Another World said:TM2-Megatron said:Yeah, DS games are good; and while they'll (as in original cartridges) work on the 3DS, none of these flashcarts will. So they'll be dead, effectively.
what in the hell are you talking about? in 10yrs when you are in your teens you will look back on that statement and see how stupid it was to type publically. i have my original atari 2600, it is fun to this very day to hook it up and play with it. it is from 1983. why would my flash kit become "dead," ever? my GBA kits are alive and well and used in my gb micro, gba sp, and gb advance.
what alien bug crawled into your brain to convince you that the nintendo ds is the end all to be all video game system, and when they upgrade to a new platform the old systems become 100% useless?
as long as someone has a refurbished system to purchase i'll be rocking homebrew emulation on my r4 and a ds.
dead to the 3ds maybe, but dead in general, never! there is still atari homebrew, nes homebrew, snes homebrew, sega homebrew, virtual boy homebrew, atari 2600 homebrew, dos homebrew, etc, which are released each month. systems never die and neither does the equipment which allows people to play homebrew on them.

I don't consider keeping something around to be the same as extending its actual lifespan in the market. FYI, I'm already past my teens, and I still have old NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, Game Boy Pocket, Game Boy Color, 3 GBAs (original, NES-styled GBASP, and 20th Anniversary Micro), and 3 DS Lites. I have no intention of throwing any of it away, and have every intention of continuing to use all my flashcart devices (M3 Perfect Lite, CycloDS, the DSTWO I pre-ordered from ShopTemp, and an M3 GBA Expansion pack) with my DS Lites. That won't change the fact that at some point after the 3DS launches, many of these products will simply die out in the market and no longer be sold; or become much harder to come by (like the M3 Perfect is now, or the old EZFA, etc.). I speak merely of their continued presence in the market.
