Thank you very much. Play-Asia it is then. Do you know if they are fast with the shipping? I need the game ASAP!
Also, anyone know if the Aksys store ships to Australia? I think I want the original with the new cover (it's cheap).
And lastly, can someone please reconfirm that amazon wouldn’t ship the watches to Australia? I'm still depressed.

Play asia are great with shipping. Their cheap shipping usually takes about a week to get to me but they have UPS and fed ex as well to use which takes around 2 days to get to australia from my experiences.

What, seriously? I don't recall that option. *checks*
Huh, it's true. I'll keep that in mind for when I order this. Although it has no tracking so chances are I'll pick Fedex anyways. Can anyone explain to me why EMS is the most expensive when it doesn't seem to be the best one though?

I'm pretty sure you can check yourself if it can or not. If you can't then
English VA is only on the US version. Some Europeans wanted English VA so they're importing.

preorder.
Free play-asia shipping takes around 7-8 days (weekdays, not working days) to the Netherlands.

If funds weren't an issue at the moment I'd just click the Buy It Now option, my 999 watch cost about the same and that took a lot of negotiating to obtain.
It's still ridiculous that I can't just give Aksys £50 and buy a watch from their online store, particularly when so many people are prepared to pay scalpers £100 for it.

Hey, if you got it, flaunt it.

People are willing to pay such large sums (for a thing that's actually not worth much) because it is rare. So if you could just buy it from their online store, it would lose its value. And this on the other hand means people wouldn't preorder the games like mad anymore.
Also Amazon.com paid money to get the exclusive rights to offer these preorder watches.

With the news that the european version only has japanese voice acting I'm going to buy a U.S 3DS console. I'm in Australia. What would be the cheapest place to buy from? Also I would need to buy a power adaptor as well correct?
You can use the power adaptor from an Australian 3DS or DSi(/XL).

Yup, but plugs for the US one and the AU one are different.
Now for some good news from RSG, there will be a Vita and a 3DS demo "in the near future".
https://twitter.com/RisingStarGames/status/253791284395917313
And there was advertising for VLR during the most recent EU Nintendo Direct, so let's hope more people know about this game now. They also mentionend 999, so maybe we'll get this as an eShop title in the future.

Can't wait for the demo, plus: really happy about the firm confirmation about 3DS version coming in November here in Europe!

Yeah, Nintendo EU publicly addressing to importers is weird, especially after region locking the 3DS.
When I heard Shibata talking about it it almost looked like 999 was going to be released in EU soon.

This might be a common question but I never played 999, would it be okay to jump into this? Also what's the preferred platform, I have both handhelds.
Byronic Hero
Member
^^^^^^You don't have to per se, but you'll be missing out on a lot, and if you played 999 first, VLR will have that much more impact on you from the get go
Also, playing VLR first will spoil a lot from 999.
So in summary, you should play 999 first if you can
My Suggestion is, since 999 is on DS, going to the 3DS version will feel familiar. The Vita's OLED screen makes the graphics smoother, but the 3DS has two screens and a stylus.
SolarKnight

You CAN, but it's supposedly very recommended you play 999 first. As for preferred platform, it pretty much depends on if you prefer 3D+ dual screen + stylus or Vita's screen and higher resolution.
WrenchNinja

Hmmm, I suppose I could pick up the sequel later since it'll be on the downloadable services. Okay, I'll go play 999 first.

Awesome, remember to post your impressions after you've had your mind blown.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
Yep - seems they've matched Tesco Entertainment's pricing.
Well, since I was going to play with the JP dub in any case, I think I will hold off on the import then, and go with the EU version.

Thoraxes recorded a video of the novel part (the part with the voice acting) from the demo, if you want to get an idea of what the English voices sound like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8bedbUHFfA

Q: Since Rising Star licensed the game directly from the Japanese developers, what are the odds that they're translating it themselves instead of licensing the Arksys translation?
They're using our localization
Also, we're not combined with Arc System Works, we're an independent company, so you can just call us "Aksys"

Will definitely do that!

Is your store going to have shipping to Canada anytime soon?
I want to get a copy of 999 but can't find it anywhere.

Amazon US has it, but it as a different cover than the original.
Maybe sometime in the future, but nothing as of yet >.<
Have you tried Amazon or Gamestop?
Amazon.com is pretty much totally useless to a Canadian.
Gamestop is out of stock
Futureshop and Best buy don't stock your games

Amazon.ca has it (shocking, I know)!

D'oh. In my defence, I was only out by an "r", and the only games that managed to reach my particular shore with the Aksys logo still attached is the original WiiWare versions of the Bit Trip games.

Really? I've never had any problem with the marketplace. Just order from companies with high approval ratings.
Haha, it's not a problem
I just know people get us confused with Arc System Works sometimes, so just wanted to clear up any confusion~
