Sweet, I already registered FEA thanks to a gaffer. I just need to buy SMT4. I

 

[VARIA]

I was on the fence about SMTIV, but now it's a day one purchase.

Well played Nintendo & Atlus.

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

Pretty cool. And you're qualified even if you have FE registered already.

Kind of makes up for the whole Luigi's Mansion 2 promotion.

 

[Bii]

Oh look, "free money" for me. I've already purchased FE:A and have SMTIV preordered...so many things I want to get from the eShop though.

 

[Stoof]

For those who forgot to do your survey: Check your account now.

I'm pretty certain I had forgotten to do so as well and it's appearing in my To-Do listing.

Not for me

 

[purg3]

Awesome deal, already registered FE, and have SMT preordered. Now to decide what to get.

 

[Busaiku]

EXCELLENT

 

[rockx4]

This is certainly great news, I already have FE:A and have SMT4 on preorder. I'll probably get Animal Crossing with the credit.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Got FEA digitally. And preordered SMT4. This is a nice bonus.

 

[georly]

Guess i'll go ahead and preorder the physical copy since the digital looks like it'll cost just as much. I can also re-sell it if i hate it.

 

[Def Jukie]

Wow. This is a great promo. Already had FE and have SMTIV preordered on Amazon using for $20 using some credit I had. Hope this does really well for Atlus and Nintendo.

 

[AniHawk]

i already have fea and had paid off smt iv. this is pretty fucking rad. $10 would have been a neat little thing, but $30 makes nintendo better than sony and microsoft combined.

When will PSN Plus?

 

[levious]

Called, got a rep within 7 minutes. She took a total of 10 minutes to get a hold of my records, and registered my downloaded copy of FE.

Sweet.

I thought eshop purchases are auto registered?

 

[vctor182]

Pretty sweet deal, when is Ace Attorney 5 getting released? I might save the credit for that... if not then I'm not sure if using for Code of Princess or a bunch of VC games

 

[zroid]

My toughest decision will be deciding if the $30 goes to the Wii U eShop or 3DS eShop now.

Righ there with you, lol

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Damn it Nintendo. Gonna make me finally buy 3DS games? I don't have time for this shit.

 

[Skelter]

Is there going to buy a "Thinking about these games?" for Shin Megami Tensei IV? I'd like an extra 10 coins.

 

[Revolutionary]

Ugh, I really hate how the two eShops are separate. Fucking stupid.

Anyway, I have to admit this has me interested in SMT4/FEA... if I can get FEA for cheap.

 

[onipex]

Time to buy both of these.

 

[vctor182]

Not sure, I saw the put Pikmin though

intend to buys are usually first party only

 

[RedSwirl]

Nintendo may be behind on online multiplayer, but at least they've figured out a good loyalty system to promote their online store. Now I'm seriously considering buying SMTIV.

I wanted to see if I could check out the first three games (patched ROMs of the first two) before doing that though. Is there any benefit to playing the main SMT games in order?

 

[Phoenixazure]

sweet! maybe i'll get that mario and luigi rpg or something.

 

[Fandangox]

Oh man this is a really good deal.

Might actually get SMTIV sooner than later then.

 

[Midnight Moon]

Gonna use that credit for Friday Monsters: A Tokyo Tale and some other games I've missed out on like Crashmo, etc.

 

[Rapscallion]

This makes me contemplate it, as I already have Fire Emblem and I'm always looking for good RPGs. I haven't played any of the main Tensai games, but I assume they're similar in vein to the devil summoner games? Or are they more similar to the Persona games.

Will Dream Team be released digitally? I plan on buying that, so it only makes sense to buy SMT if it will be released on the eshop.

All of these questions have been answered by taking a minute to view the OT.

 

[Dragon1893]

Like waiting for SMT4 wasn't enough, now the US is getting this incredible deal. I feel marginalized.

Well, it's doubtful you'll be able to finish any of them before SMT4 comes out, but if you're gonna play one I say Nocturne (SMT3) on PS2. Strange Journey on DS is good as well and also a 'mainline' SMT game, but the dungeons are first person and kinda annoying later on. SMT4 has third person exploration like Nocturne.

Well EU did get that promotion for a free game when the US got nothing. Plus getting M&L and Bravely Default before NA. And a few Wii U games too.

 

[AtomskEater]

You know this how exactly?

This is the first I've heard of the PXZ thing. Looking into it, it seems the listing on the website didn't mention the bonuses back when people preordered. The SMT4 bonuses are pictured on the listing, but not mentioned in the text.

Not exactly sure if Newegg got a shipment of "regular" edition PXZ copies alongside the limited edition stuff and got it mixed up, but, if Atlus is being serious about EVERY first run copy coming with the bonuses, Newegg would have to open the merchandise and remove the bonuses (and throw them on an open flame for extra evil points). I guess just don't order from Newegg if you don't trust it. There's no way to know for 100% until it arrives.

 

[Madouu]

AA5 purchase funded, thank you very much! SMT IV first print edition for $33 is just the icing on the cake.

3DS has had some pretty nice deals so far.

 

[Fandangox]

All Nintendo-Published Wii U/3DS games get released on the eShop.

 

[Codeblue]

My toughest decision will be deciding if the $30 goes to the Wii U eShop or 3DS eShop now.

My philosophy on that is 3DS if you have a deluxe Wii U because 3DS purchases don't qualify for money back.

 

[Kandinsky]

dude, I'm a spanish native speaker, and I'm curious...

why would you like to play FE in spanish?... 99% of the games I've tried to play in spanish have horrible horrible translations :/

I dont like FE games, but my kids do, so yeah.

 

[Frodo]

Meanwhile in Europe... :~~~

 

[QuiteWhittle]

While they're wonderful games, playing the first two titles before any others is a good way to put you off the franchise for quite a while. I suggest playing Nocturne first.

 

[Rebel Leader]

Damn nintendo

 

[KarmaCow]

This is a lot better than I expected but at the same time I don't know what to buy with those credits. Picross e2 is only $6.

 

[Skelter]

intend to buys are usually first party only

And club Nintendo codes usually don't come with third party 3DS games which is why I ask since SMTIV does come with one. Oh well no big deal really.

 

[Yes Boss!]

Very cool!

Takes SMT IV down to $20 since I buy a lot of stuff on the eShop anyways. Glad it is retroactive and also works for retail copies.

Nintendo should just buy the Atlus brand. Seems like a good fit.

 

[test_account]

That is a very good deal indeed, especially if you were planning on getting both games anyway.

 

[IrishNinja]

shit yeah! now to sort out where my $30 goes, maybe DKCR or Pullbox/other stuff on my list

 

[zruben]

I dont like FE games, but my kids do, so yeah.

oh, that makes sense... and it's really a bummer for your kids.

maybe you can encourage them to learn english that way, I played Zelda: LttP with an english-spanish dictionary at my side, it really helped me. I had 90% of the game translated on a notebook, lol

 

[Unai]

Wow, this is great!

 

[Marche90]

Awesome deal. Also, good thing that we can register it until the end of August (won't be able to buy it until around the 15th)

Thank you based Atlus/Nintendo.

 

[Teknoman]

I know i'm buying Dream Team physically. Thats just something I want to own, case, boxart, and all.

Very cool!

I wouldnt mind...

 

[Mpl90]

It's working. The game was 30th on Amazon.com, which is great, given the price, its nature, the fact that it's out next week and, above all, Amazon ranking being full of items like download cards / digital games for PC / massive deals that "shouldn't count" while looking at retail games and how are selling over there. Well, it suddenly shot up at 8th.

Thats great for the series. Picking up steam now. If you're an RPG fan and own a 3DS you more than likely already have FE:A and if you don't.....

No reason not to get SMT IV now.

 

[flatearthpandas]

I don't really like Fire Emblem, but if I can find it for $30 I may grab it. SMTIV is on pre-order.
