What’s amazing about Street Fighter 4 3DS is that if you disable the 3D in the game’s settings, it will boost the frame rate to 60FPS instead of the 30FPS that it runs out of the box.
That makes the game even MORE impressive of a launch title.
Same with DOA
This is the first time i hear of a graphics setting in a 3DS game
I wanna know which Capcom staff member sold their soul to make their games look and run THAT good on a 3DS
So, hypothetically, the game is competitively viable.
Frames are really important in fighting games does that not change the game completely when you mess with the FPS?

The 3ds lives on forever. One of my favorite handhelds.
Same man, I remember using my first paycheck to get one
my childhood... it really was impeccable!
It’s weird to finally see the 3ds era come to an official end. I’m only 20 but growing up on the 3ds and Ds family of consoles makes me feel old.
dude same! literally ive been trying to find more 3ds' to give to my brothers so they can enjoy this great console, but they are so expensive nowadays :(
@@_scandisnoc_4481 yeah especially Amazon , cost more then a damn oled switch a better way is eBay but you’d still have to be cautious
Wanna hear something? I quit video games when I went to college and I'm about to pick up some hand helds only now, starting with a modded new 3DS XL. The last one I played was a DS, never had a PSP, skipped the 3DS era altogether and well, the Switch generation is coming to an end as well from rumors I've heard.
I'm about to play all the 3DS and PSP + PSVita games for free. This is gonna be a video game overload. I'll probably buy me a switch when its price goes in free fall when its successor drops.
Shit man last year I was missing my DS something fierce so I copped a black 3ds from a pawn shop in March last year, love that shit I got one of those rom cards on amazon with a shitload of DS games download on it Idc I’m 21 still playing a ds in public in 2024😂
@@themoongateofficial im 21 and doing the same man
The 3ds started off super weak but as soon as 2013-2014 hit, it became amazing, We got Pokemon, we got Smash, we got Fire Emblem, and much more. 3DS became the backbone of Nintendo while the Wii U was bombing. I loved this little device and I still play it to this day.
Rest in peace
Pokemon XY was the bomb diggity
And the 3DS also bombed the Wii U, i knew many people that said "why would i want this on Wii U when its on 3DS!"
What you play last time? Me need more games to play, and i needed your recommendation
Eh, but that's the thing, isn't it? It's just Nintendo games, can't think of many more 3DS games that are good and not made by Nintendo (Square and Capcom did on occasion, but not as much as on DS.) But I suppose this is a problem Nintendo still has to this day, so it doesn't matter that much evidentially.
Rest in peace 3DS eShop you provided a good service. I’m at least happy I was able to snag all the things I wanted to get digitally that were too expensive physically like the SMT games
yo wait i see your community posts all the time
sup?
@@cyanidepizza Wassup
I got pokemon bank and transporter
I'm sure Atlus is going to bring the SMT games to modern platforms at some point anyways..did you get soul hackers?
@@RuuisuMori That’s not a guarantee and even so that could be years from now so better to be preemptive and buy them now
Yes I did get Soul Hackers
Street Fighter was so god damn funny on the 3DS, being able to spam Guile’s projectiles with the touch screen. Fantastic port.
I got the 3DS on day 1, and I almost sold it back then. The only reason I kept it was that I'd skipped the DS generation and could play some of those games.
But that first year was ROUGH.
3ds was my first “I know about and follow nintendo news” thing when I was 12 and I got it at launch. I was so excited but I kind of wish I waited in fact I don’t even remember what I played but I love the system it’s phenomenal
Yes it is😊
Personally, I loved the flying mini game from Wii Sports Resort. Pilotwings Resort was actually one of the games I was most excited to get. And I didn’t get it until 2013
I just FINALLY got it a few days ago before the shop closed. One of the final full priced 3DS games I bought. 💀😂
Pilotwings resort was in my top 5 and probably still is but I really wish they had a free flight mode that wasn't timed.
@@cs5250 Wasn’t that also a complaint about Wii sports resort?? Or at least in the multiplayer mode it was I think.
@@MatchaFoxx The Wii sports resort one had better plane controls which included an engine cut off but they both suffered from only being able to play on a 5 minute flight timer.
@@MatchaFoxx should have pirated it
I bought Bust-a-Move Universe a year or two ago and it’s actually pretty fun. It’s malnourished as all hell, but fun
Christmas of 2011 was a such a magical time for me. I got my aqua teal 3ds with Super Mario 3d land 😁
Saaaame
For me, it was Christmas of 2012 and it was SUCH a magical time for me too! Still have my midnight purple original 3ds to this day! (Although it's not in the best shape-) The games I got were NSMB2, Nintendogs + Cats (Golden Retriever), Super Bust-A-Move Universe (I actually have Super Bust-A-Move on my PS2, it's a personal favorite childhood game of mine, so that's why XD Don't like the 3ds game tho 😔) and I think 3D Land and/or Mario Kart 7 was in there, too!
That's how I feel about Christmas 2001 when I got my indigo Game Boy Advance with Super Mario Advance.
I can only imagine the disappointment of the kids who got a 2DS with Super Mario 3D Land. That game really needs the 3D in certain parts to work well.
@@leonro PFFF I never thought of that XD 3D Land is one of the only 3ds games that actually looks good in 3d and it really helped in those sections you go into a pipe and the it tested your depth perception XD
Ghost Recon on 3DS is actually pretty good. Its a launch game so it has shortcomings but it offered some strategy in the early days of 3DS. And ended up unique on the console
i remember playing asphalt 3d as a little kid, it was the first game i 100% completed, i thought it had the most realistic graphics ever
It's also really interesting that the 3ds was the only Nintendo system to not launch with a Mario or Zelda. I mean the original Luigi's Mansion wasn't technically a Mario game, but it was still in the same universe.
Yes indeeeed😊
Mario Kart and 3dland saved the syst3m
Yay Scott's back. Missed your videos buddy! Good to have you back!
it hasn't been that long
It’s been what, five days?
@@S.J.C._Entertainment the board games videos don't count, they're obviously not the same as these videos or scripted content he does
@@Spaxer …still Scott. Saying “Scott’s back” would imply that Scott himself wasn’t posting.
…Scott’s back!!
Fun Fact about Ghost Recon: Shadow War; it was produced by Julian Gollop, one of the main people behind the original X-COM.
I've been intending to pick it up sometime, as it seems to be a surprisingly good strategy game for the system.
Well damn it, now I gotta try to remember that generic ass title to make up for how mid Codename STEAM is, and how hard Fire Emblem swerved into being an anime dating sim while still not doing it as well as Sakura Wars
It's actually pretty good. It's looks kinda like a beefed up DS game (probably is) but it's one of the best XCOM style games on the system. Best launch title by far.
It was really good. I'm tempted to say Scott didn't actually play it because it is quite decent and had good 3D effects.
Rayman 3D (and many other ubi titles) had awfully loud audio. If you used the 3DS' own speakers, you had to reduce the ingame audio settings down to 10-15% or it sounded like it was about to blow out the speakers.
I was just marathoning a bunch of Scott Stash videos and this pops up. Though I missed an earlier one but nope. Fresh Scott off the stash
You're doing some fantastic work making stuff like this + your eShop videos. Really gonna miss this system...except I'm not because I'm still playing it today!
I got the 3DS once the price drop. I knew it was rough at 1st but I knew it would get some great games later on. Still my favorite handheld 😎
I got mine in 2012 and it was amazing. I still play it till this day.

I remember one of my first games was Super Street Fighter 4 3D. Great game, and it was fun playing with people online. Someone even taught me about special defense maneuvers by actually showing it to me, it was awesome.
Special defense manoeuvres?
@@Shinku4949 Super Offense and Super Defense. Sorry, I forgot the actual names 😅
@@The16bithero yeah... i play sf4 high level no idea what ur talking about. Lol XD
Maybe u liked auto block lol
@@Shinku4949 he probably meant stuff like how to block overheads and FADC
I don’t quite get the criticism of Pilotwings Resort. It was a solid 20-30 hours or so to get through all of the missions with 3 stars, then open up the extra missions, then 100% the scavenger hunt stuff on the free fly mode. I can see myself coming back again to try to get perfect scores on the missions. I thought that was basically what Pilotwings was always about-getting good scores on the missions.
Bust a Move, Pilot Wings and Street Fighter 4 especially gave you a LOT of playtime on the 3DS. Street Fighter 3D is probably one of the best beginner fighting games ever - it got me into fighting games since I sucked at button inputs.
That's awesome to hear!
Agreed 😊
Finally! I love these Scott's stash type video, it feels like a mini scott the woz episode please keep this up!
I literally just got a 3ds end of last year and I’m starting to play through its immense library. Starting with soulsilver, platinum, and black 😬 I heard the Pokémon ds games are some of the best so I thought I would start there! (I know those are ds games, but I missed them)
Scott the Woz, the top gear of video game content
having owned an original 3ds since launch… yeah the games that came out at launch were pretty subpar. i played steeldiver for all of just like 30 minutes to an hour before i got bored of it, i honestly think my dad got it for himself more than me (?)
9:12 the sped up clapping got me
I still remember when this came out. Gamestop had a deal where you could trade in your dsi for like 50 bucks off. I later learned you could transfer dsi games to the 3ds and was real sad cause I lost the ones I bought.
He was kind of down on them, and I didnt play these at launch but I later went back to Samurai Warriors Chronicles, and Ghost Recon Shadow Wars and both of those are pretty good games. Samurai Warriors is a lot more of a classic warriors experience, and like he said it is slower, but its also a little harder and more about map control than objectives which is something I really liked about it. Shadow Wars felt cheap from a presentation standpoint, but I thought it had good map design, and interesting unit types. It was something I really enjoyed. Both of these arent amazing by any means, but they hold a special place in my heart.
I've been loving your seccond channel as well as the influx of 3DS content
Oh my, I remember waiting outside an EB Games for this one to drop with like maybe four other people and just kinda being disappointed deep down, but also loving the 3DS and all of the new features. I was also one of the few at my school who had one so I got many questions about it. I think the launch games I got were Pilotwings, Street Fighter, and Nintendogs. Although I remember spending much more time playing with the AR Cards, Face Raiders, and Streetpass Games. My city had a Streetpass meetup group too, and I remember the viral videos of the massive AR Cards as people learned that the bigger the card, the bigger the models, as well as learning that the card doesn't actually need to be in color for it to work. I eventually made my own massive B&W AR Card on foamcore, before getting the Club Nintendo one. Something about that period is very nostalgic to me, with the sense of discovery and wonder, as well as being young enough to be wowed by the features of it all. Streetpass is probably what I miss most, and while it didn't work the way Nintendo probably wanted since the 3DS wasn't as big as the DS, it brought people together.
I bought the 3ds on release. It's hard to look back and see how limited the options were with how successful it was after. I remember just waiting for something to play. People were recommending pilot wings and steel diver. Ocarina of time was the first game I remember thinking justified my purchase.
Not sure why but just seeing the cover of these launch games gave a lot of nostalgia
Honestly it feels like there's enough content to this for it to have been basically been a Scot the Woz episode, but I'm sure you have a bunch of other concepts for main channel videos
The 3DS was my first console that was completely mine (the Wii was the family’s) so it will always have a special place in my heart (even if it was 2016 3 years before it was discontinued and got in a car accident picking up my grandpa on my 7th birthday)
Sorry I messed up the accident was on my 6th birthday those 2 were just kinda a blur to me because aside from the obvious there basically the same things
This just makes me regret bringing my 3DS in a Uber car since I lost it
Today is actually the 12th anniversary of when my first 3DS arrived in the mail from Amazon, which I got for $200, so this is good timing
When I got my 3dsXL on launch day (notice the XL), I had enough money for Dinosaurs3D or Monkey ball. Me and my brother reasoned monkey ball would be better, as we recognized the brand (we didn't know anything else), but my father butted in saying that Dinosaurs would probably be more impressive in 3D than a cartoon monkey in a ball.
We got Dinosaurs 3D that day, and according to my activity log, I played it for 11 hours. Without looking it up, all I remember was that it is extremely basic, like a version of punch-out where the opponents only ever do 3 things and you need to do the right out of 3 options. Also, you can fight a secret enemy called "Broko-Lee", a martial arts knowing vegetable.
Thank you for shouting out revelations on the 3ds for how amazing it is. I consider it the unofficial sequel to code Veronica. It’s crazy how good it looks on the hardware. It was one of the first games I bought when I finally was able to afford a 3ds and I was disappointed that every other game I got was nowhere near it lol.
I got SF4 3D on release day because I was into the console version at that time. It was a fine... I replayed that game so much since I was not interested with any other 3DS game, so at that time I was either replaying SF4 3D for months, or I was fiddling around with the MP3 player/AR Cards for the hundredth time. To make the 3DS launch even sadder for me, I was the only kid in my class to get it. Literally the only kid, that's how expensive and unpopular this thing was in 2011. I loved my 3DS either way, it was a futuristic version of the DSi that continued my love for Nintendo's portables.
If you want a good dino game play Fossil Fighters Champions on DS. Still one of my favorite original DS games.
I remember it was the April 5th (2011) and I was like the first person in my area to get the 3ds. It was in the shiny blue colour and I still have it to this day. Although I was only 8 at the time, my Nan helped me and my sister buy it along with two games. Those ended up being rabids travel in time and Nintendogs. It’s crazy to me that was 12 years ago now but the system still holds up and will always be a favourite.
Nice to see the regular videos are back
Out of all of the launch titles I've only played Asphalt 3D, Pilotwings, Street fighter 4, and Super Monkey Ball 3D. 9 year old me would've gave each of them a 100/100
Pilotwings is unironically one of my fav 3DS games. Very chill time. Should’ve been bundled like Wii sports considering the launch price and lack of launch features. Plus it had one of the best 3D effects on the 3DS in general
He really didn’t mention the local multiplayer in steeldiver? My best memories of the 3Ds are with that. A little strategy game with combat it was a fun cat and mouse mode thing.
I really like the New 2DS XL, personally. It's lightweight and much more comfortable to use. The speaker placement really is the only downgrade that comes to mind, though you could use headphones to remedy that.
>shows and talks about Bust A Move on 3DS
>plays Panel de Pon/Tetris Attack music in the background
love the super monkey ball music in the background
Thank you so much Mr Stash. Very appreciated
Finally he returns
You talking about Asphalt 3D basically mirrored my experience perfectly with Smuggler's Run. Launch game for the PS2, I didn't have much money so I ended up picking it up, it's a racing game that is...vaguely passable? I think it's probably better than Asphalt 3D at least, but it wasn't exactly winning any awards. I still busted it out every now and then just to have some variety in games I played.
Honestly, the ghost recon game is pretty good if you're really looking for an XCOM styled game. Especially since at the time there was really a lack of that style of game.
Is it great? No but honestly it's not a bad game by any stretch and worth a look if you enjoy that genre. Julian Gallop was one of the people on the project even.
I was an early adopter! I got my 3DS in May 2011 when I traded in my DS lite and something like 10 games to GameStop to get the price knocked down. I loved it as a 10 year old - there was something so intriguing about the built-in software that kept me going until I got my first 3DS game, OoT 3D - which also became the first game I ever beat. I was also super excited to get the 10 NES and 10 GBA games in August when they announced the price cut.
I bought mine for full price for my birthday in June & two months later the prices dropped… (Atleast I got those ambassador games tho)
I remember getting my 3DS at my local store’s midnight launch. I picked up Street Fighter IV 3D Edition and Nintendogs + Cats. I ended up winning a raffle so I got my 3DS for free. I also picked up Ridge Racer afterwards because it was cheap and there was time to kill until Zelda came out lol.
Street Fighter was really fun.
I remember getting the 3DS at launch. I had saved up all of the money I had saved mowing lawns from the previous summer in anticipation. I was too young to be disappointed with the launch, but got a ton of mileage out of Asphalt 3D. I’m glad I have the Ambassador Program to forever cement my first major financial “investment.”
i had no clue until this day that Bust a Move was the original version of those color match games where you launch orbs at other orbs, when i had previously thought it must be a dance game because of the title. i was REALLY confused that they put it on the 3ds until that was cleared up lol
I shed a tear thinking about the nintendo eshop
This video feels like a normal scott the woz video without the funny edit jokes. I like it and want more of this
Technically, for me, the best 3DS launch title was Ocarina of Time 3D. Does that count?
RIP 3DS eShop, and by proxy, the 3DS. You were so much fun, and Animal Crossing is still my most played game, followed by Smash.
i just realized that this was new video
Extremely critical but still a wonderful video about the launch titles of my second favorite system of all time. You gave SFIV it's deserved props, and name dropped KH at the end so I'm a happy camper. ;] GANBARE scott!
Bought the 3DS the morning it launched.
Used it to play my DS Pokémon games.
I bought the 3DS in Cosmo Black on launch. My late grandpa took me and four of my friends to GameStop. Then we all went to the Steak n Shake next door for lunch. We passed the 3DS around, and my 75 year old grandpa got to experience real 3D for the first time. His smile was so big.
The 3DS was absolutely awful at launch. I started playing it more when the XL came out, but now that my grandpa is gone, that day is one of my happiest gaming memories.
i never would've thought there would be a bust-a-move game with such little content
I like when Scott has to repeat himself, he doesn't just brush off topics and say "I've already covered this in a video, so I will not be talking about it here. Let's move on." Something like Asphalt 3D he's talked about it before so he could very easily just be lazy and not talking about it, but I'm glad he reiterates his points and talks about it again because not everyone has heard him talk about it before or they don't remember everything.
It's funny how this and the Vita hit a lot of the same notes with the launches. Asphalt, Ridge Racer, Super Monkey Ball, Dynasty Warriors, a Rayman port...
One neat thing about sf4 is if you want to improve the frame rate you have to go into your settings and manually turn off the 3D effect. After doing that the game runs a hell of a lot smoother
Every single time I see Dillon's Dead Heat Breakers on Scott's 3DS menu I'm like "Just cover the entire series."
Heck I want scott to cover a ton of 3DS series of games, maybe the PSVita in the future to.
I just picked up pilot wings resort and I've got nostalgia for it so I'm still looking forward to trying it out.
I remember not being interested in any of the 3DS games at launch. Just nothing appealed to me at the time, so I didn't bother getting a 3DS until games I was more interested in were released.
This probably should have been a full Scott The Woz episode.
It makes me sad because i was so excited and got one very soon after release only to hardly ever play it. I eventually sold it after a couple years but now wish i had kept it considering it was an embassador console and i couldve gotten into its better titles after it had been around for a few years. But my 2ds xl has been great to me so i cant complain too much!
It's funny you mentioned Steel Diver feeling like a side mode or minigame because the two 3DS Sonic BOOM games did exactly that, you've got these yellow terminals Tails can hack, and the hacking minigame is a BLATANT Steel Diver knock off, but using button and stick controls instead of the touch screen. So at least that's one thing Sonic BOOM Shattered Crystal did right...
I would love to see this for other systems. Maybe not every other system, because it might be too much for some systems, but it would be cool
Ah, the 3DS launch. Good times. Still have my original model, even though I'm not the collecting type. This was weirdly enough, my main introduction to Street Fighter, and now, I'm a Fighting Game guy. I was also super enamored with the included AR cards.
Best kind of videos thank you
Hold up Scott had another channel this whole time.
he sure did
I think a few launch titles had that lithograph cover. I remember seeing street fighter at a GameStop with a pretty cool one
Street fighter 4 for the 3ds still blows my mind till this day its a damn technical achievement for capcom
The night it launched, my Best Buy had a special event. They had models there with 3DS consoles wired to them that you could demo (I kid you not- they were attached to the women with wires). They had wheel spins and skill games you could play to try to win free 3DS games and Best Buy gift cards. I won the Ghost Recon game, and my friend won a $50 BBY gift card. I still have the 3DS drawstring backpack they gave us.
I got a 3DS at launch but didn't get any launch games. I just played Pokemon White on it. I imagine some people were doing the same.
I only got Street Fighter 3D wayyy later when it was on sale or something.
EDIT: I'd love an extended version of this episode going over lesser known stuff that came out in the first year. Shinobi 3D is criminally overlooked, and you have fairly solid stuff like Dead or Alive.
EDIT2: I think Scott is pretty fair to Steel Diver here. Makes me interested in picking it up if I can find bargain bin prices again.
Street Fighter IV 3D was my first game for the 3DS. It was a game I had dreamed of being portable, and Nintendo made it happen, thanks Capcom. The 3D in this game is one of my favorites, it even had a 3d fighting mode.
I remember playing Pilot Wings 3D in a Best Buy kiosk and thinking it was the most insane thing I'd ever seen. Never played Pilot Wings again tho, huh
Despite the objective quality and retrospective narrative, I really enjoyed my time with the 3DS from day 1 and still look back on it fondly. Spent lots of time playing Ridge Racer and messing around with the AR etc. Don't recall feeling desperate for the big games to come out, I seem to remember Pokemon Black and White taking over my life for a good while
This is one of my favourite Scott’s Stash videos
Star Wars, Dinos 3d and super street fighter 4 were so good to me as a kid, loved star wars specifically
The only launch title I had was steel diver, but I thought it was the coolest thing ever when I was a kid.
When I got my 3DS in 2011, I was personally disappointed in the low resolution of the system. I remember that being a consistent pain point of the system. I did very much like how it had an eshop with affordable indie games. As a poor college student that was all I could afford for awhile. I did go and get a bunch of cheap used original ds games too.
I got the 3DS on day 1, and it was HORRIBLE. The price cut hurt a TON, but at least the Ambassador Program helped...a little...? Hard as hell to transfer to a new system, though.
o7 Rest in peace, 3DS.
I got my 3DS in April 2011, for my birthday when I was 12, it was amazing!
Rest in peace 3DS E-Shop, you will be missed old friend 😢 🙏
Our man is back
my 3ds brings a tears to my eyes.
I remember mostly just playing the DS games and the DSiWare (RIP) I had when I got my 3DS back in late 2011.
