Obtaining Super Smash Bros 4 Early In September?

[\\Killer//]

As well know, SuperSmashBros. for Nintendo 3DS is coming out to the U.S 10/3/2014

But what most people don't know or tend to forget is that new JP version of the Smash Bros game comes out a month Before, 9/13/14 to be exact.

Now....As a loyal fan I'm willing to wait a month later and yet, my heart races for a chance to play the game as soon as possible.

And with that I ask for help with smash community; Does anyone know how to obtain the JP Version of this glorious game?

You'll probably want to buy the JP Version online when it comes out; I'm pretty sure it's possible. Hopes that answers your question.

I would love too, however I don't know a good website on where I can place my order.

Unfortunately, the 3DS is region locked, if you weren't aware. So you would need a JPN 3DS too, which imo is not worth it.

That's not a problem in my case, I just need to know where I can buy the game itself.

Any Ideas?

Play Asia is probably one of your best bets. That, or just get it digitally on Japan's Eshop.

Just to clarify, obeymalleo probably meant to buy the DIGITAL version in the eshop. Why would you need to look for a shop?

Ohh I see, thank you

I'll check that out as well, but if don't happen to find anything. Any other suggestions?

You may be able to find it on the usual Amazon or Ebay type online buying sites, or maybe some game stores in Japan that ship internationally.

Or just use the eshop. If you have the Japanese 3DS already, it should connect to the Japanese eshop, which should list Smash bros for sale on the 13'th of september.

No probs. I'm actually going to be doing the same thing, and there's a thread in this subforum for sharing japanese friend codes if you want people to smash with early!

Thanks for the news, Captain Obvious.

Thanks for the news, Captain Obvious.

He was asking how to get Smash Bros. for 3DS when the game is released in Japan, hence why he said "early in september". You should actually finish reading before you make comments like that.

 

[Ryuji]

If you're willing to make an account on Amazon JP, you can most likely find a copy there. Just be sure you can find a seller who will ship internationally.

I did read the entire article, and there are too many others like it, that I've also read in full,on this site, plus the fact that EVERYONE wants Smash early. Thus, the reasons why it's Obvious.

Well no need to have a bad attitude about it.

It wasn't having a bad attitude, at all. It was just correcting the mistakes of misinformed people who posted here.

 

[melito]

does anyone know about the r4 for 3ds? I think that can make 3ds region free. and you can buy the *** ver of smash and play it in us 3ds. I am not sure tho.

 

[ElectricCitrus]

Could probably find a copy of the japanese game on the japanese version of amazon
(amazon.jp), otherwise Play Asia or the Eshop are you best bets.

 

[Fire Tactician]

I'm planning on buying a Japanese eShop points card from Play Asia (apparently they send you the code via email) and setting up my 3DS early with the points so that I don't run into a problem with funds on the day of release. Then I can download it the moment it releases (which is 11 am, September 12th on the East Coast, right?). Does anyone know exactly how many points Smash is going to be?

 

[SmashHole '82]

That might be a problem. The Western 3DS eShop here doesn't take points, but money only, and you would still have to get the game from the Western menu.
And the region-locking would also make it impossible... if it took the Asian cards at all!
If any of this doesn't happen, then the time would be 10:00 p.m. Eastern Time, September 12th (Friday night), but I seriously doubt it.

Oops, I forgot to mention that I have a Japanese 3DS already... I thought that was a given... But I'm not wrong in thinking that I shouldn't have a problem getting it at release time then, right?

Huh, so the Japanese version will be released at 11 am Japan time on the 13th (Japan)? That seems odd... so they don't do midnight releases there?

I didn't know you endorsed piracy.

Pretty much this.

But I think someone is bound to make a live stream when the 3DS version comes out in Japan next month.

I am not getting an extra 3ds.**** that.ha

If you live in or near Japan, there shouldn't be a problem, but anywhere else (like North America) might pose problems for things like the long-distance wi-fi signal, and the account. I would definitely do my homework before taking the plunge. As for the time, it should be a midnight launch around the world, digitally, in each local time zone.
According to the thread SSB4 Exposure Stream Opening on September 13th ft. RelaxAlax as co-host, they're starting the stream around 11 a.m. Japanese time, with a physical copy.

Ah, gotcha. Thanks for the advice- I'll look into it a bit more. I'm over in NA, so I'll just have to be vigilant once I straighten things out.

I know your safe if you have 6000 points, but i'm having trouble remembering the exact price... I know there was an online advertisement for the Japanese version that stated the blocks it took to download and the price, but I've spent the last week looking for it with no luck. Anyone know where it is?
