Hacking [PPOTW] Will you buy a Gateway 3DS flashcard?

[chris888222]

I have not much time for games recently... Plus I'll gladly support great devs who come out with great titles.

Besides, Gateway is still new. It's definitely full of flaws for a first release cart.
I won't get gateway. Probably in the near future I might get myself a proper 3DS flashcart with homebrew possibilities but nah to this one.

In all honesty, one of the major short term things that scares me about the Gateway is the fact that a major new pokemon game comes out 2 and a half months after this card.... The pokeflood..... And the possibility that the Gatway may not work on the required firmware to run them by that time lol, may mean a LOT of angry and annoying..... people.

But yeah, hoping soft modding will kill off the flash cart market. I won't buy one at launch, and I will never buy a Gateway in all of the history of its future existence.

with awesome games coming like rune factory 4, pokemon xy, mario games, etc. not to mention the current games that i'm backlogging already... *sigh* hahaha. then again, i'm still considering when this cart is able to bypass region-locking.

Good luck on that part. We have no idea what exploit they're using, and it may not even be possible with the exploit they're using. Also, if theyre stuck on 4.5, im weary that theyll ever get it running on any future versions.

this will not happen until they find a way to block/skip game updates (as games from other regions will have updates for the other region's firmware)

Just for now, my answer remains NO. I mean, you would have to get a lot of SD cards.

I have 1 SD and its more than enough. Not planning on skipping through every game I find.

 

[--=ZerO=--]

Yes. When my Firmware is supported...

 

[beundertaker]

No, that is incorrect, don't make general assumptions. HackYourConsole (whom I ordered from immediately) have not charged my credit card and they have stated that they will not until it is in stock and shipped.

whoop de freakin do. the majority of the pre-sellers are charging before shipping. if i knew that site was doing that, then i would have purchased from there

 

[Parasite X]

I never said that I was going to sell it , it's just that at the minute there are no games that make me want to play it, but I've just ordered AC : NL so I might start using it again.


I was saying that in a few months/years when there is a larger library of games that I may purchase a 3DS flashcart

My bad I thought you never used it =)

 

[smile72]

It's not that I won't buy one in the future...I just won't buy this one. I want one that at least bypasses region locking.

You're probably right, but no knowing this 100% until the cart releases

Who knows? The blue cart may have some nice surprises in store

 

[Lordmau5]

I ordered one yesterday... Will do a review when I get it

Posting it on GBATemp? - Ofcourse!

Thank you for that.

Hear that Devin? You got some competition

 

[Aman27deep]

Yes. When my Firmware is supported...

Same here. $80 for 250+ games seems OK to me.

 

[Lordmau5]

My Firmware is supported.. I got 4.3.0 still haha

 

[ge2kas]

Would love to buy it, but my 3ds on 5.x fw...

 

[Devin]

Voted yes, because I've only bought a few games since the 3DS' launch and I've yet to experience a good deal of the "must have" titles.

Spoiler

Cave Story
Fire Emblem: Awakening
Super Mario 3D Land
Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon
Shin Megami Tensei IV
Donkey Kong Returns 3D
Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask
Starfox 64 3D
Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D
Theatrhythm Final Fantasy
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked
New Super Mario Bros 2
Rhythm Thief & the Emperor's Treasure
Shin Megami Tensei: Soul Hackers
Tales of the Abyss
Paper Mario: Sticker Star
Rayman Origins
Project X Zone
Heroes of Ruin
Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why'd You Steal Our Garbage?!
Sonic Generations

Which I'd gladly pay $80 for. Of course many people have already played these, but I haven't. So it'd warrant the purchase.

When the actual cart is in the wild, people have it in their hands, and it actually does what it says it does, then sure.
