@XiaoShao I actually just bought the cart and have been playing it a bit. It's kind of weird (and the save function is not super obvious or well explained) and it takes a bit of time to get into, but its not bad. Maybe not something to sink hours and hours into but worth checking out. Feels like a GB zelda clone.
@Joeynator3000 I thought I read somewhere that the software that powers online play and eshop for WiiU and 3DS was actually licensed from a third party and that the license is basically expiring. Not sure how true this is
This is great news but has anyone tried copying an N64 game to an SD card? I copied Paper Mario over and it was brutally and painfully slow. I am hoping that a firmware update can indeed speed up SD read/write times. The only way it couldn't is if to cheap out on costs the internal SD slot is a USB 1.1 reader, and even then it should be able to achieve some half decent speeds. Still, games like Ys I&II could be a pain to run. My guess is that it is so slow because of some type of encryption or maybe it was just optimized for pics and small music files initially. Come on Nintendo, don't let us down!
