Yeah. I got it used from that cow site, and it had the saddest game collection on it and a wallpaper of this hazy photo of this kid's family

I don't actually own a copy of asscreed on my vita account tho :colbert:. Actually I'm not sure let me check my download list *spends the next 2 hours sifting through an unsorted list of PS3 dlc and ps plus shovel ware *

something i could suggest is a flash cart for your 3ds too. like this is maybe a moral issue for some but its something im familiar with cos i was poor growing up and even now that i have money i still use one because it allows you to play snes nes gba games etc on one handheld. the way i see it, if a games out of print then nobody is making money from it except for the guy selling the used copy of it to you.

theres a lot of truth/wisdom to that suggestion, OP, you should check your firmware

Yeah. I only go for physical copies of old stuff if it's like, 10 dollars MAX, since it's just giving money to resellers. I usually prefer the original hardware to emulation where I can, not out of any perceived purity, but because I'm stupid with computers and always seem to have problems with anything more involved than a SNES emu.

I'm planning on playing Yakuza 2 but I have to deal with a PS2 emulator because physical copies are like 150+ dollars. Who really wants Yakuza 2 booklets that much.

about a year ago i asked the impzone how to beat the early minotaur boss in smt4 because my wife, who pretty much only plays pokemon games was rage quitting and going bonkers over its difficulty and i never played the game myself so i didn't know.
today she finally remembered the game and wanted to try again and asked me to look at what you guys suggested and i look at her status in the game and her save in front of the boss has zero mp on all her characters, which from other games i know is probably not the way to beat a boss. i fixed that for her and told her based on your replies how to get the moves she needed and she won 1st try.
so anyway thanks for helping my family. now we will take 3ds on vacation so she can play the game more

maybe i'm biased because i have a new one but i've seen them side by side and its still pretty good. the colors are about as vibrant, the biggest difference is that oled does black pixels real good since its not backlit

Can't go wrong with some smash and Theatrerhythm to kill half an hour, and Monster Hunter for longer periods of time. The tiny OG 3DS makes my hands and neck hurt tho
