It sure seems so. Look what I found

http://www.k73.com/down/3ds/115543.html

It's majoras mask 3D, but it's not in traditional Chinese like they use in Taiwan and hong Kong, it's simplified. Not just from the ad, but also from the screenshots. It says it was released today. A CIA file is available if anyone wants it :) also, there is no mention of the game (yet) on Nintendo's hong Kong site...

Hmm interesting. Anyone want to confirm this is a legit game and not a hack?

not sure, but i think my friend said there was a real simplified chinese version of oot and mm for n64, on some ique like n64 device.i don't see why the game would be announced on the hong kong site though, since it isn't traditional chinese.

although, maybe it is a hack because, i thought there were not any simplified chinese games... even though ique (chinese) 3ds exists, i don't think any actual chinese 3ds games were released for the ique

mm was never relased in China, just advertised on the box. iQue was disbanded by Nintendo about two years ago because of lack of sales and China's repeal on the band of video game consoles. iQue was merged with Nintendo Hong Kong, and now there is a button on the Hong Kong site to translate the page into simplified Chinese. I'm going to download the CIA file and see if it is a legit game

Ah, the iQue. I'm familiar with the device - it's the device that Cosmo uses for his N64 OoT speedruns because it displays the least amount of characters.

wow that's funny he does that, speedrunners go to extremes... :)

Bad news guys, it's a hack by a team called ACG Chinese Group (apparently they have a whole slew of games)

Even though it's a hack, I want to see if it's just a translation, or if it is a hack with any cool features added in.
i'm 99.99% sure it's just a translation :)

It seems like you need a region free firmware to run it on an american 3DS (I've only tested on a 2DS though) all of ACG's other games are just translations though. This one seems like version 1.0 or so

Any cfw recommendations?

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
