3DS

Update: Bumped to the top. The 20% Prime discount is now live for Prime members.


Last week, XSEED announced that Corpse Party 3DS will be localized for North America this summer. The game will be sold on the eShop, but a limited “Back to School Edition” physical release is also being made available. Amazon now has this up for pre-order here.

Corpse Party: Back to School Edition includes a couple of special items. Along with the game, you’ll receive high-quality miniature figurines of characters Naomi Nakashima and Seiko Shinohara plus a soundtrack CD. The CD includes nearly 80 minutes of music from the game not previously featured on the “Songs of the Dead” compilation, including three tracks exclusive to the 3DS version.

Update 3 (4/18): Bumped to the top again. The 20% Prime pre-order discount is finally live on Amazon.


Update 2 (4/16): Bumped to the top. Now available for pre-order on GameStop here.


Update: This is now live on Amazon Canada here.


Original (4/15): Yesterday, Atlus announced that Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse is heading to North America this summer. Pre-orders for the game are now starting to go live.

You can reserve Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse on Amazon here. The 20 percent discount isn’t up for Prime members yet, but it should be soon.

We’ll keep you informed as other retailers open up pre-orders.

The Bravely Second Collector’s Edition is available again for purchase at GameStop. You can get an order in here. If it sells out, we’ll update this post.

According to a listing on Nintendo’s European website, Monster Hunter Generations takes up 12,534 blocks. That amounts to 1.56GB.

We’re expecting this size to translate similarly in North America. It may differ slightly (the Japanese version was 12,199 blocks / 1.49GB), but it should be right around 1.5GB.
