Nintendo 3DS

[S0L]

Space Harrier 3D, proper SEGA. I like.

I love the arcade button and cab movement noises, nice touch

Hope you've finished the Outrun2 3DS port in time for Christmas S0L...

Oddly enough, in light of those SEGA 3D games hitting today it was something we were discussing in the office earlier. It's likely technically doable, 3DS should have enough poke, though you'd likely need to do some cut down assets (ala PSP).

Whether we could convince SEGA to do it is the hard bit! Be interesting to see how well these classic 3D games do to be able to make enough of a case that there are enough people out there interested to make it happen.

We're probably due another OutRun game at this point surely.

Super Hang On get! Now this is a proper racer. Got my arse handed to me my first few goes but just squeaked beginner. A real test of reflexes and a nice solid 3D effect too.

The ds port was pretty sub par i was lead to believe?

No, it was fine. It was the GBA port that was utter shit.

[Lorfarius]

So are these the MegaDrive games redone in 3D or the arcade?

[Not Thread Owner]

Arcade.

If you can't, would it be possible to do a game called RunOut where you race Forraras through stages that might happen to branch?

Already exists.

[shirubagan]

If you have an iOS device, buy Final Freeway 1 & 2. They're ACE OutRun clones.

But yes. S0L, can you guys just do an 'homage' 3D red car driving game.

Or contact Taito and do Chase HQ

[Not Thread Owner]

Or get the guy doing 90s Arcade Racer to have an OutRan mode.

[Dudley]

Need for Speed Hot Pursuit was pretty much a Chase HQ remake.

[shirubagan]

Or... to back up what deKay has said a million times, how about:

POWER DRIFT!!

[gizmo1990]

Aye Power Drift would be epic, just take my money!

But what about Sega Rally eh? The 3ds should be able to easily handle that. I'd pay the extra porting cost too, £10 easily.

All Hang-On needs is online leaderboards... gah!!!

[shirubagan]

I'll be buying Hang-On for today's commute home.

[Lorfarius]

Arcade.

Weird. It actually says MegaDrive on the game artwork.

[Kryptonian]

I'm looking to sell my original Aqua 3DS, what's the going rate please? Thanks

[jonathanhoey]

I paid £80 for an Aqua in perfect condition with charger, cards and cradle but no box. That was from a mate who'd just won a new one in a competition though so it's probably on the low side especially with Christmas coming up.

I did mention this.

Genuine question - have Nintendo stopped producing ordinary 3DSes in favour of only manufacturing 2DS and 3DSXL?

That's what my missus was told by a chap at GAME when she was shopping for one a few weeks ago, and this new Nintendo of Europe advert only has the 2DS and the XL in it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4C33rVqmGAg

But I guess I find it a bit hard to believe.

[BBBBBB]

Doesn't the thumbnail for this have the Mega-Drive name on, even though it's the arcade version?

It would make sense to me for them to do so but I've certainly not heard that.

Good news! The 3DS Youtube app has been released and is on the eShop!

Bad news! It is rubbish. Slow, crashes, and has no 3D.

[Mr Do 71]

[gizmo1990]

I dunno, played a few vids, it's alright.. Hasn't crashed on me and I don't think many people expected it to support 3D anyway. Though I agree it should but this is Nintendo remember.

It's better than nothing. But certainly people would have expected it to play 3D videos, right? It's the most popular 3D device out there! I mean the only reason you wouldn't expect it is because NintendoLOL.

[deerokus]

3D would be literally the only reason anyone would use youtube on a 3DS, surely?

[Not Thread Owner]

I expected it to do 3D.

[gizmo1990]

I completely agree, it's just that well, it's Nintendo guys c'mon! Please understand.

I was lucky enough to snag an XL Mario Kart pack on Amazon for £130 this afternoon - Early Christmas present from wifey (will tell her later...!). Ninty recently emailed to say that if I registered a 3DS and Mario Kart then I'd get 3D Land for free.... So I'm hoping my XL Mario Kart pack qualifies me for this. Does anyone know?
