      I was actually thinking the same thing, but I think if the 3DS could actually do stereoscopic 3D in original DS games it would be kind of awesome! I mean, you could also take actual 3DS games that never got 3D support and put that back in on the New 3DS XL utilising the higher power.

    I swear, with each year that goes by, my 3DS becomes the best system I've ever owned. I can emulate any handheld except the PSP/Vita, any console from the 8-bit/16-bit generations (including 32X), I can play Pico-8, I can play Virtual Boy in 3D, I can play GBA and DS through hardware and with improvement, and as an afterthought, I can also play 3DS!

      And while there's still work to do to make the 3DS as capable as the N64 itself, you can also now emulate many N64 games with Daedalus X64 1.0 and they work fairly well (excepting Zelda OOT; there's an issue with water transparency in Zora's Domain making it nearly impossible to get the silver scale).
      NES download play also works with many of the two-player games. This is as close to a definitive retro gaming archival platform as there is.

    It's worth mentioning the DS offered an innovative wrist strap that also functioned as a thumbpad to use for analog control on the touch screen. My first play through of Mario 64 was using this method. It worked so well that I used it for any game that offered it. In fact, I called and ordered a spare from Nintendo after my puppy at the time chewed the original.

    I love the 3DS scene in general. It's genuinely so amazing that a family of systems from the 2000's-2010's can play millions of games across almost every game generation, and you don't even have to know how to code to get all this CFW on it. It's not just the basic homebrew either; there's QR code download sites, lost media still being found, ROM hacks and even new games entirely, even 3D print downloads to make custom cartridge holders, stands/cases, and styluses. I still use my New 3DS XL to this day and play all sorts of games on it.
    I just hope the hacking scene makes the system popular enough for me to get StreetPass regularly again(though I have spotted it happening on a few recent instances). A global StreetPass thing would be awesome, especially.

    This is just magic. The concept of widescreen DS games looks so good! Seeing Mario 64 DS with widescreen and analog controls was cool even if I never played it or the original. And I legit forgot about 358/2 Days despite it being my first DS game. I absolutely loved it and it being my first Kingdom Hearts game, I had no reason to dislike the controls. But that full analog movement looks like magic and I love it. It looks like a whole different game, but also just how I remember it
    And then Metroid Prime Hunters... Another one I haven't played, but I've heard people talk down about it. Full analog AND Gyro is insane for a DS game. I'm so curious to try this out.

    I know a lot of people who like just having eight directions on the circlepad. Like most control sticks, it's not exactly easy to not push it all the way, so having it with a run button you can turn off and on is often enough.
    Plus, I mean, the game was completely redesigned with its camera angles and such to make it where everything lined up on the 8 angles.

    I finally found the time to set this up on my 3DS, and it works beautifully. It kind of blows my mind playing Super Mario 64 DS with full analog control, and not only movement but camera control at the same time! And Starfox Command is so much more playable now - I mean, I played the hell out of it back when it first came out, but this is a fine excuse to do it again.

    You can also map the run button in SM64 DS to the dpad on the regular ds too. It plays way better with dive/punch on Y and no need to hold down a run button.

      @@antonshotpoteita it's very good if you have at least a friend to play it locally.
      Which requires two 3DS and 2 copies of the game and a bit of annoying menuing.
      The gameplay is very similar to Metroid Prime, but it's not a map to explore like traditional Metroid games, here it's missions based coop.
      It's a very fun coop experience and a great way to introduce new players to Metroid.
      However it's really not representative of what 3D metroid games are.
      Play Metroid Prime 1 on the switch or GameCube for that.
      But if you have someone to experience Fed Force it's really a blast.
      The bad reputation that it has is due to the time it was revealed.
      E3 2015, the last Metroid game at the time was Metroid other M in 2010 that was already disappointing for the fans.
      So the last acclaimed Metroid game was 2007 Metroid prime 3.
      So people were really waiting for a new Metroid game at this point and they released a chibi aesthetic coop game on the 3DS with no mention of a mainline game at all.
      No one wanted this and they were furious, the reveal trailer got the most dislike to like ratio in the history of UA-cam at the time. (Very impressive)
      If they were to reveal a teaser for Samus return while presenting this game I think the game would have done better.
      It's just unfortunate,but the people that played it usually like it

      ​@antonshotpoteita yes but also no. It just came at a time where metroid wasn't getting any love and instead of a real metroid prime game they got a co-op multiplayer where you don't play as samus.

      It's awesome in local coop.
      Not worth it at all solo.
      Play Metroid Prime if you want to discover 3D metroid but fed force is an awesome little coop game.

Just finished setting everything up and just running around peaches castle WOW, this might be a hot take but dare I say? This might be the best way to play Mario 64 (including the N64 version)
