The Best Remasters Stuck on Nintendo 3DS 

Thanks to everyone for the support and encouraging comments on this video. Love you all almost as much as gyro controls. Almost.

can you imagine stealthily getting taken down by a dude in luigi camouflage

I love how every time Majora's Mask 3D is mentioned in a video today, it has become an obligation for the video uploader to reference Nerrel either explicitly or (in this case) implicitly

honestly once you get used to 20fps in mgs3d it is arguably the best playing version of the game and my personal favorite way of playing it

Not a complain, just a clarification. Luigi's mansion Hidden mansion rework isn't an exclusive of the 3ds remaster, but it's actually from the original PAL version. While the game got released on November 2001 in the US, it got realease WAY later in the EU (May 2002), probably due to a rework of the hidden mansion to make it an actual New Game+. Great video btw, really enjoyed it!

FYI, Project Restoration is a mod for Majora's Mask that patches and undo's a lot of changes made to the 3D port, bringing it more inline with the N64 release, while keeping what made the 3DS release good.

I laughed hysterically at the rupee snipe LOL

this video is really well made. great job!

rust lord with a buster sword talking about nintendo games is certainly not what i thought i needed today, but i'll take it

Ever since the discovery of the uncompressed star fox 64 dialog audio. There has been a mod that replaces the inferior voice acting with those original uncompressed versions.

Based for highlighting gyro aiming. subbed

I wouldn't say "stuck on the nintendo 3ds", I would say "available to play on the nintendo 3ds"

Awesome video AND Ultrakill ost :)

This video was so good I thought you had at least 10k subs, keep it up!

Interesting topic and really well-made video - awesome stuff!

I love you using Rust Lord as your avatar hehe

Awesome video was nice seeing appreciation for these remakes. 2 games I played somewhat recently for 3DS that were from other consoles but not developed by Nintendo; Soul Hackers (originally a Japan only Sega Saturn title I believe) has so many quality of life feature including a good amount of voice acting. Dragon Quest 8 being the other one whilst the game isn't as good looking as the 2004 PS2 release it got upgraded to have full voice acting, 2 new party members, fast forwarding, a better save system imo and a whole new ending. So glad to see appreciation for this system heres hoping we see all these versions of games in the future in some form on other systems. All the best.

Seeing how much effort went into the 3ds version of Luigis mansion made me annoyed how lm2 hd is just that, lm2 but upscaled 🗿

you are underated as hell you will for sure get to 10k subs in no time

Really cool video. Underrated channel

Underrated channel u earned a sub

Hey man, you made me watch the whole video but I have to say it is well made and good selection of games.

Amazing video, i really like how yo edit :) I recently got back my 3ds and tlozmm, mk7 and dk3d are bangers!

Im regards to MGS 3DS, the improvements go further, starting with graphics, all of the character models got updated and added a normal map to add level of detail that the original didn’t had, while the map did get a bit nerfed in the level of detail in the foliage. In the gameplay department is where it gets crazy compare to the original, first of all, yes, you get crouch walking, but also, third person aiming, the ability to walk an shoot WHILE aiming (this wasn’t implemented until MGS 4) visual feedback when shooting, gyro aim, and if you felt that aiming with the face buttons like in peace walker felt weird, support for dual analog add on. Playing this Ver. and then coming back to the original just feels wrong gameplay wise. As a final note, this Version feels more easy than the original, just because this control changes make the game snappier and intuitive compared to the OG version or the HD one. The only thing that ruined this port to be better remember is the frame rate, is terrible, let’s not lie to ourselves here.

Great video, your channel is so underrated, I watched this from start to finish, and I've gotta say that I agree with all of your picks

Here before you blow up. Great quality video with an interesting topic. I have a few more games to add to my list.

Loved this video and your style dude! You are entertaining!

Can't wait for you to reach 1000 subs!

I'm so jealous that you can just play starfox for the first time right now.

Nice video man

The MGS3 remake is funny because the OOT-tier framecap comes from it being built in the Peace Walker engine. Of course, that only makes it worse argubly because having performance issues in a game that targets PSP on as low as 20 FPS is...not great. Also, MM3D really needed that original-mode from Starfox 3D, even if it (sadly) would have disabled Gyro. It is a good release, but it isn't really any better than the original overall. Some say that having a diffrent, equally as good experience is actually better, but...man, I really would have liked it to just be the definitive version instead.

OoT 3D is such a spectacular game.

Dope video!😊

Great video!

Oh boy do I have a DKCR news for you

Snake eater 3ds was the first time I played snake eater so I’ll have a soft spot and crouch walking is best reason why I will defend it. Plus the photo camos you can make are busted.

Great idea bro you should do another videos for other handhelds that have remasters and remakes stuck on them like NDS / PSP / PSVITA for example mario 64 DS or muramasa rebirth

in my heart of hearts I know oot3d is the superior version but the original's art style is one of my favorites in the history of the medium. good thing majora's mask doesn't have that problem :')

I know the compression was a part of the system limitations of the time but it made sense for the voices because if you think of how your voice sounds going through a walkie-talkie two-way radio it's not going to sound studio crystal clear like it would be recorded over an sm58 so yeah that kind of knocked a bit on the charm of Star Fox 64 remastered

Banger video bestie

Ngl before looking at the sub count i thought u had over 50k subscribers just from the quality of the video. Keep up the good work!

Luigi’s Mansion 1 deserves to be on the Switch!

Amazing work on this video, I thought you'd have a few thousand subs by the quality of it but i went to click subscribe and you only had around 600. Keep up the good work!

Despite the poor framerate I still like Metal Gear Solid 3D due to the crouch walking , the 3D effect and you can create your own cammo by taking photos .

09:05 Forgot to mention over-the-shoulder aiming that's still exclusive to the 3DS, even counting mods for the PC version of the Master Collection. If/once that gets ported over/remade for the Master Collection, that would be the definitive edition of MGS3.

Lets see: 1-I tried DK 3D but it was hard af, so I wanted to save it to play with someone 2-Loogis mansion is a game I still have to play 3-Starfox was awesome…on N64, i havent played it on 3DS, so my only memories are trying to play Starfox on wii virtual console and repeatedly losing on the lava planet 4-Xenoblade was awesome after but AFAIIK it didnt change much 5-MGS is a series I havent played, but I do have a lot of memories of playing the MGS3 3D demo many MANY times

if/when they do remaster ocarina of time, they should not only fix the lighting, but something ive never seen anyone mention; the timing. certain cutscenes and animations in the game play either too slow or too quickly. for instance, link's walk animation is too sluggish. however, the lack of lag in the 3ds version wasn't taken into account when it came to cutscenes, so the part where ganondorf transforms into ganon at the end loses a lot of it's impact not just because of the lighting, but because it plays too quickly. you're not given enough time to be impacted as much by his transformation. they just need to slow the animation down and darken the lighting

4:44 : sounds like Bently from Sly Cooper 4:50 : sounds like the "Breaking News" fish from spongebob I like the remaster voice more tho

I love this video, it’s so true and it’s all exactly my thoughts for these remaster! I went to go to sub and noticed only a little bit above 600 subs. i’m shocked i can tell you took time with these games and videos. you earned a sub and a like!❤

Nintendo loves making the best version of their games with like 1 or 2 major downsides like a cut feature or reduced frame rate and low resolution. Amazing video man! Loved it!

But the 3ds is way more convenient as a portable. I only use my switch on the dock

Fantastic vid bro

great vid bro!

I’m your 437th subscriber! Just writing this down so I can read this back when you pass 100.000 subs

11:07 bit fucking killed me, great vid!

Y'know what would be really funny? If they remastered SM64DS to the switch 2 (I think it was rumored to have 2 screens? I'm not all too sure) and then just extended the name even more

MGS3D has stat tracking which is a really useful feature for replay-value and saves your titles that you earned throughout your different playthroughs

I have all these games on my steam deck and they run smoother than silk

Great content! Earned a sub chad

bro im ngl rust lord with the buster sword might be the hardest youtube avatar i’ve ever seen

Great video! Metal Gear Solid 3 not only added crouch walking, it also added a third-person aiming camera that can move WHILE SHOOTING, making the game work like a modern TPS.

Great video, got my sub.

while it’s a remake and not a remaster, I hope that fire emblem echoes makes its way to the switch or next console. It’s my favorite fire emblem game for sure

My phone can fix the slowdown in the NES original Kirby's Adventure with the virtual overclocking feature the RetroArch core I use has. I wish Nintendo implemented that in the NSO NES emulator.

Praise emulation cause we can play these amazing remasters with better resolutions and controls

the fact we are saying "stuck games on the 3DS" already, like wow... fire emblem awakening remake pls

The Hidden Mansion in Luigi's Mansion on 3DS is actually a lot more like the PAL (European) Gamecube version's Hidden Mansion...except in the PAL Gamecube version, it was flipped, much like Mario Kart Mirror Mode. Not to mention they just changed around a couple other things like Mario's item locations in the 3DS remake's Hidden Mansion for whatever reason. Also I feel like with Starfox 64 3D, the voice lines just don't quite hit as well as N64 not because of the compression of 64, but just because it's how the original voice actors delivered their lines. There are uncompressed voice lines from 64 floating around the internet, and they just put up some iconic performances, but it seems like the 3D voice actors weren't trying nearly as hard.

Can't wait for dk to arrive on switch in January

I can't answer whether or not MM3D was a bad remake, but the recently released Majora's Mask Recompilation on PC is definitely incredible.

You young whipper snappers don't know how good you've got it 😂

The 3ds has the most recent rerelease of Tales of The Abyss, and also some notable Atlus game are also stuck in there like Soul Hackers, Radiant Historia, the Devil Survivor games (granted Devil survivor and Radiant Historia were originally OG DS games).

I would love to see radiant historia put on the switch it's such a cool rpg with a great concept and very fun, It deserves more attention

2 niche “remasters” so to speak that are also stuck on 3ds are Korg M01D and Korg DSN-12, not sure if anyone played around with these but they were 3ds eshop exclusive Korg modules for music production and they’re pretty neat, there is a Korg gadget on the switch but it’s not the same as DSN-12 or M01D

Snake Eater 3D is by far my favourite version. Yes the FPS is rough, but not as bad on New 3DS models. And the best part about it isn't just crouch walking but also Peace Walker's gunplay.

Fun fact the original Starfox 64 HD audio files got leaked a while ago and its even than the 3DS rerecordings

only finding this out recently after trying mgs collection on ps5 was CRAZY , i literally had only played snake eater 3d growing up 😭 9:21

I think the solution to get 3D Classics Kirby's Dreamland on Switch/whatever comes after the switch is to have Akira make a bunch of other NES game ports and then bundle them all together with the existing 3D classics as one big collection cartridge.

If it wasn't mentioned already, the latest Nintendo direct announced DKC Returns HD coming for Switch.

Oot and mm are decompiled (n64) and you can emulate them with mods turning it into a 60+ fps experience with good visuals

great vid!

Commenting to get your videos in algorithm and get to to 1k!!

The examples you've provided for Luigi's Mansion on 3DS, is exactly why the game should have been on Switch, instead of a dying system that didn't have a proper right thumb stick or the visuals to justify it as a remaster. It would probably play better in emulation, depending on the compatibility.

this is the quality content i'm here for

Good news for you Donkey and Legend of zelda oot and mm 3d fans you can get them pretty cheap online atleast in my experience

Despite how much of a mixed bag the 3DS version of Luigi's Mansion was, I really liked that version

2:29

I liked Wii Motion controls. Not always necessary but they were fun when they were around.

Regarding Majoras 3D, its worth ONLY if you download "Project Restoration" Patch. It fixes 90% of the sh*tty decisions Nintendo made to the remake. If not, use emulator. On Luigi Mansion 3D, I would say is worth it but has some downsides and bad details you didnt mention

You missed the absolute worst offender, Dragon Quest 8

This dude is so fricken underrated.

hey good vid man

The 3D Classics Kirbys Adventure is the best way to play that game in my opinion, it runs way more smoothly and with less bugs than the original, even if you use an emulator.

We need this again but for the Wii U

Honestly, I can't say I mind very much if these stay on 3DS. I have a modded New 3DS XL, and I'm proud to pull it out in public even if it's outdated, so I don't need these on Switch

Oot 3D is a remake.

That neck snap meme 🤣

Honestly, on a “new” 3ds console, these games look actually pretty good. Especially donkey Kong

Dragon Quest 8 is not on the list :/

Luigi's mansion slander! you have gyro controls on it!. good video.

Its a shame Majora's mask remake is stuck on there. I'm sure as hell not playing the n64 version.
