So should I wait for reviews of this before getting the other EO 3DS game? Is there a serial narrative throughout the games?

Sir_Crocodile · Oct 30, 2013

Cool, it's getting a physical release. EO4 must have done ok.

cw_sasuke · Oct 30, 2013

Day 1 - with my luck they will probably release SMT 4 and EO:TMG in a span of two weeks.

Reviews are already out. The game's been out in NA already.

No serial narrative, play either one. I think arguments can be made for starting with IV or Untold. Untold will be easier. Get whichever you fancy. I think if you like whichever one you pick, you'll end up getting the other.

Both are good, but IV is better, get that one. There is a narrative but it isn't shoved on your face all day.

haha so true, can't complain though, we've waited long enough for both.

I beat the story boss in EO4 a few weeks ago, decided to give the game a break for a while and play Pokemon. I've still got Soul Hackers to complete which also came at an unfortunate time; two weeks after EO4 and a few weeks before Pokemon. Why can't I hold all these games!
Nevertheless, I can't wait for this, should be ready for more EO next year, thanks NISA(E)!

NISA doing good by us. How come this gets announced before SMT IV though?

toastyToast · Oct 30, 2013

NISA does what SEGA don't

Shame the preorder stuff never makes it over though.

RpgN · Oct 30, 2013

Thank you NISA, EOIV was a good surprise. EOU will be day 1 again!

Now...

Where the hell is Shin Megami Tensei IV?! It was already announced through Ninendo Direct prior to Atlus being taken over by Sega. So I can assume that's still the case now that this is announced?

L~A · Oct 30, 2013

For Shin Megami Tensei IV, the game is most likely published by Nintendo (it's showing on one of the press servers, where only games published by Nintendo are listed). Which means it's probably gonna get a FIGS localisation... and they're already quite busy with Bravely Default, so I guess it'll be early 2014 (february/april would be my guess).

redlemon · Oct 30, 2013

Nice to see a physical release. EOIV has really surprised me in how much I enjoyed it. I'll be definitely be getting this.

Thanks friends. I will probably get IV for Christmas then get Untold if I like it

Bitmap Frogs · Oct 30, 2013

These are great news. I will have to remember to preorder this one, I was this close to not getting a physical copy of EO4.

Meanwhile, Nintendo Europe is still busy mining its arse for shit nuggets while SMT4 rots in their vaults.

Anyways, the 3DS is ON FIRE! If you're a gamer you're making your self a disservice by ignoring this fine gaming machine!

NISA is on a EU announcements roll these days. Haven't they announced, like, 4 or 5 games since last week?

Etrian Odyssey 4 was amazing so this is a day one purchase. NISA, keep them coming.

FlynnCL · Oct 31, 2013

Really happy by this news. I was afraid it wouldn't come to Europe.

Definitely going to buy this when I can.

krossj · Oct 31, 2013

Excellent! IV was good and the first game was great. Interested to see how this turned out.

Need to start 2 and 3 some day.

Ys getting a european release is a nice surprise also.

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
