mine is running good as nsp on 6.0.0 sx 2.2
offline!!

 

I'm having the same problem but with mariokart8.. it's trying to access the internet to check if I own it?

 

turn airplane mode on and thats it,you are free to play your games offline.

 

Yeah that doesn't help it won't stsrt up until you've connected it online

 

I am super banned and I reached level 33 today. So no you do not need an internet connection to play this game. The screen pops up saying no connection and I just press A and play on.

 

I see!!

 

I installed the NSP version of this game last night and although it initially asked for a connection to the internet, I hit cancel and it returned me to the start screen where I then began an offline game absolutely fine. I upgraded to the latest firmware (6.1) before I installed it.

 

I'm also getting this error everytime I start the game, I reckon this is because you have to download additional spoken languages and it checks every time you start the game... and if you're banned it obviously can't and throws the error, but I just ignore it and the game starts fine.

 

Huh, well, i am on 6.0.1 and used the xci version (converted from nsp myself) - and have no problems at all, despite the error because it can't install other languages.

 

you got it wrong - I converted the nsp to xci, not xci to nsp so basically I am using the nsp version as well
