There is no point arguing with these GW zombies.
It's like they are happily trapped in an era lol. I actually updated my imported Aus NN3DS last night. The unit that came shipped with 9.2 on it ready for GW.
Why?
Lets start with a reality check:
- They mislead, lied, and cajoled folks into thinking that their product would work on NN3DS upon release.
- They never at any point mentioned anything about a 'staggered' release schedule.
- Most folks spent all Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years hitting the Refresh page on this lovely site.
- The GW has been sitting in a box unused for atleast a month.
- I dont want to log on to the internet everytime I want to play a game...
- I see a clear future of demise for this GW product that no one else has probably even thought of becuase they are drinking the GW koolaid.
- This clear future involves Nintendo releasing an update literally the day BEFORE the release of the units in the US/Europe.
- Then, Nintendo will proceed to issue a Cease and Desist letter shutting down ALL Gateway server pages and web services that infringe upon their Intellectual Properties.
- GW will cave because Nintendo's dog is really bigger than GW's.
- Having to remember and keep track of emunand and sysnand is not only boring, but just plain dangerous to my machine, my saves, and sanity after the 80th time of having to 'login' to play.
- I travel.....how am I supposed to enjoy my lovely GW when in...wait for it.....AIRPLANE MODE?
- GW has taught me to hate the word..."soon".
- I am out of $80. I now need to craigslist this thing..*groan*
- If Nintendo releases a major update greater than 9.5, alot of people who didnt update to 9.4 are going to be out of luck. Period.
- If that 'webpage' comes crashing down for whatever reason...you will be out of luck. Period.
- The amount of confusion that comes along with setting up GW to maintain your original Sysnand save files is staggering....Ive got 600+ hours in MH3U(sysnand 6+)...how bout you?
- And NO. I am not talking about the Gateway of 'yesteryear'. I am talking about the "ULTRA" that is GW of today in the present. Wake up. It's a new day.
- On this very site is just about every problem imaginable linked to that half-baked, 'Ultra' product that was released. Poor 2DS owners....but I digress.
+ My Sky3ds plays every single game in my region flawlessly on the LATEST update.
+ My Sky3ds now plays every region thanks to Smealum.
+ My Sky3ds plays every game in my region on the New Nintendo 3ds without logging in to anything.
+ It will continue to work if Nintendo decides to skip over 9.5 and completely overhaul a new update at 10.0 when Majora's Mask release. I simply wont update.
+ Sky3ds is NOT dependant upon a webpage exploit to work.
+ When I updated my NN3DS to 9.4.021, I was able to legitimately patch and update ALL of my games that needed it through the eshop with no problems whatsover.
+ My machine does not have to be 'modded' in any kind of way to enjoy the cart and all my ORIGINAL eshop games along with all of their original Save files. MH3U is saved! (yay)
+ If for some odd reason Sky3ds no longer works...I wont have to 'restore' anything. I still have all of my eshop games untouched because the system didnt need to be 'modded'
+ As Dax and a few others on here who are working with common sense already said, "It just plain WORKS." I concur.
+ If Smealum should decide to bless us with a way to go regionfree on the New 3DS units, than Sky3DS will be complete. As of now, it plays all games perfect within your region.
+ It works flawlessly on the 2DS! lulz
And, last but not least, the Sky3ds team is really trying hard to do the best that they can to listen and communicate with their customers. They just released another Diskwriter and updated Template.
Both of these apps combined are still much simpler to own, use, and operate than that headache you will incur setting up a GW product. And best of all, there is no...."soon" in their vocabulary.
And, that's all im gonna say about that.
