• 3DS Japanese launch lineup announced, along with BlazBlue for later in 2011 (Joystiq)

  Jan 8th 2011 5:19PM Though I guess this makes me sound nitpicky, I do wonder why joystiq choose such an unflattering Street Fighter image. Was there really nothing better? Guess this stood out for me since I do have some interest in buying SF.

• Classic Golden Sun commercial finally explained by Dark Dawn (Joystiq)

  Nov 28th 2010 12:14AM So we've gone from wondering what the commercial had to do with Golden Sun, to wondering how the heck it fits into the GS mythos... To paraphrase Futurama: "This just raises further questions"!

• THQ executive impressed by 3DS piracy protection (Joystiq)

  Jul 12th 2010 12:47PM Last I checked, you can play downloaded cartridges on the DSi. However, no flash cart maker has managed to access the DSi specific hardware like the camera and the additional memory. Basically, while you can play most games on the DSi, games that have been created for only the DSi don't work.

• Swag Saturday: Soul Calibur / Kingdom Hearts travel pack (DS/PSP) (Joystiq)

  Dec 6th 2009 3:31PM I guess having the in-flight entertainment breaking in an non stop flight to Korea, and "bonding" with my neighbor with our DS lites is the best I got.

• DSi XL's Japanese launch is also pretty big (Joystiq)

  Nov 25th 2009 10:43PM DSLite cheaper than the PSP by 30 bucks or so, but the DSi is about the same price.

• Spanish judge throws out criminal case against DS flash cart seller (Joystiq Nintendo)

  Nov 24th 2009 8:57AM Hmm... very interesting. I'd stick with the gba to ds method though (unless one wants to save cash). It's considerably less complicated.

• Spanish judge throws out criminal case against DS flash cart seller (Joystiq Nintendo)

  Nov 24th 2009 3:17AM Technically, there's not way a DS flash cartridge can backup your games unless one also defines backup as "download a game you already have from some site," and I believe that's still considered illegal (at least in the U.S no idea about Spain). You can use a gba flash cartridge however.

• Portable GameCube hack brings Sunshine everywhere it goes (Joystiq Nintendo)

  Nov 12th 2009 7:16PM Making a portable GameCube is well within their abilities. The problems are, can it be made portable, and can it be made cheaply?

• Put your Fear Factor GBA cartridge to good use (turn it into a thumb drive!) (Joystiq Nintendo)

  Sep 18th 2009 8:24PM Deal Extreme is selling those screwdrivers for $0.85 each with free shipping. http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.1887

• Review: Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story (Joystiq)

  Sep 17th 2009 7:10PM I agree, it's a fun game. But my god, must Bowser be a butt-monkey in every scene? I haven't felt this sorry for a character ever since the Trix Bunny was on TV.
  
  Also, Bowser has a magic ass. Who knew?
