*sigh*… emulation never has been, and never will be, legal if you own the cartridge. It is illegal, no matter what loops you try to jump through.
ah,lol I was fooled from someone who said that to me :P
Well…I guss it doesn’t make any difference :)
It’s cool, homes. Just don’t want you to get in trouble. ;)
Anyone have any idea how many seasons of TextFugu you have to get through to be able to play a game like Pokemon?
Thinking of getting into that and probably Legend of Zelda 3DS as well. On the last lesson of Season 3 and really looking forward to being able to actually use some of the Japanese that I have learned.
@Ishizue Muto
I’m currently about halfway into season 4, and I imported どうぶつの森 and ポケモングリーン. While I can pick up a lot of key phrases, it’s incredibly useful to use these two as they both primarily use hiragana as opposed to heavy kanji. I know Zelda uses kanji whenever it can because it’s intended for teens/adults, and I’m not entirely sure about okurigana. But I would stick to JPN Animal Crossing/Pokemon. Again, I’m 100% caught up with everything I need to know at this point in Season 4, and I’m still constantly looking up vocab on Genki Jishou. A lot of NPC’s will use slang dialect depending on their age/social class/gender, so don’t be surprised if you don’t recognize a word or the structure of a sentence at first glance!
Just one quick thing to consider: the 3DS is not region-free; therefor, you need a JPN 3DS to play Zelda 3DS/any JPN 3DS game. However, the original DS is not region-locked, so you’re safe with Diamond/Pearl, JPN AC: Wild World, Spirit Tracks/Phantom Hourglass, etc.
Thank you for the reply Evan!
Just finished Season 3 and doing Lv 2 Kanji in WaniKani.
I do have a imported 3DS and imported Pokemon HeartGold. Just noticing that there are a lot of vocab that I don’t know so I have to play infront of the computer with jisho.org open so I can translate some words.
Was just curious as to when I could expect to stop having to rely so heavily on the jisho and truly enjoy the game.
Have to say that I love it when I learn new particles and verbs in TextFugu, and being able to use it right away in the game!
My Nintento 3ds LL is arrived 2 days ago from Japan,together with Fire Emblem Awakening & Monster Hunter 3G.
I actually know all the Vocab from JLPT5 & half from the JLPT4, also all the Kanjis from JLPT5 & 4 and I’m at the middle of the Season 5 here on Textfugu…& I can tell you that this is totally not enough to play those games ç_ç
I started with monster hunter & I can pick some word here & there,but totally not enough to keep up with the dialogues of the game,first because the game have only kanji (no hiragana mode or furigana) & also because the pixels of the screen make really hard to identify most of the kanji,so the only way is to know them already…
I didn’t even bother to try Fire Emblem,because that game have an awesome story & character development,so playing it now would simply ruin me the experience I can have when I become more proficient with this language.
So,basically I’m stucked with 2 awesome & impenetrable games,any suggestion on how to proceed? :(
Based on my level & knowledges,what DS/3DS game should I purchase to make some considerable progress toward the learning by playing? :PBased on my level & knowledges,what DS/3DS game should I purchase to make some considerable progress toward the learning by playing? :P
Interesting,I didn’t know those games,I’ll definitely keep an eye on those,by the way,the third one where you say “and this” is just an image of a girl xD
Now I am really looking into this other one,do you guys know it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIMielXCsDg :)
