haha true. Also, i heard that nintendo really upped the security on the ds and their games and they also keep releasing new consoles (dsi, dsixl, 3d)...[/quote]Makes sense I suppose, but I'm pretty sure the main reason for the DSi, DSi XL, etc. is greed on Nintendo's part. <_<- Title: Ds Bootlegs

Nintendo might still manage to lock it out of the DSi/3DS but there's still a huge ass market of people with old DSs out there.
i guess the only reason none have been made is that either no one has the talent, no one has the money or just no one wants to do it.- Title: Ds Bootlegs

Post by: Barver on August 02, 2011, 01:39:15 AM- The more prevalent companies that were making originals still for game consoles were all owned by Gamtec as we recently learned, and as the wiki says no one from those days works at Gamtec anymore. It can probably be assumed once Gamtec switched owners or whatever and become what it is now, everything else that they were a part of (VFame, Sintax, SKOB, everybody really) died out with them.
There probably won't be anymore Gamtecs out there that have investors for original Taiwan produced games, no other companies would bother starting that up again at this rate. What we're left with will just be those plan and play things from the likes of Hummer, with lots of remade FC pirates :x
