For you RPG fans out there, those who pick-up Shin Megami Tensei IV and register both it and Fire Emblem: Awakening with Club Nintendo will get $30 towards the Nintendo eShop.

Considering SMTIV is pretty expensive that can be a bit of a relief towards DLC or your next game. This promotion is likely in support of the crossover game SMT x FE announced earlier.

Personally speaking I have SMTIV pre-ordered (it's coming out the 16th of this month, July) and already registered Awakening so I'm looking forward to a little extra cash to spend on the Awakening DLC I haven't picked up yet (especially since I'd like to pick up more DLC on my 2nd 3DS and this would help).

I'm not sure if I'll take advantage of this, but it's definitely a good sign that Nintendo is really starting to/really cares about this crossover. This might be an indirect way of telling us that the two teams are going to actually put a lot of work into it!

Perhaps, I'd like that. Something with actual depth gameplay wise and story-wise. Project X Zone was epic in that it was a crossover and whatnot... but the other places were lacking. Despite that, PXZ is a fun game. So when I imagine something like PXZ but with even better gameplay and an actual plot people can really appreciate, that's just like, well, let's just say I imagine it to be hella awesome lol

I can't wait until SMTIV come out. So hyped.

But I really hope I get the promotion bonus because I got the 3DS bundle one and when I registered it on club Nintendo it registered as a 3DS so I hope I get the promotion bonus.

I also like that they are doing some advertising for this game.

Hm... Have they announced a release price? If it's under 50$ I might have to take them up on this.

Are you talking about SMTIV? If so then it is $50, all copies. First print copies have a strategy guide and bonus soundtrack included with it. But other copies and e-shop version (I believe there's going to be one) are $50 still. Coming out on the 16th.

It's hella expensive but that's why this $30 bonus thing is great means I'm getting it for even cheaper kinda (plus I traded in some games that I got a 60% trade bonus in for more joy)

Is this going to be for Europe as well?

I'll definitely be picking up the crossover game. I've never played a Shin Tensei game though, so wondering if I should play some of those before I get the crossover?

So I got the sweet $30 though I don't really know what to do with it.

And SMTIV is amazing.

Serph playing another one of the SMT titles isn't necessary but it helps. This game I heard is more accessible than the other SMT titles. If you really want to try another game before this than I would recommend Persona 3 and 4 since they are pretty accessible but those games focus on character interaction more than the occult themes and darker story. But Persona is helpful to learn the spells since for the most part they share the same name in both games.

Also a tip for the series is grind A LOT. Otherwise you will get decimated. Or in SMTIV you could just die twice and get the ability to alter the difficulty but even then grinding is necessary.

@Seraph no idea, I'd definitely keep an eye and ear out for that.

I'm also picking up the crossover game (naturally) once it comes out and I get a WiiU and all, that's a LARGE part of my motivation for getting this game; aside from the fact that it's an RPG of a somewhat popular series and the day-1 edition stuff is tempting, I'd like to have at least a SMALL background in SMT, since I can't seem to get enough motivation to play the older games/figure out what the whole series is truly about.

@Cero nice, glad to hear it works/isn't a scam XD. I know I intend to spend it on Awakening DLC since I've yet to buy everything. XP

I picked up my copy this afternoon but I haven't even opened it yet, I might not even open it for a while just given how many other games are up my alley.

As for trying aNOTHER one idk if that was his point but if it was then yeah it might be better to start with some other games... but for me it's hard for me to play retro games or plain older games in general if I don't already like the series. I just can't get motivated because in general I think gaming now adays is simply better than old gaming so I need to already like the series to be able to look past stuff like poor graphics and such (or else I need to have played the game before it was outdated/retro/whatever). Not sure if this makes sense but in other words I'd like to get a good start with SMTIV and if I'm interested after I can go back and try some of the older games.

I hate grinding so that's a terrible first impression for me. I really look down upon grinding because it's like filler game time, it's just wasting my time. I want something that moves forward and is compelling. Unless the battle system is so awesome I WANT to start battles, I really don't want to grind, and in most games it isn't, most games have boring generic battles and only boss battles are all that fun. Grinding is one of the main reasons I have to switch up between RPG's a lot because a lot of RPGs require some level of training and some require the next level, grinding, i.e. going out of my way to get experience, money, etc... and it gets tiring and games where I can push through fast or there's no leveling up (like say FE8 or Super Mario Galaxy to name a couple of thousands of potential examples, the former of which can be beaten without much trouble without grinding, and the latter in which one simply progresses from level to level without there being much benefit in being a completionist [unlike Mega Man games] or defeating all the enemies [aside from getting coins/star bits for 1-ups]) are generally more enjoyable to play for longer periods of time/less draining at least.

/ramble

Well anyhow I'll let you guys know once I do this, it ends August 31st but I sincerely doubt I'll wait much longer than August to open the game and register it and stuff...

I'm pretty sure this game will come to Europe eventually. Maybe by like November. Atlus does EU releases horribly.

@Blazer. Yeah I don't enjoy grinding that much as well. You have to enjoy the dungeon crawling aspect of the game for this game to be good. Basically from the beginning you need to grind a lot not only because the regular enemies are pretty tough but the games throws you a super though battle pretty early into the game. It is nice that game allows you to pay to not get a game over. The battle system is fun with it's demon negotiating and other stuff it is pretty fun.

I feel like a lot of companies do EU releases horribly >_<;

As for SMTIV, I think I'll just play on easy mode, especially if the only real differences are like, buffed stats or something. In some games the AI is actually coded significantly differently for different difficulties but others it's just a matter of training or getting money for good weapons or items or something and that's not a whole ton of fun nor is that the kind of difficulty I'd ever brag about beating lol (I'd rather just beat the game quickly and have a mixture of challenge with good pacing).

If you wanna play on easy mode then you need to die twice before the option is given to you.
