Zombie thread, RAAAGH

[Escape]

My Sky3DS came today.
I hate it for taking up to 5 secs to switch to the next game...

Edit: They should have given it an additional "Switch Backwards" button.

Hah, my one also came in today.
Now I can finally play on my shiny new Japanese New 3DS! unfortunately the only games I'll be able to play are Pokemon, RE: Revelations and Bravely Default...
At least something to keep me going until Gateway updates.

There's tons of action, platformers, shooter games you could play as well..

Most people with their normal 3DSes, 3DS XLs and 2DSes got their update and simply went on their jolly way.
If Gateway's goal with releasing this update is taking care of the majority while their work for the update for the minority, then I have to say, they achieved it.

i sold my JAP N3DS today & ordered black one from amazon france,i hope it will arrive with 9.0-9.2 firmware.

when feb 13th comes, many more ppl will suddenly have a n3ds and they'll all want the GW update. So after feb13th, this thread might grow really fast and it's possible we'll have 1000 pages before GW releases n3ds support

 

[Xenophy]

Haha lets hope they just release their update pretty soon. I think everyone here is eager to see it

new owners will want a flash card that works on their systems now not in the unknown soon/around the corner future so when they search for a compatible card on flash card sites like yeahgeek.com & find out only sky3ds supports their n3ds then i expect the sales for sky3ds to go up not gateway.

ppl will most likely begin with searching for their flashcard like around two weeks ahead of time. So I would expect even this weekend to be srsly important for gateway if they wanna push their sells. With each day they dont bring out n3ds support, they lose customers for nothing.

true,the longer they leave it the better it is for sky3ds sales no doubt about that.

Random question, but anyone know what firmwares the 2DS or 3DS XL's are on Nintendo's refurbished consoles?
I was thinking of getting either a 2DS or a 3DS XL, but I want to compare and see which I should get. Especially now that 2DS support is coming for Gateway.
Thanks y'all.

 

[Kracken]

Exactly. Its why everytime I see someone say that GW is planning on releasing on or after Feb 13 I scratch my head. There is no financial benefit to doing that. Every day that GW doesn't support N3DS is another day people buy sky3ds cards. If GW does wait until after Feb 13 to release it is due to it not being ready and not because they were holding it back.

Really sucks for the N3DS users for sure, but at least they threw a bone to the 2DS users who were having issues. I actually didn't think that console was popular enough to get any support, really.
I'm considering getting a 2DS over a N3DS simply because it's getting support before even the N3DS and it's so much cheaper (despite looking ugly and having no 3D, I can deal).

Who wouldn't want a functioning GW card before Valentines Day, right? Forget the blowjob lets battle it out on Smash Brothers to see who gets to be on top.

Ive got a 2DS here and honestly I strangely didnt have any problems except once a failure message saying that the cartridge was pulled out.
I bought mine like November I guess (2014 ofc) and it had firmware 8.1 if I remember correctly. I surely updated to 9.0 and now its on 9.2.

There is logic in that too. If they wait for Nintendo to release all their devices they would be able to test if Nintendo changed anything from firmware/hardware side, so they can be sure that gw will work on ALL N3DS. That way they would surely avoid a bit shitstorm like their bricking shitstorm (although only 10 or so devices were affected).
So thats actually why they would hold it back. It all comes down to finance vs reputation. They brick some of the n3ds, users will RAGE. They dont, well they lose money on the way there. Its the balance to keep and I think they just decided to be better safe than sorry.
Also assuming, that the new patch on the 13th will patch up Sky3DS for sure, and GW would be able to adapt to the new firmware (which is surely great IF), then the money goes all back to GW again. I m just trying to use their logic here.

Just my two cents

Actually Smash is so... LAGGIN cuz ppl always need to wait for the most laggin one... its not funny at all.

That is actually my train of thought as well but as you already know, not everyone "cares" or thinks like that. They want it release and release NOW, no matter the buggyness of the exploit, not caring about those who do care for there functional Mii being disabled. NOTHING. I really wish GW did release it and maybe karma can bite them but , naahh, I'm not involved with GW.

The only N3DS available to buy are JPN and AUS so there is zero logic to this in regard to releasing the exploit before Feb 13. They would simply say this is for AUS and JPN models as of now if that was a concern. Especially if they release it as a beta. One warning to test at your own risk is all they need.

They are not releasing N3DS support because it is not done. At this point that is the only logical explanation I can come to.

But members will still try anyways. Can't tell me that won't happen as I've seen plenty of idiots trying the 3DS exploit on there N3DS and say it doesn't work...........come on now.

That is their fault. Why would/should GW care if people do not listen? That aint their problem and it shouldn't be. Even the latest betas had brick warnings.

 

[tony_2018]

Thats why I think about the issue AS A WHOLE. If GW didn't release it than its proabably because they see owners of both N3DS and GW trying things they shouldn't.

I have now given up completely on Gateway. I'm now happily on the latest firmware rocking my themes and eshop support. Sky3DS for me ~~~

Also, where can I buy a Sky3DS from USA? Fast?
