It has recently been reported that a couple of hackers have broken into the 3DS, allowing them to run custom code on the device. They claim their motives are good — getting around the 3DS region lock for example — however games developers, as you can imagine, are less than pleased with the news.
In a recent blog post Jools Watsham, co-founder of Renegade Kid, the developer behind the hit 3DS eShop title Mutant Mudds, claimed that illegally delving into the guts of the 3DS opens up the door to piracy — something that could damage the industry and support for Nintendo's handheld.

Welcome to Heroes of Handheld 150! A new Minecraft Minigame comes along! September PS Plus announced! Banner Saga still happening, HONEST!.
I would buy Banner Saga, if it releases on Vita. We'll see whether or not they want my money, ultimately.
Development studio Renegade Kid is shutting down after its two co-founders have decided to go their separate ways. They will both continue to develop games.
Very sad news, because they made some great games. I do have to wonder though if the closing has anything to do with them not making many games for systems other than Nintendo ones. Because sadly not many people have been buying games on Nintendo one recently.
all hackers claim that their motive is "good", but we all know the real reason behind hacking these devices...
this well just sell a lot more 3ds' and the average kids mom well still buy all the games and such ect same like the 1st ds blah blah
Who cares? Is Renegade Kid a stockholder?
Inb4 the more pirating the less devs
Because the DS wasn't profitable due to 0.1% of users pirating
It's why Wii and psp console sales are so good, so many people buy the consoles and pirate games
they can do whatever they want with their 3ds`s, they paid for it. I`m still going to support good devs. Even more, Maybe I'll be able to support other country`s devs (mainly thinking about japanese devs)
