So fast! What is the cheapest place to import an American 3DS? Amazon is +-€220. No point in getting a Euro version now.

 

[DarkSoul520]

Guess I'm going to need a 3DS now...

 

[Uncle AJ]

Well, that escalated quickly.

 

[mclem]

Is there even any reason to buy an European 3DS at all? Aside from being able to get it from close at home and have a warranty.

[jello44]

Great news! I had an inkling it would be out sooner than expected, like the fall someone, but the Summer? Totally unexpected.

 

[chickdigger802]

If I'm kinda meh with persona 4 combat (feels too luck driven at times), will I enjoy mainline smt games?

 

[Soriku]

Premium price? Feels like Atlus is summoning their SE persona.

The game is likely to be 50+ hours for the main story like Nocturne and SJ. Game also has 100 Challenge Quests (side quests) and 400+ demons. Plus a fast localization.

Much better deal than any SE game with SE tax Though TWEWY was worth $40.

 

[Lusankya]

She is not a route.

Ah, from watching the trailer I thought she was as important as the guys.

 

[mclem]

Didn't they use the inclusion of a dual-language option as justification for region-locking the Persona fighting game? (a game that still isn't out in Europe, AFAIK, despite the fact that they promised a simultaneous release)

Sort of the other way around; they said that they *wouldn't* be translating it into FIGS to get a rapid turnaround on release.

Just to reiterate: They didn't translate the text so they could release it quicker.

 

[Teknoman]

Summer? But...Soul Hackers... how can I handle two Megaten adventures at once?!

 

[Yuterald]

omg, so much hype! Hopefully this launches around June/July because I'm going to have some time off this summer. You can see the whole country from up here. So, this is what it feels like to be king? Holy shit. This is so the biggest deal right now.

 

[slightconfuse]

Summer oh yeaaaaa

 

[Flamfas]

They must be releasing the game early because by the end of the year they have scheduled Persona 5

/believe

This possibility crossed my mind too

PLEASE

 

[TheBaronOfNA]

If I'm kinda meh with persona 4 combat (feels too luck driven at times), will I enjoy mainline smt games?

I think not.

 

[jj984jj]

Amazing news! I was ready for possibility that we wouldn't get it this year. This just became my second most anticipated localization announced for this year, after Soul Hackers!

 

[DidntKnowJack]

America, fuck yeah. Day one.

 

[Javier]

Atlus and Nintendo have been very good buddies lately.

 

[TheChits]

Thank you based Atlus <3

 

[Hero of Legend]

 

[kingkaiser]

Now, please Kenka understand that because the games we make don't exactly sell like Battlefield or even a fraction worth quoting, we don't have a European office.

ATLUS

Atlus just shot themselves in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about European culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in America or Japan where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in Europe, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

What this means is the european public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase SMT IV for the 3DS, nor will they purchase any of Atlus's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Atlus has alienated an entire market with this move.

Atlus, publicly apologize and hire Ghostlight immediately to localize SMT IV for Europe or you can kiss your business goodbye.

Ah, from watching the trailer I thought she was as important as the guys.

She is an important character, she just doesn't represent a route.

Spoiler

Or maybe she is Neutral...

 

[punkmaggit]

Will wait for the Vita port

Spoiler

hopefully

.

 

[Kaarina]

For a gamer that likes jrpgs it sure is a blast to live in a Europe...
But good for Usa gamers that they get soul hackers and SMT4 this year I'm so happy for you. Meanwhile I'm going to play my badly bugged copy of Devil Survivor Overclocked.



I kinda feel like drawing silhouette of my middle finger and sending the picture to Atlus.

 

[Aeana]

Will wait for the Vita port

Spoiler

hopefully

.

Let us know how that goes.

 

[lordfroakie]

Too many games to buy in summer >.<

 

[Nairume]

Best news to wake up to, though it's probably going to release on the week of my wedding

 

[exmachina64]

YES! Summer can't come soon enough.

 

[Tecl0n]

So fast! What is the cheapest place to import an American 3DS? Amazon is +-€220. No point in getting a Euro version now.

I'll like to know this as well, i don't plan on spending 370U$s to buy it here.

videogamesplus.ca has the XL for about 150&#8364; and the normal ones for 130&#8364;.

 

[Busaiku]

I still don't get why some people (duckroll) did not think that this game would be this year.

 

[jimmypython]

Nice!!!!! I guess my import list cuts down to only Monster Hunter 4 now...so happy

Before:
Monster Hunter 4
Bravely Default FF
SMT4
Lightning Returns: FF13
Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD ReMIX
Soul Sacrifice
FFX|X-2 HD
Fire Emblem awakening

After:
Monster Hunter 4

PS. I don't care about BDFF anymore.....

 

[randomkid]

What the eff, I was planning to beat SMT2 first!

Eternal Punishment, Soul Hackers, SMT4 ... at the slowass rate I play these games I'm gonna get burned out haha.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Atlus is so GODLY.

Getting Etrian Odyssey in a few weeks, hold on Atlus, I'm coming! <3

 

[nckillthegrimace]

Is there a reason for the premium price other than Atlus wanting to bilk $10 more out of the "Atlus Faithful?"

 

[Meia]

I still don't get why some people (duckroll) did not think that this game would be this year.

Because we're all familiar with how long Atlus localization takes usually.


I thought we'd get this in the winter, if we were lucky. This turn-around time is nuts, and gives me hope for whenever P5 gets announced.


After I finish my month of the early personas, I'll probably set Nocturne, which I've never been able to trudge through, as a May game I guess. Definitely want to be all over this when it comes out.

 

[wastedyears]

Finally! I can't wait.

 

[Pirabear]

Oh damn, I just preordered Soul Hackers last week.

Looks like it's SMT Summer.

 

[Busaiku]

Because we're all familiar with how long Atlus localization takes usually.

The turnaround for most Atlus games has been 5-6 months, for like the past few years.
It was guaranteed to be this year.

 

[Omegasquash]

As soon as I'm able, I'm pre-ordering.

 

[Black Republican]

Yay, now I get to see what all the fuss is about.

Ditto

 

[Aeana]

Check the time for Soul Hackers.

 

[Meier]

I won Person 1 or 2 (PSX) back in the day from Gamespot and lasted about 30 minutes into it.. loathed it. Never touched it again. Ended up getting into Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne years later though and LOVED that and recently fell in love with Persona 4 Golden. I will definitely give this a shot.

 

[Tenrius]

Does it mean it's getting an eshop release?

 

[Busaiku]

Check the time for Soul Hackers.

Most!

 

[jj984jj]

The turnaround for most Atlus games has been 5-6 months, for like the past few years.

There's no way Atlus would release this in the late fall where it'd be trampled by holiday releases.

 

[dancrane212]

Hopefully this will qualify for one of the $20 off promos we get around E3 (Canada), I'm not sure I want to throw down $50 for this while my 3DS backlog is still pretty large.

 

[vall03]

The turnaround for most Atlus games has been 5-6 months, for like the past few years.
It was guaranteed to be this year.

We could have gotten EOIV last year, but then again Atlus wouldn't risk releasing it close to Persona 4 Golden. Right now, theres DS2: Break Record and Shin Sekaiju no Meikyuu left, who knows if we'll get them this year too, but I highly doubt it.

 

[Busaiku]

It's not like there's too much coming for 3DS during that time.
Heck, I can see Devil Survivor Break Code hitting during October.

 

[Niwa]

It will come out in Europe right after that, right? Right people? .. Right?

 

[The Return of]

Oh wow, I am really surprised it's coming out so soon
