Thats great! Nice find.

I don't like DS piracy being so open and rampant...

 

[Satangel]

Me too, Ive got a feeling this will not have good impact on the whole DS scene...
A new noob invasion perhaps?

 

[dakeyras]

I doubt it cause people who read this kind of news are generally already aware of the possibilities of ds pirating no? This is kotaku, not the 8 'o clock news.

That has already happened. Just look at the DS sections.

I figure that all the rampant piracy on the DS will just cause Nintendo to release an all-new handheld sooner rather than later.

And the whole cycle will start over again.


I think the R4 appearing in the ad is just a sign of the times and Gamestop's way of showing just how out of control piracy on the DS is.

Everyone knew this was gonna happen, the whole DS piracy thing spread like a virus.

Anyone else notice the Games n Music cart in there? That also can run Homebrew/roms (i think)

You're right! It doesn't run commercial games though.

i thought someone hacked it up to run retail games? triforce i think....

the card below the R4 is ALSO unofficial, missing ESRB info, the white Nintendo DS thing that is above all real games, etc

so with 3 unofficial carts in the case, one could draw the conclusion that it is a picture of a developer's personal case or maybe it is one of those situations where the media guys try to see if they can get away with an inside joke. I used to make training tools for a certain company that makes radios and I altered the display on one to read 4:20 just to see who would catch it. Very juvinile of me, I know, but that is what makes work like that bearable from time to time.

Absolutely shocking.

You misspelled "Gamestop" in the thread title.

 

[Jax]

You misspelled "Gamestop" in the thread title.

I also always get those two confused!

Me neither but it's not going to stop

 

[Seastars]

I suppose the ad also shows that the owner of the case also buys the official cartridges as well as his/hers flash cart.

Or buys some games, then buys the R4 and stops buying retail

Lets just hope not too much ppl saw this... Big-N will freak out over it if...

I wonder how many more people we'll get on the forums here asking if they can play GBA games on the R4 XD Then again, I doubt it if people aren't really willing to pay $80 for it.
