Wow thats alot of games.  I think piracy is actualy helping nintendo somewhat because I bought the ds and 1 game and then bought a few more later.  Now I bought a ds lite because of the supercard. without it I would have never realy bought any ds games or anything.

Well my Supercard is definately helping out Nintendo sales, my friends who can't buy online buys all their games, so they buy the games they see on my flashcart.

Quote from: "Zygarth"I do have a great deal of gba games though.

Really? I just sold 72 ofthem for a hundred bucks! HAHAHAHA!
 like cream soda...

I buy all the DS/GBA games I want.  Supercard/key will only be used for NES SNES emu and homebrew apps, not games.
Current setup:
Onyx DSlite/R4DS/SCminiSD
2gig Transcend card for the SCminiSD
2gig Kingston for the R4DS
4 gigglingbytes of games/apps! WOOT!

wow... so you sold them for an average of $1.38 per game..  is that a good deal? ;)

PharaohsVizier

I sold a bunch of GBA games for like $5-$10 each.  They are still awesome games, I know a lot of people who haven't made the switch from GBA to NDS yet.

5-8 games... (DS lite since 07/2006)

i use the SCLite for a free trial of the most games. if a game is worth the money i go and buy it. for example i have a chipped xbox ... but i also bought 44 original games. i have a EZII and bought 17 GBA games ....
when the game-developers do a good job, i give them my money. if nobody buy their games... they will stop their work. i'm sorry, but i don't understand people like Zygarth...

I have about 30 DS games. I try to buy all games that I (or my kids) play often. I'm guilt free about testing games before I buy them. Currently I still need to pick up Star Fox, Mech Assault, and Pirates of the Caribbean. I will get them soon.

I don't buy games anymore.
Here in Europe we get games months after everyone else.
When we ACTUALLY get the games...
And I don't talk about the prices higher than in US or Japan.

I don't feel guilty anymore about piracy.
Nintendo and Sony treat us like shit, no way they'll get my money.

yeah. thats our curse. but they have to translate every game in french, german, italian, spanish...

it was always like this. if you like to play in english, you can import the games from the USA. they also get the games later and buy them...

Keroro

Sorry but it wasn't always like this.
I remember SEGA in the 90s giving us europeans Phantasy Star and others Shining in the Darkness in english.
That's the way I learned english with my dictionnary aside.
And now that most of european countries teach english as second language in school, they say it MUST be localized.
To me it's assuming players as retarded people.

And import is not a way.
It cost 70 euros to switch your PS2 in order to play games that'll cost you another 70 euros.
I can tell you that once it's switched, it's internet download for free games.

This stupid region protection in a world always speaking about "globalization" has no other point to control WHAT and WHEN you play.
It's a shame, and that's why I say they treat gamers like shit.

But I'm not worried for the games market.
There'll always be more dumb people to buy a PES a year, than people mastering the art of piracy.

i think this is why sony failed and nintendo pervailed

many many less people have supercards to pirate nds games... probably about 10%
and 80+% of people with a psp can pirate games with the use of just a memory stick
