Everyone that thinks that it's $99 must be stupid.

I totally agree with specillk regarding NSMB and DK Country Returns. NSMB was especially disappointing. I love 2D platformers, but i didn't even bother finishing it. The levels were cold, bland, uninspired and felt machine made (it felt like they plopped down the elements from a set of tiles ie it never felt organic and the levels barely featured any unique elements). They could have also done more with the hardware and added some more visual flare or a unique art style. You could also see how uninspired they were by making player 3 and 4 no name shroom people instead of using one of the dozens of characters from the Mario universe.The levels are also too damn short. This isn't 1992 the hardware can handle bigger levels.

Granted the core gameplay was solid as always, but they really could have thought of something new to add to the game in the 20 or so years that it took for the to get from SMB3 to this. And I'm not talking about the half assed suits that some intern came up with on his lunch break.

As for DKCR I'm pissed off that they really clipped the difficulty. Beating the original DKC felt like an achievement instead of an inevitability.

thank you good sir, i think flashcards are actually a great idea in the sense that if i truly like the game i usually buy it, honestly to support good art. that goes for any outlet ex. music, paintings, movies etc... i believe if you truly want to give credit for a well made product you should show support by paying for it or even advertise the product. its just that games have been so rushed the last few years its not worth buying a game to find out its horrible, and the return policies and trade in values nowadays dont help either. i just hope the cards not a 1 game type of deal. im sure they can implement sd use somehow cant they? pop a 32gb card in and have a slew of titles. thanks for all the responses and feedback guys. you all have very good valid points.

the whole point is that thre is no menu to select games, it runs like it was a normal cart, hence why no matter how big of a memory stick or w/e you have is, it wont make a difference. need to crack the system and run homebrew to do that, otherwise you just flashing a single game to the cart.

I'm no hardware expert, but I don't think that they will be able to implement MicroSD support because there is no actual exploit and the cart only works by passing itself of as an original. I'm also doubtful on multiple game support since no exploit = no unsigned code and no unsigned code = no game switch menu.

I guess some people didn't like NSMB 0_o.

Thank you i've been hinting at that for a while now but people see a number and think its the price

 

[machomuu]

I don't see how that would at all make someone stupid.

 

[Ericthegreat]

I thought they took 100 preorders for $99?

 

[Guild McCommunist]

1) They did announce Star Fox would NOT have online multiplayer, I remember bawwing about it.
2) This is a Crown3DS discussion, not whether or not Nintendo is Scrooge McDuck. Bring your bawwing elsewhere. Like I do.

 

[synce]

What do they teach you guys in school these days? $100 is a very realistic price for this cart. It won't be cheaper until there's higher supply and some competition

 

[samagon]

Assuming that the cart has built in memory and comes with a special dongle for writing to it I can definitely see it costing more than 100 USD especially since it's the first cart on the market and Crown3DS is a small crew that might not be able to order large batches from the factory causing the unit price to go up even more.

 

[deathking]

If there is a way to also implement ds mode on this cart as well
there might be a way to get a file browser to change the 3ds game on the cart

 

[how_do_i_do_that]

I'd rather see a 3DS mode menu to change 3DS titles than a DS mode to do it.

Wouldn't we all, as that would enable homebrew. But that's not possible atm, while the DS one theoretically is, given the setup.

 

[MADKATZ99]

I remember having to buy a 1GB SD card for my supercard SD and it was about $70. Of course it would have been cheaper on Ebay, but I didn't know that at the time...

Also, I think all the talk of "It won't be hacked in years, the 3DS is air tight", then some of the comments in thread like "Oh yeah but this hack is easy, anyone could do it" are funny

I don't care if it can only store one game, pressuming its easy enough to re-flash a different game onto it when you're sick of it.

OT, but I bought a Toshiba laptop for almost $2000 in 1993. It had a 60mb hard drive and a 33mhz processor. I remember soon after the 100mb hard drives and 66mhz processors came out and I was so pissed.

Well why cant they use micro sds?

We could, if somebody programmed a microcontroller to reroute the read/writes from the 3ds to a microsd card. Granted, that would take some time but is theoretically possible. This card doesn't do that though, it effectively works as a rewritable 3ds cartridge, which is a lot easier.

yes i suppose so but still it would be more EFFECTIVE if they added a micro sd slot and micro controller

 

[Kayot]

I think this just proves that for every White Knight Anti-Pirate, there's a willing and able group to fill the gap. Kinda warms my heart really. Now if this card can price below the cost of a legitimate game, then the 3DS is in trouble.

What I'd like is a way to change the game on the cart with a game in the SD slot on the 3DS. That would be ironic.
