Osu Tatakae Ouendan is on my top of DS games, I could not have played it if it was region locked... (EBA is crap).
All leaked devices so far lacked the actual operating system. I honestly doubt anyone can crack a protection that isn't even completely in place. Not to mention 3DS flashcards would most likely need absurd amounts of RAM to buffer the games, as flash is too slow to be used directly.Eteric Rice said:

EBA had "You're the inspiration" by Chicago (*sniff*) and Walkie Talkie Man... it wasn't crap, it just wasn't as brilliant as Ouendan
I'm out as well until someone hacks it. Region coding means I won't be able to play a single game.
As long as Pokemon is on it I will still buy it, but it's like they're trying to push me away, price and battery and analog slider and mandatory hacking included. Heck, I'm starting to consider skipping Pokemon the next gen and playing it through BC later.

(for me at least) warranty, European charging cable, and not pissing myself from such an expensive thing going through air delivery without warranty. Also a couple of smaller bonuses I get from buying it at a store near me.Boney said:

Has nothing to do with that actually. It helps the need to pirate if anything.

listen to the mad man
tinycartridge copypasta'd my post (with a very gracious hat tip) about the pros and cons of choosing to buy a 3DS from each region.
thanks for the acknowledgement guys and i love the site!

Uhh, well he's complaining about the region protection. You can import the system, but you can't play the games from his country.

This will probably be the first hack implemented. Running off of an SD card or not.

I'm not sure. I was on the fence about picking a 3DS up on the Japanese launch, but leaning towards it. However the region protection is making me pull back from that thought.
I've never had to accept region protection in the past on handheld game systems, and at the price Nintendo is asking for the 3DS I'm not sure if I want to start now.
This is killing my idea of buying one for the time being.

Keep in mind customer service reps know less about these things than we do. I'm speaking from experience, I worked at Nintendo as a Gameplay Counselor when the Virtual Boy came out: we were given information about the Virtual Boy three weeks before its release, we were able to buy the systems two weeks before release. Before that, no word at all about the VB, and it wasn't in the computers.Keyouta said:

So this showed up in the funny pictures thread in the OT. Not sure if it's real or not.

What Slot 2?

Fucking stupid, especially for a portable system.
If I travel to Europe, now I cant buy a 3DS game at the airport store.
If anything region locking encourages piracy. I don't want to buy a new system, so I install a custom homebrew. Oh the game that I was planning on import suddenly seems so expensive...

But the SD card is not the microSD. The MicroSD on a flash cart would go in slot one.cooljeanius said:
The 3DS has an SD card slot. I suppose it's theoretically possible that it's a microSD in a SD adapter, but why would the software recognize it as that when it's in the SD card slot?
That, and what I can only assume is K-On porn on the bottom screen, kinda screams fake.

I don't understand why the shopper didn't just crop out the woman.
It gives a location and date for the picture, so someone could within minutes pull up the original. Did they just want us to think that the Acekard people totally hang out with Japanese booth babes all day?

It is. You can even see the lip of the actual screen stop before the image does.
We are going to get fakers for the next few months at least, just like the GameCube hackers.

Haha didn't notice that.
Actually I noticed something funny with the 3D light on the 3DS when I played it.
There seems to be two modes with it; (depending on the game)
1. It's on when the 3D is on or when there is 3D available no matter what the position.
2. The light is on only when you have the slider switched up.
Weird :/
I know all of ya are saying this is lamo cause of the games but there's another reason it stinks! My original DS was a japan import cause NoA never bothered ta release the pink one in the US. So not only are we gonna be limited on what games we can play but also which color system we can have ~_~;
Now it's really official.
On regions:
Why:
It will be mentioned on the packaging:

Can I just say something? Fuck you Nintendo and your desperate need to save the children. I'm a grown ass man in terms of what I can play any age rating of any region is not of my concern. I don't need you to tell me what I can and can't play. And your reason for stuff not working properly is a fucking bad excuse because things worked out wonderfully in the past.

What. The only possible reason games from one region wouldn't work well on a system from another region was if you specifically put in regional differentiation so the system is even aware that there is such a thing as regions.

Just 3DS games and a few DSi enhanced games.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
You know, I just realized how funny it is to look back at old comments.
Anyway, aren't "enhanced" stuff simply just region lockout and nothing else?

All DSi Enhanced games ? Not sure about that. You won't be able to play all games using the GBA slot, such as Guitar Hero, or DSi Enhanced games that are not from the region of your 3DS. Basically, everything that would run on a DSi of your region will run on a 3DS of the same region !

The only region locked DSi enhanced games I know about are the Japanese versions of Pokémon Black & White. (I've never played anything else so forgive me for not knowing) Also, why did you bump this old topic. >_>;
