Re: Import Copies Of Final Fantasy X | X-2 HD Remaster Include Two Game Cards

@IHateTombs Yes, but Japan and Asia are two different "game regions". Japan is Japan while Asia is Hong Kong, Taiwan, etc. Play-Asia is a Hong Kong based company. They sell Asian Chinese versions and Asian Japanese versions in addition to European and American versions. The FF X copy in question is the Asian English release and not the Japanese release.

And adding to the confusion, Singapore and Malaysia use the American game region.

For reference, the Vita version was separated intoc two different releases in both Japan and Asia, but only the Asian version had English.

Re: Yoshi’s Crafted World Is Getting A Physical Release In Japan With Just A Download Code Inside

@RupeeClock It's not wrong. You're the one who's missing the point. Had you read the article you'd see that NoJ are giving customers three options: normal physical, normal digital, case + download code (exclusive to the NoJ store). This stuff is overblown to the point where it shouldn't even get a separate article, specially not with that click-bait headline, which reads like Japan isn't getting a cartridge release at all.

Re: Nintendo Is Considering A Successor To The 3DS According To Its New President

Taking the total (3)DS line sales into account, it would be bizarre to abandon it. No one knows if the Switch can be a 100% DS replacement.

They could develop and release a new DS system and it would sell 20 million no problem, so it’s a no-brainer to me. I think it’s about what Nintendo’s ambitions and sales targets would be for a potential successor.

GameCube’s problem isn’t video quality, it’s the fact that most of the best games are available on newer consoles. The only games I miss that I can’t get elsewhere on newer consoles now that Luigi’s Mansion is coming to 3DS, are Super Mario Sunshine, Killer7, Viewtiful Joe and Chibi-Robo! Chibi-Robo got a New Play Control release for the Wii in Japan but it was sadly never localized.

Re: Soapbox: Switch's Rampant Success Is Proof Positive That You Should Never Write Off Nintendo

@Caryslan Very well put! Take a look at lifetime worldwide sales of Nintendo handhelds:

Game Boy/Color - 118.69 million
Game Boy Advance/SP/Micro - 81.51 million
Nintendo DS/Lite/DSi - 154.02 million
3DS/New 3DS - ~70 million

That's a staggering 424.22 MILLION handheld units sold.

That's more than all the consoles releases in the history of mankind COMBINED. And then on top of that you have first party software sales for those handhelds and THEN you have the home consoles. Insane.

Re: Nintendo Download: 23rd March (Europe)

Been waiting on sales for Steamworld Heist, Crimson Shroud, and SEVERED but I have three N3DS XLs and one N3DS but none of them are European :[

Also got the physical bundle of the three BOXBOY games for my JP N3DS XL so an empty week for me. Will check out reviews for Has-Been Heroes as it's been on my radar for quite some time but might go physical either way.
