Can literally refresh amazon etc and watch the price rise on seller copies of this game in real time.
Fuckin scalpers...
I paid 20 for it...
Eh, it makes sense. Supply and demand and all that.
Glad I got it for £2.50 though!
EDIT: Heh, CEX haven't changed their price, but they are out of stock bar one store.

Well, that's not entirely true.
I ripped my entire Game Boy/Color collection using an N64 Transfer Pak and an Everdrive 64. I ripped all of my GBA games using a DS Lite and a flashcart.
Now, there's nothing wrong here in my country about playing those titles I have legally backed up.
edit: oh, you just added the "off the internet" part. Well, yeah.

I'll wait for the second wave of everybody selling the game once they've used it.
You need to boot it everytime you want it. People will be keeping hold of it.

You need the Game every time you want to run the Homebrew Channel. They might get around that but initially people will be holding onto the game

I went in 5 shops in Shinjuku, nothing
But it's not an easy game to find, new or used.
I give up anyway

Don't feel too bad if you missed getting before the hoardes descended, I imagine like every other time before it where one game was specifically needed to run an exploit, this will lead to further exploits becoming known without the need of this one particular game.

How is the game's name written in kana?
Thanks man!
Game costs 13 Euros at Ebay.de
It sucks that I just missed out on the £12 copy from play.com. Prices going crazy now.
Closest I've managed to get is a notification of when a local store is going to get a copy. Who knows what they'll do with the price though. Are there any sites remaining that sell it for under £15?

Game.co.uk had it for £7.99 - I just bought one.
...but now they're out of stock. options are running out fast. As far as I know, there are no sites selling it for under £15 left.

I'm overeating a little here. Let me just get this out of my system as I do feel bitter. I don't like how the announcement was handled. The PSA was shit and the timing of the announcement itself too. It also seems like a moving of the goalposts (going from game announced when exploit is to a few days before to right now)
I'll be watching from the sidelines as there are no non scalped prices left. But lets be frank here. There was never going to be enough supply of Cubic Ninja.
Amazon UK movers and shakers:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/movers-and-shakers/videogames/ref=zg_bs_tab_t_bsms
As for other exploit games. Very few games have vectors and getting saves onto carts is non-trivial.
I thought there was a way to get a QR code to show up but maybe that is for download only games.

Are you aware that the Japanese version is on the eShop? (the only region where it is out on the eShop in fact)
It is Cubic Ninja just in roman text. http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/software/aqnj/index.html

My local Kmart and Wal-Mart both have a good dozen Cubic Ninjas sitting in their bargain bin areas. Hell, fucking Kohls probably has a few. Don't fear venturing into the retail world and spending ~$5 if online prices bug you.
Problem is, you can't apply that to the rest of the world. Here in the UK, our options are seriously limited for a game like this.

True enough. I assumed any region that had a physical release would have their own chain store variations carrying old unsold stock, but who knows. At least if you're in the U.S., it should be encouraging.
We have game and CEX as national chain stores. cex have exactly ONE copy of the game in the entire country and GAME stores are spread apart and tend to get rid of old stock very quickly.
Majority of other supermarkets and chain retail stores have withdrawn Nintendo products completely anyway. So yeah, online is our best bet.

My hope is that one day I can import a game and install it to my unit as if it were a digital copy. That would be so amazing!
If you could make the 3DS recognize and play a game copied to the SD card from a cartridge, you are not far off from being able to play any game that's copied onto the SD card. Which would be the way into piracy. So personally, I hope this never happens.
By the way, how sure are we on this exploit allowing region unlocking? Is the latest still that "it should be possible"?
