How Super Mario 3D Land Saved The 3DS

[@ego2133]

Mario Kart 7 also saved the 3DS, which is funny considering these 2 games released almost at the same time.

[@javierortiz82]

Yeah, 2012 was the year the 3DS both shut a lot of mouths and killed the Vita as soon as pokemon XY was released, it didn't even stand a chance. You're forgetting about Kid Icarus Uprising, that was a damn good game.

I genuinely prefer the intense 3d. It hurts your eyes you say? There is a reason why the 3d option is on a slider. It's called put it on low.

[@p_yoshi]

genius

[@cutecommie]

For real. It's so intuitive and people still treat it like an on-off switch.

[@p_yoshi]

I actually just tried that and I didn't get dizzy

[@anunheardtruth3071]

The problem for me wasn't the intense 3D but the crosstalk/ghosting of the display in high-contrast scenes. Unlike what this video implies, it wasn't just due to not viewing at the right angle, but the fact that Nintendo used lower-quality LCD panels. For Ocarina of Time 3D it was extremely disorienting in the dark dungeon scenes and I typically played the game with the slider about 1/3 up. 3D Land had an option to increase the depth of the 3D, but while there was some more LCD ghosting, it wasn't as distracting and typically occurs in the background. The New 3DS addressed this problem to some extent but crosstalk is still noticeable at times. Sure, they needed some cost-cutting measures, but it's a real shame because I remember how hyped up the DS Lite's brightly-lit, high-viewing angle screen was.

[@bENOFFICIALMASSIVE]

I don't have a 3DS but I played it on my WiiU the other day and pretty impressed!

[@thesamuraispirit7686]

Wow. I remember back when i was a kid in 2011, i was really mad at nintendo bcuz i just bought the dsixl from the first model grey DS and they dropped the DS like an anchor lol. I remember the 3ds wasnt doing too well sales wise. I wanted it but my parents just bought the dsixl so i was out of luck. So i was happy when the 3ds and wiiu started to cause problems for Nintendo. Once Super Mario 3D Land came out however, I started to see things differently. The 3ds unlike the wiiu recovered. I eventually matured and didnt want Nintendo to fail bcuz i grew up with Nintendo. At this point, 7 years later, the only reason i would buy a 3ds is to play ocarina of time, majoras mask 3d and super mario 3d land. Im banking on Nintendo releasing those games for switch since the 3ds is slowing down and release it just like they did for the ds games on wiiu

[@SP_Sour]

Am I the only one who genuinely loves the 3D effect and always has?? It blew my mind when it first came out, and to this day it's pretty disappointing when a 3DS game I want comes out with no 3D. (Looking at you, Sun and Moon.)

[@wahhajmustafa1907]

A cool fact is that Sun and Moon actually has 3D when you take pictures of Pokémon(check it out)

[@SP_Sour]

@@wahhajmustafa1907 I noticed! I'm glad that they at least kept it in for that feature, but I still found it annoying how even the first 3DS Pokemon games, X & Y, featured pretty consistent 3D, yet Sun and Moon dropped it from everywhere except that one minigame. Better than nothing, though.

[@moonman4307]

Sun and moons framerate was already really unstable, if they enabled 3d im sure the frame rate would be in the single digits, so im sure they just didnt bother with it because no one would want to play a game running at 5 fps

[@Yoshikage8008]

Kirbys epic yarn in 2019 is being playable in 2D only. It's fucking stupid. Nintendo needs to drop the 2D only shit on thier games. It's annoying. I'm skipping Kirbys Extra Epic Yarn because it has no 3D.

[@booski1865]

I think the 3D effect was done really well in most of Nintendo's first party games--3D Land, link between worlds, and especially Samus returns.

[@Jragostea]

I think out of all the consoles I’ve played, the 3ds will always be the most memorable. Seeing other people playing games that I owned was such a great experience. 3D land was the first game I ever 100% completed and seeing those 5 stars on my save file was so satisfying. Part of me is happy knowing that people can still have these experiences due to the 3Ds still being alive.

[@607]

Jrago I wonder what consoles you have played extensively. Personally, I've only played the 3DS a handful of times, though, so I certainly can't argue. ;)

[@Jragostea]

607 Tbh the only other console I remember playing extensively was my Dsi and that was mainly due to Pokémon. I had other consoles but they were only played on short sessions. The only other console that comes close to giving the same experience is the switch.

That brief mention of Freakyforms got me thinking about how there's barely any extensive or critical coverage of it online.

Can talk about the fact that the 3DS has games that came from the N64, GameCube, Wii, WiiU, GBA and all other Virtual Consoles. The 3DS definitely is the best Nintendo Experience I’ve had in a while

It only had a few virtual console systems on it. No gamecube,wii,N64 or Wii U.

[@ask343]

LuminaryEm yeah uh where the hell you got that info from?

[@SP_Sour]

This isn't entirely true. The 3DS supports: -NES VC -GB\GBC VC -Game Gear VC Special cases: -20 GBA games for Ambassadors -SNES VC supported only by N3DS line _Ports_ of games from other systems: -N64 (Legend of Zelda OoT\MM, Star Fox) -GameCube (Luigi's Mansion rerelease) -Wii (DKC Returns) -Wii U (Super Mario Maker, Captain Toad) -Sega Genesis (3D series) Simultaneous release with other systems: -Wii U (Sm4sh) -Wii (LEGO games...?) I guess you could say it has "games from" these consoles then, but "all other Virtual Consoles" is misleading.

[@zetaman8924]

Logan Bitter I wouldn’t call the 3D genesis games ports since they’re emulated

[@SP_Sour]

@@zetaman8924 Ok, but not _exactly._ You can Spin Dash in Sonic 1(unlike originally), and the 3D effect was definitely not present in the originals. I consider them ports for those reasons. They're kind of between the VC games and the 3D Classics games in this way, so I guess the argument can be made for either.

[@JustJory]

There is 1 thing the 3ds needs to change the resolution. 800 X 240 was too low or if your confused its 400 X 240 for the top screen and 320 X 240 for the bottom screen

3D land is my go-to pick up and play game without a doubt, I never get sick of it!

[@misterzygarde6431]

Friendly reminder that the best selling PS1 game couldn’t outsell Super Mario 64

[@StuCupid]

To be fair, the ps1 has more choice when it comes to software titles so it'd be harder to have a higher best seller

[@ki_charger]

Playstation 1 destroyed the n64. N64 couldn't even get ff7. And btw Crash shits on mario.

[@ChrisStoneinator]

@@ki_charger FF7 is overrated, and Crash has aged better than SM64 but it was nowhere near as revolutionary. It's just a traditional platformer with 2D-esque level designs where you walk forward instead. Mario 64 actually made use of 3D space so was way more exciting at the time. Nowadays I'd rather play Crash but in the context of the late 90s it's clear which game shits on which.

[@HyperSonic777]

If you press L, R, and Start in Super Mario 3D Land, you can reboot the game, which is pretty useful for deathless runs. If you complete the game without dying, you get shining stars instead of of stars that don’t shine.

[@p_yoshi]

Works in SM64DS too

[@docmarion8902]

The 3ds was a huge failure at it’s launch due to the price

[@MarcoGamer640Productions2012]

I remember when the original 3ds came out. I got mine in June of 2011, I entered 5th grade playing it every day. Now I’m a senior in high school soon to graduate.

[@darkviking7135]

Freakyfroms was the best

[@destho4308]

This was an enjoyable, informative perspective of a title staying true to it's form. 3D Land is a key example of a simple, direct, and effective video game contribution for entertainment value. Plus that Bowser (reappearing) last battle is just dang memorable.

[@MapleSyrup666]

I never found the appeal of Super Mario 3D Land. It was easy and slow to death by boredom. Actually, for me the 3DS was exactly the contrary of the DS. By that, I mean that on the DS, I loved every game series but Pokémon and Zelda. While on the 3DS, I hated everything except Pokémon and Zelda.

[@SeriousStriker]

Did you not enjoy Smash Bros 4?

[@MapleSyrup666]

Barely, to be quite honest. A few times playing it broke my circle pad and I had to manually replace it. Needless to say, it's not my definition of "enjoyment". Smash 4 was much better on Wii U when compared to 3DS, but Smash 4 is far from being my favorite in the serie overall. If I'd have to rank Smash games... this would be my list: 3DS > Wii U => Brawl > N64 > Melee

[@lordofhostsappreciator3075]

Damn lmao.

[@lordofhostsappreciator3075]

The DS Pokémon games are better tho.

[@Feurigel1806]

Did you enjoy Kirby on the 3DS? (Also how can you not enjoy the Pokemon Games on the DS, I mean Heathgold/Soulsilver are awesome and the Mystery Dungon games are so good. Ok it's your opinion but how? XD)

[@theGnostic-]

Don’t you dare insult Freakyforms. I remember spending soooo much time on Freakyforms Deluxe. It’s way more fun than you’d expect. I’d actually want a new game for the Switch, if they added more content and made it more suitable for older people, and polished it a bit, but kept the weird aesthetic. Maybe I’m just weird for liking it though

[@emmbeesea]

Paper Mario: Sticker Star- Yeah, no, let's skip over that one.

[@cutiefriendsadventures7129]

Emm Bee Sea No Paper Mario game revolutionised the consoles they were originally in unlike what Super Mario 3D Land did with the 3DS.

That's a Central European accent, man.

[@NukeOTron]

Actually, after playing Pilotwings Resort, I noticed something interesting: you can look past the player. This is actually a useful effect to help the player see where they're going. Other highlights on the 3DS include A Link Between Worlds, Ever Oasis, and that one game with the Noble Haltmann.

[@smmemperorlucifer2]

As someone who uses Nvidia 3d Vision to play a bunch of pc games in stereoscopic 3d, I can definitely attest to convergence issues inherit in the game's design to be a major make-or-break point for whether the game'll look amazing in 3d or jarring/distracting. Games that have a fixed camera depth from your character or a fixed camera in general work a lot better, where compromises have to be made otherwise. On the other hand, setting a higher convergence point (further into the image) can cause some really cool pop-out effects.

[@chungman6167]

I remembered freakyforms for being a wacky game I played a lot... But now I remember Freakyforms for its deluxe version, and it’s usage to mod the 3DS lol.

[@BitterLime1]

Pokemon has carried every Nintendo handheld since to the Gameboy, and it is the same for the 3ds.

[@o1aa3hjuqe]

I didn't know about the rolling long jump until the last level after 100% beating the game...

Great video, well represented of what happened at the time for the 3DS. I actually bought Urban Champion because I was so anxious to actually play a 3D game. 3D Land was my 1st true 3DS game while I mainly used my 3DS to play DS games. I will say what truly saved the 3DS was the price drop. 3D Land and MK7 kept it's head above water. Pokemon X and Y made sure that the 3DS was never in danger again.

[@AJMegaScizor]

4:32 Yes it was one of my first few 3ds games.

[@ArtAngelMouse]

The 3D in the 3DS is amazing and I miss it. I never had issues with the 3D. My first 3DS game was Super Mario 3D Land. I got Rayman 3D and turned the slider down, easy fix for the intense 3D. Also Sticker Star is underrated and its tiring to hear people take a jab at it everytime it gets mentioned.

[@sajivg3117]

The fact that smash runs at 60fps on my 2011 3ds is still mind blowing

[@brewHamm]

4:32 *when a deluxe version of a game is so bad it lets you hack your 3ds*

[@tkc1129]

With Mario 3D World, Nintendo finally realized that 3DS games don't have to be like looking at a whole world, but rather, looking at a diorama is much better, and fits the system.

[@HarrisBoe]

When I heard that Nintendo was developing something called a “3DS” my first reaction was “oh, because two screens weren’t enough for them?”
