Remastering DS Games for 3DS - Widescreen, Dual Analog & More 

I was actually thinking the same thing, but I think if the 3DS could actually do stereoscopic 3D in original DS games it would be kind of awesome! I mean, you could also take actual 3DS games that never got 3D support and put that back in on the New 3DS XL utilising the higher power.

@@EpicEmberOriginalI still hope someone can hack Minecraft on new 3DS to support it

maybe someone can reverse engineer those M2 ports of sega classics that they converted to 3D

I am one of these five people.

@@ianswift3521 Unfortunately I seem to remember those being ports to 3DS hardware, not emulation or based on a standard DS game or anything like that.

It really is. You can also play DOS games! I don't really know what else I can add to your list other than the plenty of non-gaming apps you can download for QOL.

And while there's still work to do to make the 3DS as capable as the N64 itself, you can also now emulate many N64 games with Daedalus X64 1.0 and they work fairly well (excepting Zelda OOT; there's an issue with water transparency in Zora's Domain making it nearly impossible to get the silver scale). NES download play also works with many of the two-player games. This is as close to a definitive retro gaming archival platform as there is.

I had one during the console's main lifespan but didn't have any money to play games - and CFW was in its infancy. So I shelved it for years til like 2017 and have loved it since. I genuinely think it's Nintendo's best console to this day

You can also emulate ps1 games if you know what you’re doing. It's awesome

@@elyjahkidnotagreed

Fs. Would be great if it actually worked

I would have sold both of those consoles if not for all that cool stuff you can do.

@@seanmcbay Never sell your consoles bro, they're a part of your gaming history. You'd regret it, and I know from experience.

Lets just hope that one day 3DS pokemon rom hacks become as detailed as the GBA ones

@@realthemariogamerexactly bro

@@MarcIsOldies12 Like man, it's so hard to find old consoles at a good price sometimes. I wish I still had a PS3.

Remaster me, daddy

I love it too.

If only they could get it working for DesM and MelonDS. :)

The Mario 64 3DS port is one of the best games I've ever played

Mine is still around somewhere, I remember using it far more often than the dpad in 64DS and Rayman DS

“innovative” lmao sir it was a cloth strap with a piece of plastic attached

@@cashnelson2306 Don't let the simplistic form fool you. It was well engineered for less friction. Nintendo brought consumers analog touchscreen input before any smartphone ever did.

@@oakley2001Every single touchscreen that lets you move your finger or stylus across the screen has analog movement, even those old Palm PDAs that predated the DS by several years. Honestly, I found that wrist strap too cumbersome, I used it a few times on Super Mario 64 DS at launch and never again. As mediocre as D-pad control was, I still preferred it over that wrist strap thing. Still, glad you enjoyed it and got some use out of it!

@@Wheelman2004 Wow, every single touchscreen. That's amazing. I never knew Palm PDA was so well known for 3D gaming. The enlightenment I get from reading the comment section impresses me everyday.

Have you tried injecting one of the gba virtual console games with the original golden sun? Do you know if it runs ok?

​@@Dinosaursofyes it does, i tested it through a vc inject and through open agb firm and it runs perfect, but i only tested the beginning so don't know if it plays all the way through fine, but i don't see why not. Also if you do the vc inject make sure to use the all in one vc injector cause it automatically patches the save type, i had all kinds of problems when using the individual one's for vc injects cause it makes you manually patch the save type, and i was finding the game not saving, open agb firm just saved fine no patching needed.

@@kila5055 awesome! Thanks a million!

I hope the sustained high n3DS prices are a sign more people are out there playing them.

@@seer6961I opted for a n2DS at first because it was cheaper, but then found out that I love that damn invincible brick. The form factor is so nice for my large hands

Man I wish I could have been there! I was just barely in time for kid icarus light vs dark

Does that mean that you can load the games through the home screen like normal then? I'd much rather just be able to jump right into the game than open a second menu. Not sure how the cheats would be enabled though I guess

@@jFar920 I stopped using my 3DS for DS games, but on DSi that's possible. I also didn't like having to open another menu and just installed forwarders directly to my home menu. To change settings and enable cheats, you have to hold a button while launching a game. Maybe there's also something for 3DS, that generates CIAs for you games. Search for "nds-bootstrap forwarders" and you might find something.

@@jFar920 Did you see my answer? It seems to have gotten deleted... If you didn't: On DSi, you definitely can, so 3DS is probably also possible. You can change settings by holding a button while starting the game.

@@seseiSeki Nope, don’t see the original reply, didn’t get a notification until this one. I’ll look into it though, thank you

@@jFar920 Odd... But this one worked, so good luck :D Oh, I forgot to mention that these shortcuts are called forwarders.

Correct, you can select which screen is the "main" screen. I've used this to play Tetris DS with the Tetris game on the top screen.

It did work great, but it also scratched my screen up

Mine never came with that strap.

@@yordansic I think you are actually right on this. The original DS hardware itself did, I think. Not sure about revisions.

​@eqprog a TON of people fail to mention that when bringing up this game. Man, what I wouldn't give to be 15 again and playing my DS for the first time.

The thumb strap destroyed my screen. I wouldn't recommend using it.

yeah, it means that rom hacks of those games will be even better ! tho I still wish for proper ports to the 3ds

Huh? Virtual boy? 😮

It is worth playing ? People say it's bad but I'm new to Metroid (playing samus return rn) and would like to play full 3D games.

@@antonshotpoteita it's very good if you have at least a friend to play it locally. Which requires two 3DS and 2 copies of the game and a bit of annoying menuing. The gameplay is very similar to Metroid Prime, but it's not a map to explore like traditional Metroid games, here it's missions based coop. It's a very fun coop experience and a great way to introduce new players to Metroid. However it's really not representative of what 3D metroid games are. Play Metroid Prime 1 on the switch or GameCube for that. But if you have someone to experience Fed Force it's really a blast. The bad reputation that it has is due to the time it was revealed. E3 2015, the last Metroid game at the time was Metroid other M in 2010 that was already disappointing for the fans. So the last acclaimed Metroid game was 2007 Metroid prime 3. So people were really waiting for a new Metroid game at this point and they released a chibi aesthetic coop game on the 3DS with no mention of a mainline game at all. No one wanted this and they were furious, the reveal trailer got the most dislike to like ratio in the history of RU-vid at the time. (Very impressive) If they were to reveal a teaser for Samus return while presenting this game I think the game would have done better. It's just unfortunate,but the people that played it usually like it

​@antonshotpoteita yes but also no. It just came at a time where metroid wasn't getting any love and instead of a real metroid prime game they got a co-op multiplayer where you don't play as samus.

@@ultraprincesskenny6790 Precisely

@@antonshotpoteita It's awesome in local coop. Not worth it at all solo. Play Metroid Prime if you want to discover 3D metroid but fed force is an awesome little coop game.

I want john to manifest destiny my backside

Jon's voice is like somebody is pouring a cocktail of melted butter and honey into my ears. It's the kind of voice that can turn a straight man gay.

YES PLS. I love that game but dammit it's a wrist killer

I think there already are one for that?
