Welp, time to get cracking on the 3DS hack. Although it's a low priority, I bought what I wanted, and probably more than I should have.

The process on Wii U was quite simple, but the 3DS one seems quite a bit more involved. Not necessarily complicated, but a lot of steps I don't feel like following right now. Turns out food poisoning drains your will to do such things, who knew?
 
Arlo really nails it in this video why, when it comes to video games, piracy is often no longer really piracy. "You can't steal something from a store that's not selling it."

Finally got the 3DS hacked. This will be nice - I'm currently ripping my 3DS games. No more cart swapping!

Yeah, he's not wrong. And for the 3DS and Wii U ports to other consoles won't really replicate the experience at all.

All these people saying "can't wait to play Tears of the Kingdom at 4k 60 FPS on my PC" can get in the bin though

If they ain't buying it, agreed. (I may experiment with it, though, once I get my copy, although I haven't tried Switch emulation yet. My best system is actually the Steam Deck, so I don't think it's going to give me better performance than native.)

Yeah, sales take man hours to coordinate and advertise. In the case of say Atlus's specific niche 3DS catalog it might make sense in this situation, but probably not Nintendo's broader 3DS catalog and definitely not their Wii U catalog given how much of it is on the Switch too.

Funnily enough someone pointed out that since Atlus advertised their last big 3DS sale as their "final" sale they liking couldn't do another sale without falling foul of false advertising regulations

I definitely went nuts during that last Atlus sale. Although I still wish I'd bought a physical copy of SMT IV: Apocalypse when it was more reasonably priced. Hopefully it will start edging down again.
