@@HappyLittleWorker this is sort of related but not really. I watched a video on how much video games are worth today. After inflation and larger development costs, it should be $90.
As for Nintendo's actual reasons, they have to cost the same digitally and physically. Otherwise, no one would buy physical so why release it?
@@ashercoates4345 True. But I honestly don't like buying things digitally because if a company shuts down the service that allowed you to keep the game downloaded to your system and you forget to back up save data or whatever, you can lose lots of money

“The 3ds is not powerful enough for SNES games”
Me, playing super Mario world on my ds lite
The SuperFX chip on the SNES is actually incredibly complex (it's what enabled "3d" scalable graphics as seen in star fox). By today's standard, its paltry 20MHz clock speed seems primitive, but it's magnitudes harder to emulate one graphics card on an entirely diffently structured graphics card than it is to just, you know, use that chip. So the clock speed of 120 MHz or so 3ds graphics card wouldn't be able to keep up. Although it obviously can for the not so complicated games, like Super Mario World.
Me playing Super Mario Fking 64 on my ds lite
@@goofy9697 I homebrew my 2ds, and it can run snes games. (Also its using a fan emulator)
@@nicholasmitchell6025 Super FX chip was inside the cartridge, not the console itself; including an entire second CPU in every single cartridge drove the cost to manufacture up by about $10, and few game publishers were willing to put up with that ($10 per cartridge adds up fast when you're ordering 10,000 cartridges). Making just that handful of SNES games that used the Super FX exclusive to New 3DS and making the rest available on Old would have made sense (proof: if you hack your console, 3rd party SNES emulators run them on the old 3DS just fine). Maybe they just wanted to convince people to buy New 3DSes. Who knows?
In fact, if you're willing to put up with *massive* emulation inaccuracy, and lack of compatibility with cartridge hardware such as the SuperFX, DSP-1, and others, you can run SNES games at 60FPS on your original DS.
Amateur Programmer Thank you for the correction, I was mistaken about the chip. Although I had issues trying to get any sort of decent SNES emulation on my DS, and I'm sure even for the old 3DS Nintendo wanted everything to be 100% accurate. In fact, I just did some more research and apparently they never released a single superFX game on virtual console, just mode 7 games! So it's probably just Nintendo being perfectionist/nitpicky again.
Just when I think Scott has run out of comedic material, he proves me wrong. Keep it up Scott.
He is running out of material .....but it's still funny
Felipe Solis what makes u think that
And dig dug... OH
I never think that. SCOTT THE BOSS!
He could always do more individual games.
Imagine turning your Wii Remote to the side and seeing it suddenly turn into an NES controller
that would be cool
What do you mean imagine? It happens to me all the time
@ Kindagamer The sideway joycon is a tiny SNES controller with a joystick instead of a D-pad.
The most realistic reaction would be to scream and throw the controller.
Complete with paralyzer playing
The angry mob is there because you insulted Warios Woods, not because of the 3ds cards
So we're not gonna pretend that 6:39 wasn't the *smoothest* transition we've ever seen?

The same happend with the duelshock in the game controller video
thats called a morph cut. it always looks good when the 2 pieces of footage are very similar.
@@crispy9542 ikr
6:39 Okay, could we just take a moment to appreciate this transition between classic controllers? Scott’s clearly improving on his editing skills and trying to make higher quality videos. No wonder it took a while to release this one. Well done, Scott. Keep up the good work!
Well he did say it was delayed for... uh something like « unknow reasons » but not really the term for it. Can’t see it i’m on Ipad
@@nathaelblais6249 i think the episode scott delayed had to be another episode,since he said in his comunity that the episode would release in August 11th
@ConSpirator20: Indeed.
I actually rewound the TH-cam video to watch it again.
+Con Spirator20
He did the same thing in Game Controllers.
Morph cut
If im not mistaken, Nintendo weren't satisfied with the GBA virtual console on 3DS not because the emulation wasn't good, in fact it wasnt emulation, it was 100% native because of the 3DS sharing a common architecture with the DS which had a bit of GBA DNA.
The problem was that core 3DS functions like sleep mode didn't work well with GBA mode active. Nowadays it's possible to patch the GBA roms to support sleep mode thanks to homebrew, but it's hit or miss.
Most gba games had sleep modes in them once the sp came out bruh that's a bad excuse
@@GameboyFanatic Right? Probably due to how the 3DS's sleep mode works differently. I think Nintendo didn't want to sacrifice background processes like StreetPass for GBA support. Not entirely sure though, but it's possible.
@@jooperino They could have just said streetpass wouldn't work and we would understand
@@GameboyFanatic Streetpass didn't do anything when it existed so I woulda been fine lol
That would explain it. If they can't get an emulator to work they would have to program each one of the games in one by one which is just far too expensive.
The GBA on 3DS excuse from Nintendo is kind of funny considering the 3DS actually has hardware to play GBA games, it doesn’t even have to emulate them it’s natively supported.
every night i pray for gba games on the switch
Oh, you can play them. They work flawlessly. You only need to hack your console and use a VC Injector to create a Virtual Console for any GBA (or GB/GBC/NES/SNES/SEGA...) game.
@@EvanOfTheDarkness Not all of us understand this whole "technology" thing. I'd love to home-brew and all of that but I'm a technological dolt.
@@EvanOfTheDarkness ah, makes sense
I think Nintendo is also focusing on emulator features like save states. Since the GBA is natively supported, this means no emulator features.

Wii U Virtual Console was such a mess, it was always something stupid like:
Phantom Hourglass & Spirit Tracks release simultaneously in Europe
5 months later North America only get Phantom Hourglass, then another 6 months later we finally get Spirit Tracks
Japan just gets neither of them for no reason
God tell me about it. I feel happy for Europeans since they usually get the short end of the stick but Nintendo was playing the fool
I remember hearing that Super Sluggers was finally coming out on the Virtual Console, so I was incredibly hyped.
I then found out it was still not getting released in Europe. That was the day the last bit of my soul died.
Japan didn't get them because they can still sell the for full retail price over there ds was booming more then anything else at all times
And I'm assuming they though releasing two Zelda games I'm such a short amount of time from each other was too much for pea sized American brains ....
I hate Japan sometimes
Another example was that the Sonic Advance trilogy was never released on the Wii U Virtual Console outside of Japan, even though to my knowledge, the Sonic series isn't nearly as popular there as it is in the West; this especially sucks because the only other rerelease of the first Advance game I know about was Sonic N, a port for the N-Gage that by extension doesn't have a good way to play it (you either had to play it with large borders and a small viewing space or in full screen but with stunted visibility because the N-Gage's screen is taller than it is wide, while the game was made for a screen that was wider than it was tall), and the last two never even got that, so the only legal way to play these games on something on original hardware wasn't even available to most American and European Wii U owners.
for someone who’s not a pokemon fan, Scott sure does use a lot of pokemon music in his videos
and its always the best ones

Nice use of the 3DS Eshop music, really underrated soundtrack
The winter music was my favorite. I remember just booting up the eShop on my 2DS just to listen to that song all the time.
I rarely buy stuff on the eShop. I just listen to the music, watch trailers, download tons of demos, and put random shit on my wishlist.
@@nenidetic It gave me nostalgia... why? It's just from some years ago
@@150alv The music was always my favorite part. It always puts me in a good mood every time I looked for demos and filling my wish list.

With the way you worded it, I thought the games that people buy would be gone.

@@sipp4727 Thats not emulation though.
@@sipp4727 Accurate emulation requires huge resources and the O3DS CPU is obviously too slow. There's only one homebrew SNES emulator that can run games well and fast on O3DS - but it isn't accurate like Nintendo's own SNES emulator for N3DS.

but it cant run snes games
@@juno6332 Warioware Gold runs on a 3DS because is a 3DS game.
Dude, not even homebrew devs can get them going at full speed or with perfect emulation because the Old 3DS is just too weak

Now that the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pass is coming out, I’m beginning to appreciate the Virtual Console a lot more.
🚨ANALOGY ALERT🚨
As of March 27, 2023, it will no longer be possible to make purchases in Nintendo eShop for the Wii U system and the Nintendo 3DS family of systems. It will also no longer be possible to download free content, including game demos. Furthermore, as this date draws closer, related services will cease to function:
As of May 23, 2022, it is no longer possible to use a credit card to add funds to an account in Nintendo eShop on Wii U or the Nintendo 3DS family of systems.
As of August 29, 2022, it will no longer be possible to use a Nintendo eShop Card to add funds to an account in Nintendo eShop on Wii U or the Nintendo 3DS family of systems. However, it will still be possible to redeem download codes until March 27, 2023.
Users who link their Nintendo Network ID wallet (used with Wii U and the Nintendo 3DS family of systems) with their Nintendo Account wallet (used with the Nintendo Switch family of systems) can use the shared balance to purchase content on any of these systems until March 27, 2023.
After that, the balance can only be used to purchase content for the Nintendo Switch family of systems
Like financially it’s a better deal in the long run and I guess the selection is better, but sometimes I’m a grumpy old man who just wants to simply buy a game. No subs or monthly fees, just here’s money now give me the thing.
@@WyattoonsComics actually, in the long run NSO is worse, because you spend more and end up with jack once you unsub or Nintendo axes the service

Scott said: “Due to certain circumstances, the video that was supposed to come out today (Sunday), has been delayed to Tuesday. Hope you guys understand.”
The post got a very positive response, but the reason it wasn’t seen by most people, is because community features are not see able on item’s such as iPads.

There's a key thing that the Wii U Wii releases were great for.
Some of them were quite rare, and thus very expensive to buy second hand. Xenoblade Chronicles and Metroid Prime Trilogy for example were really expensive on ebay, and quite cheap on Wii U.

Honestly scott's style of humour feels so genuine and wholesome. I don't even care too much about the games he usually talks about (cept madden 08) but I watch every upload.
For anyone wondering why GBA games were hard to get onto the 3DS, it’s because the Ambassador titles ran natively on the 3DS instead of being emulated. So Nintendo probably didn’t want to go through porting a ton more for a wide release.
And I just assume they didn’t care to release the Ambassador titles.
What I want is a release of Pokemon Soulsilver, that my nostalgia game from when I was 10
@Carter Kwakye-Safo Doesn’t matter if it’s a rerelease of a rerelease of a deluxe port, a game like Pokémon soul silver would sell like hot cakes on Switch.
@Carter Kwakye-Safo It was a remake, not a rerelease.

@@supermariof0521 Tt works fine on the original, as I own it and play it a lot. But what do I know I don't own the Wii U or PC ports.
@@julioproductions8847 There was a PC port? Or do you just mean basic emulation?
As a member of the WiiU hacking community, i can confirm that the Wii U can run Gamecube games natively (can be run without an emulator and at full speed)
true, then the Wii U would be the perfect console to play old games
@@beego9131 It kind of is. The Wii U was terribly managed during it's generation and doesn't have a lot of good exclusives imo, however, it's fucking easy as all hell to play older games. I basically have the whole of the gamecube and wii library to play thru. Not to mention Wii U games are usually pretty cheap if they aren't being artificially inflated, like most first party nintendo games.
Remember when they pulled Pikmin 3 from the Wii U eshop: an online service you literally have not been able to put money into for over a year? All because like 10 people might have potentially bought pikmin 3 for less than $60. I don't even care for pikmin that much but that's just dirty, Nintendo. Like you haven't bashed Wii U owners enough already. We still remember 2015!
69th like. I’ll have to add that somehow to my Wii U since I have GameCube games and controllers.
12:44 fun fact: not only *can* the 3ds run GBA games, it actually *does* run them natively. no emulation. NATIVELY. Although if you were to compare the implementation to later vc it's clear that they were keeping it in their back pocket when the 3ds launched, as gba games don't have save states or even sleep mode.
Input from someone with a hacked old 3DS,
earlier SNES games that used the base graphical capabilities emulated just fine, but older SNES games that used more advanced tech like the Super FX chip struggled.
I have a hacked OG 2DS and Yoshi's Island works just fine.

Like Dunkey said, "Nintendo: they're great at making games, but have no idea how to run a company."
In other words their like Disney. Just burning money without giving a shit.
@@supermariof0521 but Nintendo makes good products
It's more like Nintendo has no idea how to keep up with the times and that's in part because the people in charge of the decisions are, by now, almost 60+ years old (Miyamoto is 68 for example). They are great at making games and innovating with their consoles and controllers (kinda, the Joycons suck ass), but they suck complete and utter ass at anything considered a modern standard. Their online, online store, online app offerings, refund policies, profile options, friends, chat options and so much more are straight up from the 90s. Literally. Of all the things I listed here, the original Xbox did all of them better and just to remind you, the original Xbox came out in 2001. Nintendo is behind everyone else by at least 20 years, Let that sink in. The people in charge of their consoles and games, keep them, maybe give them a better budget (or stop being afraid of using current hardware) so that their consoles are not 1-2 gens behind anymore (seriously, I don't think anyone would be mad at a Switch with the PS4 power, for example) but their online, connectivity division? Fire them. Seriously. All of them. Or fire the guy in charge of that division because they've proven to be the very definition of incompetent or accept MS help, remember Xbox saying they wouldn't mind helping Nintendo with their online infrastructure? Just let them do it. Please.
@@TaigaGaoo The problem with the Switch is that it's also meant to be a handheld, and having PS4 power on a handheld would kill the battery, both in terms of longevity and battery life. It's hard making a chip that is both power efficient and can be safely overclocked when docked (without damaging the battery). And if you mod your switch and overclock it manually, it actually isn't that far off of a PS4.

Seeing the Wii menus in this video really bring me back. I was 10 when the Wii came out and was lucky enough to get one that Christmas. I remember dying to get one up until then and when I finally got it, it felt like the future. The virtual console, Wiiware, random Mii apps, news/weather, etc. were so fucking cool and entertaining to me as a kid. I have more nostalgia for GameCube/N64 games but the Wii brings back a ton of excitement for me
This makes me wish I’d been there for 3DS at launch. Something about revisiting/rediscovering Gameboy games because there were only a few 3DS launch games is really appealing to me. Getting the most out of your new toy. By the time I bought one, it had been out for a while and I took the virtual shop for granted.

That's the thing, they should have rather lower the price of the other NES games than just charge $2 extra for Earthbound. On top of that they decided to not release Earthbound Beginnings on 3DS FOR WHATEVER REASON.
The past era of Nintendo was really a trail of odd omissions and bad decision
I mean he probably meant that Soccer should be $3 or $4, not Mario 3 should be more than $5. I’m not saying that mario 3 isn’t a $5 value, hell I’d pay $10 for the game it’s so good, but I feel as though soccer shouldn’t cost $5. That’s a $3 value and even that’s being generous. Also the SNES classic is a thing and since it’s $80 with 21 games, with tax included that’s about $4 a game not counting modded games, meaning you could pay $80 to get Earthbound for $4 plus a lot of their awesome games along with Kirby’s dream course.
20:58 😂😂😂
I just brought earthbound on virtual concert on 2DS XL I love it chuggaaconroy introduced me to it love you Scott sending you love from Seattle Washington love your channel
Man, the 3ds E-Shop was a treasure. You looked for a simple game, and ended up buying Super Mario Bros, two Wii ware games, a Mega Man clock and lackluster Flipnote Hatena sequel.
Honestly some pretty good times.
It's crazy to think that VC is now a relic from the past. Such an amazing service that is just left to die. And now we have to pay 20 bucks for games we don't want. Albeit some games are amazing but the rest are just so... Underwhelming. I would love for this series to return to switch. #BringBackVC
It seriously makes no sense why there isn't a virtual console on the switch...
Not to mention that there are still retro games with no proper re-release. The Super Star Wars trilogy (Sure, the 1st game was released on *PS4* but this is about the Switch and I know they got released on Wii VC but come on!)? Blast Corps? Castlevania N64 games? The Lawnmower Man? The Lion King? Mega Man and Bass (No thanks for not putting it in MMLC, Capcom!)?
@Trey Hamilton exactly!!!
16:06 the top screen tv touch screen gamepad is the logical option, I mean, the WiiU is just a fancy tabletop DS in the end.
That’s basically Starfox Zero’s control scheme. The one where you have to crane your neck up and down to look at the needed screen.
As a younger adopter of classic games the wii u virtual console was a lifesend and helped introduce me into a lot of these classics. I got to play through minish cap, metroid fusion, paper mario etc. There were definitely some disappointments, but I really enjoyed it.
18:30 IM SO HAPPY IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO REMEMBERS THIS. I used to look at the wikipedia pages for virtual console games on the Wii U to see if it would ever get released, but it never did LOL. rest in piece, Yoshi's Cookie.
There's one major fault with Virtual Console:
Where are my Virtual Boy games? Both even start with the word "virtual"!
You make me sick
I actually really wanted the virtual boy titles on 3ds... Since both were 3d systems, would've been nice to play that piece of history
Just play it on your virtual boy

*Shows him the chad Wario Land Virtual Boy *
I bet you feel stupid now.
They could be remade in color
the worst thing about the Wii U virtual console is the fact that the Wii U can run GameCube games natively without emulation since it basically has a full Wii inside of it, it just can't read GameCube discs. If they sold GameCube games on the virtual console I feel like that would actually have been a big enough selling point to boost sales of the system
I have never seen this video before and until I looked at the comments,
that intro made me believe this couldn't have been more than a few months old.
Scott talking about the Wii Shop Channel always makes me tear up
So many good memories and I was genuinely sad to find out it was shutting down
You and me both.
I just realised I also say ‘Hey’ To Scott at the beginning of his videos.
Hey Scott, all here.
he can hear you , he loves it when you do it
*Sad dog noises*
k
About the Ambassador 3DS's. Some people got the best of both worlds. Some retailers started cutting their prices before the intended date. What determined whether or not you were an ambassador was connecting your 3DS to the eShop before the price cut.
Welp, it's closing soon...
cant wait for the video about it
For those that believe Nintendo when they say that SNES emulation wasn't possible on the regular 3DS due to the CPU:
It was literally possible on the DS through unofficial homebrew lmao
THANK YOU! Plus they had literal UPGRADED N64 games (Zelda 64/Starfox 64) on the regular 3DS but couldn't put 16-bit games on there. I call BS on that.
Garrett Wimberly Emulation requires a device to be multiple times more powerful than the console it’s emulating. Of course the n64 remakes worked because they were made specifically with the 3DS in mind. Some SNES games worked but some just couldn’t work on the regular 3DS
@@nitinanku don't bother explaining. People don't seem to understand the difference between a port and hardware emulation and most don't seem interested in learning either
Even then, the CPU of the 3DS was far more advanced than the SNES.
nintendo what the hell are you doing!?
@@nitinanku c'mon i've emulated snes games on my ds and psp 13 years ago what the hell?
The Switch NEEDS the virtual console, its the perfect system for it.
We aren't getting it...that was a branding from Iwata's era...it's not his era sadly anymore.
Hack your console. Nintendo isn't going to do the right thing. Why should you? When I can repurchase and download my old games legally, I'll quit doing it illegally. Simple solution to a simple problem.
*cough cough*
Switch isn't backwards compatible with any of the previous consoles, which means everything has to be emulated, which means a lot of the games like 3DS games/GameCube games/Wii games are never going to appear on the Switch unless they do it from scratch/they somehow still have the source code of those games
*cough cough*
@@marx4538 The 3ds and Wii aren't worth emulating because of their unique hardware. GameCube games work well on a modified Switch. Why wait and pay Nintendo to do what I can do better for myself?
@@ARCSYS4049
GameCube games work well on a Switch? Using emulation, porting or what? Because i don't think that Switch is able to emulate GameCube lol
I just got an ad on this it was just the first 5 seconds of the Rick roll video LOL
Great content as always man
The wii virtual console is so great! I can't wait to go in the wii shop and download a bunch of games!
Rip
:(
F
i have depression now

I don’t understand why they aren’t just selling all the N64, GameCube, and Wii games
I wanna replay some of those Older Mario Parties 😭
Even to this day Mario Party 3 is my favorite!
Dont play Mario Party 1 unless you want your hand to bleed
I really don't get why Nintendo C&D or sue Emulators website when they themself never even re release them. I love Nintendo but sometimes they are idiots.
@@LightBluly Exactly this, we have to emulate all of Nintendo's games because they won't let us buy them legally. People who think that you shouldn't emulate stuff you don't own need to understand that
mario party 6 is the best that's fax
Fun fact: The 3DS runs GBA natively
The transition from the Wii classic to classic pro blew my mind
2:04 _Feeding Frenzy:_ *- _ -* | _Dig Dug:_ *O H !*
6:39 Dang that edit was really cool
It's a fun game, he hates it
Thanks for pointing it out. Didn't even notice that slick edit.
Feeding frenzy is life feeding frenzy is all, he has chosen to disrespect feeding frenzy and will some day pay for this mistake.
He better put some respek on Feeding Frenzy's name, that was my whole childhood
I love feeding frenzy and 2 do much lol I played them 24/7 when I was younger. I love the difficulty of the first despite it being frustrating.
Absolutely love your sense of humor man. It was great seeing you on the AVGN as well. Keep up the hard/great work amigo.
Wait, was Scott really on an AVGN episode!?
@@Swaglordfawful No, but he was on 2 episodes of James and Mike Mondays, and a Rental Review of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. So he was on Cinemassacre, just not AVGN.
Scott the woz was the only good thing in the James and mike
man your videos are so entertaining
That controller transition man... smooth
