I actually think it's a pretty good compromise, considering they don't both fit on one cartridge.  I'm happy with this decision.  Might pick up for Vita after all.

Regarding LEGO: I remember somewhere (but can't remember where) that they're dropping the DS as a console for titles in the future. So we'll at least get games up to par with 3DS standards, which is okay - it's a hell of a lot more capable a console than the DS is.

Pokémon is a game for pokémon fans. If you dont like pokémon its just a grindy fest with little story. Yes, there are lots of pokémon fans though. 

Etrian odyssey does not compare to P4G. Its has simplistic presentation with 2D graphics for the most part and a first person dungeons navigation. SMT4 is better but it still holds to 2D graphics on battles aswell.

I dont understand how you say SMT4 is good but the gameplay on P4G is bad? How can it be bad? All you do is move on envyronments talking to people and running into monsters in dungeons (and opening chests). The batlle is where the meat is and that is very strategic and enjoyable. I wouldnt even have looked twice to the SMT series if it werent for the Persona 3/4 games. The ammount of character development and the quality of the story is leagues ahead anything that was put out for the 3DS. The graphics are full 3D and quite pleasant aswell as the soundtrack.

Most of all though, Persona isnt grindy. And that is extremely important when measuring the wide appeal of a JRPG.

Oh and i do have a 3DS and i have played and beaten pokémon Y. I do not limit myself to only one device nor do i go to the internet to rile people up and say how much better system X is compared to System Y. That annoys me, wether i have the system or not and i will speak up against it. If you want to hate someone, hate the companies and their policies, but none of the consoles on the market is inherently a bad product. 32X... THAT was a bad system.

But ONE physical and ONE digital. It's madness!

(nothing to do with OCD, honest).

Not yet, it wasn't even suposed to arrive. 

It should by friday tho, by what they said. 

I just want FFX anyway so I'm happy as no nuked memory card space :D Possibility even to recoup quite a bit of my outlay if I resold the FFX-2 voucher.

I own a 3DS, I could pick up Etrian Odyssey any time I like, but I choose not to because it simply doesn't look that great. SMT4 isn't out in Europe, yet I wouldn't be interested anyway. I already have Pokemon Y, and although it's great, I still don't think it holds a candle to P4G.

Your opinion of P4G really is going against the grain, so don't state it like it's a fact. I and many others think that it's gameplay is great, and is overall one of the best games of the 8th gen so far. Reviewers seem to collectively agree, being the 2nd highest rated JRPG of all time on GameRankings.

I'm just impressed that they're putting FFX on the cart instead of X-2.

True.

PS: HOLY SHIT, YOU'RE BACK.
