Those things are literal garbage and a 2/3DS is a great piece of hardware that is trivial to unlock.

Everyone says how easy having your 3ds is but it has way more steps than I'm willing to entertain. Seems like it would take like an hour to set up, I'd rather play a video game

You can play any game you want on a hacked 3DS, takes about half an hour.

I dunno about 3DS games but if you don’t want to hack your 3DS you can get a DSTWO cart and load it up with DS ROMs.

Note I do not support or condone :filez: I am merely saying that is an option

Also I like my 3DS a lot and the 3D function is sweet, I’m playing Luigi’s Mansion 2 right now and it’s rad.

I think the majority of people who played 3DS games had the feature turned off or at the very least turned it all the way down.

It was an interesting bit of tech but it certainly wasn't a system seller. That said, certain games the effect worked really well and I still say that the 3DS version of Shovel Knight is the definitive version just because of how good the 3D looks.

3D doubles the amount of load on the GPU and the Switch can barely keep up with rendering things once

The 3DS only got away with it because the games were so graphically basic even for the time

So I have a bunch of Switch (and DS/3DS) game cases that I’m not using because all of my game carts are in a game holder case thing, is there any resale value to the empty cases or should I throw them in the trash? I see them for sale on eBay all the time but I don’t know if anyone actually buys them.

What a weird thing to get all aggro about, since all that will happen is you will make another post in a couple of days about you getting burnt out on the game or quitting because nothing presents a challenge

Bolded part at least isn't an issue in the DE, because you can turn on Expert Mode, which banks the EXP you earn from sidequests.

As long as the OP has that option turned on...

Hey FFXIV Porn, actual legit advice, turn on Expert Mode ASAP. You still get the exp from doing all the sidequests, you can just spend it when you want to, and adjust your levels how you see fit.

They're probably worth selling. Collectors might grab some to complete any loose games they picked up. I specifically bought a case on eBay once because a copy GameStop sent me looked like a dog chewed the case.

In a textbook example of adding insult to injury, the eShop website was just redesigned and all the wii u games disappeared. Looks like you have to use an actual wii u to browse and buy now.

hacking nintendo consoles is wrong imo

Taking back ownership of your device is ethically correct.

You paid someone else to develop a piece of hardware so that you could use that hardware.

Now that company says “stop using old hardware, only new hardware” “but what about Feature X on New Hardware?” “get hosed, old person. Now pay me more money for less things”

Imagine if it was a washing machine, or a heater, or a car, or anything where you bought thing in order to use it, and you stopping use of a thing was merely because they didn’t want you using thing anymore? Especially in the situation of here, where certain elements aren’t going to work anymore.

Now, yeah, nintendo isn’t obligated to keep running an “ancillary” service such as the 3DS store, and it’s not like they’re “bricking” your device from running (If facebook goes down, can you still use your Occulus? According to google, it’s basically a paperweight, not good), but somewhere in the sand, it kind of is “taking features away” because in this case, they’re “removing features” (the ability to buy the games legally) with no flow for transferring licenses to Switch Online, instead saying “we think being able to play Mario 1 is fine, and we don’t really care right now about you being able to play Mario 2 because it’s less important/less iconic/will make us less money”

Anyways, what I’m saying is the “planned obsolescence” is baked into the design, more than just the overarching point of entropy where some of these components like the battery, cpu, etc have a shelf life they’re planned on being good for. They want you to keep chasing the carrot, and it’s stupid and I hate it.

I don't disagree with the first statement but the second is... not true

You chose to buy a premade consumer good knowing full well what it was, you didn't commission the creation of a new technology here

Generally speaking, I bought a piece of hardware to fulfill a task. It does still do that “primary” task, but, it now does less tasks.

Foolishly or not, I think I should be able to use all tasks a device can feasibly do in perpetuity for the life of the company, or, if the device can’t do those tasks, then it’s the responsibility of the company to provide a means for the tasks to be completed in a different manner.

That is essentially the argument here.
