A-Train for Nintendo 3DS

[miyakoji]

There's an edition of A-Train for the 3DS, it came out about 2 months ago.  As far as I know, this is a simulator where you build a railroad, not drive a train.

Wow, still kicking along.  Looks rather nice!

I try to not buy a 3DS. Sooo hard. :-)

As E231-500 pointed out in the thread about the Nagaragawa Railway game, 3DS systems/games have region-coding capability. Unfortunately, both this game and the other game use that capability, so you will only be able to play this game on a Japanese 3DS.

This is the case when we are forced to get the hacked version if we want to play at all. Not to mention this means you don't even have to get a 3DS, since there are emulators for it. (yes, i know that copyright and region protection helps to increase sales :) )

And this is why I can not play with the Shinkansen simulator on Wii, although I bought it. I do not want to crack my Wii.

 

But for example Densha De Go series run on my PSP without any region code problem.

Good catch.  Some other pages say that a date should be announced at E3 next week.  I'll post here if I see anything.
