Got this game today from the Teyon giveaway. It would be so much more fun if the camera worked.

Impressive.

@bluecat Wondering too what happens to their saves.

Remember, the USA did get a Famicom colored/styled GBA Micro.

So this is Mario and Donkey Kong, instead of Mario vs. Donkey Kong?

Probably some kind of reason he was fired. However, I would doubt a large company would announce why.

And I'm sure he'll be allowed back in to get his stuff in a few days.

Yeah... normally I'd say something like this is ridiculous, but it makes sense on this.

I wish the people who pirated didn't get lumped into the same group of people who use homebrew games.

@GiftedGimp This is true. The question I was answering was if it was ok for old systems. I do hope that Nintendo doesn't have a banning system for modded consoles unless they were caught pirating.

Also, on that point, don't forget that most cable providers have DVR's available.

@timp29 You make an interesting point about recording shows. However, from a business point of view, the stations aren't really losing money. Same money from advertisers, etc. No different watching it then compared to the time that it aired.

@demonta4 Hacking your system isn't illegal. It's pirating on it that is illegal.

@Sonic260 If I were to guess, the modification is probably software, not a modchip or such.

Edit: Oh, it does appear to be hardware.

@willobee, I don't think he was trying to justify it. Just pointing out something that you may not have noticed or thought of.

@AbeVigoda Thank you for making me spit out my water.

I used to love Beyblade when I was in 3rd grade. I had one of the Game Cube games, and it was pretty fun. A lot cheaper than buying real Beyblades and getting all the parts =P

Between this, Luigi's Mansion, and FE, I got this. I haven't got too much into it yet, but it's pretty fun so far.

@ People wondering what the huge draw to karaoke in Japan is

In Japan, karaoke is big. And also where it originated. After a long day of conforming to strict social standards, karaoke and alcohol are the way Japanese people can just let it all out.

It's a shame of the extremely varying quality of Big John Games games.

@rafaelluik That too. However, if you had a copy of the apk, and assuming it had Google's built-in anti-piracy, the app would still work. Of course you'd need to be logged into that account still.

Do they have any TRON figures? I'm a TRON fan as well. Never got a chance to check out all the figures.

Baaaaad timing.

@rafaelluik It's in the Play Store's contract to save their butts in case something goes wrong. You can redownload Play Store games/movies/music/books on a new phone. Same with iTunes.

@CrissCross87 This is true. But imagine you have one 3DS. If you only use cartridge based games, you've lost one game and a console. Now imagine you have a 3DS with four retail games on it from the eShop. If you're in the USA, that's going to be around $160, plus the cost of the console. That's a bit of dough to lose.

@TwilightV Comment of the Year

Nothing that rare I should say. Got EBA + DSL starter kit for $4. Nintendogs + Cats for $10. Wind Waker for $2.

I've found some pretty good finds, but nothing that amazing!

Wish it was cheaper. I like the MIDI export though... wish the DS-10 Plus had that.

After all the bashing of Urban Champion, I'm strangely wanting to try it...

I wish there were more USA contests...

That is a cool card.

@Bulby Emolga is pretty good.

Volt Switch. Volt Switch. Volt Switch.

Is this including when GMC was the Free App of the Day on Amazon's App Store?

Thanks for the (typo'd) shoutout =)

@damascus They wouldn't already put it there to unlock on a certain date. Then you could just change your 3DS's time.

@BradPJ Amen.

When I saw the wrench, my first thought was Half-Life's crowbar.

How do you unlock the egg on this?

Most of them are talking about emulation, not piracy.

That is kinda funny. And I believe some Android emulators have a search function with a database full of roms, but aren't included in the download. Android doesn't really care whats on their store as long as it's not malicious and it doesn't get complaints.

The question is - did he actually lick it? And how does it taste?

Actually, will it blend? That is the question.

Well this one makes a lot more sense than the others.

@Mk_II If 7 is the number, that seems pretty reasonable.

Excited, but not about the fee obviously. The highly rated flipnote creators getting the service for free sounds like a good idea - getting them to create content people will pay for.

@Nardar You can't transfer Flipnote Studio to the 3DS.

I think it is still something to be awarded for, but not above physical combat (only term I can think of) medals. While drone piloting would be very mentally painful, you're probably not risking losing limbs or your life. However, drone pilots do get a better look at the detestation they just caused.

I wonder how much the online service will be, and how often the payment reoccurs.

@Romeo Don't give them ideas >_<

If it is a small amount of figurines (say six figurines) I'd say that's fine. If it is a Skylanders amount of figures, no thank you.

Edit: The game itself is 1800 yen, so $19 USD-ish. I have a feeling they'll come out with 15-20 figurines.

Both good DS/3DS downloads. I already have them both (preorder for KI, and CN last time for Starship Defense). Not as much of a Wii player so I'll pass on the Wii one's. Might have got Tennis if it included the GB link unlockables.

This idea does remind me of VMK slightly as well.

On a side note, Disney in Japan released an online game called Magic Castle. It is a tie in for it. http://www.disneygames.jp/castle/

Yes Nintendo. Preventing us from circumventing region lock so we can't play a game that wasn't released here makes perfect sense! /sarcasm

Can't you guys read he was a FORMER Sony employee.

The multiple screen 3d sounds interesting. Considering your eyes have to move to look at both screens, that might make the 3DS's one screen that is 3D a bit less nauseating to look at from another angle.

Ew. Ew ew ew. No microtransactions unless you make the game free.
