So, every time you boot up a game, it has to check your account?

At least you don't have to be online the whole time, I guess.

Yea there would have to be some kind of DRM obviously. It's not like it takes an hour for it to check or something so who cares.

Well I would start by saying that I care, since my 3DS can only connect to the internet at my house or at a couple of friends' houses. In a car, plane, bus, train, park, waiting room, theater, hotel -- no Virtual Console for you!

You don't have to be online to play the free PS+ games either.
