Fun fact about Meme Run: the reason why it got on the system in the first place is becuase the creator basically begged Nintendo to put it on like 8 times, and then they finally caved. This makes it even funnier that it got delisted for the Troll Face tbh
This was the Wii u era Nintendo needed all they could get
Wait
The creator trolled Nintendo by making them add it just to get hit with the troll face's copyright.
Meme run is peek
gotta love how everyone's like: "oh man I'm so nostalgic for the Wii U and 3DS e shops, Nintendo don't take them away!" and then Ant goes: "screw that, I'm gonna tear this crap apart!"
People missed the GOOD eShop exclusive games
I'm grieving for the loss of the Virtual Console specifically. So many classics and hidden gems are now unavailable for manageable prices.
@@CrimsonMoonM fair, but I mean, companies are more willing to rerelease them, maybe send them a letter. Especially if it's say Nintendo or Sega or Capcom, they'll definitely read it.... Maybe not much else, but who knows, maybe you'll be part of a group sending letters that revive a series.
The eShop had some awesome highlights, but it was 90% trash.
Most worthwhile eshop exclusives (mutant muds, gunman clive, Shantae, Gunvolt, etc.) have been ported to switch or PC by now. There are some that haven't and are definitely worth checking out if you have CFW installed, like Harmoknight, Pocket Card Jockey, Dillon's Rolling Western, Sakura Samurai, Dementium 3d, Moon Chronicles, Sega 3D Classics, and the Guild compilations, but those are only a handful of the whole eshop library.
The Nintendo Seal of Quality used to mean something.
The reason that PDI Check was on the eShop was so that doctors in developing nations where they couldn't get expensive medical equipment could still get tools to help test the eyes of children. It's honestly really cool that they found the alternative to having to get the expensive equipment, and I'm sure it helped a lot of children.
Strabismus is a vision disorder in which the eyes do not properly align with each other when looking at an object. Crossed eyes is another term for Strabismus. I have Strabismus (not on DS but in my eyes).
Why on Earth was it $99.99? I get how hospital equipment can be EXPENSIVE but this is 3DS SOFTWARE. Also graphics are bare minimum. Edit: Maybe it has to with depth, but still how has this more work put into it than other 3DS games for cheaper? I'm baffled and want to know why.
But WHY $100!
@@RBunctiousIt's because of the use of the 3D function. Ur intended to properly use the slider to sync the depth in and out. And given how niche of a market it would be serving, it honestly wouldn't surprise me if they actually lost money developing and selling it even at $100.
@@deadtbh9868 Ahh gotcha. It's all coming together. -Kronk
the letter ruled, bc when it released it was on sale for 1$. played it, there were no enemies, just spooky noises, had a HUGE laugh with my sister. everyone was making fun of the dev on miiverse and he was a super nice guy, taking criticism pretty well and rolling w/ the jokes. the letter is now on steam and he’s actually still making games under the name of TreeFall Studios! it makes me so happy to see him following his dream, even after getting dunked on so hard with his first title
It's good to see devs take criticism on the chin and be mature about it. It's even better to hear they're not discouraged and are still doing stuff.
@@sharkhammr gotta start somewhere! I appreciate game devs whose ambition does not exceed their skills.
@@ziqi92 awww that's awesome!
@@sharkhammr i meam provided that's actual criticism and not just mindless vitriol, and usually it's the latter
I swear I played Maze by him! If it had bonus levels with his other games as the theme, I swear I played it!
PDI check relies on the 3d aspect of the 3ds. basically you need to pick the one that's at a different depth
So basically….something emulation can’t replicate. Suck on that emulation bros.
@@tiredhippo82 Yeah, emulation is usually fine... until you need more than the basic functions.
@@mrsuperheatran2794 yeah i played mario and luigi partners in time on an emulator and while it worked it just… didn’t feel right.
Strabismus is a vision disorder in which the eyes do not properly align with each other when looking at an object. Crossed eyes is another term for Strabismus. I have Strabismus (not on DS but in my eyes).
@@tiredhippo82 it absolutely can. Citra has a ton of 3d options. It's compatible with 3d monitors, red-blue 3d glasses, and if you've got a vr headset, you can stream your PC display to it and play in 3d that way.
In a small defense of pdi check being $100, standard pdi equipment can cost hundreds if not thousands of dollars. Compared to that, $100 is quite cheap.
May be possible, but what does PDI equipment actually do, when the software itself functions less then a newgrounds flashgame?
@@Sheepy007 according to Wikipedia pdi is the distance in millimeters between the centers of each pupil. The software is meant to be used with the 3d slider and a doctor to give instructions.
@@betafurret1503 But I do not believe, that a 3ds is calibrated for these kind of tasks
@@Sheepy007it was for doctors to take to developing nations that may not have equipment or labs. Kind of messed up for people in developed nations to dunk on software that's probably helped hundreds of kids to see
That's not an excuse to charge $100 for a barebones software that could be developed by a single person in like one hour
LOL!! Bro thanks for the shout out inclusion of The Letter. I also see you have our logo art in your thumbnail as well. That is hilarious.
I am torn. Kind of sad it did not make the worst game on your list, and also relieved at the same time. Thanks for the emotions.
Hit me up if you want a code for Meme Run 2, or some of my newer games that are much better, just for fun. Nice video, I miss these days.
-Eli
Did you really make The Letter? That’s pretty cool! Still, I’m sorry that the game didn’t get a good reception. Does that bother you?
@@Lucarioworld101 Yep I did ha! I mean it was rough at the time, I was extremely young and just learning. It was my first major release. I basically thought no one would even see it or play it. It was kinda wild the way it blew up. I just took the criticism that was actually constructive and not hateful and learned from it. I kept making games and more games. Now I am doing indie game development full time and release games on PlayStation and Steam mostly. As well as do game development content here on TH-cam.
But yea it was pretty insane at the time, I was like 19 when I started developing it in college on the side, and then suddenly I had like Game Trailers and major websites just obliterate me LOL. Now it is a meme for some people who enjoy it, and a cult classic for others lol.
@@TreeFallStudios I’m glad that you’re still making games! It’s really nice that you didn’t get discouraged by the hate. Thanks for responding, too!
@@Lucarioworld101 For sure!! It was tough in the beginning, people followed me from game to game just trashing before trying them just because of The Letter. People just really hated it lol. It took awhile for all of that to disappear, but I am also glad I did not give up either. It has been a fun ride so far, hoping for even better things in the future! And oh yea of course! Thanks for commenting on my comment ha!
Nah, Kersploosh! deserves way more credit. Overall it's a perfectly fine, nicely polished time waster. It's short but the whole point is trying to get the best time possible so that gives it some decent replayability if you can get into the gameplay. It even allowed you to send and receive high scores via StreetPass which was pretty neat.
It’s called Splash or Crash actually.
@@SlugterraMaster In Europe, yeah. In the US it's called "Kersploosh!".
@@mystman1210 Australia also calls it Splash or Crash. I live in Australia. Splash or Crash is a better name anyway.
9:15 As someone who put in literally hundreds of hours into Dragalia Lost, I genuinely miss it. It's a damn shame they didn't at least get Spirits in Smash Ultimate.
The Dragalia jumpscare tho
#VioRhyseAlberia o7
I'm hoping they do something with the series in the future.
RIGHT ?
I LOVED dragolia lost and the summon pools weren't that bad for a gacha game if you put in the man hours .
And that's what you get when you get invested in a mobile "game"

The 3DS will always be my favorite handheld system of all time. It’s home to so many of my favorite games and franchises. Plus it actually had wallpapers and music. And the virtual console was pretty good. Too bad all of those features never returned on the Switch.
Hope they do for the next console. I'd like a customizable Home Menu again and a shop with good music-just music at all actually
I think themes are coming to Switch, because during Capcom's own presentation they said that pre-ordering Ghost Trick (highly recommended) will give you a free background regardless of system..!
@@TeruteruBozusama background might be for in-game customization OR the Switch version will come with free avatars instead. But, themes are welcome on Switch (even if I stopped playing it!)
A New 3ds with CFW is probably the best portable gaming option.
You say that like any of those features matters like what you turn on your game system because you wanted to look at a pretty picture
Actually, the Mario Clock alarm is a really good alarm, precisely because of how much of an earache it is
It helped me trough highschool like you can't imagine
I actually had Kutar as a kid, I begged my mom to let me buy all 10 games. That was the worst 20 dollars I ever spent, because each was 2 dollars, which should have been the price for all 10. I still enjoyed it a fair bit though.
12:34 A year ago I had a crippling social media addiction that made waking up with my phone impossible because I'd spend hours scrolling and then go back to sleep. For a while I actually found Mario Clock quite useful as it allowed me to wake myself up without like 17 notifications in my face immediately. Sounds a bit redundant but with no job at the time I was working with what I had haha.
"am I finally going insane"
Ant, you reviewed DOZENS of Spongebob games, spent over $200 on bad Switch games, and now you've spent God knows how much on bad 3DS and Wii U games....
sanity was never an option!
I hope to give some insight to the eye trainer "game" as there is some much needed context that antdude in my opinion should have considered. This software is not a brain age type thing, it isn't for us consumers, it was made a super cool eye doctor that wanted to create a more friendly and intuitive alternative to the much more expensive specialized equipment. I really respect this dude for making a whole ass software that is cheaper then bulky equipment and I feel like it gets too much flack.
That isn’t the only Meme Run sequel, there was another on Wii U that was also a first person shooter called “Bigley’s Revenge” (named after a stickfigure drawing of Ridley that was a meme on Miiverse, who also appears in meme run as a secret mode). It’s a first person shooter of all things.
I HAVEN'T HEARD THAT NAME IN AT LEAST 5 YEARS. GEE WHIZ.
@@LAST_STAND_FAN same ngl, Bigley is very obscure for what was a central meme mascot of a social media platform.
I just discovered Tomodatchi Life and MiiTopia. I cannot believe I have never heard of these amazing video games before. These are the biggest diamonds in the rough I’ve ever seen.
At least Miitopia can be played on the switch, but I really wish Tomodachi Life has a sequel or gets a remake.
Miitopia got a switch remake very recently. Tomodachi Life had its own Nintendo Direct, and it was a very memorable one. Those games are gems, but very well known gems
The miitopia switch remake is absolutely amazing, i can only hope they're waiting for the next console to give tomodachi life the same treatment.
Looking back on AntDude’s previous forays into the eShop bottom of the barrel is interesting, especially considering how many he compared to high school/college level projects. Because I have a feeling at least some of these _were._
I want to make a top down action roguelike, and put it on the Switch because I’m a big Nintendo fan. I’ve been working on it since my senior year of high school and I sort of empathize with some of these projects, because a few of them show a little, tiny bit of promise from the developer for improvement.
Like, I’m sure my game will certainly be no Madden 08 or Gex (and I will most likely not be charging money for it), but the reason I’m making it and putting it out there is so I can improve and make better games in the future.
That sounds really cool! I hope that you don’t feel too discouraged after watching this video. I also wondered if some of these games were first attempts by amateur game developers who were still in school. It would explain a lot.
Did you start developement for the game and if so could you tell me the hypothetic release date and the name of the game. Im a big roguelike fan and the game you just described sounds really cool and interesting to me. Love the pfp by the way
@@zegiraffes So my game is called Castle Fractal, and I have a very basic prototype at the moment.
I’m releasing it in 2 parts. I can’t make any promises on the release date because I’m still a full-time college student, but v0.9b (with the core endless run mode) will be hopefully be released on Unity Play by Q4 2023, and v1.0 (with the challenges and story bits) will hopefully be released by Q2 2024 on Steam and eShop (whether that be the Switch or its successor remains to be seen).
And thank you, I wish I knew who drew the picture…
Story time: My Sister and My 3DS’es were never usually connected to the internet, but one connection slipped through the cracks and we got a demo of Dinosaur Office to watch.
It’s sad to see such potential on Switch go where they install apps FOR you.
That brief showing of Dragalia Lost at 9:20 hurt my heart.
"It's surprisingly easy to mod a 3ds" HE SAID THE THING
Who else has been on a 3DS binge lately? I’ve been playing the system a lot again recently and I’m happy I managed to download the stuff that was too expensive to get physically before the store closed like all the SMT games and I’m currently working through my backlog like Bravely Default and such
I did it last year after Good Vibes Gaming suggested some games
I finally homebrewed my 3ds after the eShop closed down, and I've been playing stuff like monster hunter stories and cave story a bunch
I’ve been playing on my modded 3DS regular DS games I never got to play like Advance Wars Dual Strike, Super Princess Peach and Pokémon Gen 5 (arguably the peak of Pokémon imo)
I actually bought the original 2ds to get into 3ds games. I actually sought out some pretty rare games. I found Metal Gear Solid 3D for 40 bucks. It goes for 100 here in Europe. Fun little system for sure, with loads of charm. That is something that is missing from the Switch for me. Charm. The UI alone is so lifeless and boring.
Same here!!!! Helps that I upgraded in 2020 from the launch model to the blue and black New 2DS XL, it’s such a great system and I’ve been carrying it around with me daily now for Streetpass!
I downloaded Badge Arcade very close to the eShop closing, and while it doesn’t rotate the things for me I do love having Majora’s Moon stare at me on my menu while Calamari Inkantation plays.
Bro the 3ds was so good. It took me by surprise when I heard how bad it sold compared to the ds.
Edit: Nice Scott the Woz reference at 1:00
You got first
Congrats
1:25 Yeah it hurts. Especially with Yo-Kai Watch 3. That franchise was done so dirty here in the states (ironic since the third game takes place in America).
That fat dragons game looked cute so I looked into the developer a bit. They’re called Nostatic and I think it’s just one dude from what I can tell. A lot of people assume these sorta low production quality games are made by companies who just don’t know how to make good games, but often it’s just one or two people with limited resources making a passion project :)
I think the funniest thing about Meme Run is that the collision in the game was so terrible, you could just randomly clip through the floor at any moment. And I remember seeing the developer, on Miiverse, make a post that explained "uhh it's actually a gameplay mechanic, it's an invisible troll floor! it's indistinguishable from a real floor and impossible to determine when or where one will show up. It's intentional though!"
He pulled a Sonic 3 manual "Robotnik's traps in Ice Cap Zone" bit to explain the glitches away instead of committing himself to patching them.
I was way more attached to the 3DS E-Shop, and I just spent hours downloading demos and free-to-play games, watching game trailers, and most importantly…
*staring at a game I really wanted but couldn’t afford because I was 6 years old.*
yeah 3DS was great, sad how it's gone the way of the dodo now.
I remembe watching nintendo minute on it back then(rip nintendo minute)
Kersploosh was actually the first game that I ever bought on the 3DS. As a kid, I would basically play anything.
As a Kersploosh enthusiast I will not tolerate such slander for the genius of this ball dropping game, but thank you for mentioning it now people will know its existence. Who knows what we will do without Kersploosh.
as a person who has never heard of or played Kersploosh!, I will tolerate this slander because yes
@@roboturtle1429 It’s called Splash or Crash actually.
I had Kersploosh! Was actually a decently fun time.
Really wish I'd gotten HarmonKnight when that was around, though...
@@llmkursk8254 "Splash or Crash"
@@MK8MasterJunjie Look man, I live in the US, it was released as Kersploosh!. Not much else I can do.
Anyone ever try Block Form? I recently got a New 3DS XL to mod it and was curious about some of the New-exclusive games. One of them was Block Form, and it’s literally nothing more than the default Unity environment with a start menu and a cube as a playable character.
I’ve used Unity myself in a college-level Game Dev class, and Block Form could be thrown together by a single student in an hour tops, like it’s so low-effort that all you’d have to do is create a new project and write a short PlayerController script, maybe attach a RigidBody component to it, and that is Block Form
Oh God, I remember one time my brother and I were home alone and we ordered a pizza and downloaded and played The Letter on our Wii U. We laughed at how genuinely awful it was and had a great time all around.
Hearing "Dinosaur Office RAAAAWWWRRR" just sent me back through a time portal
PDI check is being used in countries where computers and medical equipment are not readily available, and it’s still being used as the cheapest option for eye testing there
PDI check was on sale for 5 bucks once and I bought it... I was similarly underwhelmed.
Just so you know, Carlos Ramirez sold the copyright to troll face a couples years ago, but his lawyers absolutely did strike this game back in 2011
Friendly reminder the 3DS and Wii U eshops aren't completely gone, you can still redownload anything you bought/downloaded in the past as well get game and system updates. The same is true for the Wii and DSi.
18:18 seeing Cube Creator's title screen brings back so many memories. Back when I had an obsession with wanting Minecraft, I'd try to find any way to play it. The best I could do is play the Cube Creator Demo. I spent hours, days, months even playing the crap outta that demo. Not a great game, but I'll give it a nod of approval for lending me enjoyment.
I wouldn't touch it now tho lmao
The reseal value is the primary reason why I bought those 3DS games I always wanted to play as quickly before they're gone and come back costing hundred dollars. Might as well by them now even if they are a little more expensive before the price gets just ridiculous.
Kersploosh has a japan-only expanded version called 新ひゅ～ストン (Shin Hyu~stone) that was never localized. Maybe that fixes some of the issues you were having with it?
13:59 this reminded me of a dream I had last night where "Garfield Kart 1+2" was a game released on the Switch, Garfield was a final character added to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe along with the final dlc tracks, and perhaps the most egregious thing, in this dream the Garfield Kart games were fun, decent little kart racing games.
I do respect all the people that sat down and contributed something to the eShop, I have this Horseshoe Crab Rescue game that costed just a buck and it’s a chill little Unity beach simulator. I’d imagine this game has reached a wide number of people and helped them through the day.
Also I will never forget Meme Run, and I will ALWAYS yearn to experience it firsthand.
Cube creator 3Ds sequel, cube creator dx, is actually really good. It’s less of a Minecraft clone and more of a Minecraft inspired game
Absolutely love the 3DS. First console I owned that I didn’t have to share with my family and I have so many good memories with it. Still consistently play games on it, too.
Any and all acknowledgment of Dinosaur Office being on the 3DS at some point is appreciated. Really was peak.
The very few parts where Photo-Finder actually remembered that it was a Chibi-Robo game were okay, but yeah, it's a shame those were few and far between
I would like to add that The First Skunk Bundle was $25. It went on sale for free at one point, but you still got the $25 worth of My Nintendo gold coins. Worth it just for those coins.
It's a real shame AntDude never came across Harold Reborn. I expected to see it going into this video, but to know he hasn't experienced the best piece of media, he's missing out.
Harold's walk too. Unironically really fun games that I have 100%ed
I actually have Bird Mania on my 3DS! Assuming the leaderboard was actually online, I had most of the top scores. Wonder if that’s changed?
I love your new set up! It's so much more brighter than before! :)
So I can shed the tiniest pinhole of light as to why there were so many questionable quality "indie" games on the Wii U shop at least. I'm speaking as someone who had a Wii U Dev kit back in roughly 2012, and aspirations to develop on it. I guess I was also a member of the indie initiative for a little while.
First, they were heavily pushing an older version of Unity branched off from the main engine as the primary tool you would be using to develop on the Wii U. It was a few versions before Unity made some heavy QOL changes and upgrades to the engine, and it was very clunky. If you weren't developing using this old version of Unity, you were programming in some weird version of Javascript.
Second, the dev kit was an absolute *bastard* to set up. I say this as an IT professional for 15 years. I got blindly lucky that the motherboard I had on my computer at the time possessed two ethernet ports, which ended up being how I had the dev kit connected into my machine. Nintendo's indie program (at the time lead by Dan Adelman doing everything he could before eventually leaving Nintendo) was extremely unresponsive when it came to support, with the initial setup thread on the private forum having over 10 pages of back and forth technical questions related to just getting the thing working.
While I'm still sad I don't think the Wii U ended up reaching the success I thought it capable of, it's not like I was able to contribute to the brighter future. Wouldn't you know it, making your ideas into reality is hard, especially when you see the writing on the wall for the ailing console you're designing the controls and gameplay around.
we wouldn't have gotten the stonecutter if it wasn't for this though so all is well
And, if you completely missed this era, always remember the old saying:
- "It is actually really easy to mod your Nintendo 3ds" .
I've actually played some of the Kutar games and I always find the losing animations funny
1:46 Or… did you know that modding your 3ds is surprisingly eas-
Great to see these retrospectives. Never owned these consoles, but I’m thinking of getting a 3DS after all.
get it while it's cheap, should be easy to find a few off at thrift stores nowadays or corner store video game shops
I actually bought one! I love it!
Daikon Set is actually part of a 4 game series on the 3ds and Wii U. Tbh I think they're good for what they are, I honestly love stupid simple games, and I mean Daikon Set is (or was) literally free.
Fun fact, one game in that series was sold for 2 cents since launch, and while it's another simple one note game, the reason I found it particularly amusing is bc it has an absolutely absurd file size. It's bigger than some proper Nintendo first party stuff. Which is incredibly damning given the 3DS has such small storage and doesn't (officially) support any sd cards larger than 32GB.
Most Characters: No! I can't believe I've lost!
Kutar: ** E X P A N D **
I miss the 3ds/wii u era virtual console. Back when i could buy a game and own it and play it offline
you can do that now.
Bird Mania had a fierce competitive scene, I’ll let you know.
Also I actually quite enjoyed The Magic Hammer. The main point of the game is to get blocks from the graveyards to restore the plazas in the various towns, to power up the hammer. It was a simple gameplay loop, but it kind of works for me.
Play Soul Blazer for the SNES or Dark Cloud for the ps2
@@mightbeanerd huh, why? Are they like the magic hammer or something?
@@AbeM. Well, from what you told said in your original comment, it sounds similar.
From what you said, Magic Hammer is about going to those graveyards, fighting a few enemies, and then grabbing things to restore a town which powers you up.
Soul Blazer is a series of games for the SNES (although they all have different titles,) where there's 5 or 6 empty towns with nothing in them, and you have to go into a dungeon, fight enemies, level up, and when you defeat all the enemies in a certain area, some part of town will be restored. You restore buildings, people, maybe a passage to a new weapon or item, things like that. The combat itself is kinda like old top down Zelda games.
Dark Cloud is a ps2 rpg by level 5. It's pretty similar, there's a few empty towns you get to, you go into dungeons, and find items to restore the town. Only difference this time is you actually place the houses and whatnot yourself, so it has a city builder aspect. The combat hasn't aged very well, although there are multiple playable characters if you're into that.
Overall I just thought you might be interested in them if you like gameplay loops like that, the biggest problems with both games is that they've all aged quite a bit, I honestly have trouble playing the first Dark Cloud in this day and age. And you have to like pixel graphics for the Soul Blazer games.
@@mightbeanerd ah I see! Thanks
29:37 Fun Fact: This is the final line of The Eagles' hit song Hotel California. You could say it is a song about a haunted hotel, but certainly not one as bad as this.
I’m so happy I got my system Homebrewed, because I can play all of this shit for as long as I want. The lack of Charm that the Switch has is so obvious when you just look back on the 3DS and WiiU
Just so you know, Cube Creator 3d actually has a sequel which was released in 2018. It's called Cube Creator DX and it's actually really good
I just searched it and oh my god it looks so cute
@@hellohaveagoodday Yeah, and it plays great too, even on an Old 3DS
@@Steammoch that's cool, I think I'll pick it up as I've been looking for more time wasters for my old 3ds as most of the games I want to play only work on the New version
All suspension railroad simulator needed was a control scheme menu, I had to look up controls online but it's enough of a game for the title it has.
You can even say the name of the next stop over the intercom!
Garfield Kart will allways be my favourite .
Yeah my boi is back, i haven't played anything Nintendo related recently ive been mostly reading fantays books and watching fantasy movies like The Hobbit recently. Thank you!!!
I honestly feel like ant’s new stuff honestly feels more like it’s him talking rather then just reading off a script
I bought Freedom Planet from the Switch's eShop, and I hope you make a video on that, my favorite game of all time.
On the whole 'second-hand physical game prices' thing, funnily enough a few weeks ago I was looking in a charity shop near where my sister lives, and in there, I found a sealed copy of Pokémon Ultra Sun going for £5. Not even kidding, it was still factory sealed, the box looked more or less pristine, and it was being sold for five frigging pounds. I brought it and I'm keeping it as-is, if the price of it ever shoots up, it was a good investment!
And yeah, I feel the same way about my copy of Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness how you feel about that Fire Emblem game X'D
That’s why I bought all my 3DS games before the e-shop closed. The games that I bought for $30 are now in the hundreds. It’s insane.
kersploosh was one of my fav small games i got on the 3ds. it felt so charming
Before the eshop closed, I wanted to get some physical copies of Professor Layton games. I got some of the original DS games, and I already have Mask of Miracle. But a few of the 3DS games were like the cost of new Switch games. I would rather pay for a new Switch game than get something second-hand.
The fact that i own most of the games in the video (and all 10 kutar games) says something about me...
Also, the Mario Clock alarm was how I woke up at midnight on September 9th to play Splatoon 3 for the 1st time.
Striabismus is a vision problem that can theoretically be fixed via training so there's that.
thank you , AntDude , 4 brightening our weekend !! 💗
The Dinosaur Office reference just uncovered a hidden nostalgia spot I've had and didn't even realized I missed. Thanks Ant
I had a friend that used to play Meme Run. Needless to say, their decisions in video games resulted in our relationship today!
I have been spending the past week alternating between my Steam Deck, my Switch lite, and my 3DS. I love portable gaming so much.
"Doug's First Movie." Haven't heard that name in a long time.
Dude, Antdude92, I love your content. This one, in particular, made me laugh the hardest I've laughed in a long while.
Dinosaur Office was my childhood. I laughed my butt off when I watched. I would watch them over and over again. You put a memory from a time long forgotten back into my brain. Kutar was also a game I played a lot. I mean mini game.
Glad someone remember that dinosaur office demo thingy
Cube Creator 3D was pretty neat. ... For like a few minutes, then I started playing other games I thought were actually interesting or fit my taste.
Like Best of Solitaire. A collection of numerous card games from different genres (called "Family" in-game). You've got Baker's Dozen, Bel. Castle, Canfield, Fan, Forty Thieves, Four Seasons, Freecell, Klondike, Math, Pairing, Spider, Yukon and Other.
If it wasn't that it was usually something that was relaxing when I wanted to relax, typically involving fishing. But now with a modded 3DS I usually play Slingo Supreme (DSiware) or Classic Games Overload in situations where being loud isn't recommended or during short trips.
2:20 that Bomberman Hero music, man!!!! Nostalgia hittin me hard, I loved that song as a kid and will NEVER forget where it comes from. Such a damn jam
Kersploosh is an absolute treasure. It's a quick high score game with super cute 3D effects. I'm sorry you can't see the difference between a doughnut and a piece of wood.
I went on a buying streak for 3ds and Wii U games after the eshop closure announcement. I am very happy to have gotten everything I wanted at or around MSRP.
I actually bought pdi check on the Eshop… on sale.
At one point they put it on sale for like 5 dollars and I bought it for the memes. It truly is peak gaming ngl
Oh man, four minutes in and you already unlocked a core memory for me with Dinosaur Office 😂 this is gonna be a good one
New AntDude video....my day has suddenly got better
I remember cube creator 3D. I was on the school bus and played the demo and thought it was so cool. I never really had a way to play minecraft
18:28 This was actualy one of the first 3ds games I pirated and it honestly brought me back to Fortresscraft 3d. Going into a mineclone expecting the worse can really make parts of it really shine
Fat Dragon does have a soundtrack. The main theme is John Cage's "4:33".
4:09 Omg this brought back such primal memories of my teenage years. Dinosaur Office ruled
You know it’s a good day when antdude posts
I can confirm from prior experience in being a tester who certified games for release on console that there is absolutely no quality standards being checked beyond “Does it run?” and “Does it brick our machine?”
11:11 - 11:43:
I actually bought “Bird Mania” and I have it on my 3DS. It’s alright actually. It has some badass music as well.
Hi Antdude I love this and I hope you have a good day and you are awesome and funny
So excited for may-rio month!
Me too! I wonder what he will talked about May-rio month, apart from the movie of course
I feel bad for laughing so much while you had to suffer through these… but I did laugh a whole heck of a lot.
And that’s very much appreciated.
I never thought I’d see Anthony reference Doug’s 1st Movie of all things.
I'm here to be the kersploosh apologist, this game was actually quite fun when it released, crank up the 3d and enjoy the frustration of trying to finish a stage with the drop
As a fellow enthusiast of awful 3DS games, I'm quite shocked you hadn't mentioned "Horseshoe Crab Rescue" for the new 3DS line- definitely worth checking out. Apparently it was made in 2 days by a single guy in the Unity engine, and you just walk around a beach flipping horseshoe crabs. Thrilling.
I'm just glad to know I wasn't the only one who binged the dinosaur office content on 3ds when I was bored
