Still cannot believe Nintendo missed the opportunity to finally rerelease Virtual Boy games on a system that has a 3D option…
Homebrew community's got your back
As a nerd it would have been cool to see a virtual boy collection, however from Nintendo’s perspective I can see how it’s a bad idea to rerelease games from a completely flopped system.
And before anyone mentions Wii U games on the switch, the Wii U still did a lot better than the virtual boy.
@@TimDespairBear11if you hack your 3ds you can play every virtual boy game in 3d using Red Viper. Homebrew does what Nintendon’t
though you can play it now on modded 3ds and its frigging amazing
There's a lot that would have had to go into developing a Virtual Boy emulator that felt intuitive to use and worth a premium price. I just don't think bleeding-money Wii U era Nintendo saw the R&D costs as being worth the potential return on investment. It would have been cool, but definitely niche.
Something that’s so cool to see is the little mini recreations of each cartridge and console on the 3DS. That’s a level of love and care that the Switch is missing for online.
1:39
Another reason why Nintendo implemented that feature: some NES games, such as Legend of Zelda, used a button combination on the player 2 controller to allow the player to save their progress (without dying in-game)
He also failed to mention that all of the 2-player NES VC titles supported Download Play. Unfortunately, the SNES titles did not, which was a _huge_ disappointment for me.
@@WhiskeyNixon I believe only a few games that have 2 player can download play. not so much
@@WhiskeyNixon it's actually fine to not mention irrelevant details. time is money. chop chop!
@@sam_bibly not when you are making a informative video, and this guy yap so much irrelevant opinions and uninteresting stuff that you can cut his videos in half (that is why i just go jumping in his videos to see the games), he just don't know about it, that is why he didn't mention it
@@Stravioska if you admit that you don't watch the videos because you don't like what they cover why should we care what you think should be in them
The DS included the GBA CPU core as a co-processor, which DS games could use. So the 3DS to support the DS had to include something that could run the GBA core. The ARM9 core the 3DS had could run in ARM7 mode to support the GBA CPU (for GBA or DS support). The GBA (minus the micro) included a Sharp SM83 CPU in the SOC to support GB/GBC (GBC was just a higher clocked version of the GB CPU)
Some of these set ups might need some extra glue logic, but the CPU core were obviously the biggest hurdle to supporting them :P
The 3DS has all of these CPU cores except for the SM83 core (which is absent from the DS as well). Nintendo designed an AGB firm for running Game Boy Advance software on the 3DS. Nintendo literally slept on native GBA backwards compatibility on 3DS. They also slept on native GameCube support on Wii U, but that's a different story.
@@kitterbug I can't believe both Nintendo's main consoles in the mid 2010's technically had backwards compatibility for systems going 3 generations back. Perhaps if they had enabled those features, they would have made more profit. But nah, it's probably better for marketing to not mention the 3DS can natively play every single Nintendo handheld, or enable mini-dvd's on the Wii-U
@pizzagroom6221 the wii u could not read mini-discs, as far as I'm aware. this is because the laser disc reader was a bluray disc reader. but the hardware is there to run GameCube games.
essentially, a wii is a GameCube with faster CPU and GPU. a Wii U is a Wii with faster CPU and GPU and three GPU cores. when WiiU boots into vWii mode, it underclocks itself and becomes a Wii. when Wii boots into Gamecube mode, it underclocks itself and becomes a Gamecube. they could have easily let Gamecube games run through a digital storefront (natively), but chose not to.
Part of the reason behind this is that they would need to include some hardware or software to bridge the gap between a GameCube controller and the WiiU, since the Wii had Gamecube ports. notably neither the wii nor wii u has analog triggers on any controllers. USB loaders will let you load Gamecube games natively on WiiU, but there is still no homebrew solution for analog triggers.
@@nicholasmitchell6025didn't the Wii u get the GameCube controller adapter for Smash Bros though?
running arm7 on arm9 is not a taskless endeavor, the instructions are fully compatible. its the main reason why the dsi to this day still struggles to even launch gba games. the ds got it for free, the dsi and 3ds would not have
what the 3ds is doing with gba games is essentially making them ds games
Fun fact: Miyamoto originally planned to make a 3D classics style port of a link to the past, but Aonuma didn't think it sounded interesting or new enough, and the project eventually became link between worlds
3DS is to this day the only console that can play every mainline Dragon Quest. Yes, even 11.
11 was on 3ds first actually.
Too bad some aren't in English.
@@Vulpas there are fan translations :)
It can’t play every VERSION of Dragon Quest, that being 11 S, still I do have every DQ on it…
wish someone would translate DQ11 on 3DS
I believe the reason why the pixel-perfect mode was hidden behind holding SELECT for virtual console was for consistency, as that's how you got DS games to run in pixel-perfect mode too.
even then its very inconsistent, because for VC its select and for DS its start+select
Wait there's a pixel perfect mode for DS games???
Damn I did not realize this either...all those wasted years playing in blurry mode lol
@@carlosemilio5180no it’s not. You can hold either start or select for ds or virtual console games. Neither require both buttons to be held
@@carlosemilio5180how long have you been doing that?
Huh yeah now that I think about it, wild to think that at least something from NES, GB/GBC, SNES, N64, GBA, GCN, Wii, and DS was playable on 3DS one way or another.
Can't forget even a very small selection of Switch games too.
Wii U if you count ports like Super Mario Maker 3DS and Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World
@@bepis_realwhy wouldn’t you
@@bepis_real as well as Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate which is a Wii U game
BECAUSE 3DS IS THE BEST CONSOLE
The 3DS really is the definitive Nintendo system. You can play games from pretty much every console Nintendo has ever released on the stupid little brick. And that’s just out of the box, HomeBrewing it opens up even more options
I recently bought a New 3DS XL after wanting one of the years, and I made the choice to buy a JP console and homebrew it.
Best decision I've ever made!
@@TheChristianFangirlme but I got the normal new 3DS from Japan
@ChuckE.CheesesIllinois me but I got a first gen 3ds
@@Katnippps Same here, had it since Christmas the year it came out, which sadly meant I wasn't eligible for the Ambassador Program
And you can't play it's games anywhere else unless you wanna have a bad time with motion controls or you wanna see those 2 screens on 1 screen or you can pay a thousand dollars to buy that ayaneo ds console (just buy the real thing lmao)
Congrats on your win at the Olympics! You were the highlight of the gymnastics team.

Is there a racist scott?
@@mrtree1368 jontron
@@cavvygrave this is way too funny
Scott saying ass green just brings such a smile to my face 😂
Holy crap I'm drowning in all this content! You've been dropping banger after banger on Scott's Stash and Scott The Woz, great job guys!
It kinda irks me when people say that SNES VC was exclusive just to push the New 3DS because while I imagine that a lot of games ran fine, I had Mega Man X2 and it didnt ran fine at all, the game is filled with slowdowns that weren't in the original, I imagine it would be even worse on a regular 3DS and specially with games like DKC and Yoshi's Island
Plus Nintendo themselves said that they wouldn't work on the original 3DS not because it wasn't capable at all, but because it was incapable at running the games with the accuracy they wanted them to work at. Yes, you can play SNES on an original 3DS with fan-made emulators, but doing it this way will generally sacrifice accuracy in things like audio emulation, and give you less game compatibility in general (or games might work a bit more weirdly different from their original version) because you have to do more hacky methods to get things to work, and such.
that argument goes out the window when you realise these rapscallions released Hyrule Warriors on og 3ds. it doesn't run well at all and I have a hard time believing star fox would be unplayable when we've got snes emulation on og 3ds through HB
Great to see Scott return to normalcy after such _adult content_ yesterday
scott "smegma on my mind" the woz
Ace Attorney 4 was also weirdly re-released on 3ds really really late in the cycle. It must be for a way to have entire hexology available natively on 3ds, otherwise the improvement was minimal.
You actually had every game in the series including Spin-Offs available on the 3DS (to this day in fact), only the investigations games need the DS backwards-compatibillity. Of course some of those are Japanese exclusive on the 3DS, as opposed to like the Switch soon enough (but then the Layton-crossover is still stuck on the 3DS).
More Scott videos in my notifications always brings me joy
Majora's Mask 3D has a awesome mod that fixes all the 3D version issues and even adds a ton of QoL changes that turns 3D the definitive way to play Majora's Mask, even if Nintendo finds out, they won't give a single crap lol
majora's mask 3D project restoration
There's also a few PC ports which are much nicer to play .
Hard to call it the definitive version when the pc recompilation port exists now.
@@jonahj9519 I could agree with you, but the "turn on and play" factor always wins for me, PC is the place I work, when I play, I just want to stay away from it, but that's just me
@@DJCube1701yeah but on the go gaming
This is why I prefer the 3ds library over the DS library, so many high quality ports and entries like smash and Luigi mansion that the DS can’t even run
I reckon the ds could’ve had a version of smash if they tried
I’m still surprised they never had virtual boy virtual console on the 3DS. Even though VB had a small library, this could have been the chance to have an official way to play them in actually comfortable 3D.
It would have been cool for historic purposes etc but virtual boy games don’t even seem to be that good. Wario land is the ONLY one people talk about.
one of my favorite systems of all time. also how i’ve experienced NES zelda, earthbound, super metroid to name a couple stand out experiences from nintendo’s past
....Ya know, I never thought about how it had to be a secret code to get stuff like a custom Gameboy border when playing virtual console
Was Scott's mom some kind of CEO or something?... This kid had everything lol.
He said he got most if not almost all of his stuff during high school
The way it sounded during the childhood games collection vid, his parents and extended family were very supportive of his interests, so that definitely helped.
Don't forget the TH-cam impact on 2nd hand prices for retro games.
Not particularly, he began collecting as a teenager with money he made at jobs.
With how many times Scott buys Clu Clu Land, you have to wonder if he actually secretly likes it. 😅
Scott's dedication to playing everything legitimately warms my heart. I almost regret being a dirty pirate. Almost.
Bruh
Scott’s a dirty pirate too. He just isn’t open about it.
@@kingstarscream320 "What a man does offline is between him and his 3ds alone." - Sun Tzu or whatever
Interesting to note that 4 GBA games are also available on 3DS through the Mega Man Zero Collection for DS
I can’t be the only one who loves how the icons are constantly spinning from picking up Scott’s voice
I bought a used 3DS from a friend a while back so I could mod it. Best decision I've made since buying a 3DS in 2015
14:25 It's THE Minish Cap, Scott. "THE". It's stands for "diminish". It's a pun
Still play my 3DS from time to time. I still love it.
After modding it, I use it more than my switch
My guy you some how make a new 3DS Video that's fresh just about every week, and I'm all in everytime!
4:53 would’ve loved to see metroid with actual backgrounds rather than the black backdrop
11:48 Scott's hands look adorable.
He has really beautiful hands 😅
3D Kid Icarus also changes the control and physics, making it immensely more playable and turning a good classic into a great classic, imo.
Pit used to always walk forward when landing from a jump, making accidental falls during the the numerous platforming sections very common. The original controls/physics remain as an option.
13:34 you’re actually pretty correct on the matter
Take a shot every time Scott shakes the 3DS.
I can't wait for a proper 3ds video. It's my absolute favorite Nintendo product
Funny timing with how the Nintendo 3DS was a big talking topic today in the Spanish community cause a streamer talked about it and people were mad that the prices were gonna go high lol
really? who was it, cuz 3DS price are already high, just the original model or Xl are the same or more than an used Switch
"Gonna get high"? My brother in Christ, the 3DS has been expensive AF for years now
@@Paco8478 a Spanish streamer named Rubius.
I doubt it's gonna get really higher than they already are but it was just funny seeing so many people b*tch and get mad over a streamer just talking with his chat about his favorite handheld lol
@@PrixtoTNT Oh I see, I mean Rubius is popular but honestly that isn't gonna make it more expensive wtf, la gente no tiene nada mejor que hacer xd
My all time favorite console. Great to see its versatility appreciated!
17:19 I never knew there was a Diddy Kong Racing remake, but now that I do know it exists with Banjo and Conker cut from it, I can only wonder why they did that when it was made by Rare themselves
32:13 It's weird hearing this music outside of that one minus8 video after hearing it there first
I've been obsessing over my 3ds again... looks like the 3ds is back in fashion once again.
what's really magical is how a modded Wii U can play every Nintendo console ever made except the 3DS and Switch
Yeeeep, Scott spent another 45 minutes on his carpet
That carpet has seen things
This is just what I need with my morning coffee.
It'd be cool to do this type of video with each nintendo system!
17:22 - I've been into Nintendo for a long while now and I thought I knew about all of their noteworthy titles until I randomly saw Diddy Kong Racing DS sitting on a table next to some random tools in my middle school tech ed teacher's classroom. I didn't know this existed, I didn't know he played games, no one ever asked him about it, he never mentioned it, and we never saw it again.
This game also had:
No Banjo or Conker
A "stage editor" where you just drew a connected loop and the game arbitrarily added inclines wherever it wanted
The starting boosts were changed from button presses to rapidly swiping on the touch screen or blowing into the mic
The story blurbs from the manual were made into in-game cutscenes
Taj's voice was changed (probably for the best) but it was changed to a really weird whispery voice for some reason
They replaced the character select screen where everyone danced to the music with what I can only describe as a character select screen for a GameCube era E3 demo
And they completely gutted the intro due to it no longer representing the playable characters
This game is bizarre.
It's amazing how comprehensive a modded 3DS is for playing the entire history of Nintendo's handheld library with actual nintendo hardware.
4:25 to be fair kid Icarus 3D classic was their to build up hype for kid Icarus uprising back then.
Also people underrate this but, it's a good game? I always tell people to just get a few stages in to Kid Icarus because it gets way more fun as you start leveling up and the level design becomes more fun several stages in now that you aren't ascending from the depths anymore.
I remember in another Scott's Stash he very briefly touched on this topic so fun to see it expanded into a full video.
Additionally it was neat that 3DS had games outside the Nintendo consoles, like I was playing Dragon Quest VIII, a PS2 game, on there.
i did try to emulate gba games on my hacked 3ds and yes, the 3ds is in fact powerful enough to emulate gba games
I would be surprised if it wasn't powerful enough to emulate gba games.
Every sonic generations of the 3DS. Yes they ported sonic generations to the 3DS and its a version that slaps hard
its not a port, its just a sonic rush style game like colors on ds. however, there is a fan project trying to do an ACTUAL port of Unleashed to the 3ds
it slapped me hard in the face and called me ugly
Resident evil mercenary is actually taken from RE5’s mercenary mode
Majoras mask restoration project is definitely the definitive version of majoras mask imo, it's a reap blast to play!
It is really funny. Outside of Scott I have literally never heard anyone talk about the 3DS Ambassador Program. But I have heard Scott talk about it dozens of times
I was just playing my recently bought homebrewed new 3ds xl when i saw this! Really makes you appreciate how much you can do on this system!
0:44 Evidence that Scott can use the force to play SMB
The 3DS was truly ahead of its time. What a great era
I wouldn't say ahead of it's time, but it really punched above its weight
Psp was ahead of its time, 3ds was right where it should be
@@CarpetBananaagreed. PS Vita was even more.ahead of its time too.
But they flopped it so hard ...
I like the 3DS but what about it was ahead of its time?
@@thesorrowfulwourmit literally invented the 3rd dimension
The internet, video game historian does it again! Seriously, you are on a roll with your Scott's stash uploads, Scott. You really covered all the definitive releases for each console generation on the 3ds (at least from what I could tell). I'm assuming all the other games that weren't featured here were merely shovelware or really obscure titles that no one cares about.
2:26
Never thought I’d be given the image of Scott in the bathroom playing Punch Out! on his 3DS while dropping a log
I thought this was going to be a video on R4 carts lol
As a Pokemon fan, it was amazing when you could play almost every generation on one console up to that point. RBY, GSC, DPP, HGSS, BW, B2W2, XY, ORAS, SM, and USUM all playable. Only missing the original Gen 3 games to complete the set, RSE and FRLG.
I still find it extremely funny how both the Wii U and 3DS were basically several old consoles stapled together, 3DS still had hardware capable of running GBA. The Wii U was just four Game Cubes on top of each other, still could ran that natively just fine. Which means Nintendo used that Game Cube architecture from 2001 to early 2017, wild stuff.
The best part about the Mario Clash microgame is even if WarioWare Gold had actually been 3D compatible, all the non-boss microgames take place on the bottom screen so it _still_ wouldn't have been in 3D
I never knew that gameboy border trick!
Holy shit, Scott acknowledged Etrian Odyssey's existence!
You missed out not getting balloon fight. Great bathroom material. @2:31
You should a similar video to this one, but with the Nintendo Switch (excluding NSO) and here are examples:
NES is Nintendo World Championships, Namco Museum, Mega Man Legacy Collections and Arcade Archives
SNES is again, Arcade Archives, and Mega Man X Legacy Collections
N64 is Super Mario 3D All-Stars, the Turok games, Doom 64 and Shadow Man
GameCube is SM3DAS, Metroid Prime: Remastered, Resident Evil Remake, 0 and 4 and the Star Wars games from Aspyr
Wii is SM3DAS again, Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe, Donkey Kong Country Returns HD and The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD
Wii U is SM3D World, MK8DX, Resident Evil Revelations, and Super Mario Maker
Game Boy (Colour) is the Link’s Awakening remake
GBA is Mega Man Zero/ZX and Battle Network
DS is Resident Evil
3DS is Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD
I need some more examples, help me out, guys
i was just thinking about this very thing a few days ago, you're a mind reader. 3ds is special to me.
9:05 actually from what i remember SNES games are "playable" on an original 3DS but its really not a great experience. Maybe Nintendo could have gotten them running well i just used snes9x or something but i get why they wouldn't put SNES games out on the original ones
I was a "3DS ambassador" but then I brought my 3DS to school one day, and I never saw it again. The lost and found lady was very quick to say it wasn't turned in when I described what it looked like, so I've always been under the impression she snagged it for her kid. I've missed being able to play the GBA games on 3DS, but I'm glad I got to play through Metroid Fusion for the first time on it.
This whole video is a big reason the 3DS is one of my favorite systems
How many Wii games received ports and remasters on the Switch? Kirby's Return to Dreamland, Super Mario Galaxy, Sonic Colors, Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess, and we are getting Epic Mickey and later on Donkey Kong Country Returns, there's also some GC to Wii to Switch remasters such as Metroid Prime, Pikmin 1&2, Resident Evil 0/1/4... and I guess you can count Mega Man 9&10 as well as Klonoa since the Switch port is technically based off of the Wii remaster... I'm sure I'm forgetting a punch more.
If a game was available on both the Wii U and the 3DS I always bought it on a 3DS because of the portability. The only games I didn't buy on 3DS were ones I already owned on Wii U for some reason mainly the Super Nintendo games which they should have just had them be cross-platform like tipping stars.
Toki Tori is one of my favorite GB games and I did not know the remake was a 3DS game so I have it on Wii U (and Steam but I can't get it working on the Deck sadly)
17:33 NGL I love Diddy Kong Racing DS. It was my first DS game and I played the crap out of it
TIL you can change the green layer by holding L and R + y!
3DS really did do everything:
NES
SNES
N64
GameCube
Wii
Wii U
And even Switch, which is really crazy.
The reason SNES games where New 3DS exusives is cuz some of the more intensive games like Mode 7 stuff would not run that well if at all on the older models. Does not explain why they couldn't just make curtain games exusives
don’t forget!! monster hunter XX came out on the same day for 3ds and Switch exclusively in JP, and even had local crossplay between the systems (i think it’s the only case of this)
what the HELL? diddy kong racing DS??? i'm not the biggest donkey kong fan but i am baffled by finding out about this remakes existence
This is probably common knowledge but it’s interesting to think the 3DS was alive and had releasing games during the Wii, Wii U, and Switch Runs. I remember seeing ads for NSMB2 on the Wii channels
There was the Game & Watch Collection on DS which is BC on 3DS. Plus maybe some of those G&W Gallery titles might've been on VC.
PS. Scott forgot about Game & Watch.
he literally brought up the game and watch ds and gameboy ports in like the first 10 minutes he didnt forget
I love that the 3DS gave us access to so many console generations but unfortunately they don’t look all that great on the low res screen (at least I always had problems with it)
have you tried holding select or start while the game is loading? makes it look wayyy better in native resolution, for me at least
love the virtual boy rant
I was one of the owners of Diddy Kong Racing DS. I didn’t think it was a DS game, but a new game entirely. This was back in 2015, I was 8.
Congrats on your Olympic victory!
I remember I got Splinter Cell 3D because it was rated T my dad wouldn't let me get Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D. I went back later in life and played Chaos Theory and it's quite impressive how they got it running on the 3DS, cut content and all.
I really hope the new N64 recomp tool leads to more N64 ports on 3DS. The Mario 64 port looks amazing in widescreen and 3D
I played and made Mario maker 3ds a ton on the bus. Very nostalgic
When I think of splinter cell chaos theory, I definitely think of the gamecube version
❗️My Timestamps:
0:42 I have had SMB1 nearly every time it has been released so that means NES, SNES (Mario Allstars 1), GBC, GBA, Wii VC, 3DS VC and G&W (2020 edition).
7:43 I once bought a genuine copy of the 3DS version of 'Shantae: TPC' still in cellophane off E-Bay for £15 and sold it about a year or so later for £90.
The Seller had 'more than one' of these and I now WISH I had bought a few more.
21:07 I still have 'LM1' on 3DS in its Argos cellophane...
32:12 UNLESS they re-release the VirtualBoy or the Swiitch TwU has stereoscopic 3D, Nintendo are NEVER going to re-release those games EVER AGAIN!
38:05 I bought both versions of 'Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker'.
What I find kind of amazing is how every single Dragon Quest Game is ported to 3DS:
DQ1, 2 & 3: NES and GBC virtual console
DQ4: NES virtual console, DS Port
DQ5 & 6: SNES virtual console, DS Port
DQ7 & 8: 3DS ports
DQ9: native DS game
DQ10: Available via cloud streaming, which apparently was a thing on 3DS in Japan
DQ11: 3DS port released day-in-date with PS4 version, and 3DS version is arguably the better version since it is playable in 16-bit or 3D (like the definitive edition for Switch). The 3DS version also outsold the PS4 version.
Dragon Quest is like, the biggest RPG series in Japan and every single game is on 3DS in some form (although some versions are Japan exclusive).
Also, I was shocked to learn that the first ever English localization of Final Fantasy 3 was on DS in 2006. Final Fantasy 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 were ported to PS1 and GBA and localized in English, but Final Fantasy 3 was only released internationally on DS, PSP, Ouya, Mobile phones, Steam (but its a PC port of the DS remake), and finally on Switch and PS4 via the pixel remaster. Weird. Like, Final Fantasy 1-13 were almost all playable on PS3 thanks to remasters and the , but Final Fantasy
Anyway Scott the Woz is not an RPG guy but I wanted to add some RPG guy perspective on this. Also, Nintendo did DS Remakes of both Book 1 and Book 2 from Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem for SNES (Book one was called Shadow Dragon in North America, Book 2 was never released in North America). Also Fire Emblem Echoes on the 3DS was a remake of an NES game. So yeah, Chrono Trigger is not the only SNES RPG that got released on DS. There's also Dragon Quest 5, Dragon Quest 6, and Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem.
25:02 they made a 3rd one. I loved the second one on ps2 i didn't know they made another one
Scott please keep on going.
40:26 scott got inspirited by seth rogan for a second
Really funny that the 3ds even has a switch game on it in the form of fire emblem warriors (it was announced as a switch game)
theres some PS2 games on 3ds too: Tales of the abyss, dragon quest 8, metal gear 3...
Scott I just had a dream where we were hiking in the woods and you just talked about neo geo the whole time
Something else to add, you can add the Mega Man Zero series to the compatible GBA titles on 3DS with the Mega Man Zero collection on DS
Mega Man Battle Network 5 released on DS as well
5:00 Plus they could've gotten rid of the blank blue bar that was on the left side of the screen when you played a level.
You'd think someone with Scott's appearance would have a major in software development.
