Gaming Why is Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D so cheap?

[Janthran]

Because Revelations is so much better.

 

[RedCoreZero]

ShovelWare phase,it's when not so good-quality games are cheap,because they suck and don't have much value.

If you took out the cartridge when it was saving, or any other time it says 'Do not remove the game card', wouldn't that delete the save? I did that trick with one of my old DS games, and it worked.

Tried that with a used copy, doesnt corrupt the save

Well, you can corrupt your save this way. The question is if you can corrupt something else in the process, which is my main concern for such extreme measures.

Tried the method of removing the cart while saving, and nothing. Hassled with it for more then an hour, and nothing, no corrupted save, no problems with the game, nothing.
I got used copy with the 3DS, and I just don+'t feel like playing it at all, as there is nothing to unlock, nothing to uncover. There's just no challenge or motivation.

But if your save file is corrupt, doesn'it usually delete it?

I Am living in Brazil. Here this game cost about $50. And other games? It's cost about $75. Because of that I have just 3 games.

 

[setsuya]

That's why you don't buy games here, period.

Do like me and buy from the US. You can get TWO GAMES + SHIPPING for a little bit over the price of ONE GAME here...

If you get something like the nds adapter+ or the r4 save dongle, you can dump your save, clear it out with a hex editor to corrupt it, then re upload it, and the game will start a new save file then.

Try buying from candian e-shop.
The canadian dollar value is almost the same of american dollar, it's a bit more expensive, but not much.
Revelations and mercenaries are $20 each, half of a normal retail game.
It would be R$34,69, a real deal if you ask me.

 

[Redhorse]

this is probably old news by now to some of you but Revelations is $20. USD in the eshop now too. Which pisses me off since I paid $40..USD day1. I could have gotten BOTH for the same as 1 of them if I had waited.... *%+*%&^$#$%#% ! Harummph :<

Oh Man, thanks. I didn't know that.
I'll buy games new games.

I always buy my games at canadian e-shop, they're cheap, and I don't need to change catridges.
Sometimes there are $2 or $5 of tax, depending on the game and state you choose, I recommend choosing Yukon, the last region.

IIRC, the 3DS performs backups for game saves, allowing the game to recover from any such corruption. Also, depending on the write speed of game cards, it may be difficult to eject the card while it's writing, since any 'saving, please do not eject' messages may actually be in the process of preparing or cleaning up rather than actually performing a write to the card at the point the power is cut.

Of course, anyone can erase the card data using the NDS game shell swap and a DS with a flash card, an NDS Save Adaptor or an R4i Save Dongle.

 

[WiiUBricker]

Yeah but, in every single game manual it says you should not remove the game card while saving because it could lead to corruptions. Are they lying?

They mean the save file could be corrupted which is what you want if you want to reset your file.

That's my point, but a fellow above couldn't get it done and had to dump the save, hijack it with a hex-editor and put it back in the card.
