Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Takes One Step Forward, One Back With Retail Downloads

@Philip_J_Reed I have to agree on that there are some games I would prefer to have on my system, and some not. Crosswords Plus is a good example I must say.

The price for me is a bit of a turn-off. Since here, they're usually the same (or even more!) for a download, I don't like that. If I have to get a new 3DS because mine actually breaks, there's not really anything I can do.

Re: 3DS System Update Locks Out a Lot of Flashcards, Permanently

@Tyeforce The emulator is downloaded each time you buy a Virtual Console game. But, they don't have to specially tailor it for each game. All Gameboy Color games on the eShop are using the same emulator, just with their ROM.

The manuals are made for them and I'm sure that costs money. As for the comment about it being on the server, since Nintendo owns those servers, I don't think that costs them anything more than not having them on there.

No, I'm not saying the emulation of games in an unintended manner is right, just clearing up what you said here.

Re: 3DS XL Cradle and AC Adaptor Available 24th August

@SomeBitTripFan The power grip for the 3DS is available at Best Buy. (At least, when I was there a week or two ago). The only "data" you would lose would be the system clock/calender (you'll need to reset those), what brightness you had your screen on, and if you had wireless toggled on or off.

Re: Analyst Calls for Mario on Non-Nintendo Platforms

I think it would be logical to make some applications for smartphones, but I doubt a conventional Mario game would be a good fit.

It just seems that Nintendo wants quality, which demands a higher price, and they most likely wouldn't be open to making a small, $0.99 app for phones. I do think they should make an Android and Apple application of Duck Hunt... maybe with an option to shoot that annoying dog too...
