Already played through the original DS version, but all the extra content really makes it tempting to pick up! Not to mention some of those decals look pretty sweet on the back of the car.

If only they didn't have to impose the Atlus tax

Arrgh, yes! One of the most annoying things in the original game was not being able to remember which unique monsters I defeated to earn Affinity Coins! Now I won't have to make a separate Word document!

Pretty cool, now they should do a tutorial on how to remove the Link amiibo from his stand and replace it with his figma...WITHOUT REMOVING IT FROM THE BOX!

@ueI The first game had DLC all priced at 0.99 USD, so yeah, the western release will probably be priced the same.

@FiveDigitLP I don't know about the other games, but SMT4 was definitely open with their advertising of the soundtrack. When I preordered it, Amazon's product page specifically told me that it would only contain 8 tracks.

And it's not like they had to include any soundtrack to begin with. The article states that this OST will cost about $37, just like most OSTs, so it's not like you should just expect them to give it to you.

@Thearnaud44 Dude, have you even looked at that CD? There's only 8 tracks in it, and only 1 is actually from the game (the other 7 are from other games in the series). It was just a little bonus for early buyers, not a full soundtrack.

Super excited about this! I'm a huge fan of OSTs and loved the boss music in this game so much!

@WYLD-WOO You. I like you.

@ikki5 I totally agree with this, but for different reasons. I don't have a Wii U, so clearly the offer isn't for me, but that's only cause I'm waiting for a cool limited edition console. I have a special 3DS XL, have a ton of games for it, both physical and download only, and I qualify as a Platinum Club Nintendo member every year, so I consider myself a huge Nintendo fan (I do go to this site frequently, after all, lol).

So it kind of sucks that Nintendo doesn't seem to acknowledge me as a "huge fan".

@Tobias95 I've played the first game in the series. There's way too much voice acting/text (that NEEDS to be dubbed to keep the atmosphere of the game) and too little of an interest outside Japan for these games to ever be localized.

If you really want to try out the series, you can import the original game for DS. It's like Nintendogs...but with your girlfriend O_o

@Tobias95 lol, that's DEFINITELY not happening. not a single game in the series has been officially localized.

@Nareva No, it's one shared balance account. You have to make sure you register your Nintendo ID as the same name on both systems, otherwise they won't be connected to each other.

Does anyone remember them saying anything about your previous balance being transferred to the new account system?

@DaveGX Since when were Mega evolutions of Pokemon considered their own separate species?

@tripunktoj Totally agreed, many of the previous swaps had interestingly different enough backgrounds to justify other people playing as them. But hopefully this is just a costume change, because otherwise it would just be like having the male and female Pokemon Trainer as separate characters (w/ same Pokemon).

@Arcamenel Same here bro.

I think the Pikachu one is better anyway, cause it's more eye-catching to those who aren't familiar with Pokemon/Nintendo.

Wait...but wasn't he in the trailer for the 3DS stages (the one based on Spirit Tracks) as a background character? OMG Toon Link-ception! O_o

Either way, Xenoblade Chronicles is a great game.

@Zach777 Uhh what're you talking about? All versions of the game came out in July, except for the NA one which comes out in a few days, only a month later. And I hope you're not gonna complain about a month...
