--- Quote from: stevey on July 03, 2019, 11:21:39 PM ---Are there any other games with similar cart failures? --- End quote --- I had a physical copy of Puzzle and Dragons that locked up every time I got to the tutorial battle with the two goombas. I updated the game and the 3DS and it didn't change anything. I assume the cartridge memory had a defect because it worked fine when I tried another cartridge of the same game. My own speculation is that there is a software bug if this problem is restricted to the first print of PQ. 3DS carts aren't made for any specific game. They are blanks that are programmed with ROMs and labeled with a sticker (probably). Something about the ROM is not right I'm guessing. It may not be related to the firmware version but to something less obvious like time/date or the presence of certain files or other software on the 3DS memory or SD card, or there could be a memory conflict in the RAM because of home screen themes or whatever. It would be nice to know exactly what the issue is. |

I was sent an eShop download code as replacement after sending in the cartridge for verification, so they could confirm the cartridge was defective. However, there were mixed messages and tones from the different customer service reps before getting to this stage, and they also refused to answer any questions about why it just stopped working (despite the first rep admitting this was a known issue with the game). Considering the cost of international shipping that met their requirements, I probably could have just waited for an eShop sale to purchase the digital version myself... The whole transaction left me feeling like they didn't trust me and/or were reluctant to admit and fault or take responsibility if they didn't have to. So not exactly a glowing commendation for the Atlus customer service team. Still, at least I can play the game now - I'm thankful for that, even though I would STRONGLY prefer to have a working physical version. |

The game is on sale now on the eshop so I picked it up. Thanks for the heads up on the physical version. |
