3DS for the Repo.

[bautista_rodriguez]

This post is not thought as a close suggestion but as a thing to consider in a far future, it's something I've been thinking since Vita was added. It's the console of my childhood that I watched on YouTube and wanted but never had along Wii U (I felt something the first time I booted Citra and Cemu in a device that runs them fine), so maybe nostalgia has done some of effect in this case.
Like, we already have PS Vita, games have a kind-of similar size, the official eShop and servers are dead, its emulation is way more developed and mature than of Vita with most of games running practically plug-and-play (the unique I had issues with was E.X. Troopers), and it's very close to be considered retro...I don't think it would be really hard. I guess the unique challenge would be Azahar and the weird file extensions it can read (yeah, I know they're the real console ones).

That's not possible yet because big N is looking closely at the 3ds games and it's too risky!

Yeah, that's why I left clear "a thing to consider in a far future".

Well, who knows, maybe it will soon be possible here too. At least I hope so!

This is more a curiosity but, in terms of security, Wii U would be more safe because the N basically doesn't care anymore, all their relevant games are on Switch and add to that all the other factors that 3DS has. The biggest issue to face would be size, some games are 10+ GB.
In my opinion, would be better to wait and add 3DS first.

Yeah Wii U would be good there were some good games for it. I've already seen a few Wii games here in the R maybe Wii U games are coming soon too!

Pros of adding Wii U: the N doesn't care anymore.
Cons: games can be very big.
Pros of 3DS: games are still kind-of small and there are some interesting translation patches and mods.
Cons: since it's a way more successful console, the N is watching way more than Wii U, so it would be better to wait a bit first.
Still, imagine the day we have BotW and Pokémon USUM.

Yeah, this will be a good day!

While I understand the sentiment (trust me, I put a lot of hours watching people play other consoles I could never have on YouTube myself), that would be an extremely risky undertaking with little-to-no upside.

Maybe in the future, as you said

Who knows, maybe when we add it RA already has the console there.

Yeah, Spike doesn't want any more trouble, so if you want 3DS games, go to Myrient or Vims.

I already have, just want to see a console I feel closer to.

Keep calm
There are to go carefully with the dictatorship Nintendo

 

[bautista_rodriguez]

OK so, if this ever happens, I propose two file types to choose as options, similar to CDI/GDI on Dreamcast:
- CCI and CIA (both any emulator and original hardware).
- ZCCI and ZCIA (Azahar emulator only).

I like how one of them is literally called "CIA", I guess "FBI" was too on-the-nose lol.
