Just buy a 3DS. There's plenty of other games that you can play on it.

Nobody is too old to use a handheld console. Have you not noticed everyone playing Angry Birds?
Cell phone =/= Hand held console.

When you can call/text your girlfriend on a 3DS that's when i'll buy it.

Are you trying to insult Zed by saying he's poor because of the frugal choices he makes? Isn't that a bit rude and obnoxious?

You should already have a phone, so there shouldn't be need for another one. It's one of those foolish concepts, though. "Too old for a handheld." Almost everyone has one. Handhelds have twice as many sales than consoles.

What it can do is play the games you want to play in 3D. It's this type of idiotic ideology that ruins good things in life for being selfish and cheap. All of this ignorance will drive all of the companies to the ground, just like anime. Anime struggles to make their current anime English or sell their magazines. An emulator can be justified for its prices, rarity, and troubles for older games. But you're already trying to get a simulator for the newest handheld. That's barely been out. Let me guess. Even though you want to rap you don't go to concerts or purchase albums. Do you let them suffer as well yet consider yourself a "fan" of pokemon, rap and anime?

Except anime is literally suffering. They can't sell anything and have been struggling to produce anything. Nothing is sold in stores, watched on TV unless it's kids and nothing is ever watched or read at the appropriate sites so they at least get money for ads. Instead you go to free manga, never purchase a novel and will bitch on a weekly basis about the story.

My whole reason for emulating crap, is I dont see much point in buying a DS/3DS when im really only wanting to playing 1-2 games on it
Usually the Pokemon shit.
Doesn't really seem worth it to shell out money for one game.

Havent checked the 3DS stuff out yet, but the BIOs for normal DS was fairly easy to find if you looked around the right places and asked the right people.

I will only buy a 3ds if the majors mask remake comes out on the 3DS. Otherwise, to hell with the new handhelds. The emulator has a lot of built in features that the console itself can't compete with, like the ability to speed up gameplay, built in run time cheat engines, the ability to modify a rom with a few programs and limited program understanding, and with 3D Roma like 3ds, n64 or homebrew you can modify 3d settings to fit your computers needs. I'd pay for a computer emulator sponsored/endorsed/made by Nintendo granted it wasn't limited like an Apple product. No problem dropping money, but when a free product is superior to a paid product, why pay?

People worked hard for this game. An entire team dedicated to their customers. Shouldn't you out of anyone understand that? Those people's work you love so much to go through the trouble of breaking the law is being cheated. That leads to severe consequences. And we are seeing those consequences in an entire franchise. Music sales went to half if I remember right. They at least could go to digital to save convenience. In the gaming industry, you'd have to rely on cheaper games to produce and sell to get away with it. So our preference is convenience over quality. Which is just shameful. I'd rather play a game such as Skyrim over some farmville any day.

Pirating movies, music, games, etc. is exactly why people pushed for SOPA. But do they understand WHY? Because their actions DO affect businesses, whether they like it or not. And when that business goes under or goes through struggles, I'm pretty certain there will be dumbasses that will say something along the lines of this:

"omg that company failed lol they fuking suck at business"

while that same person has literally stolen every single piece of merchandise from said company, and never actually buys anything. And it's that person that, in large numbers, causes companies to fail. It is people who pirate CDs (I WILL give them a point and say that it is true that an extremely small percentage of CD/online sales actually goes to the musician/s that make a product) that contribute to a band's failure--regardless of how much somebody likes to make music, they can't support themselves or a career without making SOMETHING. People will pay $7 for a goddamn coffee, or $200 ****ing dollars on a pair of goddamn SHOES. But they will not pay $10 for a ****ing ALBUM. And albums can last a hell of a lot longer than coffee or shoes.

Video game companies are losing a shitton of money from people who pirate their games. Anime production companies (yes, including Viz and Funimation) lose a lot of money as well. And you know what makes it even better? Voice acting in anime is THE worst paying voice acting job you can get. It literally pays McDonald's level-wages in comparison to other voice acting venues, such as American cartoons...actually, no...is there a place that pays less than McDonald's? China's workshops, yeah: anime is the Chinese workshops of voice acting. And not to mention it's just as difficult if not more difficult to dub anime than any other animated medium. At least in a place like Japan, where 70% of the entire WORLD's animation takes place, there is enough job openings where a voice actor could support themselves. But not in America. And especially not in anime. The unanimous statement by anime voice actors is that they do not do it to become famous or because it's well paying (because it's shit pay), they do it because they like it. No other reason. They're the starving artists of voice acting.

Downloading a game or music to test it out and then buy it if you like it, or delete it if they don't is one thing, but people on the whole won't even do that. And Argon, remember your opinion on this. I know you mentioned wanting to start a video game company. Just remember what you said as people will very likely want to steal your game from you, deprive you of your profit and cheapen the work you and your friends/coworkers/minions do to make a product. Because I guarantee that ALL video game companies would make MUCH more money if they actually got paid for every game sold. And I'm pretty sure that you working in that field will change your mind, at least on game piracy.

I already know what Ryuuka posted, and I still support it. That's not even the half of it, either. Manga sales have dropped 50% in only five years in America. Half your profit gone in only five years while you're dropping SALES RECORDS everywhere else. That's is despicable how you can manage to improve your business and you lose your profits due to others scanning your work and sharing it for free. It's going to die in America and Europe if this continues. You will have to rely on translators for everything.

In the end. These people that are doing this to the companies they feel they are fans of, will bitch about the free manga they are reading. They will complain about the companies not trying to expand in their region. And they will not learn one fucking thing out of it all. Take Toonami for instance.How many wanted Toonami back and haven't looked at it? Instead have watched anime on sites since then? It's nothing less than their ignorance destroying what they love. Over selfish reasons so that their convenience surpasses their quality.

what's that first sentence supposed to mean you buttface


But yeah. I want to be a graphic novelist. But I'm scared pissless when it comes time for me to actually want to make a product because I know if I make my product available online and in book form, people will very likely ONLY want to read the online version, but if I make a high quality physical product, they won't get it because there's already an online version and it's free. But it's not free. Because I'll very likely sacrifice hours and hours of time just to make a product that people can steal in 3 seconds.

And if I make a graphic novel that is physical only, I know damn well it will be almost impossible to support myself unless it happens to be one of those sleeper hits, like what Naruto became when it first showed up in America...on Toonami.

I understand exactly where you're coming from. The safest choice is to go into American comics. Those need certain programs to be read and scanned, but it's still happening. It's just not as bad as having hundreds of sites having it in the open, just clicks away to read the entire thing and share it yourself.

You guys mean good but I doubt it will stop people, they will either try to justify there cause no matter how crazy it sounds or flat out not care.
Worst thing I do is rent games though.

Pirating does a lot less harm than you think. If you read what most people in this topic are saying, they wouldn't have bought the 3DS either way. If they can't pirate, they're not going to go out and buy the system and game. So if they pirate, it doesn't harm the people who made the game because they would not have got that money anyways. In fact if they like the game and people ask them about it they would tell them its good, which may get others who have the will to buy the game to do so.
