Because it’s a hardware problem. The GBA used an ARM7 CPU, the 3DS an ARM11. In order to get flawless playback they had use ARM7 mode of the 3DSs processor. When you do this you can’t use any new features, one of those is sleep. Sort of like running 32bit Windows on 64 bit CPU still doesn’t let you use more than 4GB…

It would be incredibly more expensive to do it by standard phone, you’d have to buy probably a few hundred lines in dozens of countries in order to keep a reasonable service time. With a smartphone authenticator app they can use their existing server setup. Much cheaper. Texting is slightly more expensive but again…

Because it’s not a great solution. It makes something singleplayer online only for a not so great reason. Maybe they could have made it two discs? Or offered lower quality video on disc for those with shit/no internet and streaming for those that do etc. It’s pretty similar to EA’s Need for Speed “we wanted…

There is only two games that need the the New 3DS Xenoblade Chronicles 3D and The Binding of Isaac Rebirth. Some games like MH4 and Smash Bros. run a bit better on New 3DS with faster loading and better textures along with c-stick support but they still work fine on normal 3DS/2DSs.

Well, To be fair the PSP-1000 people did have to buy a whole new console to get TV out. And the Vita TV does TV WELL. The PSP kinda half assed it. PSP games ran in a window, the cables were really short too which was annoying unless you had a PSP Go and could use a PS3 controller.

It’s a few hundred titles. Most of the early stuff like Uncharted, Gravity Rush, Metal Gear Solid HD don’t work. Some newish games like Fighting Climax don’t work, and there’s a random smattering of PSP games that don’t work like Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles. Anything that seriously uses the touch screen doesn’t…

Netflix doesn’t work on the American Playstation TV either, hasn’t since launch. For NA launch it really should have.

????Why would any of that require piracy????

Nintendo seems incredibly clueless in regards to some things. Like I’d like to buy a Lucina Amiibo or really any other FE amiibo right now yet the only place I can get it is from Japan at twice the price. I would’ve thought they’d reprint them before the release of a new Fire Emblem where they are useful. It’s so…

Well, I just meant that if someone has a PS3/PC or a PSP they could already play most of what you listed. Exclusives just give more of a reason to buy the thing than just play PS1 games on PS3. The 3DS shit screen aside has a ton of games that can only be played there. There’s just more reason to pick one up if you’re…

Well, I mean to be fair none of those games are exclusive and only 2 were until recently. It’s a great system but a large part of it’s non-JRPG library is ports and old games from other systems. If I didn’t like JRPGs and didn’t perfer handhelds to PC/Console I’d probably skip the Vita too.

Even discounting JRPGs, don’t most RETAIL Vita games require a memory card? Well, I guess the 2000 series has 1GB built in, but that wouldn’t even cover the patches for KillZone or Borderlands 2. So I have no idea what you’d play on there without one.

If NX comes out Nov. 2016 which seems doubtful considering how little we know about it and Nintendo’s previous reveals and schedules. 4 years isn’t that far off their normal schedule. Most are like 5 years. The GBA and the DS are only 3.5 years apart. Ditto on the GBC to GBA. I’m thinking 2017 holiday season is most…

I don’t think it was E.T. that single handedly destroyed the western video game market. It was a glut of crap. Crap consoles and crap games with lots of crap ports of good games. Terrible terrible crap. E.T. was bad, but it probably would have happened with or without E.T.

I’m hoping my Awakening strategy of just one super couple powering thorough the game holds.

The only reason the icons and text look right is they took it straight from Pokemon Trading Card Game on Game Boy.

Why not both? I like arcade modes since there is usually a decent AI rampup plus it’s the right length of time. Many fighting games have both survival and arcade modes out of the gate. Survival can be fun but I don’t often feel like doing 30 or 50 fights in a row.

Microsoft with the 360 was just the worst of both worlds. Sony put a decent amount of storage in and made it near trival to replace the HDD at a normal cost. Nintendo cheaped out and basically guaranteed that 8GB people have to buy an external drive sometime.

School. Some kid probably told it to you who looked it up on the internet or heard it from someone else who did. Missing No. is an important part of the item duplication trick so it’s no surprise kids spread that shit like wildfire to get unlimited Master Balls. Internet guides existed in 1998, GameFAQs goes back to…

Sooo like every CCG ever? They all do this and they’d all way rather you play Standard as it makes them more money.
