Nintendo's downloadable game release decisions must be run by a GIANT roulette wheel. Every game is a different slot and each ball is a different territory.
Oh, and also the table is rigged so that NOA gets no good games EVER!
What's the hold up on picross e in US? It's gotta be just the cost of hosting it on the servers, and maybe getting the ESRB rating, right? I mean, the game's done, it wouldn't need localization, there's no distribution or printing costs... I don't get it.
BRING IT OVER, Jupiter!
BRING IT OVER, Jupiter!
It's goddamned criminal that they haven't...
I guess it's my fault for trusting IGN's page on it from a quick google search to be accurate, so fair enough. Why is Jupiter holding off on releasing it?

Tuesday's not the normal update day to begin with.

Not actually that important
It's one more thing than what usually goes up on Wednesdays, which is nothing.
Sure, but they did the Wii U release so the 3DS gets nothing?
BTW, THE CAVE IS NOT OFF-SCREEN CAPABLE.
Thus, I am not buying it...
That's and odd decision, given that other developers have claimed off-screen play requires very little additional coding...
I must admit, now I'm unsure as to whether I'll buy it or not...
We'll get more stuff tomorrow as usual.

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
The sending of the fb to the Gamepad might be trivial, but getting your content to look proper might not be - messages might need larger fonts, some camera adjustments might need to me made to make interactive screen elements the right size, etc.
That said, it is unfortunate if the game does not feature off-tv play, but that's not a dealbreaker for me personally.

Sounds just about how I felt about Trine. A good game, and a fun one, but it had a lack of polish and slightly sloppy control issues as well.
Not having off screen is basically a deal breaker for me at that price.
Maybe one day if it goes on sale.
Honestly though unless the game is fantastic or actually uses both screens in an interesting and useful manner I'm going to generally stick with games that can be played only on the screen.

While it won't be a deal breaker period for me, it does mean I won't bother considering it over other versions if they don't take advantage of the second screen.

No The Cave for us Euros? ;_;
Trine I would think. The cave seems like a lot of retreading after the first play through.
3 play throughs are required to see all possible endings.
Trine is just beautiful.
Just my opinion.

Actually we get the game + demo.

There's an EO IV demo coming, someone make a thread! I need to go.

IGN harped on framerate issues with the 360 version, how does The Cave run on Wii U?
Carries over to the physical copy as well? Same restrictions as the Japanese demo I guess with the level 10 cap?
Tomorrow Jan 23, both demo and full game.
yep
Niiiiiiice. I'll be playing the heck out of the demo then.
Yes, and don't know. Wouldn't be surprised if there's a cap though. Otherwise, you could grind for awhile and break the real game.

Good on... whoever's publishing EO4 for doing simul-eShop/retail release. Needs to happen for all games.
Nope.
Atlus was pretty awesome about that on the PSP; when they finally went day 1 digital, they also went back and got most of their back catalog on the system available for download. It's good to see them do that for the 3DS, as well, especially with the SMT titles on the horizon.
Why is the demo being free something they feel they have to mention?yep
Because I'd pay all my moneys for it
You can pick up the EO series with any of the titles. Each have their own quirks, but you're not missing out on story, or anything. Atlus is reprinting the first three as well, if you want more after EO4.

All I know at this point is that the eShop version is supposed to come out sometime between now and the end of the first quarter. I emailed Shin'en a week ago asking if they had a definitive release date yet but haven't heard back.

Just checked and it looks ok on my end.
So when you go to one of the games in the demos section on the front page, say ZombiU, there's more options than just "More details" and "Purchase"?
