Now this is interesting! Hopefully this means more Vita software and, as a result, hopefully more good 3DS releases from Nintendo too. And wow, the Wii U needs some help. D:
That's SE code for, "We know you'd like a localisation, but I'm sure you'll prefer Bravely Default: ios Edition & Final Fantasy XII-4! Coming Westward 2014!"
@AJWolfTill Do you mean Shin Megami Tensei games in general, or the Devil Survivor series only? Since there are quite a lot of other SMT games.
If you just want to start playing the Devil Survivor games, Overclocked is an enhanced port of the first game, Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor, which saw no or very limited release here in Europe iirc. At the moment there are only two games in the Devil Survivor series, Devil Survivor and Devil Survivor 2, however 2 is still yet to release here.
Basically, buy this. Its an enhanced port of the first game and is a great way to get into the series. If you like it, you can get Devil Survivor 2 when it release soonish. It should also be a good way to get into other SMT games too.
@Spark_Of_Spirit Perhaps Ubisoft feel if they release it at a later date on the PS3/360 that will decrease the sales on those platforms? Then again the clash with the release of GTA V would then have to be either a huge mistake or an oversight on their part; which only makes me think we may see another delay in the future.
But still, I don't feel people should boycott a game just due to a delay. Then again, the only ones losing out are themselves, right?
@Spark_Of_Spirit There is in releasing it on multiple platforms though and reaching out to an audience of about 70 times the size of the one currently on Wii U. There's no point running the pointless risk of losing money just so they can go 'Hey, we kept the game exclusive!' to a few Ninty fans.
Haha, so many people saying they're no longer going to buy the game. Well, if the sales do end up being low, that's sure to regain Ubisoft's confidence in Nintendo.
Why does nobody understand that game companies go where the money is? The Wii U is selling just barely reasonably; they've hardly got much of an audience to sell to with the current user base of around 2.5 million.
Hmmmm, the end of the trailer looks like a TV blinking out, Persona 4 style, and the huge ominous moon seems like a reference to Persona 3. I can't wait to get this, but hopefully this also means maybe P5 is coming to the Wii U.
@TheLilK98 I understand what you're saying, but it's quite a lot of effort to go to, especially considering many don't want a CPP due to the mass of extra bulk it adds to the console.
Also, even with brightness at full, the 3DS is no match for the Vita's OLED display; they're pretty much incomparable, not to mention the fact that as of now there is no CPP XL for the 3DS XL, and when it does release the thing will hardly be very portable, and although technically the Vita is not HD, the smaller screen display makes the system very nearly HD, and far more powerful than the 3DS graphically. In essence, you can't have what the Vita can offer on a 3DS even with the mass of accessories available on the system.
@C-Olimar But wouldn't you prefer HD, a brighter, larger screen and dual-analogue to 3D? Maybe I'm in the minority here, but the 3D really doesn't matter to me; I very rarely use it. But anyway, different people have different opinions, but if it was on both the Vita & 3DS, everyone could get what they want out of MH4.
@Magnet_Man018 because the 3DS is far outselling the Vita perhaps? MH would be far more suited to the Vita, but game companies go where the money is, (especially Capcom) and in this case more money is gonna come from the system with the largest user base, aka the 3DS.
@TrueWiiMaster Maybe in terms of sales yes, but gameplay-wise Monster Hunter is far more suited to twin- analogue control; putting your hand into some awkward claw shape position makes the gameplay far more frustrating.
@OverturePT If it was the opposite way around though, with a Vita version being delayed in order to allow for a 3DS version to be made, I'm sure you'd be glad it was happening.
I'll be happy if they launch it on the Vita too; that 5" OLED screen is far superior to anything the 3DS can deliver, although I do doubt it'll happen. But at least we can hope!
A Pokemon game on the Wii U would be awesome! but then again it probably won' t happen. We' ll probably end up with something a step closer to an actual 3D world in the next instalment.
So Takamoto' s pretty much saying the chances of us getting a level editor are slim, and even if it does happen, it'll probably be something very restricted? If it were to happen though, I may consider getting NSMBU.
Good review. Always looked like a generic survival-horror game to me with not much to set it apart from the crowd, but good to see it performed better than I was anticipating.
Ever since Sticker Star was unveiled I've had the feeling it was never going to match up to the rest of the series, and the lack of any interesting companions or NPC's worries me a little, as that's one of the major reasons that the Paper Mario series is one of my favourite. I may hold off buying this for a while, even if it did score an 8.

@Koto Well, ya know. D:
Re: Vita Knocks 3DS Down to Second in the Japanese Charts
@Gamesake Wow. If the Vita is 'grossly overpriced' whilst being sold at a loss, what does that make the 3DS?
Re: Vita Knocks 3DS Down to Second in the Japanese Charts
@DaemonSword Nope, but if you sign up for PS+ then you get a free Vita game pretty much every week, which is always awesome!
Re: Vita Knocks 3DS Down to Second in the Japanese Charts
lol, so many mad Ninty fanboys that can't even realise this is good news. :3

Yay, I'm glad we've finally got a solid release down, even if it is a year late.
Re: Update to Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate To Bring Off-TV Play and Cross-Region Online Multiplayer
Awesome! It's finally worth buying the game if like me, you live in Europe! I think I'll pick this up sometime shortly after release now.

Re: Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate Online Play Will Be Region Locked For Wii U
Well, that's £40 to spend on another game! Specifically, Fire Emblem Awakening when it releases here in April.

Re: Konami Explains Why Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate Is A 3DS Exclusive
IT'S ALL ABOUT THE 3D EFFECT PEOPLES! ITS NOT AS IF KONAMI ARE SELLING IT ON THE 3DS BECAUSE IT'S SOLD MORE THAN THE VITA OR ANYTHING /sarcasm
Seriously, what a lame excuse.
