look i'm not gonna advocate for General Piracy on my fucking work account but i will wholeheartedly advocate for piracy in cases where It Is Otherwise Impossible To Buy The Thing In Question.
you can't buy 3ds games anymore. sure, you could pay scalper prices for a cartridge (none of that money goes to the devs or publisher) but if the game you want was never released on cartridge? too fuckin bad, your only option is to pirate it.
nintendo is obvs within their rights to make piracy on their platforms more difficult, but to do that immediately after shutting down all legal methods of purchasing games is just pointless. who benefits from this? literally no one. what does nintendo gain here? some sort of ideological superiority? it's dumb.
anyway. it's really easy to hack your 3ds. anyone can do it. i recommend doing it while it's still easy.
