  • Brandon has an epiphany and realizes that the 3DS is dead! Taking a look back at the 3DS, its one of Nintendo’s more beloved consoles with a wide library of games, fun system features like StreetPass, and free eye-strain™. The 3DS’s final years is where it gets really interesting though, so Brandon takes a blast to the blinding past to see how the final 3 years of the Nintendo 3DS’s life played out. It should be fun, there’s no telling what games could pop up, like Wipeout based on ABC’s hit series…Wipeout.

    Warioware gold was a snack…? Man… I remember all the Nintendo RUclipsrs at the time HATING on the 3ds because they didn’t get things like warioware, Samus returns, persona Q2, dragon quest 8 remaster, Luigi’s mansion port, etc. people were like, “why aren’t these games on my switch?!” all the time.

    Not sure why Nintendo felt the need to end the eShop. In fact. Discontinuing a consoles support less than 2 years after discontinuing production, may be in some countries a breach of consumer law.

    The 3ds was the last console I was genuinely excited to get my hands on. Maybe it's just me getting older, but there was definitely some special potential that the 3ds had that we just don't see in the switch.

    Srpgs? Fire emblem
    Drpgs? Etrian odyssey.

    I think that if they had the ambassador program and dropped the price for the Wii U it would have done better. However it wouldn't have made sense to that on a home console and dropping the price likely would have resulted in the Wii U being sold in even more of a loss because of how expensive the GamePad and stuff was.

      In your Wii U video could you please mention how underrated the game library is as well as how cheap they are compared to the Switch versions. Also mention the cult following the Wii U has with stuff like modding and home-brew. As someone who's first Nintendo console was the Wii U that would be nice.

    The 3DS is what I call "Undead" right now: dead by Nintendo standards, but still alive in terms of relevance.
    1. They're expensive meaning there's demand for them. Anecdotally I can safely say both me and my sibling play ours on a regular/semi-regular basis, so it's still at least personally and culturally relevant.
    2. Games and even apps are still coming out in the form of homebrew. There's Five Nights at Freddy's, Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead, OneShot, Sonic Mania, and even ChatGPT, and they're still coming!

    The thing that continues to baffle me is why Nintendo knew that a price cut worked for the 3DS…. but they refused to do it with the Wii U. I know they cut it by 50 bucks but that should have been the only model they released (that white version with 8 GB with no Nintendo Land was a bone head move).
    It’s almost like even Nintendo didn’t believe in the Wii U where as they had faith that the 3DS could work. Odd.

    • @BoringBrandon1
      @BoringBrandon1  Год назад +2

      Great comment! I think they knew since the 3DS had no real competition and that it would be a sure fire success with a price cut

    • @leeartlee915
      @leeartlee915 Год назад +3

      @@BoringBrandon1 Yeah, perhaps. I do know that Nintendo was taking a heavy loss with 3DS hardware sales when they dropped the price. The same would have been true with the Wii U. But, again, they limped on for 5 years without a true price cut? Remember the Gamecube? They reduced the price on that thing twice. First to 150 and eventually 99. They had even tougher competition during that time but they still tried to make the console work.
      Nintendo gonna Nintendo I suppose.

    @ianeons9278 Год назад +3

    I honestly think the 3DS had a bad start because of the price, it was the same as the Vita I think and pushed the 3D gimmick the most. After that they mainly focused on things other than the 3D and dropped the price and the reason why it sold so incredibly well is because it was basically the only handheld people were really interested in. It did have a great launch in Japan however as it literally outsold the PS4 over there.

    The last couple of years for the 3DS had some of my favorite games release for it. Specifically Yo-Kai Watch Blasters, and Yo-Kai Watch 3. Too bad that because they released so late, they had a limited print run. At least I was able to get physical copies of those games before that happened.

    Your name is clipped off when seeing the video pop up, so it looks like at first glance you're calling the final years of the 3DS boring. Let's see if that is case after watching this video, which given your previous entertaining videos, certainly won't be boring to watch.
    2:44 - The Wii U's end was pretty sudden though; a dual release of Breath of the Wild and then a complete drop of support from Nintendo. The 3DS got at least a transitional period as it were with games in 2017 and even 2018, which I suspect is due to both games already being in development and concerns about whether the Switch would take off (I think it's level and speed of success surprised even Nintendo).
    4:03 - Gyro and it's streetpass functionalities had way more of an impact on the 3DS for me than the 3D effect did; though said 3D effect does look stunning in some games (DOA Dimensions comes to mind first). Nintendo really put the effort into revitalising the 3DS after a bumpy start unlike Sony with the Vita... or Nintendo with the Wii U.
    8:32 - There were a fair few late 3DS games that really do feel like they should have been New 3DS exclusive. I recall my brother getting one for Ultra Sun/Moon and the game still struggled on the upgraded system so I can't imagine how rough the experience would be on a regular 3DS.
    9:36 - No lie; I really enjoyed Federation Force. That said, I do feel it'd have been better suited releasing on the Wii U, perhaps even exclusively (it was planned to release on it at one point). It'd have allowed for decent looking full sized character models (though I like the chibi look, I understand it's clash with Metroid as a series) and I feel would be more comfortable to play for longer experiences.
    13:50 - Delighted to see Dillon's Dead-Heat Breakers get a mention. It may have been one of last Nintendo published 3DS games but it easily ranks as one of my favourites on the system. I adore the series and continue hoping for it's continuation.

    • @BoringBrandon1
      @BoringBrandon1  Год назад +1

      Another great comment with some great insight for me. I 100% agree with the federation force comment, I think if it were released on a console it would've faired way better

    • @grinbrothers
      @grinbrothers Год назад +1

      @@BoringBrandon1 Aww, thanks!
      Nice to hear someone agree with me on the Federation Force idea. It was apparently planned for both Wii U and 3DS but dropped for the former, probably due to the effort and funding required to make it for both systems and one of those not being a successful system. I suppose they banked of Federation Force being a rare 3DS FPS to sell it and it ultimately didn't.
