I have a New 3DS in the post. Is it possible to use DS flashcarts on the 3DS?
Yes, if you get one that supports the latest firmware. R4i Gold 3DS should work, or Supercard DSTWO.

Only if the game doesn't require an update. Because you'll have to download it from the eshop and you can't access the eshop unless you're on the latest firmware.If I get a Sky3ds (or a gateway 3ds after its next update) i understand that I can play backups online. BUT, will the online capability be gone after the next firmware update (after 9.2). Basically, if I get a sky3ds, will I be able to play online after nintendo releases a new firmware update, even if I don't update my firmware?
Well if you really want the XL yeah you should update it to 9.2 once you get it.Not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but I've been sort of out of the 3DS scene loop for a bit. Once multirom was released I didn't really need a ton more from gateway.
But I have been wanting to upgrade from my 3DS to an XL. Walmart has the New Super Mario Bros 2 special edition on sale for $150 so I thought it might be a good idea to order one due to the recent gateway announcement of 9.2 support.
Is this a wise decision in anyone's opinion?
And when I get it should I immediately open it up and update it to 9.2 and then just stash it until we hear more?
If I don't want it all I have to do is cancel the in store pickup, but it seemed like a good deal to get a 3DS XL.

I don't consider it really an upgrade since I don't like the XL, hah.
Can't you wait for the New 3DS?
Well there sure will be exclusive games, especially first-party ones... we just don't know how many or when they will show up.I can wait, sure as I already have a regular 3DS. But I don't think I want the new 3DS due to the price it will be compared to the 3DS XL already available.
Will there be games I cannot play at all if I don't have the new one?

It might go like the DSi and be like only a few dumb games or they might go full retard and start releasing new marios and zeldas for it... We have no idea right now.
a few shitty onesWere there games that only the DSi could play, not counting eshop stuff?
a few shitty ones
Yeah, Xenoblade will be exclusive. (I thought everyone knew that already)Wait, actually after a quick google search I found a few stories saying Xenoblade Chronicles will be New 3DS exclusive?
That seems really shitty of Nintendo to do considering it's like a half-step if that. Will there be a completely new 3DS-like handheld only a few years after the NEW 3DS comes out? How will they make it clear your 3DS is too shitty to play certain games to consumers?
I guess I might have to wait if they are going to have exclusives this early on.
Yes, Xenoblade Chronicles will be N3DS exclusive.Wait, actually after a quick google search I found a few stories saying Xenoblade Chronicles will be New 3DS exclusive?

It's all up to Nintendo if they're gonna take the risk of releasing games exclusively for a new console, ignoring the 40 milion old 3DSs all over the world.
Yes, Xenoblade Chronicles will be N3DS exclusive.
Yeah, it kind of sucks that it's an exclusive. But it's just a port anyways.
Yeah, I will only get a New 3DS if there are relevant exclusives AND the price drops or if some kernel exploit is found and I can use gateway and emunand on it.What would be really scummy is if Nintendo then released the 4DS shortly after the N3DS, acting like "It was only a minor revision. Did you expect the DSi to last forever too? Haha..."
Just recently got a sky3ds and loaded a few games onto the card without issue, super smash bros even indicated that version 1.0.4 needed to be downloaded from the eshop. Done this and the game works flawlessly apart from if I try and go online and it reports this card is not supported and an error code. I am aware of the risks with these things but surely it hasnt been blocked already?
It's the same hardware. They haven't revealed how the update will be performed by the user though.Hi guys,
I just read that gateway 3DS is about to work on 9.2.0-20; I've updated my 3DS XL (european) to 9.2.0 through the normal wireless update, can I use the gateway once the update for it is out? Can I buy a Gateway 3DS right now or is it a new hardware revision that enables 9.2.0?
Thanks!
