Lol. My 3DS is on 4.2 for those who think of sour grapes. And I have plenty of money if I want to buy one. The thing is, this is overpriced. No way you cut it.
Good quality games on 3DS are not that many, and don't cost that much higher than this+memory cards. Plus, you get the genuine deal and don't have to worry about firmware and going online...
Overprice? Not really, no. Worth the cost to purchase? Depends how badly you want it. Just because a product is released, it doesn't mean that it has to be sold for a price that everyone can afford. If it isn't worth the money to someone, then they shouldn't complain about the cost, but if it is then good for them, I hope they enjoy their cart. Also, seeing as this flash cart is the only current 3DS solution, they have the right to mark it as much as they want. No point in moaning over it.
As for flashcarts having a place in the world, no they don't. I suppose most aren't bothered because they are used to them from older consoles, but in today's world they have no place, when you can have a softmod and run roms from the SD card.
Bolded, italicized and underlined the important parts. Where you CAN have a softmod, then a flashcart is essentially useless. But there are no softmod solutions for the 3DS, DS, DSi, GBA.. In fact, there are no softmod solutions for many of the legacy consoles with flash-carts on the market. So saying they have no place in the world is incorrect. They are a viable form of rom-loaders for consoles that don't have a softmod alternative, so their existence is very welcome. If you have a working 3DS softmod that you'd like to point out to make your point seem valid, then feel free to link it and show me.
As for FAST6191's question about Neimod's and Yellow8's job, no it is not their job to provide us with anything. But, they say things in public, and I can discuss what they say in public. This is called free speech and healthy criticism.
So, when they say we are filthy pirates, make fun of us publicly and mock us and say they won't release anything to help piracy, yet a short while later a flashcart appears to help piracy, I have a right to criticize them, don't I?
I do not get what you are complaining about here, Gateway 3DS has NOTHING to do with Neimod or Yellow8. If they choose not to release anything to help piracy, then their hands are clean of this entire situation. They chose not to contribute, and they have no obligation to do so. So no, you don't have a right to criticize them at all. If Gateway 3DS is released and helps with piracy, then why should Neimod or Yellow8 even be dragged into it?
You could complain and criticize them if they said that they would release it after a flash cart was released, and then didn't live up to their promises, but that is not what happened here. You could also complain if they said they wouldn't release it and then released their own flash cart, but again that isn't what happened here.
