Why would they already have updated discs of HW out? Didn't the original version just come out fairly recently?

I could see Super Mario having a new update, since they also changed the case (its red now), and they could then list Pro controller support (without needing a downloaded patch), but that game's been out quite a while and HW hasn't.

Nintendo adds a new update on games already released earlier? This does not make sense to me .. This is the first time I heard this and I find it suspect if this is the case.

Any word on which updates are on Captain Toad and NES Remix? I know they technically don't come out until tomorrow, but maybe someone got it early or something, so I'll just ask now and if no one knows yet, oh well, I have to wait.

The 3ds still has carts coming out that have 4+ month old firmwares so its not surprising. 3rd parties seem to use much older SDK's than Nintendo for whatever reason.

Do they have to buy a new devkit when the new SDKs are released? That might explain why.

Also, I'm curious how you guys are populating this list. I can certainly get a bunch of games that aren't on here (Just Dance 2015 for example, which is fairly new so it might have a 5.x), but since my Wii U is already fully updated, it won't do much good if the only way to tell is by inserting it into a non-updated system.

Ah, OK

Does someone here actually have a Wii U on 1.0 that they don't actually play games with who determines the updates for older titles? LOL

Sorry I can't be of use then. My local library does really cheap game rentals so I would offer to test them, but I keep my Wii U fully updated because of the eShop and online multiplayer, sorry :/

It's being done by dumping the disc and decrypting/looking at the update partition :P

Is this actually possible, or are you being sarcastic?
I know there are scene dumps out there, but I don't know of any way to actually extract the contents yet. I'd love to know of a way if one exists.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
