@SanderEvers Weren't you listening to the recent Nintendo Direct? The world map and locations are the same. Seasons/Ages have their own separate worlds, Fire Emblem not. It's like saying Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess are basically the same game because they play in Hyrule, lol.

@Meloetta Not really, not even basically. Oracle of Seasons/Ages are two completely different games. Different world, different characters, different enemies, different setting.

Why does this site constantly report on hacking/warez/roms related stuff? People who are interested in this sort of stuff have their own dedicated sites for this. All that those reports do is to potentially convert legit users to pirates. It's like Nintendo helping users to identify piracy devices via its AP page.

Just sayin, I was able to get a MM 3DS XL on launch and the built quality is worse than the Old 3DS XL. The top screen wiggles both horizontally and vertically and makes a loud click noise. Both screens have a yellow tint while my Old 3DS XL has a perfectly white screen. The golden cover plates are very cheap, thin plastic that can break or bend if you are not careful enough. The area in which the Circle Pad is embedded is sharp and not rounded like on the Old 3DS XL. Also if you press the Cirlce Pad too much and move it, it goes a bit down the hole it is embedded in and there you can feel a resistence if you move it. The stylus is crap compared to the previous one. It's smaller and more edgier at the root. Not sure if the standard New 3DS XLs have those issues as well.

I'll probably get a standard New 3DS because oh my gosh, if your eyes are used to the pixel-free resolutions of mobile phones, the pixel mess of the 3DS XL seems pretty weird to look at.

@PewnyPL When emulators start to pop up, I guess the sales of Virtual Console games may decrease.

Apparently this exploit doesn't allow using cheats in games. Gotta catch them all the legit way I guess.

@staff You guys need comment pagination.

I think I will get one of these for Xenoblade Chronicles.

The question is, is it red or black inside?

The best platform for this kind of game is the Vita. These 8-bit games look stunning on the OLED of the Vita.

@Yasume No, Hotel Dusk isn't the name of the franchise. Why do you think that? The second game is named "Last Window: The Secret of Cape West". As you see, no Hotel Dusk there.

Title is misleading. Hotel Dusk already has a continuation of its story in Last Window. Just because it didn't receive a north american localization, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Plus it's the better game out of the two.

As said, this service is available in Germany, too.

This game has already been reviewed and everyone knows that it's great. I would appreciate it if you provide more input on the overall playability on the WIi U. Is the Gamepad the best way to play this game? How are the graphics compared to the GBA? Too pixelated or smooth? Are the colors different compared to the original? How does it play on the big screen?

Personally I can't play this game because it's too pixelated for my taste. Much better played on the GBA or DS.

Seriously, stop posting these dolphin emulator videos without giving the dolphin emulator team credit. It's like stealing news from somewhere else without providing the source.

Well, it's more like bad hackers (the chinese flashcart makers) have released a firmware to play pirated games and good hackers modified this firmware to add region-free and remove the ability to play pirated roms. But the bad hackers basically have included a timebomb in the firmware (to fight off clone makers), that once modified, it will blow up. The good hackers actually identified the timebomb and defused it before they released their region-free hack, but sadly there was another timebomb in there that the good hackers missed, which means if you installed this region-free hack, there is a good chance that your 3DS will brick at some point.

At this point, if you value your 3DS you should avoid the region-free hack and flashcarts at all cost. It's just not worth it to risk your $200+ machine and all its downloaded eShop games for the opportunity to play games region-free. Once bricked, your 3DS is gone for good due to the malicious nature of the brick code.

Mega Man 9 and 10 for the 3DS please.

@antdickens Who else if not Retro?

@MilesVor It seems that Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D was Retro's side project and the new Donkey Kong their main project. I have the strong feeling that retro will do a Donkey Kong Trilogy similar to what they did with Metroid. So this means that more waiting time is required for the next Metroid release.

Anyone noticed Link is left-handed again? It seems he is only right-handed in skyward sword because you play with a wiimote and most people are right-handed. In actuallity Link is left-handed.

Where's my Miles Edgeworth: Investigations 2, Capcom?

If you never player the real F-Zero GX then you couldn't tell that this is actually not AX. However, there are all AX tracks available in the disc, but unlockable.

Years old news.

Okami 2 is, in fact, Okamiden. Just because it's a DS title doesn't mean it's a spin-off. The next Okami game would therefore be Okami 3.

I like the old-school case. I believe the Wii mini can be hardware modded to include WiFi and all the other missing stuff, but of course you need a spare Wii for that.

I would rather play this on the 3DS.

By the way, there is an error in the european pricing. The EU version costs €0.30. Only in the UK it costs £0.30. The UK isn't europe and NoE's headquarters aren't even there.

@sodastir Err..This isn't a DSi game, it's for the 3DS.
Interesting to know would be if these bugs occur with the download version also.
Btw, I believe you can extract your save with some chinese dongle or so. If your save is corrupted you can export your backed up save back in your cart.

Damn it all, I enjoyed Miles Edgeworth Investigation more than any game of the main series. Y u no give us Edgy 2, Capcom?

@ThomasBW84 "I believe it's been common knowledge for many years that the 50Hz TV issue has been minimal for a while, so I doubt that's the reason."

Yes but not for Nintendo. Why are the 3DS VC games 60Hz? Because you don't need a TV to play 3DS. There is no 50Hz/60Hz issue there.
If you think about it, there really is no wonder why Nintendo released their Wii VC titles running at 50Hz. With 50Hz there are no compatibility issues with TVs. With 60Hz there are. Imagine Nintendo had released VC titles in europe at 60Hz and then imagine the complaints Nintendo would have gotten from customers who can't play 60Hz games. Nintendo just made sure that such complaints won't come up in the first place.

"it was more than likely down to Nintendo's VC team saving costs by simply copying the original ROM codes, rather than go to the effort of adjusting to run at 60Hz."

That's BS. There is zero effort in enabling 60Hz on VC titles (at least SNES ones). 50Hz and 60Hz are hardcoded together with the region of each game. It is simply a matter of changing a single value with a hex editor to enable 60Hz. Nintendo didn't do this because they still think a majority of european people use 50Hz TVs.

All they needed to do is to change one value via a hex editor to enable 60Hz. That's common for all SNES games.

Of course you would get a game if it's both fun and priced at €2.

Alright, I got Zelda now but only because the download version was for once cheaper than the retail one.

What a rip-off. Between £19.99 and €29.99 is a €7 difference. Is it possible to get the game from the UK eshop without being a resident of the UK?
Edit: Apparently it is possible, but each region has its own funds. So I need to buy £ eshop cards in order to purchase something from the UK eshop.
