre-ordered mine. I just walked in today.

Whelp that confirms what I'm doing tomorrow. Thanks!

 

[Mr. Fix]

Whelp that confirms what I'm doing tomorrow. Thanks!

Actually, I wasn't sure if you were talking about the art book, because that ship has sailed. ;-;

Not just that EBgames. At least three EBs around Toronto selling early. Any EB will probably do..

About a few of the questions:

- Whenever you start a new game, it defaults the voice samples to English and there are only 3 of them, I was even in Japanese mode and started another game and it still only came up in English during the avatar creation screen.

- I still don't see a movie subtitles option, was it on the main menu screen of the demo? Because if it was, it's not on the one for the main game.

 

[Moonlight]

I think Nintendo of Canada messed up or something.

Wait, I'm Canadian. Can I just walk in and grab it at any EBGames, then?

 

[Mr. Fix]

You have to turn it during battle or on the world map. It should be under the options.

The first isn't a question.

The option for movie subtitles is something you see when you're actually playing the game within a file, whether on a battle map or the world map.

They had about 10 extra copies where I went to, the rest were all preorders.

I've only heard in Toronto.

 

[ChosenPredator]

its here in mississauga too lol (canada)

Okay got it, thanks.

sexy pics

Thanks for the pics. The artbook is looking mad fine.

 

[Santiako]

Meanwhile in Europe

 

[Mupod]

Crossing my fingers up here in Sudbury.

Although if they want to get anything up here they will have to dig their way through 500 tons of snow.

 

[zroid]

So GTA seems to be in the clear for now. I guess as the shipments radiate across the country from EB's Brampton warehouse, it'll become increasingly available.

 

[Varshes]

No prob, here's another one:

The "manual" is just a piece of paper folded into four sections.

 

[Chrom]

Wow.

 

[dakkumauji]

Amazing.

Doesn't seem like Nintendo did anything special with the inside of the box though.

 

[Zen_Arcade]

Just saw the commercial on TV. Hype.

 

[SpaceBridge]

So what confirmed Toronto stores are selling early?

After pretty much all previous Nintendo 3DS games can't say I expected more out of the manual, still a shame though :/

 

[EvilMario]

Check the Canadian Deals thread, I don't want to clutter up this thread with it.

 

[JordanN]

Amazing.

Has there ever been a North American 3DS case with the insides decorated? I've come to expect they just don't bother with this region.

 

[zroid]

So what confirmed Toronto stores are selling early?

Seems like all of the ones that were contacted so far have been confirmed to be selling them. Maybe give your local store a ring tomorrow just to be sure.

Kid Icarus: Uprising did, I remember.

Another wasted opportunity methinks.
