I'm just not updating my 3DS firmware... it is only for DS games, not 3DS games, by the way. I'm also going to point out that I use a flashcard because I download all my 3DS games digitally, and between that and having the ability to play my DS games on the card, I don't have to ever change out games. I also physically own all the DS games on the card. Still, I understand why they are doing it.


Where did you read that from?  It clearly said 3DS on the article.

Also that's a really dumb reason for defending flashcards.  The 3DS has a lot of support for downloading your retail games onto your SD card, that should be enough.

No flash card worked for 3DS games for the longest time, they worked for DS games on the 3DS only, so Nintendo was not losing sales on 3DS game because of it (although they still sell DS games, the effect was not the same.)  Apparently this had changed in the past month of so (just skimmed the opening post, sorry.)  I chose not to upgrade my firmware because I don't feel like dragging all my DS games around.  I'm not saying it's right, I'm not saying Nintendo is wrong in doing this, it is absolutley what they should do to combat piracey.  It's just not going to stop me from doing what I do.

Then says goodbye to online play, eshop and all future games.

People like you who would rather buy a 80$ device + the price of SD cards than buying legit games are losers and rats. That's what I think. I am glad Nintendo is owning the piracy scene so much with the 3DS.

With all the security, the update, the online, piracy will never become big on 3DS and the sales won't be impacted.
