I tried to buy a bunch of thumbstraps from Nintendo's Aussie warehouse but they were all out. This is the same warehouse that was sitting on a stash of GBA Players and GC component cables until last year, mind.

Gateway just released support for the New3DS.

It requires a physical copy of Ocarina of Time, which has already been impossible to find at a reasonable price for months.

Heh.

lol, loving my physical copy of oot even though I just use it to play oot.

GFL finding oot in the wild for a reasonable price after this. Look at what ninjhax did to cubic ninja prices and that was a lovely game

I hope Nintendo starts selling a new version of OoT3D that fixes whatever exploit the flash cart people are using, with no easy way of telling which version it is. It's not even a matter of convenience anymore if you can keep it all on an SD card. People just don't want to pay for games.

I mentioned it a page or two back, but a new print run of OoT3D carts is starting to turn up. Nintendo will probably just patch the exploit if they can.

I price matched it at TRU. I almost did it at Walmart but they wanted to be human being assholes about it and wouldn't do it because "it's out of stock there."

gently caress you Walmart.

E: Ace Attorney question. I just met Sal Manella. Uh...how the hell was this localized? I mean, do they have l33t sp34k in Japan? Or did they just rewrite stuff to make things more American? (Suck sores?) :laffo:

The localizers always have a ball doing their job in AA games. They're really, really great localizations and are part of the reason the franchise is nothing short of amazing.

I actually bought a 2nd copy (price matched at Best Buy) in case any of my friends wanted to play it but they either own it already or I don't have any friends or they don't want to play it.

Yeah, it's pretty terrible. But the game was localized in 2005. I doubt he would've talked in leetspeek if the game was localized today.

vvv Yeah, pretty much that.

I mean of course people wanna pirate games but having all my games and saves tied to an SD card that won't become useless if I lose or break the system I'm using actually does sound pretty convenient compared to how Nintendo handles it

Has anyone used the Nintendo coupon at Best Buy? Does anyone know how Best Buy stacks coupons?

I've got the $5 off Nintendo game, my GCU, and a 10% off movers coupon and I'm wondering if they'll all stack.

Yeah I mean don't get me wrong, I assume anyone buying a flashcart and claiming that's why is totally full of poo poo, but it's dumb as hell that you have more security for your games and save files when running pirated copies than you do by doing so legitimately

I've not tried it myself but I've seen users on cheapassgamer saying they've had stacks of discounts like that before.
