If the 3DS was region free, games were more readily available, the online shop didn't restrict you to a points system, there would be less reason for hacking. Hacking has great benefits, some of them give gamers a better experience with their work, so they shouldn't be the only ones being blamed for piracy, the pirates themselves who encourage it themselves.
So Renegade Kid, it's understandable to be a bit paranoid over piracy, but remember there are reasons why it exists.
To be honest, I wouldn't be that upset if he was stepping down. The guy can't make games for the rest of his life, and Nintendo shouldn't rely on him for a final result.
I had a great time there with my sister. Sadly I had to leave and miss most of the second part to catch the last train to Stafford, which I missed...
Although I wish it didn't take over an hour to start, I know they needed time for people to get to their seats, but when you start over an hour after the ticket time, it gets frustrating. If it started earlier I would've missed less.
I don't see why the 3DS needs a second analogue stick, most games Nintendo makes are built with good cameras anyway, and that's the only real reason to have a second analogue stick.
Solstice: The Quest for the Staff of Demnos Zelda II Little Samson Startropics ...you know what, I'd love to see more obscure NES titles available to download unlike the ones that ALWAYS become either downloadable or ported like the Megamans, the Marios and the Zeldas
Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga - even though I've already own it and beaten it Gunstar Future Heroes Advance Wars Warioware Twisted (using the 3DS Gyroscope) - I know it's a stretch but someone has to put it there XD
Thinking about it, other than Halo, what first party series does Microsoft have? It's not that I think that Halo is the only one they have, it's the only one I can recall.
Nintendo is a big company, and has been experimenting with 3D for much longer than Tomita has worked on it probably. Heck, Autostereoscopy has been researched for over 20 years, just because one guy says he filed a patent doesn't mean that much unless he used the idea for something that was similar to the 3DS.
You know, this reminds me of another case. A popular Japanese title that was demoed at the Japan Expo leading to the speculation that it would be translated...what game was that? Oh yeah, SOLATOROBO: RED THE HUNTER! And that game got a European release and a planned US release as well! I guess there is still hope!
With all that, it doesn't really explain why us in Europe are getting them and not America. In the 90s we got very few RPGs because of the lack of popularity of them in the US. Today, we have gotten quite a few RPGs, and we are getting three games liscensed by Nintendo in Europe but not America because...
Believe it or not, that's the video I recorded in the attempt. I don't know about what the majoritory of people were playing, though there were many people playing different versions of Pokemon. I played Bangai-O Spirits and the guy sitting next to me was playing a shoot 'em up. I also remember 8 people were removed from the count for not playing on their DS (and one guy tried to use a hand drawn and cut-out DS). I couldn't record the entire event of course because we all had to play for 10 minutes non-stop.
I'm definitely going to get this!!! I love Homestar Runner and Strong Bad so as soon as I saw this, I almost got a heart attack (metaphorically). I DON'T CARE HOW MUCH IT'LL COST!!!!!
