I think it has more to do with making it harder for flash cards to work with every 3DS. Majority of flash cards for the DS were produced in China and it was easy for anyone to import one and get it working with their console.

With 3DS having updateable firmware and an SD card slot, this'll be figured out eventually.


True, just like the Wii.

This time, even easier, too. Given that a flashcart is no longer needed.

I thought all games were made in China anyway. So aren't they just selling the same game that you would get in stores but coming directly from the source? Kind of like buying from wholesalers for a cheap price or something.

Nope, they are cheap version they do not fit perfectly has some need to be forced in and if you open the material inside is thin and cheap feels like paper.



Switch!!!
