Nintendo Can Remotely Disable New 3DS System

[lazymangaka]

Good on Nintendo for trying to stop all of this piracy. It's about time that companies started fighting back.

im done with being a "gamer."

i would like to thank all the game companies that nickle and dimed me and treated me like a criminal while doing it: thank you for opening my eyes!

A lot of old school Nintendo fans that have been gaming since the 80's bought all of those systems and the games that came with them over the years. Those gamers would feel a sense of entitlement to hack their latest mobile device to be able to play games they'd purchased over the last 25 years without having to buy them again. I personally have no interest in mobile gaming of any sort but I would certainly support any "pirate" that was pirating for the above reasons. I think that's ultimately what Nintendo wants isn't? Keep selling the old IPs while releasing and selling updated or new IPs, and milking it all like 50 different versions of the Star Wars movies?

That's great since the only Nintendo users I know are 10 years old and younger, they only thing they hack is the cookie jar. Nintendo is irrelevant.

well that doesn't surprise anyone here sounds like you don't have any friends at all or your just a shut-in 10yo yourself and just troll on the net all day

FAIL

Good to know,
the 3ds is the next system I'll NOT buy then!

 

[aftcomet]

Because pirates update their systems using Nintendo's service and not re-released already hacked firmware that might have this already removed from it....

Waste of time and money.

 

[ProDigit10]

too much chance some hackers find a way to remotely disable the 3DS, and too high risk of buying a bricked second hand one.

Haven't purchased a Nintendo product since I spent $199.99 on my SNES, and never will again. Nintendo is lingering, Hackers are criminals by the way.

[citation][nom]sdeleon515[/nom]lets face it the major and predominant reason to mod anything is to simply play pirated games.[/citation]

This is entirely true. Sure, there are a few honest types out there who are simply tinkering for the sake of tinkering, I won't deny that. The vast--and I mean VAST--majority of console modding goes directly towards the purpose of playing pirated games. And pirated games are bad, boys and girls.

These companies need to stop saying they are "selling" but are "leasing". When you BUY a car, you can do what you want to it. When you LEASE a car, you cannot replace rims, replace the engine, add cool air intake etc. When I BUY a computer, I can add a new video card, DL games etc with no trouble.

When I BUY a PS3, I should be able to do what I want, when I want and how I want. When I BUY a 3DS, I should be able to run any game I want, how I want and where I want.

If I sell you my video card, I could care less what you do to it after I get payment.

You should absolutely be able to play the games you want on your 3DS--provided that you purchased them legally. Why should you be entitled to play stolen games on your console? If someone caught you installing a stolen stereo in your car, you'd go to jail. If you get caught installing a stolen operating system on your computer, most of the time it can be remotely disabled. And if you play stolen games on your 3DS, you get it bricked.

Sounds pretty fair to me.

You must eat your 70 dollar video games then, you didn't graduate high school did you?

What if I took the stereo out and modified it so I could play .flac files... see you just don't really understand what's going on with corporations or the law, you just think it's simple and clean cut.

Maybe I want 3ds to play .flac files because I want it to play the format I want it to play... should they brick my 3ds... they will...

you people advocating anti mod don't seem to get that this picture is bigger than just video games.

With piracy the way it is, cloud gaming could be starting to appeal to a lot of developers. Done right, it could almost wipe out theft, I mean - piracy.

That'll be a sad day when that happens though..

Not only do I doubt he has not purchased Nintendo games since the SNES, it is a complete lie when he says all hackers are criminals... we have hackers in government, corporations and we pay them to hack... do you people really have such low intelligence that you don't know this when you spout lies in public space?

Cloud gaming can appeal to the game companies all they want, if we don't want it we won't have it, cloud is really just a system of control which has advantages and disadvantages. the reason we don't use cloud now is because in the past cloud was and always will have to bad of disadvantages.

those of us from the pre 90s prefer to own things, those born after can be trained to not care that they rent everything and pay more... it's just the way our world works.
