3DS: Deleting save data on games w/o a data reset function.
wiggy:
Dude, that's annoying! I had no idea that they'd done shit like that :-\
Love your workaround though ;)
palmer6strings:
When all else fails, do what it tells you not to do and fuck shit up! ;D
wiggy:
I support that notion :)
JDavis:
Alas, not only a DS/3DS problem. I've also run into this with DBZ Supersonic Warriors for GBA. :-\

I've been on hold with activision a support line for 10 minutes now and every time the computer says how long I've got to wait the time keeps getting longer. I'm now at 40 minutes of wait time...
:EDIT:
Ok just in case this ever helps anyone, I was on the phone for 52 minutes waiting for an answer...
Come to find out there is no legitimate way to erase the save data on this game.
Seriously? :-\
The guy on the phone sent me an email showing me how to delete data off my system.
(I already knew this wasn't going to work, but I said ok and just got the phone all over with.)
Meanwhile since the info he sent me was soon proven not to work, just like I thought it wouldn't, I figured out a way to delete the save data!
While playing the game I waited till I saw it was saving and just ejected the game card from the system.
On the 3rd attempt it successfully deleted the save data and I am now able to play the game from the start.
From my understanding, there are a few games on the 3DS (Resident Evil: Mercenaries) and maybe the DS that doesn't have this function which is really freaking stupid.
Anyway, this is not suggested as it could be harmful to "whatever", but it does work and just thought I would let others know too.

Um, I'm surprised no one said this before?? What game are we talking about? I know it's something from Activision. Also RE Mercenaries.
What about a flash card device? Do they have ones that can manage save games or write directly to a blank card? Or is everything done via SD card these days? If SD, how does one back up the games to start with?
