Yeah, tomatoes "rots" by the end of the 5th month. No matter what day you redeem/buy tomatoes, be the 1st or 28th/29th/30th/31st, it count as the first month.

Oh my god this sucks 
I still had 68 tomatoes from my 100 tomato code but because I wasn't allowed an internet connection for my 3DS in my dorm, I wasn't able to buy songs in time.
Finally fixed internet on my 3DS by buying my own router, and started the game. I was totally surprised to see that I still had 68 tomatoes! Yay! I tried going to the shop but apparently I needed a software update first. So I did that, opened the game again, and....
Tomatoes are gone
This system is so unfair >_< Why make them rot anyway?!

im sure everyone here is good on tomatoes, but play-asia has this game for 17.99US. according to calculations thats 200 tomatoes for 36$ plus tax and shipping. i put in an order for a copy of DQ Theathrhythm, so i already have shipping and stuff handled. anyone else buy multiple copies of the game just for the 100 tomatoes?
Ahh that would explain why they're doing it. 6 months is kinda fast though :/. At least make it a year!
They should really lower the prices of tomatos. The retail version of the game costs about $11 new on Amazon Japan with 100 tomatos included, while buying 75 tomatos in-game still costs ~$23. I can understand why people wouldn't bother with in-game transactions and just order new copies. Actually, I think I'm gonna do just that

Somehow the current tomato prices are higher than when I last updated the OP. You'd think that with the value of the game declining (and hence the value of those 100 tomatoes included), they microtransaction price would also decrease. Maybe it's actually dictated by... yen value? Or something?
Anyways, yeah, buying multiple copies for cheap tomatoes is definitely something people do, though I haven't done it because there weren't all that many songs above the packed-in 100 I was itching to get all that much, and I'm fine with paying for tomatoes as I need them.

yeah, I absolutely did that... like 3 times? but I bought them from amazon.jp. was well worth it though
btw, anyone here still active? I'd like to give the multiplayer a go once in a while

Yeah, I'm down for getting a game started. Most evenings (EST) are fine for me.

I'll be at work crying about not being able to play Rhythm Heaven for 7 hours when Rhythm Heaven unlocks, lol.
6 PM to 12 AM EST (aka about 6 to 12 hours from now, for time conversion purposes) are best for me on weekdays, and I should be free most reasonable hours on weekends.

Alright, I'm good to play for a while, lemme know if anyone's game.
The person who originally signed up for it is banned, so now I'm making it, lol. It'll go up a few hours before the game unlocks.

Band Bros P Debut - a downloadable version of the game for 200 yen. From what I understand by skimming, it comes with 9 songs but no edit mode and no extra tomatoes. Unlike the free app that lets you play multiplayer only, this'll let you do everything the full version does (purchase songs and play offline, character customizaiton/progression, etc) except editing.
To be honest if they released this version alongside the full base game, I might have just gotten this instead (and I just picked up the physical version a couple of weeks ago). Don't really use the edit modes myself, though the extra tomatoes were nice...

Oh boy, that sounds excellent. I'm surprised it's not free-to-start, but I'm happy to pay 200 yen anyway. I've been meaning to pick up the game for ages now, especially given its cheap price at most retailers, but I've been too lazy to do so and couldn't be bothered to deal with tomatoes.
Will pick this up as soon as I can, could someone elaborate how buying songs works on both versions? I'm a bit confused about Debut now that Tomatoes don't exist anymore. And I read somewhere that the free songs (Splattack from Splatoon and something from Animal Crossing) are only for the original version of the game.

The online song listing has also been merged with the Suppon site. Haven't really messed around with it too much to see what's new, but at the very least you can now listen to the radio shows online.
Also, the Splatoon theme is available as a free download from the Radio Shop. Seems there's a bunch of other stuff that's been added since I've last checked like Pikmin outfits, a free Captain Toad track, and GUMI music videos.
Every time I think the game is dead, a big update gets pushed out, lol. Pretty surprised that, despite being relatively unpopular, the game is still getting this level of support over a year and a half later.
anyways let's play sometime. for real. i mean it, dammit!

Crumbs, I forgot this has online multiplayer. I remember buying the EU DS game for the intention of jamming with a few DS/3DS-owning friends, but it never happened
I still don't understand why it is so unpopular... it's way better in pretty much any regard... except for the tomato thing ofc.
y, let's play... after I got to finish my last exam (next week Wednesday)

Interesting time to bump this,
here's a video of the Splatoon theme in the game.
Also, that 200 yen version is cool but you can get the cartridge for around 500yen these days.

The debut version is the same version that was offer to full user for free to give out to "friends" via download code...but with some different introductory song track.
200 yen isn't bad but like someone said you can buy the full cart version cheap and it include 100 tomatoes.

for real? oO
I got another 100 tomatoes code sitting around... but I'm kinda hesitant to use it yet
touhou was like the last major thing missing as far as I'm concerned
well that and a some other rhythm heaven stuff...
oh and dkc2! and... well if I think about it, there's a lot more missing :/
The Bankslammer
Member
for real
as an aside i really enjoy seeing people rush to create a popular song and have a bunch of versions of it go up at once
Also there's actually already a DKC2 medley available, though it only comes with the Dixie Kong outfit, which costs 5 tomatoes.
So, is tomorrow a good time to play for everyone?
if by tomorow you mean "today", than yes, today, or rather tonight is fine by me (11pm utc+9) here
or tomorow morning, which would translate to ~10 am utc+9)
also: ha! for bad apple being the most requested song
http://9129suppon.com/ranking/request/
are you actually allowed to submit it yet?
edit: well, it's "tomorrow" and I'm here
edit2: I guess that means tomorow morning than... I hope I can make it -_-

bad apple has been most requested since launch, lol. it's not even the right song iirc.
and yeah, i'm game now, dunno if you're good. sorry, i work weekdays, so i won't be able to play during evening for you.

Two more Nintendo music videos have just gone up, Ashley's Theme from WarioWare and the Squid Sisters song from Splatoon. For some reason the former is 5 tomatoes???
Uhhh... what do you have in mind? It seems like weekends might just work best, if you (and other people!) are available then.

Just want to make sure before I do it, but this means I can purchase a second copy of the game and redeem the 100 tomato code on my original game?
The Bankslammer
Member
You can. Other Gaf members have done so. So... unless they're lying for some reason you should be good, lol.
Yep. I did it three times already. Still have one more copy left.

Nice! Thanks for the heads up. I never would've thought to do this. Now I might actually grab that Mario outfit specifically for the medly without feeling bad about spending 5 tomatoes.

I downloaded a few songs that mentioned including Vocal parts but when I went to play them I noticed that there were none. You couldn't play nor hear any vocals. Do these require a seperate download? Or do I have to do something to unlock them? Any info is appreciated.

oh cool more reason to not use random select in multiplayer
Does it say how long they'll be available for? I'm away from my 3DS for around a week.
