      Man Ninty should give circle a medal for publishing these unknown Japanese games on the 3DS.

      Digital only isn’t it. I want to play but can’t condone spending money on just digital stuff.

      To be fair, Steam is significantly more reliable and trustworthy with digital purchases than Nintendo.

      No, I don’t. Don’t have an account anymore. Nothing against anyone who does, but I just always prefer to buy physical copies.

      I get that, but nowadays it really is just for the sake of having a pretty box on the shelf. Without updates/dlc the contents on an average game disk night as well be a beta, it’s not like the old days. The desire to get physical copies so you can “own” the game is just an illusion now.

      Part 1 was super cheap though. I think this game falls at the low price end. I found part 1 by accident.
