You don't know what rate they're going at. Nor do you know how far N3DS support is from completion. Your crystal ball is worthless, as usual.

And you, holy shit. It's called a guess, not a guarantee. We aren't saying its 100% guaranteed it'll happen that way and any other way is impossible. Have you ever developed anything in your life? do you have any idea how many variables there are in development? or how much shit they'd get with their customers in if they released N3DS Support and the NA N3DS was >/=9.2 but their code/exploit mysteriously bricks NA or KOR N3DSes?

Based on the Timing of Nintendo's release in japan, when they announced the N3DS in the USA, when the webkit exploit was first released, and Smealum's new thing on 9.4 which still works using a variant of the webkit exploit, It is safer for Gateway to WAIT for the USA release and get 9.4 support working which as smealum has shown could be surprisingly easier than having to develop a entirely new exploit method as many (including possibly yourself) have assumed would have to be done. and since Gateway has very logical Developers who understand this stuff as shown by how long they waited to release the ULTRA firmware with 9.2 support, they more than likely WILL wait until after the N3DS has hit all regions so they can release something that works out the gate(way) rather than a buggy mess.

Orrr they have an exploit currently working up to 9.4 but they just want to be safe n make sure that the us n3ds doesn't come with the unreleased 9.5. Lol because that makes all kinds of sense n such...

Whoah - easy, killer. Companies who know their audience should be able to communicate with them effectively in ways that increase their business: that's not a snugging of foil hats or claiming to know their motivations, but rather a reiteration of basic, professional communication practices.

If I knew my client base was, well, this, I'd be a little more proactive and thoughtful with my communication. If Gateway doesn't publish a solution by the time I get my N3DS on 2/13 and I really need to play my 3ds ROMS immediately, I'll order a flashcart that will support it.

As soon as Gateway does release support, however, I plan on buying one - before, on, or after N3DS release date. Doesn't matter to me.

 

[bendrr]

oh god, the WAIT...

We've waited this long........ might as well wait a LITTLE longer.........(?)

Gateway is likely to follow Square Enix move on Final Fantasy XIII-Versus fiasco. And Square Enix does know their audience. .

Seriously, i regretted importing a Aus N3ds because of that misleading video by gateway. Thinking that they will release the support together with normal 3ds and so i made a foolish decision. And i am sure that they are waiting for US N3ds release before releasing the N3ds support for whatever reason. I do hope that i am wrong.

I also regret spending so much money importing a Aus n3ds. Especially because it seems the us n3ds will have <=9.2 FW anyway. I hope i can sell my aus n3ds on ebay

If it's a regular, it'll sell VERY well. If it isn't........yeah.

 

[codychaosx]

Yeah I have an old crappy small 3ds I'll play Zelda mm on while I wait for n3ds support but it still sucks that I don't know if ill be able to play mm on my n3ds as soon as a rip is available

 

[kamesenin888]

I'll keep my aus n3ds, because it's awesome to have the 3 regions in the end

I believe the people in our country seriously have next to zero interest in an Aussie set. Because no shops here sell PAL games. At least with a Jap set, there's still that niche selection of Jap games that the local shops import in. Also, before i sold off my Jap N3DS few weeks back, i was quite surprised that alot of gamers here didn't know what is Gateway or can't be bothered to use it. I guess that's good for Nintendo.

Isn't it likely that there is no N3DS support at the moment because they can't get the nand functions working? I mean, they showed off gateway rom loading, but not emunand or nand backup...

Yes that's very possible. Also i don't think there are hard mods for N3DS yet, so maybe GW bricked all of their own N3DSs and don't know what to do now

Wait till the doods at Akiba manage to stick a capture card on a N3DS LL, then maybe a hardmod for the N3DS is likely.

Could be... maybe they're just boarding up all the windows, cutting off all their communication channels, and searching desperately for a way to minimize the damage the gbatemp hype train will make once we discover there is no N3DS support.

Here we go again.

I think worst comes to worst, GW can just release whatever they had in the video. Even if it's missing a lot of features like emunand, it's still better than nothing

 

[shinyquagsire23]

I think it's worth mentioning that the beta SonyUSA got didn't have emuNAND at all, and this was on an N3DS LL. Chances are they still had a bit of work to do with the N3DS emuNAND. After all, the N3DS has a 4GB NAND this time around, and the NAND format itself changed a bit too. Probably had a bit more work to do with N3DS, while 3DS was pretty straightforward once they had ARM9 access.

I'm hoping they'll do that too... I have a couple of imports I want to play in classic mode, plus as soon as I see a working release I'll order the cart. Then it'll just be another wait for emunand though...
