Homebrew: get IRONFALL from 3DS eShop before Nintendo takes it down, it's free

What about using Ironfall on Rxtools/Gateway emunand? Would it be fine to download through there?

I'm just curious why it would matter. I mean, you already have a solution for everything 3DS related. This is more an alternative for people over 9.2 than anything else.

Not sure if it's relevant, but I just tried this and there already was a system update waiting for me

Were you already on 9.9.0-26U?

That's because he hasn't done anything yet. Nothing has been released, thus there's no reason to pull it, nor any proof that he has done anything. There's no videos, no real pictures, nothing, just a twitter post. If Nintendo pulls it now and say, nothing happens and he releases nothing, they look the fools who fell for an empty threat.

Well, considering smealum has already released haxx before, as well as other exploits, I'd take his word with more than just a grain of salt.

Someone mentioned before how quickly Nintendo removed the last one. I haven't fallowed much for the 3DS hacking scene, so I was unaware of how fast they removed the game from the eShop. But someone also pointed out that since it's the weekend, they might not actually be in the office right now to monitor this activity.
Or maybe Nintendo is just asleep at the wheel.

The last time something happened on this scale was the DSi, but they mentioned the titles at the same time that the haxx software was also released, so a pulldown was imminent. While Cubic Ninja was taken down rather quickly from the Japanese eShop, Ninjhax was very close to a reveal if memory serves.

I honestly think that the different regions are responsible for their own eshops. That would explain why jpn CN was pulled so quick -- it was revealed on a weekday while japanese employees were at work while smealum this time revealed ironfall at the beginning of a weekend, when NOA stiffs were playing golf. He followed Wololo's sage advice.

It will be pulled tomorrow for sure.

I was going to mention that tomorrow was a holiday, but that's Canada and not the US. Yeah, get it while you can.

Civic Holiday. I didn't even know that existed, and yet, I'm Canadian. LOL.

Worth noting that Ironfall has never been available on the Japanese e-shop... this may also have something to do with it getting left up.
It's also worth pointing out that, technically, Ironfall is a 'freemium' title - ie. there's not a great deal of playability without forking out for the actual content (which, at the price point it's on eshop for, virtually makes it a retail title).

It doesn't matter, I believe Smealum said that you can get it if you want

It's optional. I inquired about that just a few posts above on the first page.

If you want homebrew and whatever else it could bring for free, yes. Upgrade. Otherwise there is currently nothing waiting for you over 9.2.
