Check your games, folks! You should have received your first batch of tomatoes for the Debut promotion. I got 9 here because one of my codes didn't seem to work. Guess I'll get some more songs and maybe we can play this weekend?
The game always comes with 100 tomatoes. In physical versions, the box includes a code for them (which shouldn't expire, but I'll check mine to see if there's a date when I get the chance), and digital versions automatically have the 100 tomatoes. Once you receive the tomatoes in the game, you have 5 months until they expire. Each tomato is good for 1 song, and there are other goods, like special Vocaloid voices or music videos, that cost several tomatoes. To put things simply, the game essentially comes with 100 songs, which you have 5 months to download.
More info is available here, and the visuals should be helpful even if you can't read Japanese.
Just checked my copy of the game, and the tomato code sheet doesn't list any sort of expiration date.
Downloaded songs save to the SD card. I'm not sure what'd happen if you used the SD card with a different 3DS with a different copy of the game, but I'd wager it wouldn't work and songs are also tied to copies of the game, otherwise people could just share the files for the songs.
Thanks for the reply, to be honest I've never played before & don't really know where to start. There are some vids on YouTube so gonna have a watch & try to get an idea of what it's all about. CheersNot really any English guides to my knowledge (to be honest, you're probably in the best collection of English information about this game, heh), but is there anything you're specifically looking to do? With the Debut version, what you'll probably be doing the most is playing in single player (ひとりで演奏, or the blue option on the main menu), and multiplayer (みんなで合奏, or the red option on the main menu, 遠くの人と合奏, or the top option for online multiplayer, フリー合奏 (top) for randoms, フレンド合奏 (bottom) for friends within that).
I'm good for getting a game up this weekend. Not sure what time would be best, though.
Ouch. I wish you safety and good luck.My country's about to get hit by a major hurricane, but if I have electricity over the weekend I'll remember to check in.
Judging by the time of your edit (7 PM EST), around that time should work for me. We can try for that today, and anyone else who catches this is free to join.
Are there any Majora's Mask songs available on the shop? I need more game songs!
