    Oh man, new trailers, new Hikaru Utada theme song, new Riku design that.... makes him look like a palette swap of Noctis?

    No full release date yet, but they're sticking to 2018 and announcing it this E3.

    Can't believe this is finally happening. After 12 years we're actually getting KH3.

    Guess I should go watch Monsters Inc. now, as that's one Disney movie I never got around to.

    I can't decide what to do with these two games I bought that are unplayable unless I irreversibly unhack my Vita and update the firmware.

    I've already gotten offers high enough to cover what I paid for them, so it should be simple... I replace Steins;Gate 0 with the PS4 version, and Atelier Shallie... Well, I really don't wanna trot out my PS3 anymore, and it does have less content than the Vita version, but that's always an option.

    And yet it's so hard... I haven't sold a game in like 8 years. The thought of parting with these games and possibly never being able to own them again....

    At least there's a hacked version of Steins;Gate 0 out there that does run on hacked firmware... But then I'd just have this sealed copy of Steins;Gate 0 in a tub somewhere, until I unseal it just to put it on a shelf, never ever getting played for as long as I live. That's not what physical media is about!

    There is another option... I could sacrifice my PS Vita TV. But chances are I'll run into another recent Vita release that doesn't support it, and I'll just be left in the same situation again.

    So what do I do? Buy a second Vita? No, that's too pricy, and updating the firmware would still feel like a massive waste. PS Vita TVs are still cheap and readily available on Amazon.com, though... Do I buy a second one just to play these 2 games, and possibly a couple more visual novels?

    Arghhh!!! I can't do it! I don't know! Help me!

      Editing … This is satire, isn't it.

      Editing … Partially, but also a legitimate dilemma of mine. Anyway, I'm proud to say I've decided to get rid of them. My Vita collection was never all that impressive anyway and my Switch collection has already overtaken it. I'm gonna stop buying Vita games (with the exception of maybe Deemo, but I *really* want a physical copy of that for Switch to go along with my copy of Voez) and focus on Switch.

      Editing … Weird, I didn't get a notification for your reply. I only saw it because I wanted to comment a second time to compliment you on your craftsmanship. But I also knew it had to have been based on an actual dilemma, otherwise how else would you have thought of it in such detail. ^_^

    Huh, apparently Amazon Germany launched Prime support for the Netherlands on November 9th and nobody told me. Would've been nice to know considering I already had a Prime Video subscription going and could've consolidated them.

    So @Gries He, as both a German and devout follower of Amazon, what do you suggest I waste Amazon resources on now that I get free overnight shipping from Germany?

    So far I've ordered:
    24 packs of Leibniz Pick Up Choco & Milk biscuits
    6 packs of Leibniz Zoo animal crackers
    4 boxes of Cheerios
    6 cans of Maggi Ravioli with spicy sauce
    6 packs of Maggi Topfinito currywurst with potatoes
    2 cans of Erasco meatballs
    6 bottles of Granini Pink Grapefruit juice
    6 bottles of Valensina Blood Orange juice
    12 cartons of Berchtesgadener Alp wholemilk

    Sadly none of the sodas will ship to the Netherlands, and neither does Amazon Pantry so I'm left having to buy everything in bulk.

    Of course, practically all the supermarkets here have delivery services these days, but it's far more entertaining to make separate orders for each individual product, and have them all delivered by mail on the same day.

    It sucks when you play the latest game in the series, and you're like "This is awesome! I'm really in an Ys mood right now and should play that last game I skipped." But then I look up footage of #Ys: Memories of Celceta, and I'm like "Nope... Not the same game. No jumping, no behind-the-back-camera, no 60fps, bosses take goddamn FOREVER..." I'm sure it's still a fine game, but it's just not the downgrade I'm looking for right now. I might just pick up #Ys Origin on PS4 or Vita, though...

    Anyway, Ys VIII's really good. Be sure to get it on PS4 or PC so you don't miss out on the additional content.

      Editing … Yeah, the series has gone through many different phases over the years. VIII is essentially the ultimate evolution of the party phase, taking the system started in Seven but also bringing back the platforming elements from the previous phase in the series, and also adjusting the camera. So, just liking one game doesn't mean you'll love them all. VIII is my favorite, but Origin, Oath in Felghana and Ark of Napishtim are all excellent as well.

    So I got in my pre-order on Amazon France, but I don't know that I even want it... 95 euros + 5 euros shipping is at least double what this thing is actually worth. And they kinda ruined the design by hiding the controller ports behind a panel, meaning you'll always have this ugly piece of plastic sticking out if you want controllers plugged in.

    Anyway, I'll leave it sitting there for now just so I don't need to worry about it the coming days, but I might just cancel it anyway.

    Big day for 3DS hacking (actually a couple days ago now...). 3DS hacking was already really easy if you were on 11.3 or lower, but from 11.4 onward you were shit outta luck if you didn't wanna open up your console to do some soldering.

    There's now a new method called ntrboothax, which works on all 3DS systems ever released, on all firmwares past and likely future as well.

    All it requires is a magnet (unless you have a regular 2DS), a specific flashcard (more should be made compatible in the future, but it's only 18 bucks and easy to come by), and a 3DS already running custom firmware so you can install the exploit to the flashcard.

    In the future, there should be a new method released which uses the Action Replay Powersaves rather than a second system. But honestly, if you don't have the necessary equipment, I'm sure you can find someone local to do it for you for 10 bucks.

    I've been waiting for this as I got a #New Nintendo 2DS XL (Liquid Metal Slime Edition) two weeks ago which shipped with 11.4. Now I can finally region-unlock that thing to use it with my entire collection of games, and grab myself a copy of Xenoblade and Hyrule Warriors.

      Editing … So someone already came along and created a rom file that you can load off the flashcard, that patches the flashcard to allow ntrboothax. So the entire process can now be completed even with a single unhacked system.
