As some of you are likely aware, Stella Glow will be releasing in North America on 17th November. The latest RPG from Atlus will be taking a rather musical approach to things, starring a series of witches that all have musical powers of some sort. We certainly enjoyed it based on some limited hands on time with the game and, if nothing else, it'll certainly present an interesting setting for the SRPG action. In order to get more hype for the game moving (and likely to encourage more digital downloads), Atlus just recently announced an incentive to tempt buyers into picking it up on the eShop.
Any gamers that choose to pick this game up digitally will also receive an exclusive 3DS home screen theme featuring the five leading witches and a rather adorable looking pig. Remember that this will be otherwise unobtainable, which may not sit too well with physical copy purists. Also, here's a few screenshots and some footage of the game in action:
What do you think? Do you intend on picking this up? Are you irritated that this theme is only available to digital buyers? Drop us a comment in the section below.

Well that's unfortunate... still gonna get the physical edition.
Themes, Amiibos, Multi player; it seems that a good single player game is not as important anymore.
Rather than ask about not having a theme unless downloaded, ask about the £5 ($5)saving if you buy a physical copy.
Dayummm. What a bummer.I still want those launch edition goodies though. so i'll just stick with that.
Would it really have been that hard to pack a code with the physical version for the Theme? I mean, there's an entire option for that which nobody seems to use at all!
What I'm angry about is the fact that NISA hasn't brought a single Atlus game home theme in Europe, and doesn't even care to answer any questions regarding them. I've tried many times to get info about home themes for Persona Q, Etrian Mystery Dungeon and Devil Survivor 2, but there has never been any info or even a reply for the matter from NISA. One of Atlus' PR people said that they have sent the themes for evaluation, but still none of them have become available.
And I think it's going to be the same with Stella Glow, and it makes me mad. I would want to have at least the Devil Survivor 2 theme.
Im still waiting for that price drop. Well, at least i think I can hold out that long lol
Well, finally, something for the digital fans... too bad I don't care about this one, but is a good sign
That's nice, but as it's $68 in Canadian eShop, I'll be passing on it until a sale anyway. That's just an unacceptable launch price for a 3DS game.
@SpookyMeths haha there are 3 types of atlus gamers, I think. Newcomers whos minds are blown. Then the release day fans. And then those fans that wait for the inevitable price drop.
I'm still on the fence about this game. The demo was nice, but looking at the offical page I realizes a good deal of the women have WAY to much showing off. And as a girl its like...is this game really something I could play and not be creeped out by the whole time and feel icky?
@Naoiko ahh man, i completely missed the demo, thanks!! Yeah, i see how that might be a bother to you. If they are dressed like that there will be probably a decent amount of super cheesy and unproportional sexual themes that will leave you a little disturbed if the clothing alone bothers you. I mean its rated T with partial nudity and suggestive themes, but I have seen a few "suggestive theme" that went pretty far.
"otherwise unobtainable"
Sometimes they say that and then make it obtainable to all a little while after launch. Sometimes they don't though. I'd prefer they stick to their word and not apply "exclusive" retrospectively to the launch period alone. On the other hand, it opens up the theme for everyone, so I suppose that's actually good. Just all too aware of the duplicity of companies. And Government. And the list goes on.
nice theme but I'm not paying 68 plus tax to download this game digitally. I'm going to wait and see if it will be on sale during black friday, otherwise I will just wait for the price drop. I have enough things pre-ordered for this month that I'm probably not getting this game for a while, what with Christmas coming up and everything.
Its an Atlus game. Itll be 50% off within a month, digitally.
Atlas themes usually cost .99 cents so it's not really much of an incentive. I'm saving 10$ by going through Best Buy so which would I choose. I was mostly digital till I joined this gamers club. 20% off is too hard to ignore.
@russellohh That's not entirely true. It took Persona Q about 6 months for its first sale and it was only 20% off of 50$ here stateside. I took almost a full year to go to 20$ on the shop just recently. I'm still waiting on that inevitable Overclocked 2 sale to drop below 30$
I'm fine with them giving out a a free theme to people who buy it digitally, but it's annoying to not sell it at all for those that don't want the digital version.
I'm not too bothered though because I would have lost interest in this game by the time it reaches Europe.
Screw that, just get the launch edition physical copy. Way better than a few cheap themes and it at least helps to lessen the sting of the Atlus tax.
Plus, no false account system crap to worry about.
@crzysortagamer Very true. Like I played Ar Tonelico in the past and I was like...this is a dating sim with a rpg wrapped around it. Since then, I've been really cautious of games with lots of half dressed women. I don't wanna be sucked into the weird and slightly creepy dating sim thing again. The demo IS fun though which is why I'm torn.
Sorry, I couldn't hear you over my custom themes.
Is this time limited? If I hold out until this game inevitable discount, will I still get the theme?
@crzysortagamer It's about $10-15 over what even Atlus usually charges for 3DS games.
I'll take the cloth poster than come with the physical version instead.
@Spoony_Tech This. After getting the 'Gamers Unlocked' membership my shopping at Best Buy has increased quite a bit. Paying $48 for new PS4 games is hard to beat.
I won't be gloating with envy. I will be gloating with mirth when something happens to the digital copy and I can still play my physical edition.
Why can't you let people buy it who don't want the digital version
I love the demo. The story and gameplay is different but the character art is just like a Hexyl force for psp and that game is awesome. I'm totally going digital with this one I'm just wondering when it's coming out. The Story is intriguing from what I saw from the demo I really really like it. I just hope there's some sort of map or maybe a town. It's the first day purchase, but I just hope the towns aren't just cut scenes.
Nov. 17.
The demo was pretty fun but im still on the fence.
@Naoiko I played through the whole game and I only saw two female characters who I whould consider underdressed (Hilda and Nonoka). Some might say Mordi is so three if you count her. All the others the only thing showing is clevage. And that's actually pretty modest when you talk of things that come to the world from Japan. I've played many JRPGs and watched a lot anime. And they had much more.
