I love whenever Scott shows off the Mario Maker 2DS, like he’s trying to get value out of it

[@jarrettbellboy]

As a 2DS owner myself I’m very familiar with the self-gaslighting necessary to convince myself to use it over any other handheld

In reality - there was a lot of folks who had a 3DS but did not a Wii U. Everyone knows that, and I'm a worthless bastard for saying this though, and will probably be humiliated by somebody below me for even uttering this.

I love how according to Nintendo Hyrule Warriors could work on the original 3DS, but not Super Nintendo games.

[@christiangomez2496]

How? Oh, It's Nintendo we're talking about.

[@brianlefko4404]

And definitely not GBA, what are you crazy?

[@Mimi.1001]

To be fair, emulating games (and their respective Systems + OS) accurately does take quite a lot of power compared to a straight port made for that console (even if it's a demanding game like Hyrule Warriors). Not that Super Nintendo games would be much of a challenge for 3DS hardware, but the system could struggle with DS games for example if it wasn't backwards compatible and didn't have the DS-CPU built in just for that.

[@JubertMathias]

​@@brianlefko4404the audacity to even say that but to also give 10 free GBA titles to anybody who bought the system before the price cut 😭😭😭

[@christiangomez2496]

@@JubertMathias The problem with GBA on 3ds is that it runs natively. Which while it's good for performance and compatibility, doesn't allow for features like suspend, restore points (save states), and extra goodies that most VC titles have. Though there is a software emulator for GBA that's unused likely due to awful, sluggish performace.

[@Nerdtendo6366]

As a WiiU and a 3DS owner, the 3DS kinda felt like a weird twisted portable WiiU. Tons of games that are similar to WiiU games or just straight up ported games. Just kinda makes the WiiU feel less like a joke, and more like a clown

[@PikaLink91]

To be fair I always favored my 3DS over my Wii U and had far more games for the former than the latter, so to take the few good games the Wii U had and put them on the system I was more fond of was a win win for me.

[@weirdtuberjournalism9757]

Tbf, they were going to do cross buying on wiiu and 3ds, where when you buy a game on the wiiu, then you'll be able to download them for free on 3ds, like they did with minis March again wiiu (to which you'd receive a free copy for the 3ds).

[@towndarling1618]

@@weirdtuberjournalism9757 it was tipping stars, not minis march again. and that was a one time thing, they had no intentions of making cross buy the norm. if they did intend to do cross buy a regular thing, they would’ve done it with the virtual console, which they were vehemently against.

The Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney Trilogy (apart from Rise from the Ashes) are technically GBA games and the actual DS entries like Apollo Justice didn't release on Wii for some reason, but yeah I would love for him to talk about Ace Attorney.

Never forget the Skylanders games on 3DS which were their own unique platformer fighters like Crash/Spyro. Very underrated and a cool little side adventure to the console versions.

[@alex_-yz9to]

they also had to get arround the fact that you cant just lug arround a portal on 3ds unlike Disney infinity 3ds

I felt that the 3d effect wasn’t nearly as good as other games on the 3ds. Still enjoyed it though

[@therunawaykid6523]

Yeah the glasses free 3d on the 3ds still amazes me today so clever how it tricks your eyes into think you are looking at a 3d image remember it worked pretty good on Lego city undercover the chase begins where if you climbed a high tower of building the image really stood out from the screen - will always remember the first time I tried a 3ds with the 3d feature to me one of the most revolutionary features I’ve seen in a console

[@MARCSEIDis]

Here's a weird one that technically doesnt count: around 2013(?) Hideki Kamiya said that he wanted to make a Bayonetta spin off on 3DS starring Jeanne. Obviously it never came to fruition, but in Bayo 3 there's those weird Jeanne missions that seem exactly like what he envisioned

Scott doesn't know the torture of only having a 3DS to play Hyrule Warriors... And by torture, I actually mean pure joy because Hyrule Warriors actually plays great for the system. I say that 100% unironically

Whenever I look back on the Wii U era I’m reminded just how little I actually played it in comparison to the 3DS, which is surprising because I was deep in denial over the Wii U’s place in the market. Makes me wish I swallowed my pride and gave the PS4 a shot sooner.

[@bananachild1936]

Captain Toad is no joke, genuinely one of the most graphically and technically impressive 3DS games I've ever come across. Just "one of" that is. Because I think the "graphically" and "technically" most impressive titles on the 3DS still belongs to the slew of Capcom games on the tiny system. Kid Icarus Uprising also still looks pretty damn impressive _but Nintendo apparently has dementia about this game ever existing._

[@TheGhostThatWas]

I got Mario Maker 3ds the day it released, and literally returned it the same day when I found out I couldn't use online features. It felt like a waste of time to build anything on it

[@supersomethinstudio]

Poochy and yoshis wooly world is an incredible game for kids. I had the wii u game and got a young family member the 3ds game. They loved every single feature, that i didn't even know that version had! Crafting custom yoshis, letting them use my amiibo for the costumes, playing the poochy levels, and watching the yarn yoshi skits that were included. It kept them entertained for months and me too a bit when they asked for a little help. Absolutely the definitive version for kids, for adults, the extras obviously wont do much for you but it does give you portability, so its just preference at that point

[@stevengc125]

I'm sad they put the port of Woolly World on 3DS instead of Switch. Poochy and Yoshi's Wooly World could have helped the Switch's launch lineup which really had no standouts besides Zelda. Unless they make another port you have to choose between graphics and content.

[@SnipeMD]

To this day, I still feel like they should have ported _Star Fox Zero_ to the 3DS. The wonky control scheme could've easily been solved entirely through the 3DS' features. The top screen could be the standard third-person view for the ship while the bottom screen would emulate the first-person view from the Wii-U gamepad, and if you wanted to keep the motion controls intact aiming could be handled through the 3DS' gyro controls. It was honestly a missed opportunity and it's unfortunate that Zero has been left to languish on the Wii-U for almost a decade now.

[@GamingG4276]

I know this is a different thing, but I would also like too mention 3DS that should get Switch ports. Many fans think it would be sad if some of the best 3DS games would just die and be forgotten with the 3DS. Some games that fans really want include: A Link between worlds, Kid Icarus Uprising, the 3D remakes of the Zelda N64 games, and many more. This could also make for interesting video in the future.

(because I don't have a Wii U) I joined the Team 0% discord server only to be immediately be told that clearing a level on 3DS doesn't translate to a clear on Wii U I left wishing telling the dude who broke the news to me that I'd be cheering from afar

[@unfrogettable9495]

Really thought there would of been a section about Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate being on both Wii U and 3DS and having the ability to play between both systems.
