3DS

In Japan, more copies of Conception II will be available for the PlayStation Vita and the 3DS. Publisher Spike Chunsoft will send out 60,000 units for Vita and another 30,000 units for 3DS.

As far as the split goes, Siliconera points out that there are more games on Sony’s handheld geared toward the “otaku” userbase as opposed to the 3DS, which Conception II fits into. The original Conception was also a PSP-only release. Spike Chunsoft could be banking on consumers upgrading to Vita and supporting the sequel.

So here’s something strange. In North America, Etrian Odyssey IV’s demo can be accessed thirty times. The same demo just recently came out in Europe. Oddly, users can only boot it up three times.

What’s the deal here? According to European publisher NIS America, it’s “Nintendo rules”.
