Various legacy console games getting 3DS makeovers?

**Kugyince** · 06-18-2010, 09:57 PM

At Nintendo’s E3 2010 booth, the talk of the show was the 3DS. Everywhere you turned, people were chatting up the awesome effects of the system. What most people didn’t know is that there were some hints at classic games getting a 3D makeover for the system.

A trailer reel was playing at the booth that showcased various old-school games running on the 3DS. Mega Man 2, Castlevania, Urban Champion, Kid Icarus, Yoshi’s Island, Smash Ping Pong, Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros., Tennis, The Legend of Zelda, Metroid and Mystery of Murasame Castle are just some displayed. According to Reggie, these games are coming over to the 3DS, and they might receive more than just a 3D effect facelift.

I asked Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime what to make of all these old-school remakes. Were they all going to be games on the 3DS? Yes, he said, but he cautioned me not to think of them as remakes. Echoing comments by Nintendo’s head developer, Shigeru Miyamoto from a roundtable earlier in the week, Fils-Aime said these games were potentially getting more than just ported over.

Could a 3DS Virtual Console be in the works? Are we going to see new life pumped into these titles via a 3D effect, if not more?

Cool I guess, I cant see myself buying old school games because they are now 3d though, just seems wrong. They would need to be redone from the ground up.

I disagree, I think that a little revisit won't do damage (even if you can just pick up for 5 bucks on the wii, or better yet, play em here) unless said damage is to thine check book. After all, you don't have to put a spin on Tetris ya? Although I would not mind there being the option to enable extra levels.

Mhhhm. Extra levels.

3D Double Dragon 2.. *_*

As long as they do not ruin it by holding your hand!

**Demon-Mask** · 06-22-2010, 01:16 AM

They re-did Rondo of Blood in 3D, they didn't hold anyone's hand with that.
I wouldn't worry about it in a game like Double Dragon.

Wrong kinda 3d DM.

I just realised the 3ds is going to make the question "is it 3d?" even harder to answer than it already is.

Seriously.

The things we've been calling 3D graphics for the past 15 years now are suddenly demoted back to 2D, with 'real 3D' being the stuff that pops out of the screen.

**DrunkN** · 06-22-2010, 02:26 AM

How hard is it to just say "3d that pops out of your screen"? Or how about for old 3d; 3d engine?

**Tails** · 06-22-2010, 02:36 AM

Call it 4D.

Less complicated.

**Slime Slayer** · 06-22-2010, 03:04 AM

We will be in one heck of a pickle when 4d comes out though.

No, why 4D specifically? No one mentioned another dimension.

**Tails** · 06-22-2010, 03:11 AM

3D is getting complicated, wouldn't this be called 4D to stop that?

Ah what the Hell. I'll give you this one out of convenience.

It be the ass of rat to call peanut butter "creamed peanut mix" so I'm sure there isn't a ton better than 4d.

**Seahawk** · 06-22-2010, 03:51 AM

I hope a new, good Yoshi game comes out for it

.

**Tails** · 06-22-2010, 03:52 AM

Yoshi's Cookie remake! Good idea!

**Seahawk** · 06-22-2010, 04:04 AM

I meant a platformer game like Yoshi's Island on SNES.

But now that you mention that, a Cookie game would be really trippy. Imagine, you have a 3D grid of cookies, kind of like the cubes in Picross 3D, except it pops out at you.

I'm getting kinda dizzy just imagining it 0_o;.

**Tails** · 06-22-2010, 12:18 PM

I would just rather see 2d.

Well, since time is dimension number four, I doubt that is a fitting name. You cannot accurately depict temporal existence in a manner using only spatial objects. It could be called "Real 3D". The 3D where everything is still inside the screen has been called so for a long enough time that it will always be called the same.

**Kugyince** · 06-22-2010, 07:22 PM

Stereoscopic 3D

You may no longer use the term ice cream, you must now call it cooled and flavored cow milk.
