These are kiosk rather than dev.... although its an interesting ideal that nintendo would make a demo disc for kiosk and display the game on multiple kiosk consoles at E3..... lets hope a disc leaks and someone with kiosk can eventually gain kernel and dump it.


??? E3 consoles are kiosk models, the same as that guy's

I'm not certain, but wouldn't it make sense to use kiosk consoles? CAT-I would be able to run demos, and wouldn't make sense to take DEV units in as they are more costly and from what I have seen they are visually different (in colour and shape) to retail consoles... the green cat-dev and the bulky black and white kits would confuse consumers into thinking its a new colour console or some rubbish... so people can see what looks like retail consoles running something new.

Taking retail consoles in to a showroom floor is just asking for trouble as all FW to date is exploitable (nintendo will undoubtedly know this)... and the "hacker" said it wasn't a retail console.... that's the only part of this tall-tale I believe.

I dunno, we might actually see results, even if this tweet thing was fake.
I don't want to give away too much just because I don't know how much these people want out, but there is a plan in motion to actually dump the game today. I've heard this all through people on an IRC channel, and the people apparently helping to write tools to dump this thing are well known and respected in the community, so who knows.

To be serious, I'm not kinda sure if I should think that this a good a bad thing. Of course I would love to play the Demo rigth now, but this could heavily damage the future of the game :/

This is the game that will drive sales for the NX, but no, people just want to be selfish and have it leaked so they can play it early (and for free)

Yea and piracy is bad coz it makes gaemz devs poor :'(

No, seriously, not only it is a DEMO, but it's on the WII U. And I'm pretty sure the NX version will be vastly improved to use the NX's features, in terms of graphics, and probably gameplay, so people who want to play the game will buy the NX game.
And as of now, Wii U hacking is nowhere as noob friendly as 3DS hacking, for example. So it won't hurt sales *at all*. The only thing it might do is maybe spoil some elements from the final game.

No, seriously, not only it is a DEMO, but it's on the WII U. And I'm pretty sure the NX version will be vastly improved to use the NX's capacities, in terms of graphics, and probably gameplay, so people who want to play the game will buy the NX game.

It's not uncommon for demo versions of a game to have the entire contents of the game, just locked down. Considering it isn't a public demo, and there are so many restrictions to accessing it, it could very well have all of the contents.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
