Considering they sold 80K-100K sales for 2 (3?) weeks last December, maybe that's where the "7-8K" weekly allotments went. And maybe they've already stopped production. They can't just manufacture in small quantities. It's either they mass produce or they won't bother anymore since NX (home console) is coming.

@Wouwter
With only 4 million (they say) New 3DS shipped, Nintendo won't make a profit if they're gonna give it away for free for those Wii U owners who also happens to have an N3DS.

Someone also said there's a glitch on crossbuy for Wii Us with multiple NNIDs that are connected to multiple 3DSes making it all free to all with just one purchase. I dunno if it has been fixed or won't/can't be fixed.

As GridAttack said on the Butouden 2 review:
"As Discostew explained on the other article regarding SNES emulation on the N3DS, this game is not emulated, it's a port.
People were trying to see if they could find the game ROM file, so it would be possible to inject other games, but they came empty-handed, whereas if it was emulated, we would have had custom SNES titles back when this was released."

As I understand it, it was ported to run natively in the 3DS and NOT emulated.

"but the fact the game was offered as a digital 3DS download, teasing us that the 3DS is fully capable of emulating SNES games many months before Nintendo officially announced other Virtual Console titles on the system (which are exclusive to the New 3DS)."

Is it needed in the review?

@ReigningSemtex
It's been discussed gazillion times in this very article's comment section that EMULATION requires more hardware resources/power to emulate SNES hardware to play SNES games than PORTING a N64 or any other last gen games that runs natively in the 3DS hardware.

@Pixelrobin
I assume they can't run the emulator on the old 3DS in the quality they wanted to with save state, suspend mode, miiverse, streetpass, and other functionalities running on the background. Unless Nintendo have low standards on quality of emulated games like @Tasuki, then I don't see why they won't sell it to more than 40 (or 50) million old 3DS owners.

Re: You Can Now Import Japanese Games and Systems from Amazon Japan

@Socar
I never said it's better than Play Asia. That said, Amazon has a wider reach, cheaper as far as I know (again some friends of mine buys from both and it's cheaper on Amazon through Tenso and no price gouging), and you can cancel preorders/orders with ease. I guess it has better customer service too?
