did that monstrosity improve any 3ds vidya gayms
All I can think of is Snake Eater 3D and the Monster Hunter games
I think it worked for Kid Icarus Uprising, too.
Even if the game didn’t support it, it definitely made the 3DS easier to hold for big hand gays like myself. But I played a lot of Monster Hunter, so the extra stick was great for me.
>Kid Icarus Uprising
It only gave you the option to use the right stick instead of the left stick for left-handed people
snake eater, MH, and RE Revelations
Oh and uh Kid Icarus
pretty sure it was required for kid icarus
>he didn't play the game
see
no I didn't because kid icarus sucks
kid icarus is a troubling game. it's a fun game, that sucks to play. I finally reached a somewhat flow state in the game with the first fight against dark pit...but then Iegit stopped playing the game for like a month cuz it was genuinely annoying for my fingers and ached more than any game had ever made my fingers ache
I dropped the game around the same point because I felt like my hand was going to break. Only I didn't play it again for years. But when I replayed it and pushed beyond that point I ended up getting used to it. And not "learn to tolerate the discomfort" used to it but "learn to play it reasonably comfortably". It's the only game I've ever played that I think should have had a tutorial on how to hold the controller, or in this case console.
monster hunter
I got the Circle Pad Pro used for like 5 bux, it made 4U playable. In fact I still kept it on for other games even when it wasn't supported because of how comfortable it was.
I remember it actually feeling surprisingly similar to a PS2 controller
Luigi Mansion 1 and 2
literally the only good thing about Majora's Mask 3D was being able to have freecam with that attached, it was really nice
metal gear solid 3 and ace combat were practically unplayable without it
oh yeah
The pre-smartphone years were pretty wild
man i miss those little portable TVs so much.
This is actually pretty based on the era of analog broadcasts because you could basically watch TV wirelessly which was unheard of and would have required lugging a CRT, antennae, and power generator. Meanwhile game gear LCD + antenna + batteries was all you needed.
Assuming you had an infinite supply of batteries in your pocket.
>you could basically watch TV wirelessly which was unheard of
these things were all over the place back in the day
I wish ATSC wasn't such a piece of shit and things like those old pocket TVs could come back (but for ATSC of course)
My parents had one of these leftover from the 80s. I used to hook my N64 up to it, and play wayne gretzky's 3d hockey for the lulz
I just had a moron moment where I wanted to look for one to watch TV easily like I did as a kid but then remembered that I have a fricking smartphone
It probably wouldn't pick up channels anymore, with the whole digital switch and all.
anon, my family had a b&w portable TV in the early 80s, they weren't new technology by the time the GG and Turbo Express TV tuners came out.
I remember when my local kmart closed a few years ago they brought a bunch of shit they had sitting in the back and put it out on the shelves and they had the pelican tv tuner for gba. I didn't bother getting it since it was still full price and probably wouldnt have rang up anyways.
Reminds me of those GBA carts that had like 1-2 episodes of tv shows in 140p
so fricking good, those and VideoNow
what is this?
It's a GPS for people who couldn't afford a Garmin but had a PSP
I remember begging my mom for a DS Lite because I thought this came with it
I want more gps/real world map based games
I would if they weren't mostly just reskins of the same game
The MonHun one just came out
And then it was rendered obsolete by the New 3DS just a few years later
>rendered obsolete by the shitty little c-stick
No it wasn't.
>get new 3ds
problem solved
>BIGGEST JOKE OF THE YEAR
>THE OUYA!
>relies on infrared
What the frick were they thinking?
On a related note, I still don't know how the frick to use the c-stick. Do you press down on the edges or do you push it from the opposite side?
I'm pretty sure it's the only thing for the 3ds that uses that infrared sensor
Makes me wonder why they didn't just save the money and put an extra stick instead
>the only thing for the 3ds that uses that infrared sensor
Don't the VC pokemon games use it for trades?
>why they didn't just save the money and put an extra stick instead
Not enough space underneath on the PCB.
IR receivers are small and dirt cheap. There's a reason they used to be everywhere.
You lightly tilt it. No it won't physically move.
Ever use a nipple mouse on old laptops? It's like that.
No it's not. clit mouse actually moves a bit, and it doesn't fricking warp as you use it.
Goatse.
Ugliest console ever made
I wanted one of these so bad growing up, I never realized how shitty they were
Oh yeah...
Man I miss kiDickarus
Playing some LvD all night long with anons was great
I always found the game more comfortable without the stand
It was comfy as frick going around with my OP weapons fricking up japanese names online
In hindsight my australian lag probably gave me an advantage
The absolute rape you could cause with a strong Magnus Club and a few dozens of miliseconds of ping was incredible. Wonderful memories of forward-dash-strong one shotting people
for me it was brawler claws that had speed+stamina bonuses, then using the spells that added more speed
I just fricking ZOOMED everywhere
I don't know man, just greeting fricking Takeshi the manlet round a corner and killing him in one fricking hit was the funniest shit ever and I geared all my item loadout around it. ZOOMING sounds hilarious though
the random tweaks each weapon had massively dampened the experience
like, give us a grid like the one powers use for tweaking weapons ourselves
I had never actually seen one of these until maybe last year, and I said, "Oooh," out loud when I realized the Switch stand is almost the exact same thing.
i have this
it makes kid icarus actually playable in a somewhat comfortable way
got mine sitting on my desk as we speak, and I use it almost daily for playing my DSi XL and 3DS
This happened, and I don't know how this piece of junk actually did well in Japan.
Card scanning was such a big gimmick in Japan for a while
They tried it overseas as well
The original Amiibo
what are these sexuality flags????
I recently figured out how to print cards for my e-reader. Very soulful product, too bad it bombed in the west
e reader was one of those things as a kid I was like "I KINDA want this but at the same time I can tell this is kinda shit..."
literally a requirement to play 3U, especially for that underwater combat
>universal in its name
>only used by PSP
holy contradictions, batman
As in, it could be a game, or a movie, or I think they even did music releases on UMD too.
I still remember the first time I opened a PSP case. I very momentarily tried opening the plastic around the UMD. Something about the open gap where it reads the disc gave me the idea.
Sony was fully expecting to start another disc market and the PSP was going to be only the beginning. Turns out nobody liked UMDs and devices were moving towards SD and flash storage anyway.
Because as we all know their previous attempts were so successful
They were of the "we're going to keep forcing it until it works" mindset. Tech marched on and portable mini-discs were just not going to cut it.
This was actually successful, just not in the US.
Ah yes, the classic "big in Japan" cope.
Europe too
Maybe look outside of your bubble once in a while
Outside the US, so Asia, Latin America, and Europe it sold more than CD's.
Betamax ended up being a success in the long term as it was the tape became standard for TV stations to record video (audio was on a separate tape) worldwide including the US up until about 2000. The cassette they used was larger than the home version and the only reason it was used was it could support higher resolution video.
The quirk was you could end up with de-synced audio, and anyone who grew up in the 90's might remember that on local broadcast stations.
They managed to force Blu-ray
Because like with Compact Disc there were other companies besides Sony involved. In fact there was an entire association behind Blu-ray.
Their failed formats had other companies involved too, even if not many
i still want one
i have it
love playing MGS3 with it
Remember when Pokemon I think it was Black and White or maybe HGSS had IR sensors built into the cartridges so you could point your DS's at each other and trade quickly
It was neat for a hypothetical situation of a large gathering of pokemon players, where you could do that instead of have to sift through a huge list of names from everyone else on wireless
That reminded me that FR/LG had wireless adapters included with them.
This was cool for Kirby and the amazing mirrors
A game like Kirby and the Amazing Mirror with online play would be GOAT.
Couldn't it be done with the switch version?
If you had more than 10 hours of MH4U, you owned one of those.
Doesn't work with N models.
Sorry, if you were playing MH4U at launch longer than 10 hours, you had one of those.
>buying an inferior version of a console to play 1 game
not the brightest crayon in the box, are you?
No it seems like I'm talking to a moron, please stop replying.
tbh I think my brain was so good at clawing at that point I didn't need it. Plus didn't 4 have the auto lock on shit? made things a lot easier.
I did 140 guild quests or whatever the frick they were called without it, I could even flawless/no-hit 140 rajang sometimes
Still can't believe tendies actually gobbled down this bullshit.
>still can't believe manchildren have no standards
really?
what is this
Cardboard, aka Nintendo Labo.
Nintendo Labo back in 2018
?si=OkHpyWalTWMcZke9
Basically Nintendo sold you expensive cardboard boxes to play games. Tendies ate it up of course
it's honestly fricked how the Vita flipped so bad despite being the superior handheld, what the frick did Sony do to drive all the devs to Nintendo?
comically overpriced hardware with all of one games to play on it in Persona 4 Golden
People were rushing to buy those PS TV things that was basically a Vita without a screen for cheap just to play P4 Golden.
Add Tales of Hearts R too.
The Typing of the Dead was so much better. And funnier.
Apparently the keyboard is bluetooth
Yeah, I used it a bunch on my PS3/PS4
I remember playing the Pocket Digimon World games. The spritework was cute and soulful.
Doko demo issyo had really smooth animations on it too. Shame this game was impossible to port to english.
I'm still in awe they went through with this Wii U era patent.
This thing is dumber than THQ's uDraw tablet.
This shit looks so flimsy I feel like I can twist this shit broken with no effort.
It's foldable but it only works once.
Maybe stop being a Black person?
And had the audacity to charge $200 for it
at least the wiiu tablet tried its best. It fricking sucked but it tried hard. This thing is like: if you want to give us an extra 200 bucks to play your PS5 we won't stop you
Wii U tablet was actually built fairly well, had a good gyro, and great latency on it's screen. In first party titles that integrated the second screen properly, it was a great addition. The ability to just play titles on the tablet was also an interesting feature and worked without any problems. Just a couple examples, Twilight princess HD and wind waker HD made great use of the tablet as an inventory screen.
My only regret is that I need to repair the left stick on my current tablet and obviously they only made one per fricking console, so they're hard to come by at this point.
when i say it sucked hard I mean it sucked because it proved having a second screen wasn't that much of a benefit. Conceptually it was a very cool idea to always have your inventory or a map up but it was never necessary and not much better than having those mapped to buttons. I liked it and it tried super hard to be relevant especially in some games like fatal frame but it ultimately and sadly isn't that good in practice. It's a shame but it is what it is. The portal on the other hand doesn't even try. It's a 200 dollar tablet that can't do shit on but remote play. It's lazy garbage
>it proved having a second screen wasn't that much of a benefit
How? The DS and 3DS were similar in this regard, were both very successful, and that feature is quite handy in lots of their games. I never owned a Wii U and only played one maybe twice so I don't know how well its games used the second screen. But I've absolutely gotten more use out of my DS's and 3DS's second screens than I've gotten out of my switch's ability to be played undocked.
The Wii U flopped because of bad marketing. So pointing to any of its features and saying its failure proved those things sucked/didn't work doesn't make sense.
Playing MK8 using the tablet while lying in bed was max comfy. Using it as a handheld feels comfier than a Switch too.
Joycons are terrible ergonomically. Face buttons, triggers, and sticks are all too small. Not to mention there's not a great place to grip compared to the gamepad. Also a lack of a traditional dpad is a knock against the switch.
Wii U was a great concept but needed better adoption and a more powerful central unit, nintendo dropped the ball in a couple places. I'll always vouch for it, but it had its shortcomings.
The fact that the joycons are split alone makes them one of the most comfortable for me.
So far the only other split controllers are joycon clones and VR controllers.
Mystery homie
it's like that port on the back of Xbox 360 controllers. the frick did that shit do?
That's for the charge and play kits
It's actually just a usb port
Doesn't even do video
So, more storage? I'm not opposed to that.
still got my green one and it will turn on but I cant get it to scan anything
I loved skannerz. I had agreen one but lost it a coin laundry. I think you needed the manual to reset it too. Shame a gimmick like t his will never return. Closest thing is maybe something with qr codes on a smartphone but
>smartphones
Smartphones really killed the gadget toy fad. Tamagotchis have gotten a bit of a resurgence, but I want these bad boys to comeback.
>Tamagotchis have gotten a bit of a resurgence
They never died out in the East. Bamco's also heavily invested in some sort of fitbit called Vital Brace BE.
Tamagotchis and other "pets" never really died out. I think Digimon is still going strong and now there's a "fitbit" digimon variant.I haven't tried it out myself however.
I think going forward we'll only either have smartphone "apps" for kids or just classic low-tech toys like dolls and the like. No more little gadgets like these for our posterity, which is a shame as these were very cool to me as kid.
You won't ever see Digimon v-pets on phones. It'd make the toy gadgets redundant.
Oh of course, it's partly why we'll never see nintendo games on other consoles or PC (legally). It makes the hardware redundant.
these thing seemed fricking awesome when I was a kid but I never got one and didn't know anyone that had 'em
I had a pair and they were actually pretty cool. It was really only fun for about an hour though. The real charm to them is when you have atleast 4 of them and one of the big cubes and just watch them interact tomodachi life style. I also thought the fact that you can shake the cube and make them puke was so fricking futuristic.
>the only modern adaptation of this are pay to win phone games
why oh why

>who the hell is nami supposed to be? wii fit trainer?
Yes
n3DS (regular) was the perfect handheld and I'm sad it flopped
I don't think I like the nipple, it's not precise.
Even on such a budget build the fact that Pokemon was big enough to get a separate handheld distinct from the GameBoy line that was EXCLUSIVELY for Pokemon games is one of the biggest examples of Pokemania being so massive.
Speaking of forgotten handhelds, there's the Bandai Wonderswan which only got sold in Japan and barely got out 3.5 Million units across three separate versions of the hardware. Despite that there's a ton of exclusives for this thing in notable IPs.
If I recall, Nintendo actually worried about the WonderSwan and actually rushed out the GBA because of it.
Almost right, they made the GBC to beat the Wonderswan out because the GBA wasn't going to be out before 2001.
And took care of Gunpei Yokoi
>Exclusive Klonoa game
>Exclusive Ghosts n Goblins game
>Exclusive Guilty Gear game and an iterative sequel
>Exclusive Mystery Dungeon game
>multiple exclusive Digimon games
>MULTIPLE exclusive Mega Man games
>Port of Pocket Fighter
>Multiple Final Fantasy ports
This shit is crazy.
Hence why Nintendo feared it.
there was some sort of plug in play kids game taht was an mmo but im starting to realize it was probably a fever dream
ubfunkies?
Had that shit. Fun to collect but the game sucked
something like this but I think they were monsters? I remember a lava guy
I bought this for my 3DS. I forget if it helped or not.
I had one of these, was pretty neat but I also just had a portable dvd player to use instead.
I'm still mad that the 3DSXL didn't have another circlepad. the cstick is the worst shit ever
these'll probably work on joycons too
>waste money on this when you can just attach your own boiled eggs to it instead
>have to boil an egg every time before playing
Yeah but you can use it as a gamer snack when you start getting hungry.

Still one of the funniest fricking things to come out of last generation
This genuinely was a massive tipping point. MS fumbled the success of the 360 with a major anti-consumer move that their biggest competitor publicly mocked them for the same week. Phil Spencer recently said in an interview that 8th gen was THE worst gen to lose since now digital libraries are a big deal and getting people to switch consoles and lose their built library of digital games that would otherwise carry forward is WAY harder than it was in the 80s-00s.
Yep, it's why backwards compatible is more important then ever as a selling point. Why would I switch to the Next Xbox and start over when say I can get a PS6 that would have all my PS5/4 stuff up there?
Xbox is doing backcompat really well though. PS5 still had to rely on a whitelist of PS4 games.
To be fair, only like 6 PS4 games don't play on PS5. SeXbox plays a lot more games with backwards compatibility, though.
why did the c stick need to be a little fricking pressure nub above the face buttons when there's so much room below it for another circle pad
still a shit design
nobody uses the right stick and the face buttons simultaneously on any home console
I do constantly
you constantly switch between them
you never have one thumb on both
I would if I could.
Also I use the joycons a lot and I can actually use them simultaneously thanks to the small size, even if it's a bit awkward.
I miss my 3ds
