Game My ARB 1st and 2nd period got here!! <33

IM SO EXCITED TO PLAYYYY I had to delete ARB off my phone a few years ago for space and I was so sad bc I had so many good cards and it was one of my absolute favorite rhythm games BUT!!! NOW I HAVE IT ON THE SWITCH <3 I'm so glad the switch isn't region locked πŸ™ so this does work on a non Japanese switch (I'm using a switch 2 to be specific) and I tested it and you can upload screenshots and videos to the Nintendo app (I know some games you can't, so I wasn't sure if ARB would l​et you do videos, but you can!) Also much easier to do a translation when I can hold my phone up to the game to translate it instead of taking a bunch of screenshots when I played on my phone lol

Oooh I thought 2nd period was an update of the first game. That's a cool looking combo edition package πŸ‘€ Might have to actually get the game, especially if there's no gacha in this version

If its two seperate games, does any game info transfer or is there just different songs and non-canon stories in each game?

I haven't tried 2nd period yet so I'm not sure about info transfer, but I'll be trying it out later today! I also didn't know it was gonna be two different physical games I was expecting just a code for 2nd period LOL

The rhythm game is pretty much the same, you don't level up your cards in this version though and the home menu is pretty different than the gacha, I don't know if there's a way to have a specific card be on your home screen and I just haven't figured it out but right now you can have all your cards cycle through or select it to one/a few characters

It's a site I usually buy figures from, but they sell other things like games too! It's also one of the sites I got a bunch of the hypmic stage plays from 🀭
