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.

Wonder where Amazon found an unsold batch of Cubic Ninja copies...
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That's the joke; I'm just pointing out that Jao Chu's signature is out of date. Soon it will be even more out of date.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.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
  • I @ I-need-help-with-wup-wiiu:
    i need help with nusspli failed downloads, can someone respond to my thread? pretty please:wub:
