"The smart thing to do about the firmware"? What do you mean? I bought my N3DSXL a few days ago, in France, an official PAL version (not AUS PAL) and it still have the 9.0 firmware, so what is the "smart move"? Especially since the AUS version was WAY more expensive than the French version I got (177€, AUS was at least 250). ^^"

I understand people got impatient, but at the end they just paid more and don't have any advantage on the Firmware since it's still 9.0 now in the official European release time. ^^

Easy to say now. Back then nobody knew what firmware eu n3ds would come with. Also, no, aus n3ds weren't sold at 250€ you are just wrong on that one. They were a lot cheaper.

That's pretty shocking that they said within days..
and they haven't even come back to say why they haven't released anything... poor form for ANY type of company.

Hahaha the best part is the fools who deny those emails ever existed. "Those emails were all faked, GW would never send something like that! Anyone can fake an email!"

I bought Gateway first but after 2 months of Suun O just bought a SKY3DS. Been playing Majora's Mask and local coop MH4 and its awesome. Being able to play those games and others was worth the $100 I paid for SKY.

I still have my Gateway tucked away but I'll never recommend it to anyone until SKY shuts down or is blocked. Asshats can't conduct business properly.

The N3DS (small one) arrived today, want to keep it cause its so cute but I bought it for the girlfriend

 

[Kuin]

they never lied in the emails

Yes exactly! We can get "upset" at their lack of communication, but they didn't lie. The email they said didn't say anything wrong, and this email posted earlier clearly isn't talking about N3DS! The New3DS isn't mentionned anywhere.

they didn't state which 3DS (old 3DS or New 3DS), so accusing them of lying would be false

"company" They are not a company, they are a group of hackers. Thats about it. Huge difference, and people need to start understanding that GW sells you the cart and thats all they have to do. Thats what you paid for, they have no obligations to you.

are you really going to nitpick over a term? Company - is a term that can be applied for GW, they have a goal, they have individuals, and they make money.... simple as that.
calling them a group of hackers is just classifying them individually - as a collective, they are a company, they manufacture, sell and make money....

 

[MrJason005]

have people forgotten how much they hate Sky3DS?

 

[Kuin]

Yes so as I thought they were talking about the support of 9.2/9.0, so again what they said in this email is true, they brought this update WITHIN days!

(PS: And anyway, who give a Gateway as a Xmas present? Seem fucked up to me, like giving a 16go USB key full of DVDrip movies. xD)

i just bought 3ds xl from ebay but i have a feeling it will come with 9.4 or 9.5 fw,in the past many people didn't update their consoles but since nintendo brought the themes out a lot of people now update their consoles just to get some free themes & who would blame them they do look really nice.

 

[oxenh]

Good for you, now go and play your retail games from microplay or zgames (50-60 dls each one). Im gonna play all the games i want with sky3ds.. Thanks for the sponsor.

This is what i mean with gatewait.
A old 3ds plus a gateway.
Also you forget to name the scammers Weplay buddy.

 

[satel]

Couldn't you ask the seller what firmware it comes with or just buy a console with 9.2 or lower guaranteed?

 

[Kugz]

You are shitting me right?

Until the actual release for 9.2 came out, we had no idea there was a difference between the firmwares of the old 3DS and the New 3DS. We didn't know it was a different entry point or exploit.

I have an email from January 17 asking specifically about New 3DS support and they said they would specify a release timeframe a few days later, and nothing. We got a manual update. Yay.

They're a company, they buy and sell a product to online retailers in order to turn a profit from the software they've developed and hardware they've compiled from Chinese parts.

i could have but i like to take risks & when it pays off the feeling is so good.

anyway if it's not compatible i will just sell it local to avoid ebay fees & will probably through few DS games with it or a case & get my money back this way.

They never explicitly said that the update will be out for N3DS and OG3DS in the same moment, they only said that the GW works with the N3DS. The assumption that the support will be out for both consoles in the same time was made by us, customers.
Their way of speaking was ambiguous, this is true, and we can find that regrettable but strictly speaking they never lied on their website. They didn't assume the promises they made on their email, but an email is not really an official announcement after all.

Yeh, Gateway could have been a bit more helpful with their emails but all they've said is that they're working on N3DS support, like Breith said it's not like they officially announced something on their page then never delivered, they simply are taking longer
than usual due to the mii issue thing

Wow! When did the 10yo invade gbatemp?

What??
