I don't mind the level cap increase if Nintendo would just balance it back out by increasing the daily coin limit, give more opportunities to earn tickets and reduce the amount of tickets required to level up.

Now it's going to be a slow painful grind to level 8, worse if you are F2P. This is how Nintendo convert FP2 players to Gold pass members. And let's not forget Nintendo quietly reduced the chance of getting high end tickets in the daily shop from 10% to 6%. Really scummy of Nintendo to do that.

@Chocobo_Shepherd Apologies for the late reply. The Citra emulator uses decrypted saves. Powersaves are encrypted, therefore they are incompatible. Powersaves encryption isn't proprietary I think but no one has made a tool to convert them. The best way to move a save from an emulator on PC to a 3DS cartridge, would be to soft mod a 3DS which is really easy than ever before and use a homebrew save manager app like Checkpoint or JKSM.

@Chocobo_Shepherd Don't think anyone made a video on this considering it wasn't very user friendly. You had to compile from source code which most people aren't familiar with.

@Chocobo_Shepherd Closest thing to what you are describing is something called powerslaves which repurposes the Powersaves dongle for 3DS into a cartridge reader. The main reason this never took off was that the dongle is really slow at reading data (it was only intended for backing up saves) and 3DS games are encrypted which would require AES keys from a 3DS. Games back then were smaller in file size and didn't have the level of security that Nintendo uses today.

That's soooo Nintendo.

@BulbasaurusRex God of War is part of the Greatest Hits lines and is retailed for $20. But that being said, what exactly is the criteria for a game to be part of the Nintendo Selects? Pokemon and Fire Emblem sell in the millions. Fire Emblem Awakening is nearly 9 years old and is still $40 on the eShop. The 3DS is discontinued and hardly anyone's buying these games and yet it's still stuck at $40. Instead of giving my money to Nintendo, I'm going to the C2C market and get it way cheaper and it's physical so I actually own it.

@BulbasaurusRex I find it interesting that Nintendo barely drops their prices on their digital games. I've seen God of War discounted as low as $10 with PS Plus, $15 without it. The day gaming becomes "all digital" is when I'm going to be curious of Nintendo's digital pricing. Like when you might (emphasis on might) have to pay full $60-$70 for a decade old game.

@KainXavier Even prices for digital 3DS games rarely ever drop. Pokemon and Fire Emblem games still cost full $40. Even the DLC for Fire Emblem Fates still costs full $20 like it's still 2016.

@mattesdude Those were physical copies and obviously those were going to be limited. We live in the digital age now and Nintendo thinks removing a game from its digital store is OK. Digital releases are not limited by physical space. You can't compare this to those games from 10 years ago.

@Toy_Link Because EA hasn't really done much that would elicit harsh criticism over the past 6 months duh

If EA does a limited timed release...

"You donkey!"

Nintendo does a limited timed release...

"Oh dear, oh dear. Gorgeous."

Too afraid to say the E word or else the mysterious forces of the big N might come for you.

They're programmers, not lawyers so obviously they wouldn't have thought this through properly. Also it might have to do with the backlash from fans.

@Mijzelffan Maybe because your PC is bad. Runs full speed on my 6 year old PC. Also lol at "devs put all their priority into the pokémon games". There was a time when people said the devs hated and didn't want it in Citra and now it almost flawlessly.

@RazumikhinPG Yes for now. I still prefer playing on my 3DS. Citra still isn't 100% perfect but it's almost feature complete. In the future when 3DS hardware start to fail and become scarce is when this will shine.

They're just getting a head start now rather than waiting later. Android support is something fans constantly pester the developers about so they are probably more relieved now that it's out of the way.

@RazumikhinPG Then get one of those mountable controllers. Citra supports them. There are a lot of them out there like iPega. Also there are those dedicated gaming android devices like the GPD XD or MOQI I7S. You don't have to play on phones but it's what most people carry around.

@SlimPieEats You don't even need to dual boot android. It should be able to run natively on a hacked Switch.

@RodSD64 Emulators have always try to do things by the book. Look up Sony vs Bleem. Sony lost but Bleem closed down because of the legal fees. As long as emulators use a clean room implementation by reverse engineering the device without any help from official documentation from the console manufacturers, they are perfectly legal.

@RazumikhinPG Maybe in 20-30 years time when you can't find a 3DS in working condition at a decent price. Better to start now than wait later.
