(Seriously, I feel that Shovel Knight is being pushed too much independent areas. I mean, other than his appearance here, there is also Plague Knight in Creepy Castle. I mean, this would make more sense if Shovel Knight gave results similar to the launch of Super Mario Bros or Pokémon Red/Green/Blue, but I think his impact is overblown here, yet others who like independent releases are getting a little desperate or delusional. I am reminded of the makers of Meat Boy desperately wanting their character to be a playable character in a Super Smash Bros game!)
@rjejr That makes sense. I remember Pokémon X and Pokémon Y using the same way of saving that Animal Crossing: New Leaf because the Gateway 3DS, a piracy flashcard, got problems with the way Animal Crossing: New Leaf saved games.
This is basically on the other side of the C&D line, AM2R being (unfortunately) the opposite case.
Then again, given how Sigeru treated Tecmo when Tecmo developed Hyrule Warriors, I believe that this game got a pass because this game was more akin to the post-Ao-numa, not pre-Ao-numa games. (Recall that Eizi Ao-numa liked A Link to the Past because he could cut grass, something the player did a lot in Wind Waker.)
...so surprised... Mighty Number 9 whomped yet Persona Art Online did not... No; I am not blaming the reviewers. In fact, I actually appreciate their honesty! ...I am just surprised on the end result of things...
I still feel betrayed. Even if the change in direction was for the better, and even if the game is that good, I am not willing to play the game... simply because this is not the Shin Megami Tensei × Fire Emblem game promised. While @Uzuki makes an excellent point on the generic 'portal war simulator' plot, I also do not want 'Persona Art Online'.
(Note: I am neutral in here. I am not rally a fan – nor an opponent – of the RockMan series.)
... ...I feel relieved that I awaited Nintendo Life's review before passing judgement on the game... ...I was surprised at how much difficulty he had... ... ...I think this problem is due to his managing his own company in a VERY long while... probably ever. He seems to have made mistakes that a new independent-developer would make. ... ...I hope that he would make a sequel, given that RockMan II was all around improved over RockMan I. He should emotionally separate himself from The Mighty Number 9 series in a while, though. After all, he needs a mental refresh from all this.
First all, piracy makes a copy. I was actually worried that thon stole the physical device!
Secondly, I have reason to believe that this really did happen. After all, while I am not really familiar with hacking of the Nintendo- Café, I know that a rather low-level exploit exists. I am surprised that the System Menu of the demo units were sufficiently low.
Third... whoa... this game must be FABULOUS if someone actually went to these lengths in actually pirating the game! (I am reminded of the Simon Wai prototype of Sonic the Hedgehog 2, which was physically stolen from a toy show.)
Whoa! This was my 1st system! (I got a green one. The games I got were the following: some game I forgot, The Lion King from Virgin, Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins)
I always wanted to do something along these lines, actually. I do not want to use a working system because of this project, though.
Me, my preference would be a Raspberry Pi 3 (85.0 mm x 56.0 mm x 17mm) inside a (broken) Sega Nomad (108 mm x 190 mm x 51 mm). After all, I prefer that 6-button control when playing Sega Genesis games.
...seriously, I expected something of this calibre to happen to (regular) Flipnote Studio, but THE WHOLE SHOP??? ...I would better buy all the DSi games I want to buy really soon.
People who worked with 3DS homebrew had troubles with the capabilities with the Old 3DS. In fact, if the emulator is to run at a decent speed in the Old 3DS, a far less accurate emulator is necessary. I can see why the releases are exclusive to the New 3DS.
The manuals... 3DS manuals are always more basic than the Café ones.
I remember reading that Mr Iwata was upset that a friend of his bought a Revolution yet only played Virtual Console games. Despite Mr Iwata's death, I can see this feeling continuing through all Virtual Console. After all, since when were Virtual Console games any equal to retail games?
@wariowarewolf Eeyup, though that is not the whole story. They fixated on 3D at the expense of everything else. They served themselves instead of their customers. The Nintendo- DS had 3D graphics, but the console only started selling when Nintendo- tried to expand its audience through the Touch! Generations Series.
The result would be a disaster. Nintendo- would just fixate on that technology instead of going back to the basics on what makes a good game. The obsession with 3D is the reason why the Virtual Boy, Nintendo- 64, GameCube , and 3DS failed. (The Nintendo- Revolution, despite having 3D graphics, made great games that expanded the audience, hence the Nintendo- revolution did not fail in its early years.)

Re: We Almost Got A Pokémon And Fire Emblem Crossover Game
A crossover of Pokémon and Fire Emblem already exists:
Pocket Monsters Saphire
(Yes; there really is only one 'p' in the name of that game.)
The elements and text are wonky, but this game is actually very good from what I have read.
