It just doesnt make sense to me that they didnt drop the New 3DS support yet. Arent consoles already being shipped out? Thus not having a higher FW than 9.2... who knows.
Are you saying that if GW holds the exploit until after the 13th they can keep Nintendo up and they WONT update any newer batches?
I mean im 100% to blame, cause i lagged on grabbing a MH4U New 3DS, and now i have to rely on Gateway to play it on a New 3DS.
tbh the whole wait can only be 1 of three things
1) they simply don't have it properly working yet
2) they intend to wait until the US/EU release so the initial FW runs on all regions
3) they are just trolling everyone for fun
if it really is #2, it would be a bit stupid, all they are doing is making themselves look incompetent....there is no real reason to delay, the launch consoles wont suddenly change FW version if they release.....if they work or not will already be set in stone, and doing that simply so the first update works on all regions is a bit stupid, there is no reason why they couldn't of just got JPN/EU out, get some feedback and find out if there is any bugs, then make a final version once the full US/EU launch has happened and fix any bugs that have been found in the meantime....although now that its so close to US/EU launch they probably will just wait now....but having a working FW for EU/JPN consoles would reassure US owners to not update as soon as they get their console, at this point i know a lot of people are starting to doubt them again, personally im sure they will pull through in the end, but people waiting on the sideline until launch in EU/US will surely be feeling the pull of sky3DS/QQ3DS.....and if they do, they would probably just update and forget about gateway
my personal opinion is that it was a combination of #1 & #2, they couldnt get it working properly, so now they will just wait till US launch so it looks like that was the reasoning rather than admitting they screwed up on their estimations
