While the SEGA 3D Classics Collection will be released on April 26th in North America, not every existing 3D Classic game will be included on the cartridge. You can, however, save money completing your collection as SEGA discounted the remaining titles on the Nintendo 3DS eShop. Unfortunately 3D Sonic 2 has been excluded in the sale, but I’m confident SEGA will include it in a future Sonic franchise sale.
This week, NISA Europe opened up preorders for Stella Glow – The Launch Edition for the Nintendo 3DS on their online store.
The launch edition contains the following items:
This edition contains the same items as the US launch edition, for the price of £44.99 GBP. Unfortunately the NISA Europe store still doesn’t support any currencies other than British Pound, but converted to Euro this is about €59 (or $64), not including shipping. Shipping costs within the EU depend on the country you’re shipping to, and can vary from £4.99 (€6.5) in the UK to £29.99 (€39) if you live in Greece.
When asked on their Facebook page, a NISA Europe representative confirmed that the Launch Edition is not a NISA Europe store exclusive, and it will also be made available on the Nintendo store early next week. It’s not clear if other stores will also have access to the Launch Edition, but Amazon apparently won’t as they’re selling the regular edition (price varies from £39.99 on Amazon UK, to €39.99 for Amazon Germany/France, with sometimes free shipping depending on the country of destination).
Stella Glow will be released in Europe on March 11th, 2016 and will be published by NISA Europe.
Stella Glow, the strategy RPG for the Nintendo 3DS developed by Imageepoch, launched in the US today. Its publisher Atlus U.S.A. has also uploaded the launch trailer for the game, which we included below. The game is available in stores and also in the Nintendo eShop. Worth noting is that those who buy the game on the Nintendo eShop will get a bonus in the form of an exclusive 3DS theme. Unfortunately for Imageepoch, Stella Glow is also their final game, as the company filed for bankruptcy earlier this year. The EU release for the game, published by NISA Europe, is scheduled for March 11, 2016.
Following the recent announcement of The Legend of Legacy‘s release date on February 5th, NISAmerica has revealed that Stella Glow will release in Europe on March 11 of next year. It’s good spacing for both of the titles. It also means that most all recent Nintendo 3DS games under the Sega/Atlus banner have been localized so far, barring 7th Dragon III Code: VFD. The importance of including Europe in localization decisions is important, so as to avoid situations like Guilty Gear Xrd: -SIGN- or Shin Megami Tensei IV, though nobody involved wants to repeat anything similar to those titles again.
This was Imageepoch’s last title before they shut down. Besides this, they were also involved in development for the 7th Dragon series.
AtlusUSA has released a new trailer for Stella Glow’s upcoming North American release.
This trailer focuses on the “Harbingers.” In some Japanese RPG’s you will see a group of antagonists, all with different personalities, who serve the main villain and whose often main purpose is to obstruct your progress and support the main villain. That is the role that the Harbingers serve here, as servants of the evil witch Hilda. The Harbingers are the bloodthirsty Dante, pompous and bratty Dorothy, and the dour and fatalistic Hrodulf.

Atlus has released a new trailer for Stella Glow‘s upcoming North American (November 17!) release. It features the four “good witches” of Stella Glow: Lisette, Sakuya, Popo, and Mordimort. They are themed after classical elements, and feature colorful personalities of their own. Frequent readers of our site may remember that the Japanese promotional phase for Stella Glow saw individual trailers for the witches, but this is essentially the same thing.
In addition to releasing a trailer, Atlus have announced the release of the Stella Glow demo for North America. It’s set to be available on October 27, and allows players to test out the prologue chapter of the game. However, data can’t be carried over to the full release as was the case with such games as The Legend of Legacy (which was released earlier this week in North America, by the way.) Perhaps it’s just me, but carrying over data from demos to a full game of RPGs recently seems to feel closer to the norm than away from it. Nevertheless it’s better to be informed of whether or not such a feature will be available!

AtlusUSA is producing English trailers to promote the English release of Stella Glow. This trailer covers the “Knights of Regnant” – more specifically, the 9th regiment of the Knights which features the protagonist Alto and his squadmates Rusty, Archibald, and Klaus. Alto is a spirited young man and acts as you’d expect from a lead protagonist. Klaus is a knight commander who is even-keeled. Archibald possesses a gruff exterior and a strong sense of camaraderie and nobility. Rusty tends to have his mind more on social things than battle or politics. Collectively the Knights of Regnant are tasked with recruiting Song Witches to fight the evil Witch Hilda.
This video is important because it allows viewers to take a look at the English voice acting! Be sure to keep both eyes and ears peeled. Check it out below.
A new trailer for Stella Glow from Atlus U.S.A. shows the game’s “Song Magic” mechanic. Only the five witches in Stella Glow’s world know how to use Song Magic, and one of those witches (Hilda) is actually the game’s antagonist, who wants to use her power to destroy the world. The player assumes the role of the protagonist Alto, who teams up with the four other witches to try and stop Hilda. Using the witches’ Song Magic will be a key component of the game’s battle system. During battle, the “Song Stone meter” will gradually start to fill. Once it has reached a certain level, it allows you to use Song Magic, which can be used in a variety of ways such as damaging the enemy or healing your allies. To acquire more Song Magic, a process called Witch Tuning is used, which we talked about in an earlier article. For more details, watch the new Song Magic trailer below!
Atlus U.S.A. has revealed that Stella Glow, the strategy RPG from Imageepoch for the Nintendo 3DS, will be launching in the Americas on November 17th. The game will be released in both retail and digital form on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo 3DS for the price of $49.99/CA$59.99. Pre-orders and a limited number of launch-day copies will also be receiving a few pre-order items. You can find the list of bonus items below, as described in the official press release:
Atlus’s latest Stella Glow trailer shows the game’s “Witch Tuning” mechanic. As you may recall from our previous articles, the story revolves around Alto (the protagonist) teaming up with four witches to stop another witch, Hilda, from destroying the world. The witches have the ability to use Song Magic, but to unlock their full potential Alto has to enter the witches’ hearts to help them overcome their inner fears. This is done through a process called “Witch Tuning”, where Alto enters a spirit world where the witchs’ fears are represented by monsters, which Alto will have to defeat in battle. If he’s victorious, the witch will unlock a new power (in the video, Sakuya acquires the new Song Magic “Song of Flames”). You can watch the video below for more details.
Stella Glow will be released during the holiday season in North America, for the price of $49.99. The European release date is currently set for spring 2016, where NIS America will be publishing the game.
