It's cruel to give them that level of entertainment and then snatch it away

And yet that could still probably sell for 100 bucks on eBay. Retro game prices are insane

Oh shit. Well it has been quite a long time now since I played on original hardware. I don’t even know where my 3DS is anymore. I was gonna just play on an emulator honestly. Maybe I’ll try to find it and boot it up again just to be safe…

Whatever they (Nintendo) did with their batteries, can everyone else do that too?

Is that still an issue? That's an article from 2021, about a game on a console that is surely new enough to be able to push game updates to patch issues like that.

It's a cartridge type that uses flash media that degrades over time. So yeah, it's still an issue. More cartridges have probably died since 2021. I know one out of my three did back in 2023.

The 3DS handheld has an automatic repair function built-in that may be able to correct issues, but we also have tools you can use if you have custom firmware.
