GBA/NES 3DS mockups

Posted 12 years ago by in 3DS, Screenshots | 0 comments

The GBA/NES games that Nintendo will be offering for early 3DS adopters will have the same exact graphics that they did when they were originally released. Still, it’ll be interesting to see how the games look on the 3DS for the first time. Nintendo hasn’t shared any screenshots of the titles as of yet, so for now you can check out some mockups in the gallery above.

Honestly, Nintendo is being very generous by offering current 3DS owners twenty free games. That’s a ton of content that will take hours to play through.

Just one caveat: you’ll need Internet access to obtain the games. That’s something that most of you probably assumed already, though Nintendo has said that there are “no plans” as of now to offer the titles through other means.

A new piece of content has been added to Nintendo Video for the third time this week. Today 3DS owners can view “BearShark”, a video created by CollegeHumor. Nintendo describes the video as “When Bear and Shark team up, nobody’s safe on land or sea.” It’s just a little more than two minutes long, so if you have some free time, perhaps you’ll consider watching it!

What do you get when you mix Super Mario Bros. with the Unreal Engine 3 and a little bit of first-person action? The videos above, of course! A fan took it upon himself to recreate the title using Epic’s engine to “learn about game development.” The project took eight weeks to complete.

Nintendo has provided a slew of reasons as to why they’re reducing the price of the 3DS. There’s the fact that it simply hasn’t been selling well, how this move makes it easier for publishers and developers to get on board, and that the new price will also help out retailers.

What Nintendo hasn’t said is that the new price is related to users getting sick and dizzy from 3D. That’s not stopping The Sun from saying otherwise, however.

Check out this blurb from their article regarding the 3DS price drop:

“NINTENDO is slashing the price of its 3D console by a third – after claims it makes gamers feel dizzy and sick.”

That’s pretty much a blatant lie. Sure, some consumers were a bit worried about getting tired from 3D before the 3DS shipped, but we haven’t seen many complaints at all since launch. Nintendo has also consistently said that the effect shouldn’t be a cause for concern.

I suppose we just have to deal with the fact that The Sun likes to embellish their articles. Back in April, the publication claimed that “thousands” of 3DS owners were suffering from headaches and dizziness. Nintendo later denied the report, saying that “the number of calls and emails with queries on Nintendo 3DS is in fact well below the rate experienced during past hardware launches”.
