Do you miss pass codes? you know these codes you inputed on NES generation games without a battery saveslot?
They had a couple of advantages:
_ Your saves couldn't be errased
_ Your saves were not console/cartridge dependent
_ You could crack the code and give yourself extra amo/life
_ You could have saves unlocking easter eggs
_ You could get a save past the point where you're stuck
They also had disadvantages:
_ You had to write them down
_ You could lose your piece of paper
There is some sort of resurgence of pass codes, 2 recent example of which are the following:
_ SSF43D codes to redeem figurine for spotpass (Tokyo Game Show Chun-Li: zAAkcHVbHk)
_ Mii Bar codes for the3DS :
