Wii Fit 3D on the go. Edited by Sam Essig and Scott Wozniak Main Channel: @ScottTheWoz Twitter: / scottthewoz Facebook: / scottthewoz Instagram: / scottthewoz
The 3DS was always pushing its power with these ports and the newer games as it went on. The full xenoblade 1 portable? Was insane for its time. 3DS had a rocky start, but it always kept trying with its titles as each year went on until switch.
Out of the all of the ports and remakes for the 3ds, i think super paper mario was the missed opportunity. In the game you could switch between 2d and 3d. This with the 3d effect of the console would have been of much help to hint you clues and maybe puzzles.
You just blew my mind ! I want this so badly now. Tippi could be controlled with the stylus and all the dialogue could be on the bottom screen so to not have the top screen to cumbersome
I still can't believe it's been a decade since we were blessed with The Year of Luigi. It just seemed like yesterday I was working at K-Mart and purchased Dark Moon for the first time there. Good times...
It's funny because the 3DS actually had a more modern GPU (albeit still lower clock speed) that allowed for more modern lighting effects such as normal maps. The Resident Evil Games on 3DS for example actually looked like legit PS360 games at times (at 240p lol). Starfox, Street Fighter IV, Tekken, and Nanostray (among others) were also doing stuff the Wii couldn't pull off graphically. Overall I was pretty satisfied with 3DS graphics - a much more impressive jump from the DS than the Wii was from the GCN.
Also I like how the top screen is widescreen, and also the fact that they have some actually pretty great ports of N64, Wii and Wii U games (only one out of these I own is Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World, I've beaten it once and I love it)
@@traviscunningham7062 Almost every Nintendo handheld kinda feels like a portable version of an older home console GBA is portable SNES, 3DS is portable Wii and Switch is portable Wii U it's pretty cool
Are we not gonna mention 22:25? "... the same thing we experienced with the Nintendo Switch in 2023 and 2024 as that system began winding down." Scott is really going the extra mile to make sure this video ages well XD
The hell you mean "we not gonna mention blah blah" You commented like 2 hours after the video dropped. Just chill out. Plus games that are releasing in 2024 have been announced.
@@yikes6969 2 hours after a 30 minute video released, and nobody was talking about it. By the time I commented, you could've watched the video roughly 4 times (and could've gotten to that part roughly 6 times). He also talked about it in the past tense, as if it already happened, and it was a friggin "blink and you miss it" kinda thing.
Very impressive how Scott is able to port a full Scott The Woz episode on Scott's stash. I'm being serious these quick thought videos got so much more effort than credit is given.
I remember buying Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D as a kid and thinking it was a completely new and different game to the Wii version. It took me a while to realize that it was just a port of the Wii game.
I think Scott’s way off base here about Pilotwings Resort. It’s a full, proper Pilotwings game with the resort flyover as just a tacked on extra. It takes a fair amount of effort to unlock all the stages and get three stars on them. It’s basically the same idea as SNES and N64 Pilotwings, and it works perfectly here. It’s definitely one of my favorite 3DS games.
Agreed; after I finished Pilotwings Resort with all 3-star ratings I was more than full on Pilotwings, so much that I don't think I need another game in that series for a while.
Correct, Pilotwings always was a technical demo to show the capabilities of the new console. Pilotwings Resorts has a great 3D effect, and as you said, it can be pretty difficult to complete the game 100%.
The Xenoblade port to the 3DS was amazing , to fit a game that big with in depth works on a tiny chip is insane. It was insane on the Wii but blew my mind on the 3DS
i just wish they had made a save-game-transfer app for Xenoblade 3DS to Wii and versa vice the same way they did with Monster Hunter 4 on 3DS, able to transfer saves to Wii U and back.
I fell in love with Xenoblade thanks to the 3DS port. I know it’s not perfect; but it was great for someone who’s as always enthralled by the things I’d seen from Xeno but could never find the Wii copy
The 3ds version of rayman origins was such a letdown. Instead of just adapting the game to the console's limitations, they just compressed the hell out of the graphics and sounds, and STILL the game ran horribly. Too many compromises for a version of the game that doesn't do justice to the beautiful art and soundtrack.
The next sequels to this vídeo: ●Wii U Games on 3DS. ●N64 Games on 3DS. ●Gamecube Games on 3DS. ●DS Games on 3DS. ●3DS Games on Switch ●Wii Games on Nintendo Switch. Right?
I would have loved to see Nintendo make a remake of Super Mario 64 on 3DS similar to how they remade Ocarina of Time and Star Fox 64. I know that Mario 64 already had a version on the DS, but they could have truly made the best version of the game on it.
If I remember correctly back in 2019 there had been some rumors about a Mario 64 3DS Remake, would’ve been interesting, also didn’t stop Rayman 2 from being on both the DS & 3DS so it could’ve happened
Didn't you read the full article? They stop including Scott in Wii U Sales, you see. The buyer was actually the guy behind Scott in line at the store, he just said "I'll have what he's having"
It still baffles me that Nintendo had to make an entirely New Nintendo 3DS in order to run Xenoblade Chronicles Wii on it but also sacrifice some graphics aswell because base 3DS wasn't outputting enough power but the extra content added tho on the Port was a pretty damn good addtion.
the psvita version of rayman origins is actually great. it’s pretty much 100% uncompromised (except multiplayer i think). you can tap a lot of the stage elements or pop the lum bubbles with the touch screen so you don’t actually have to walk up to them and physically interact with them. i think it makes for a much more synergistic gameplay experience than the console versions.
I thought it was ingenious the games they decided to port from Wii to 3DS, all of the games were bangers and really helped introduce it to a new audience.
My favorite tidbit about DKC Returns 3D and Xenoblade 3D is that they were both created by a local game studio called Monster Games! Super impressed by their work on both, especially that they were even able to get Xenoblade running on a 3DS at all.
My ass did not finish watching the video before commenting this but I’m very glad that Scott brought them up during the XB3D section, definitely deserve the credit and shout out
I love to hear you talk about 3DS games like this. There are so many I don’t know about I feel like Rayman is very similar to the Ori games. Something about the floatiness of jumping is so good
Rhythm Heaven Megamix was quickly mentioned here but it's actually even more prevalent for this topic than it may seem. They recreated almost every minigame from the Wii entry. In fact, from the game's files it sounds like they might've originally planned it to be a port of the Wii game before they decided to make something different.
The reason Ohio has so many retro game stores is that if you live in Ohio your family meets with you and makes you pick a new hobby after your micro brewing phase gets too out of control. Other acceptable paths include roller coasters and college football.
The 3DS port of Xenoblade got me into the series and Xenoblade 3’s in my top 3 games ever so I gotta thank it for providing me an affordable way to play XC1. I also kinda love how it looks, something about it is just charming to me.
So happy seeing DKCR getting the recognition it deserves. It's perfect under every aspect: gameplay, looks, MUSIC, difficulty, atmosphere, you name it. Definetly THE BEST 2d platformer of all time.
finished it recently and it is actually really fair. starts pretty easy, gets a little harder and by the endgame is challenging but not hard. great game, but tropical freeze is just better in everything that dkc returns (3d) does.
xenoblade 3D is so important to me bc it was the only way I could play xenoblade back in the day. Also the fact that it has a sound gallery is amazing and i'm so mad definitive edition didn't bring it back
It feels like a common trend with Xenoblade is making something that feels like it shouldn't be possible. How does Xenoblade 1 fit on a Wii disc? How does Xenoblade 3 not just shit the bed with the framerate all the time? How does Xenoblade X exist? These games are true technical marvels, and they're fantastic JRPGs too.
3:26 Pilotwings Resort 5:14 Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D 12:21 Rayman Origins 16:33 Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games 19:18 Kirby’s Extra Epic Yarn 27:28 Xenoblade Chronicles 3D 31:12 Honorable Mentions
I think Xenoblade Chronicles 3D was the real entry point for all the fans, because I remember reviewers on YT raving about Xenoblade on the Wii but very few people I knew got to play it or even own it for how rare it was, but when it came out on 3DS it paved the way for the sequels on Switch, so I think it has its merit for giving relevance to the franchise, but of course if people want to get into Xenoblade Chronicles they are better of getting the Switch version, the 3DS version looks rough, it works, but it looks rough.
Monster Hunter 3U even had CROSSPLAY! A Wii U game, running natively on underpowered handheld hardware. It was so awesome. Could use the 3ds as a controller for Sm4sh, too (just a shame that's the only game that could do it. I'd have loved if Mario Kart could😅)
"Don't think of goddam Mario for 20 seconds" Yeah, I think that's impossible for Nintendo fans. Heck if a flashy new 3D Donkey Kong came out, they'd probably complain that it wasn't Super Mario Odyssey 2.
I bought my 2dsXL as Nintendo was discontinuing them on their website. I only spent 99.99 on it and even without modding it the console is amazing. After modding it's friggin amazing, I'm going on 3 years with it now and I still play 4+ times a week.
Other Wii ports: - Amazing Spider-Man - Spider-Man: Edge of Time - Green Lantern Rise of the Manhunters - Transformers: Dark of the Moon - Battleship - TMNT 2012 - Captain America - Thor - Michael Jackson: The Experience - Barbie
The thing that always frustrated me about Extra Epic Yarn is that it seemed like the perfect wii game to see in 3D, especially if it was released on 3DS as opposed to the Switch.... and it was playable in 2D ONLY.
25:00 Crash 1 and 2 on the Crash Bandicoot N-Sane Trilogy suffer from this. At first you think it's really cool that time trials were added to these games, like they were on 3... until you actually play it. The levels in Crash 3 were designed to be speedran and have less focus on precision platforming. The levels in Crash 1 and 2 were designed for precision platforming, so they're not supposed to be rushed. While your times in 3 are fully based on skill, the goal times in 1 and 2 are brutal and based on luck.
There are speculations that Rhythm Heaven Megamix was originally going to be a 3DS version of Fever. Rhythm Heaven Megamix is basically a celebration of the entire franchise. So there are a lot of songs for every game in the franchise. The funny thing is that for the first two games there are a lot fewer songs compared to Fever; since almost every song (or maybe even all of them) from Fever are in Megamix. Not only that, but in the game's file you can find the song for Fever's Remix 10 which went unused in the game. So it is possible that this was originally going to be a port of Fever on the 3DS, but later changed to be a celebration for the entire franchise.
Surprised Rodea the Sky Soldier wasn't mentioned, as that's one of my absolute favorite weird stories I believe Scott's mentioned before; Rodea was on WiiU, but they included an extra copy of the Wii version in-box, and released day & date alongside the 3DS version.
i spent like a 140 hours playing xenoblade on the 3ds. it might be super blurry but it still hooked me with the art direction and atmosphere, it's still a beautiful game
When it comes to Xenoblade Chronicles 3D you forgot to mention that it is the only version of the 1st game that has amiibo support. The shulk amiibo can be used once a day to get in game coins to use in gacha coins for new music to hear and models to view in the music player and model viewer to raffle. It baffles me the definitive version omitted that music and model modes and also the amiibo functionality. I know the 3ds version gets a ton of flack but its still my preferred way to play the game lol Also that 3ds eShop music at the end got me very nostalgic. Its my favorite eshop track besides the wii shop music. Good times
I mean Nintendo sorta did it to themselves. The gba had TONS of snes remakes, and then the ds had Mario 64 ds at launch. The 3DS was questionable to me as I believe GCN still has better graphics.
I have a friend who has only ever played Xenoblade 1 on the New 3DS. So thankful I waited until the Switch port, cause that seems like you'd lose a lot of the magic of playing it on a tv since it's such a big game. Also the remastered ost was worth the wait too, those arrangements are so good.
@jaykelley103 I mean, I bet it's fine because the game itself is that good, but I'm glad I waited for the definitive experience. The game is so long I'll probably never play it again, but for what it's worth, that first playthrough will always remain in my mind.
@@legoboy7107 I wonder how he would get 23 minutes on it. He'll probably take 3 minutes to rant how the N64 Z Button was used in place of the L button in most games.
I feel like Scott is teaching his friends how to edit. If you look at the descriptions of the last few videos, some are credited. I feel like Scott might be hiring them as editors for the main channel at some point to get videos out faster.
It actually sounds like it works better in some ways. Since the D-Pad is on the remote instead of the Nunchuk, you can move around while selecting your arts without having to do a claw grip or something and that sounds nice.
I'm honestly surprised you didn't even once mention Super Smash Bros. Yea, yea I get it, a lot of people have an issue with the 4th entry in the SSB line for a million and a half reasons, but . . . come on, it was the first-ever SSB on a *_handheld._* Like, thats something immense right there just for the portability alone. Add to it the fact they're more or less the same exact game with very minor differences (mostly in terms of stages and a few minigames), and it had great graphics almost comparable to the Wii U version (even if harder to see), and it's pretty impressive they managed to make it run on a Handheld at all, let alone with good performance *_and_* not requiring the "New" version of the 3DS; it could run just fine on the original one. In fact that was what prompted me to even get back into the 3DS; I had one lying around that my old girlfriend bought me years ago. Never used it much but had some games I played occasionally through the years for it. It was a launch version and very old, but ran flawlessly and had almost no physical problems with it, barely even a scratch. Heard about them shutting down the eShop, and a few trips down the rabbit hole after it sat in my storage for a few years and I realized all the awesome stuff I could get on it that I absolutely felt needed to be preserved for if I ever wanted to play a game system completely disconnected from the rest of the world. . . . Now I have a brand-new, pretty-certain-it-was-never-played "New" 3DS XL I somehow managed to find off Ebay for an absolute steal, and a ton of games for it I never thought I'd ever own. Just because. I personally like the 3DS. It was a very pleasing little system and had a very cozy, feel-good air to it. After all, it might be the last truly dedicated handheld Nintendo ever makes again, and certainly the last one where we'll ever have entire games on the cartridge again. The simple fact it's not a slave to the servers of a giant corporation is reason enough to own these old consoles.
Pilotwings is one of the best Examples of using 3D to help the Player to see the distance better how far away rings are. The depts of 3D here is also incredible high. (in later Games they sadly reduced the 3D, even if you have the option to regulate this for yourself) I know not many ppl like playing with 3D on, but i think this Game is one, that should be playing with 3D, giving you the best experience.
Yeah, I always felt that Galaxy 2 and 3D Land were more similar asthetically than any other unrelated Mario games, barring maybe Sunshine and Kart Double Dash.
It's weird to think about how Nintendo has always had handhelds that could do console strength after about 2 generations. Like, SNES could probably be done on GBA, DS started being N64, and this
GBC ~ NES GBA ~ SNES NDS ~ N64 new3DS ~ GameCube (not quite) NSwitch ~ WiiU ... ... The 2024 New Nintendo Super Switch...? Probably around the same performance as the PS4 Pro, about x6 slower or less capable than the 2020 Xbox Series X, or maybe x8 slower than the 2025 PS5 Pro.
@@jesusramirezromo2037 Yeah, that was the most frustrating part. The NSwitch came out the same period when the PS4 Pro came out. And it wasn't even close to the performance of the XB1 which was stated to be underpowered by the whole community. The NSwitch releasing in 2017 was much closer to the performance of the 2005 Xbox 360. Meanwhile, in Early 2016 we saw the release of the Xiaomi Mi 5, which was slightly cheaper than the NSwitch but had more expensive components (SoC, Screen, Camera, etc etc). And the Xiaomi Mi 5 had less avenue for alternate revenue streams. Meaning the NSwitch was a cash-grab for Nintendo from the beginning. I could excuse it much more IF the device had huge constraints due to being made pocketable BUT it was not, it is fairly sizeable and is merely a portable device. Compare it to another portable device like the A10X chipset in the iPad that released alongside the NSwitch to get a better idea of how much performance and battery life that the consumers were missing out on. I fear that in Late 2024 The New Nintendo Super Switch will follow the same recipe. It might be on-par with the performance of the 2017 PS4 Pro, roughly x6 slower than the current 2020 Xbox Series X, or roughly x8 slower than the 2025 PS5 Pro. All rumoured and estimated, obviously.
@@ekintekoeh. some corrections - gbc is probably not as powerful as the nes. it can do some weird crap that the nes can't (such as a doom clone? yeah.) but it can't do as many sprites as the nes. 3ds was advertised as being about as powerful as the gcn at launch. n3ds probably could actually stand toe to toe with the gcn quite nicely.
I will stand by the fact that Mario and Sonic Vancouver Winter Games DS is the best Mario and Sonic game, so much fun to be had and easily the best DS mini-game collection.
_"Don't think of goddamn Mario for like 20 seconds"_ Scott, my life is like 80% Mario, you can not force his name out of my mind even if you tried really hard
I know I say it a lot, but I really want another handheld like the 3DS. It’s one of my favorite Nintendo consoles and I’m beyond devastated that Nintendo is hammering the final nail on its coffin.
Xenoblade 3d is one of the craziest ports ever made. Its really such a large game and the frame rate was pretty stable all things considering. Id really say the only downgrade compared to the wii is the resolution which still blows my mind.
Wreck-it Ralph also released on Wii and 3DS (as well as DS) and all versions are identical, there’s also Rodea the Sky Soldier also came out on Wii, Wii U and 3DS, just a couple of examples at the top of my head.
The Wii U version of Rodea is actually a port of he 3ds version not the other way around, hence the low quality textures. The 3ds version was planned from the beginning and due to unknown circumstances Kadokawa decided to port the 3ds version to the wii u. The Wii version is the only good version and it's an entirely different game. Even the dialogue is different.
This video made me wonder about older titles from non Nintendo platforms on 3DS. The only ones that I can personally think of are MGS3D Snake Eater, Tales of the Abyss and Super Street Fighter IV.
The definitive edition of Xenoblade chronicles 1 is why I want a Switch eventually. The New 3ds was the only way I played the game so far. Its still good
He's so right about Rayman Origins. You can get away with blurriness in 3D games, in fact it can make them look better in some ways by smoothing out rough edges (e.g., the N64 did this on purpose), but for 2D games and especially a game like Rayman that was designed for HD, you need a crystal clear screen. Even the DS would have been subpar lol. The 3DS version was a massive disappointment. It's almost unplayable. Like Scott said, you can barely even see what anything is. Being released after the Vita version was a complete joke.
The 3DS was always pushing its power with these ports and the newer games as it went on. The full xenoblade 1 portable? Was insane for its time. 3DS had a rocky start, but it always kept trying with its titles as each year went on until switch.
I ordered Xenoblade for the 3DS from GameStop and they sent me the Definitive Edition for the Switch… 😁
It had to keep Nintendo afloat while the WiiU was drowning
@@realssanne 100%. I think the 3DS was the life support for Nintendo and without it, Nintendo might not have survived until Switch.
How we got Metroid Federation Force on the same handheld baffled me
That was for the new 3ds if it was released for the 3ds it would have run worse than mgs3
Out of the all of the ports and remakes for the 3ds, i think super paper mario was the missed opportunity.
In the game you could switch between 2d and 3d.
This with the 3d effect of the console would have been of much help to hint you clues and maybe puzzles.

the psvita version of rayman origins is actually great. it’s pretty much 100% uncompromised (except multiplayer i think). you can tap a lot of the stage elements or pop the lum bubbles with the touch screen so you don’t actually have to walk up to them and physically interact with them. i think it makes for a much more synergistic gameplay experience than the console versions.
Yeah, the only downside is that there’s no multiplayer
Loved the Vita version. Was beautiful on my brother's OLED vita
I thought it was ingenious the games they decided to port from Wii to 3DS, all of the games were bangers and really helped introduce it to a new audience.
My favorite tidbit about DKC Returns 3D and Xenoblade 3D is that they were both created by a local game studio called Monster Games! Super impressed by their work on both, especially that they were even able to get Xenoblade running on a 3DS at all.
My ass did not finish watching the video before commenting this but I’m very glad that Scott brought them up during the XB3D section, definitely deserve the credit and shout out
Nigga local to what?
It didnt it was on the new 3ds if it was on 3ds it would been much worse since it has a significantly worse cpu and gpu
They also developed Pilotwings Resort!!!!
They also worked on various NASCAR games throughout the years and are now owned by iRacing
I love to hear you talk about 3DS games like this. There are so many I don’t know about
I feel like Rayman is very similar to the Ori games. Something about the floatiness of jumping is so good
Rhythm Heaven Megamix was quickly mentioned here but it's actually even more prevalent for this topic than it may seem. They recreated almost every minigame from the Wii entry. In fact, from the game's files it sounds like they might've originally planned it to be a port of the Wii game before they decided to make something different.
Considering it was a really late Wii release, it would've made sense to port it on the 3DS
what do you mean about the game's files
@@cauapereira1019The music for the title screen and Remix 10 from Fever are present but unused in Megamix
Anouncing a Donkey Kong game on Valentine Day... you're not telling me Nintendo didn't know Donkey Kong was the enemy of virginity after that.
The reason Ohio has so many retro game stores is that if you live in Ohio your family meets with you and makes you pick a new hobby after your micro brewing phase gets too out of control. Other acceptable paths include roller coasters and college football.
The 3DS port of Xenoblade got me into the series and Xenoblade 3’s in my top 3 games ever so I gotta thank it for providing me an affordable way to play XC1. I also kinda love how it looks, something about it is just charming to me.
So happy seeing DKCR getting the recognition it deserves. It's perfect under every aspect: gameplay, looks, MUSIC, difficulty, atmosphere, you name it. Definetly THE BEST 2d platformer of all time.
One of Nintendo’s many ports to keep the 3ds in the late 2010s.
That DKC Returns port ❤
finished it recently and it is actually really fair. starts pretty easy, gets a little harder and by the endgame is challenging but not hard. great game, but tropical freeze is just better in everything that dkc returns (3d) does.
xenoblade 3D is so important to me bc it was the only way I could play xenoblade back in the day. Also the fact that it has a sound gallery is amazing and i'm so mad definitive edition didn't bring it back
Thanks for the weekly Scott Stash Fix! ❤
It feels like a common trend with Xenoblade is making something that feels like it shouldn't be possible. How does Xenoblade 1 fit on a Wii disc? How does Xenoblade 3 not just shit the bed with the framerate all the time? How does Xenoblade X exist? These games are true technical marvels, and they're fantastic JRPGs too.

Slave mentality
I think Xenoblade Chronicles 3D was the real entry point for all the fans, because I remember reviewers on YT raving about Xenoblade on the Wii but very few people I knew got to play it or even own it for how rare it was, but when it came out on 3DS it paved the way for the sequels on Switch, so I think it has its merit for giving relevance to the franchise, but of course if people want to get into Xenoblade Chronicles they are better of getting the Switch version, the 3DS version looks rough, it works, but it looks rough.
Monster Hunter 3U even had CROSSPLAY! A Wii U game, running natively on underpowered handheld hardware. It was so awesome. Could use the 3ds as a controller for Sm4sh, too (just a shame that's the only game that could do it. I'd have loved if Mario Kart could😅)
What better way to experience the year of Luigi than to play this game with “2 whole monkeys!” Scott always nails it
Spider-Man Edge of time also got a 3DS port which was basically the same as the home console versions
Was about to comment this
Thank GOD this isn’t the WiiU games on 3DS because I would f*cking scream, but I won’t because this is Wii games
"Don't think of goddam Mario for 20 seconds"
Yeah, I think that's impossible for Nintendo fans. Heck if a flashy new 3D Donkey Kong came out, they'd probably complain that it wasn't Super Mario Odyssey 2.
I bought my 2dsXL as Nintendo was discontinuing them on their website. I only spent 99.99 on it and even without modding it the console is amazing. After modding it's friggin amazing, I'm going on 3 years with it now and I still play 4+ times a week.
Other Wii ports:
- Amazing Spider-Man
- Spider-Man: Edge of Time
- Green Lantern Rise of the Manhunters
- Transformers: Dark of the Moon
- Battleship
- TMNT 2012
- Captain America
- Thor
- Michael Jackson: The Experience
- Barbie
Honestly how they made the entirety of Xenoblade work a 3ds was the most insane news I’ve ever heard about the 3ds
The ability of playing DKCR without motion controls is one of the reasons for which I love the 3DS version
Toads treasure tracker on 3ds was fucking awesome
you are a life savior with those videos. i love to listen to ur “3ds” talks❤️
Lore: Scott likes to go to Cincinnati
The thing that always frustrated me about Extra Epic Yarn is that it seemed like the perfect wii game to see in 3D, especially if it was released on 3DS as opposed to the Switch.... and it was playable in 2D ONLY.
Super paper Mario would be amazing on 3DS, especially with the visual dimensional angles and whatnot
Scott is the first white boy with swag
Remember: Mario Kart Wii had a special 3DS port made in 2010 that was not released to the public
My first Xenoblade Chronicles experience was the 3DS port. I regret nothing!
25:00 Crash 1 and 2 on the Crash Bandicoot N-Sane Trilogy suffer from this. At first you think it's really cool that time trials were added to these games, like they were on 3... until you actually play it. The levels in Crash 3 were designed to be speedran and have less focus on precision platforming. The levels in Crash 1 and 2 were designed for precision platforming, so they're not supposed to be rushed. While your times in 3 are fully based on skill, the goal times in 1 and 2 are brutal and based on luck.
Captain toad was always a crazy one for 3ds bc it was technically a Wii U game
There are speculations that Rhythm Heaven Megamix was originally going to be a 3DS version of Fever.
Rhythm Heaven Megamix is basically a celebration of the entire franchise. So there are a lot of songs for every game in the franchise. The funny thing is that for the first two games there are a lot fewer songs compared to Fever; since almost every song (or maybe even all of them) from Fever are in Megamix. Not only that, but in the game's file you can find the song for Fever's Remix 10 which went unused in the game. So it is possible that this was originally going to be a port of Fever on the 3DS, but later changed to be a celebration for the entire franchise.
Who else still plays their 3ds? Am i alone lol
Ur not alone
No buddy. Not until next year.
nope we're still here
Surprised Rodea the Sky Soldier wasn't mentioned, as that's one of my absolute favorite weird stories I believe Scott's mentioned before; Rodea was on WiiU, but they included an extra copy of the Wii version in-box, and released day & date alongside the 3DS version.
I bought a new 3DS this year because of videos like this and I love the little system!!
i spent like a 140 hours playing xenoblade on the 3ds. it might be super blurry but it still hooked me with the art direction and atmosphere, it's still a beautiful game
When it comes to Xenoblade Chronicles 3D you forgot to mention that it is the only version of the 1st game that has amiibo support. The shulk amiibo can be used once a day to get in game coins to use in gacha coins for new music to hear and models to view in the music player and model viewer to raffle. It baffles me the definitive version omitted that music and model modes and also the amiibo functionality. I know the 3ds version gets a ton of flack but its still my preferred way to play the game lol
Also that 3ds eShop music at the end got me very nostalgic. Its my favorite eshop track besides the wii shop music. Good times
The way you describe DK Country being not difficult sounds like me when I tell my friends Dark Souls isn't that hard lmao.
scott got the ohio rizz
Glad to know I'm not the only one who made the GBA to SNES, DS to N64, 3DS to GameCube comparisons.
I mean Nintendo sorta did it to themselves. The gba had TONS of snes remakes, and then the ds had Mario 64 ds at launch. The 3DS was questionable to me as I believe GCN still has better graphics.
@@TimDespairBear11snes had better graphics and sound than gba, n64 had better graphics than ds...
I have a friend who has only ever played Xenoblade 1 on the New 3DS. So thankful I waited until the Switch port, cause that seems like you'd lose a lot of the magic of playing it on a tv since it's such a big game. Also the remastered ost was worth the wait too, those arrangements are so good.
Nah the 3ds version is fire, I played it for free by stealing it for my hacked 3ds
@jaykelley103 I mean, I bet it's fine because the game itself is that good, but I'm glad I waited for the definitive experience. The game is so long I'll probably never play it again, but for what it's worth, that first playthrough will always remain in my mind.
@@UltimateTS64 yah I'll prolly never play it again either. Maybe when I'm old and senile 😂
I think a proper Scott the Woz vid on 100% games could be neat. Since some games are better (or worst) if you do.
i agree, he should base it around the 100% achievement or the platinum trophy
I'd like to see him talking about the hell of 100%ing Crash 4.
@@Dad_Shoes I'd like to see him talk about the L Button.
@@legoboy7107 True
@@legoboy7107 I wonder how he would get 23 minutes on it. He'll probably take 3 minutes to rant how the N64 Z Button was used in place of the L button in most games.
I feel like Scott is teaching his friends how to edit. If you look at the descriptions of the last few videos, some are credited.
I feel like Scott might be hiring them as editors for the main channel at some point to get videos out faster.
scott confirmed that he's been doing that since last year, just that he's only now going back and crediting everyone
@@twolve ah
Well I haven't even noticed until it was pointed out, so they're doing a good job
Scott future proofing this video by talking about 2023-2024 in the past tense, I see you Woz.
You've opened my eyes to the idea of playing Xenoblade with the wii remote and nun chuck and that thought will forever haunt me.
It works better than you'd think.
It actually sounds like it works better in some ways. Since the D-Pad is on the remote instead of the Nunchuk, you can move around while selecting your arts without having to do a claw grip or something and that sounds nice.
That would be cool, but no camera control sounds like a NIGHTMARE @@totalradlad
Xenoblade Chronicles 3D was one of the first games i bought when I started my job it was so cool to experience that game.
Captain America
Green Lantern
SpongeBob Squigglepants
- all 3 are the same on 3DS and Wii.
I'm honestly surprised you didn't even once mention Super Smash Bros.
Yea, yea I get it, a lot of people have an issue with the 4th entry in the SSB line for a million and a half reasons, but . . . come on, it was the first-ever SSB on a *_handheld._* Like, thats something immense right there just for the portability alone. Add to it the fact they're more or less the same exact game with very minor differences (mostly in terms of stages and a few minigames), and it had great graphics almost comparable to the Wii U version (even if harder to see), and it's pretty impressive they managed to make it run on a Handheld at all, let alone with good performance *_and_* not requiring the "New" version of the 3DS; it could run just fine on the original one.
In fact that was what prompted me to even get back into the 3DS; I had one lying around that my old girlfriend bought me years ago. Never used it much but had some games I played occasionally through the years for it. It was a launch version and very old, but ran flawlessly and had almost no physical problems with it, barely even a scratch. Heard about them shutting down the eShop, and a few trips down the rabbit hole after it sat in my storage for a few years and I realized all the awesome stuff I could get on it that I absolutely felt needed to be preserved for if I ever wanted to play a game system completely disconnected from the rest of the world.
. . . Now I have a brand-new, pretty-certain-it-was-never-played "New" 3DS XL I somehow managed to find off Ebay for an absolute steal, and a ton of games for it I never thought I'd ever own. Just because.
I personally like the 3DS. It was a very pleasing little system and had a very cozy, feel-good air to it. After all, it might be the last truly dedicated handheld Nintendo ever makes again, and certainly the last one where we'll ever have entire games on the cartridge again. The simple fact it's not a slave to the servers of a giant corporation is reason enough to own these old consoles.
Pilotwings is one of the best Examples of using 3D to help the Player to see the distance better how far away rings are.
The depts of 3D here is also incredible high. (in later Games they sadly reduced the 3D, even if you have the option to regulate this for yourself)
I know not many ppl like playing with 3D on, but i think this Game is one, that should be playing with 3D, giving you the best experience.
i giggle and kick my feet every time scott uploads
Is that you Drake?
Super Mario Galaxy 2 was actually planned to have a 3DS Port but they decided development should go to Super Mario 3D Land.
If we had Super Mario Galaxy on the 3DS omg I'd have a blaaaaast.
Yeah, I always felt that Galaxy 2 and 3D Land were more similar asthetically than any other unrelated Mario games, barring maybe Sunshine and Kart Double Dash.
I even like to call 3D Land: Mario Galaxy Portable!
It's weird to think about how Nintendo has always had handhelds that could do console strength after about 2 generations. Like, SNES could probably be done on GBA, DS started being N64, and this
He literally said that in the beginning
GBC ~ NES
GBA ~ SNES
NDS ~ N64
new3DS ~ GameCube (not quite)
NSwitch ~ WiiU
... ...
The 2024 New Nintendo Super Switch...? Probably around the same performance as the PS4 Pro, about x6 slower or less capable than the 2020 Xbox Series X, or maybe x8 slower than the 2025 PS5 Pro.
Even applies to the switch, Being two generations behind, With it being closet to a portable PS3/Xbox360
@@jesusramirezromo2037 Yeah, that was the most frustrating part. The NSwitch came out the same period when the PS4 Pro came out. And it wasn't even close to the performance of the XB1 which was stated to be underpowered by the whole community. The NSwitch releasing in 2017 was much closer to the performance of the 2005 Xbox 360.
Meanwhile, in Early 2016 we saw the release of the Xiaomi Mi 5, which was slightly cheaper than the NSwitch but had more expensive components (SoC, Screen, Camera, etc etc). And the Xiaomi Mi 5 had less avenue for alternate revenue streams. Meaning the NSwitch was a cash-grab for Nintendo from the beginning. I could excuse it much more IF the device had huge constraints due to being made pocketable BUT it was not, it is fairly sizeable and is merely a portable device. Compare it to another portable device like the A10X chipset in the iPad that released alongside the NSwitch to get a better idea of how much performance and battery life that the consumers were missing out on.
I fear that in Late 2024 The New Nintendo Super Switch will follow the same recipe. It might be on-par with the performance of the 2017 PS4 Pro, roughly x6 slower than the current 2020 Xbox Series X, or roughly x8 slower than the 2025 PS5 Pro. All rumoured and estimated, obviously.
@@ekintekoeh. some corrections - gbc is probably not as powerful as the nes. it can do some weird crap that the nes can't (such as a doom clone? yeah.) but it can't do as many sprites as the nes. 3ds was advertised as being about as powerful as the gcn at launch. n3ds probably could actually stand toe to toe with the gcn quite nicely.
Finally, Scott talked about Xenoblade
I will stand by the fact that Mario and Sonic Vancouver Winter Games DS is the best Mario and Sonic game, so much fun to be had and easily the best DS mini-game collection.
_"Don't think of goddamn Mario for like 20 seconds"_
Scott, my life is like 80% Mario, you can not force his name out of my mind even if you tried really hard
Npc comment
As someone who used to live in Ohio, they do have some great games stores there
these give the same vibes as ps2 games on psp, but without the novelty
Loved the little tidbit of Scott and Jeff’s friendship
I know I say it a lot, but I really want another handheld like the 3DS. It’s one of my favorite Nintendo consoles and I’m beyond devastated that Nintendo is hammering the final nail on its coffin.
Scott's Stash is the main channel at this point
Xenoblade 3d is one of the craziest ports ever made. Its really such a large game and the frame rate was pretty stable all things considering. Id really say the only downgrade compared to the wii is the resolution which still blows my mind.
perfect for 3ds users who dont have a wii or Wii U...
maybe some day ill buy a Wii U
fun fact, rhythm heaven megamix actually started its life off as a 3ds rerelease of fever, before it became a new game with 1/4th new content
More 3DS videos like this please. MORE!!!!!
Wreck-it Ralph also released on Wii and 3DS (as well as DS) and all versions are identical, there’s also Rodea the Sky Soldier also came out on Wii, Wii U and 3DS, just a couple of examples at the top of my head.
The Wii U version of Rodea is actually a port of he 3ds version not the other way around, hence the low quality textures. The 3ds version was planned from the beginning and due to unknown circumstances Kadokawa decided to port the 3ds version to the wii u.
The Wii version is the only good version and it's an entirely different game. Even the dialogue is different.
I felt like that game copied and pasted the 3ds version to the wii
Thanks for the Scott’s Stash and Clip content to help me get my fix til a Halloween special lol
This video made me wonder about older titles from non Nintendo platforms on 3DS. The only ones that I can personally think of are MGS3D Snake Eater, Tales of the Abyss and Super Street Fighter IV.
WONDER?!?!
The definitive edition of Xenoblade chronicles 1 is why I want a Switch eventually. The New 3ds was the only way I played the game so far. Its still good
Pokemon Rumble slander may push me to frown at this video
Should've ported more to the 3DS... Would've loved to see Super Mario Galaxy...
3:23 how dare you i loved pokémon Rumble blast
He's so right about Rayman Origins. You can get away with blurriness in 3D games, in fact it can make them look better in some ways by smoothing out rough edges (e.g., the N64 did this on purpose), but for 2D games and especially a game like Rayman that was designed for HD, you need a crystal clear screen. Even the DS would have been subpar lol. The 3DS version was a massive disappointment. It's almost unplayable. Like Scott said, you can barely even see what anything is. Being released after the Vita version was a complete joke.
Fun fact: Pilotwings Resort was also co-developed by Monster Games. So three out of five games Scott presented here had Monster Games involved.
Dk country returns on the wii was one of the best games of my childhood as a child it was hard but now it’s just classic fun
