[SuperWaffleNinja]

When is rune factory 4 coming to Europe and why does it take so long?

[MENTION=59870]SuperWaffleNinja[/MENTION]; Spring 2014. Nintendo always takes their sweet time to release games in Europe. It's out here in the U.S., but I haven't bought it yet. Sucks the 3DS is region locked.

I live in the US so I never tried this, but apparently if you have a European 3DS, you can set up a US eShop account and download US 3DS games and play them on your EU 3DS. I would do some research before I did that though. Worth a try ar least.

how do i change my eshop region?

It's unfortunate to say but I don't think it will get released. I have been waiting for this one myself but then I saw this.

I think it is. Even more so for Shin Megami Tensei 4.

I live in the US so I never tried this, but apparently if you have a European 3DS, you can set up a US eShop account and download US 3DS games and play them on your EU 3DS. I would do some research before I did that though. Worth a try ar least.

I tried doing this with my EU 3DS, and no matter what I did I would constantly be shown the EU E-shop. The same thing with my US 3DS I cannot reach the EU E-shop, not that I need it in any given way since I now have both.

If you're gonna get a US 3DS while living in the EU, don't bother importing the games (unless your country has like no taxes on shipped stuff and what not) and simply download them from the E-shop. While setting up your US account and you will be asked about which state you live in and the state zip number or some other number. You can simply go with a random state and then google a number that matches.

Your European Visa will most likely not work with the US E-shop, at least mine didn't, but you can circumvent this by buying prepaid cards in places such as Play-Asia, which should work with European Visa. They usually give you the code within 24 hours and the service is reliable. You may be able to find cheaper places, though.

if nintendo would just drop that stupid region lock but oh well, i heard the rune factory team was working on a new game called forbidden magna and it looked quite promising
