I'm still salty they didn't localize the dq theaterhythm game either. Thinking about importing that as even in jpn I probably could play through it well enough. But it's probably too late, expensive and i dunno if they have region lock or not. Usually dlc is region locked bare minimum.
I'm furious we never got Dragon Quest Theatrhythm, and because the 3DS is region locked (and the DLC, which was free in Japan btw, is also region locked), it's too much of a pain in the ass to import it. We can only hope they'll port it to the Switch.
Pocket Card Jockey is great
If you'll all indulge me, I have a wonderful story about that game. I was on my honeymoon in January 2017, when they dropped the Nintendo Switch pre-orders (I stayed up until 4am in the hotel to pre-order that and scared my husband when I woke him up to tell him I got it lol). Well, the eShop was doing a big sale in honor of the upcoming Switch presentation and Pocket Card Jockey was on sale. Curious about the game, I bought it and planned to play it and Dragon Quest VIII 3DS when we got home from out honeymoon.
Halfway through the trip, I started to feel like I was catching a cold. We were at Disney World, so I wasn't surprised I caught something. I managed to enjoy the rest of my honeymoon, despite feeling pretty awful on the last day, and when we got home, I went to bed early. The next morning, I felt like I had been hit by a truck, and thus began a three-week long illness I could only describe as Death Flu. I was coughing so hard and so much I thought my lungs were making their way out and I could barely sleep despite being so exhausted from all the coughing and body aches. I'd get up late in the morning, just to fall asleep on the couch a few hours later. Needless to say, I was in no shape to play a long JRPG like Dragon Quest, but I was able to start Pocket Card Jockey.
That game was my saving grace during that illness. It helped keep my mind working and lift my spirits, and when my husband would get home from work, if he didn't find me asleep, he'd find me playing "Horse Game," as I managed to call it in my stupor (and still call it to this day). Pocket Card Jockey is a great, addictive game on its own, but it holds a special place in my heart for helping distract me from one of the worst illnesses I've ever experienced.
Moral of the story: make absolutely certain you've got your flu shot before going to Disney World, and buy Pocket Card Jockey!
