this game had bad reviews, i don't think many people will play it

The game is like Sonic Lost World's 3DS version made even worse, i.e, the gameplay's entirely surrounded around motion control which is a nightmare for portable gaming.

Regardless of how cheap it may be I'm not one to go for it, even if Amazon UK had a restock too. The prices have dropped from £60 to £34 so that didn't last long like predicted.

Doubt its a newly made set.

It would make sense if it was. Amazon recalled their copies after Nintendo asked them to.

It could be that that Nintendo gave the go-ahead to sell them again after 9.3/9.4 patches, or it could be patched reprints.

Why should they do what Nintendo says? They'd make more money and it would help their customers if they sold those copies anyway.

To stay on good terms to get future licensing deals or continue current ones?

Exactly. Even certain "unofficial accessories" such as Action Replays are also technically banned:
Mod chips, silver disks, video game emulators, Sega boot disks, game enhancers...and unauthorized accessories are also prohibited.

lol Sega boot disks.

Nintendo doesn't patch the game, they patch the vulnerability in the next firmware release...... They could manufacture new copies requiring a higher firmware above that to which NinjHax supports.

This belongs over in Homebrew Dev and Emulators now. Requesting a mod move it across there.

Stop shitting up our piracy forum with your posts about homebrew!*

That's the joke; I'm just pointing out that Jao Chu's signature is out of date. Soon it will be even more out of date.
His sig maker is on vacation.

* For the slow folks; this is sarcasm.

There's nothing wrong with motion controls on a portable game, unless you're playing in a car or bus and they can't be disabled. And even then, some types of motion controls are still alright for those occasions. Sonic Lost World's special stages were annoying at first but after a while you got the hang of them and they became fun. Cubic Ninja sucked because its gameplay was boring and slow.

    cyberpunk at 4k without DLSS/fidelityfx *might* exceed 12gb

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that game barely runs at native 4k
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it was some newer games and probably poorly optimized PS4 or PS5 ports
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    they definitely will age better but i feel dlss might outweigh that since it looks about as good as native resolution and much less demanding

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I played Cyberpunk on my old 2080 Ti it sucked lol
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    AMD could introduce something comparable to DLSS but nvidia's got a lot more experience with that
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    least amd 7xxx has tensor cores which the previous generations didn't so there is the potential for AI upscaling
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They have FSR or whatever it's called and yeah it's still not great
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so AMD seem to finally be starting to take AI seriously
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh yeah those new 8000 CPUs have AI cores built in that's interesting
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Maybe they plan on offloading to the CPU?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Would be kinda cool to have the CPU and GPU working in random more
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus
