I thought this game was dead. Glad to see that isn’t the case.

Did you softmod it to be able to play US and JP games? By default it shouldn’t be able to do this as all 3DS systems are region locked.

Does Spirit Tracks and Phantom Zelda count?

I thought when you died you had to start all the way back at the start?

Perhaps you can’t interact with the road unless you touch it but you can see it appear for the ghost.

I agree. Nintendo made a bad decision when they designed 3 different online systems for 3 systems (Wii, 3DS/Wii U and Switch).

Pretendo is already functional if you pay for their Patreon. Not everything works but I’ve heard it’s in a pretty good state.

The PS3 and Xbox 360 are 17 and 18 years old. The 3DS and Wii U have just reached 12 and 10 years old.

Microsoft and Sony seem be able to keep the servers up without any issues. The stores are even online too (although the PS3 store might close soon). Additionally, Sony isn’t profiting off the PS3 as the servers are free.

Sure they have more money than Nintendo but it is very frustrating that the servers are already going down… hopefully Pretendo will be able to restore functionality.

While I agree copies of the original game are insanely expensive nowadays and not everyone wants to go down the emulation route so it’s nice that people will be able to buy it again at a reasonable price.
