Shin Megami Tensei IV Double Hero Pack to be released in Japan on April 19
Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Development is currently underway for Shin Megami Tensei V on Switch, though it’ll likely be some time until its release. Shin Megami Tensei IV, meanwhile, has been out for a while now – in two versions no less, SMT IV and SMT IV: Apocalypse (subtitled “Final” in Japan). If you own a Japanese 3DS and have been meaning to catch up on SMT IV, Atlus has got you covered: on April 19, the Shin Megami Tensei IV Double Hero Pack will be released in Japan, which will contain both the standard game and SMT IV: Final. It will cost 4,980 Yen.
No word yet on whether or not this will be released in the West, though it seems somewhat unlikely.

StreetPass Relay Stations shutting down in Japan on March 28
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
StreetPass Relay Stations will soon be a thing of the past in Japan. Today, Nintendo announced that the service will end on March 28. StreetPass itself will still remain functional, but the stations will not.
When a 3DS owner stops by, StreetPass Relay Stations temporarily store their data for games at places such as Nintendo Zones. Then when another person with a system passes by the same relay point, their StreetPass information can transfer over. It’s essentially a passive way of using the 3DS’ StreetPass feature.
