It wasn't a misunderstanding...They were serious
Me,
is it true that we can only put 10 3ds games per SKY3DS card? Did you mean per micro sd card?
SKY3DS:
Once you copy 10 games into your microSD card in the first time, Sky3DS will "remember" them and you can only play those 10 games no matter if you change the microSD card or not, you do need another Sky3DS card if you want to play more games.


Inquiry@SKY3DS

Oh my god!! :O its a con from the get go! So your telling me it was not a misprint, so if you want to run more than 10 games you need to buy another card! :rofl2: all they have done is found a way to squeeze 10 games on one card, that's all and to think people will actually go out and buy it. It reminds me off the old days when one of those cheap 100 in 1 games cartridges you used to buy in a dodgy Tenerife shop for the Gameboy Colour for like a fiver.

The SKY3DS and the K3DS have the same video. Who clone who ?
K3DS uploaded the video after Sky3ds, i think that answers the question....assuming there is anything to clone too, simply coping the video doesn't mean anything will even be released with the name K3DS, could just be someone trolling or trying to scam people/resellers by stealing the video, the fact sky3ds put their name in the corner of the next video suggest they aren't related though and weren't happy with k3ds using their first video

Has the final retail price been confirmed? I'd probably get one if it cost the same as a GW, but they are asking a lot for people to spend more than that.

I wouldn't care about the 10 game limit if it were economical to buy more cards. They are going to price themselves out of a lot of sales if it is $120 or whatever the last rumor was.

Between this and Gateway, I would choose gateway. Even at $120 it would still cost me more at the moment to get Gateway as I would have to also go and get a 4.5 FW console, in the end I have no need for a device who's sole purpose is piracy. Sure I'll run roms on the Gateway when/if I get one, but another big selling point is the ability to run homebrew, hacked roms, save editing, etc. Piracy is of secondary importance on a device like that for me. I my self will take a pass on this device. If the price drops to something below $40, perhaps. But I just can't justify owning one at the moment.

the only people i would say this is better for is(in my opinion im sure someone will want to disagree)
A)people with a 9.x console who are very picky with their games
B)people with a very strong attachment to their current console
C) people who live somewhere where it would be impossible to buy a 4.x console but for some reason can buy a flashcard off the internet
D) people who want/have a new 3ds or only want a 2ds
E) people who rarely play videogames
F) people who are unable to maintain sysNAND to 4.5 without fucking up, or parents with young children who may fuck everything up
G) people who buy things on a whim and would rather spend triple the amount for the instant convenience rather than having to bother to find an old 3DS (read: 99% of the population in any first world country)
H) people with multiple systems for the entire family, none of them being <4.5
I) people who are using a friend's system, so they have no right to replace them (in this case, if you're only interested in a bunch of games your friend doesn't own, getting this card would actually save you money compared to getting a new system for yourself)
J) people who, brace yourselves, do not browse GBAtemp to inform themselves but just want to pop in something that "just works", so they wouldn't know/want to dabble into the more tricky piracy methods
K) people who aren't willing to risk ever waiting X days to buy a new game off eShop, to wait for GW's emunand update, because they have very little time available to them

Assuming this will not be blocked/will work on several firmwares after 9.0, there is an infinitely bigger market than there is for GW, contrary to what everyone here says that it's an useless/worthless card. Remember people: the majority of people playing videogames are low commitment casuals, it's not hacking enthusiasts. Even more so for a nintendo handheld.

Most of you should know that random people made a fortune selling local parents DS flashcarts marketed as "magical play-20-games solution for your kids' DS for just 100$!", profiting incredible amounts out of it by exploiting their ignorance.
The parents do not know that it's the best alternative. They are presented the only alternative they know, they see it objectively saves them some money, and they just do it on a whim.

If the card works like it promises, it will have a huge market even with the greedy limitation. The only thing that can destroy it is if it gets reverse-engineered and the limit removed. That would be pretty cool for the people. I'm also certain the GW team will try to tear it apart and pick it up as a higher firmware solution, and give it superior support/features. So that all the asshurt from GW drones can finally stop.

About 80 dollars in China.

Preorders already being taken.

Some resellers said they will be shipped soon, at least in China (7 to 15 days).

Really there's no good reason Nintendo couldn't have made the 2DS fold over like the 3DS. The cost of a couple hinges and screws is like $0.10 to manufacture.
It was made to be durable, that's why it has no hinge. Nintendo consoles without hinges are indestructible.
I'm a big, big fan of the 2DS design. It's durable and sturdy, and feels very good in hands thanks to those big, meaty triggers.

nobody has set a price, where are you pulling this $120 figure from? you do realise the more you suggest it the more likely the price will be?! somthing like this with such limitations shouldn't be more then $50.

Everything Nintendo makes is pretty durable. They made the 2DS that way so that not everybody would buy their cheaper option.

120$ is was released by a website which pre-sell sky3ds. However that doesnt mean, that the final price will be 120$, but i guess they want make big profit. So it wont be cheap, anyway.

    @SylverReZ,
    @BigOnYa ok i read that the super slim model (the one i have) isnt compatible with cfw and that "HEN is the next best thing, it is a semi jailbreak applied on top of the OFW system software, it is geared towards console models that aren't CFW compatible, you can run homebrew, play backups but you cannot use customised system files & must reapply your customisations & HEN after every boot."
