16:45 I feel we need some kind of Konami Code that unlocks advanced performance options for most games. Like unlocking framerate or draw distance and stuff. It wouldn’t make sense in the normal options menu as it would confuse the general user and rarely improve the quality. But just imagine how Switch 2 backwards compatibility would do if unlocking the framerate was possible in most games 😮
20min on Luigi's Mansion
The 3DS graphics can be crunchy because the screens are small. I'm actually shocked at how small the Switch Lite is by comparison.
Kid Icarus Uprising. A Link Between Worlds. Kirby Planet Robobot. The version with extra content of Yoshi's Wooly World.
These are some of the best games of the previous generation (two generations ago now? I guess so with us entering the Switch 2 era) and they decide to bring freaking Luigi's Mansion 2
I'm one of the freaks that likes the game, but I definitely wouldn't say that it's quality is higher than the above ones.
I’m a massive Professor Layton fan, and I’m very much looking forward to The New World of Steam next month. I’m just hoping it’s a return to form of the older games.
21:21 Sam! You were supposed to show the facepaint not the regular ass mii editor!
Is this the first ever time he's mentioned the goat Shadows of Valentia?
FE echoes is so great. Best fe to start with imo.
You gotta play the original Layton DS trilogy, Scott. Unwound Future's story goes so hard.
Shout out to Touch Detective: The Complete Case Files which is how we finally got Touch Detective 3 in the west.
2:13 I don't want to disagree because I like the 3DS, but statistically I don't think that's true, quite the opposite from the stats I collected.
The 3DS has the lowest average review score for first party games out of any Nintendo console, sitting at 73.35. It also has one of the lowest amount of games with a score at 90 or above, only having 3/54 of them, being Fire Emblem: Awakening, The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds and Super Mario 3D Land.
On top of that, it had by far the most notoriously mediocre games, like Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash, Paper Mario: Sticker Star, the three 3DS Mario Party games, Metroid Prime: Federation Force, The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes, Detective Pikachu, the two Pokémon Rumble games, Hey! Pikmin, Freakyforms, Steel Diver, Mario Sports Superstars, Kirby Battle Royale, Fossil Fighters: Frontier, Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, Yoshi's New Island, the list goes on.
I instinctively want to remember it as a console with amazing top-notch first party games as well and was shocked when I saw the stats I recorded, but it kind of just wasn't, it didn't have too many amazing games compared to Nintendo's other platforms and had a lot of poor ones.
For the record as well the stats I recorded were for the original games released on each platform, excluding remakes and remasters, maybe if I included them its score would've been higher. If anyone is curious of the full ranking of the average first party game review scores, here it is. It doesn't have NES or Virtual Boy though because those consoles don't really have any review scores I could find for their games:
1. Switch 2 (83.14)
2. N64 (82.96)
3. GBA (81.68)
4. SNES (81.36)
5. Game Boy (79.52)
6. Switch (78.65)
7. GameCube (78.30)
8. DS (75.82)
9. Wii U (75.52)
10. Wii (74.36)
11. 3DS (73.35)
I think the 3DS was… 240p resolution? Per eye.
19:33 i can understand Nintendo having GREZZO work on Miitopia because GREZZO didn't just work on zelda remasters and echoes of wisdom. They also worked on the VIP (DLC) games present in StreetPass Mii Plaza, so they were probably called in for their experience working in Mii-centric ecosystems
Scott: You can make some WILD creations, its INSANE.
Scotts MIi: white man with glasses
The fact that Kersploosh has yet to hit the Nintendo Switch (or Switch 2) is a crime only forgiven by means of execution via guillotine ngl LOL
nintendo scott the nintendo
6:00 how is that a bad thing? Having a number reduces sales, and having the s is very dumb
Also, using the McMuffin as the title is very common (One Piece and Dragon Ball come to mind)
welp
The worst thing about Luigi's Mansion 3 is that you need to keep breaking every single furniture to collect money, to the point it gets annoying.
Square enix did release a theatrhythm dragon quest game on 3DS but it was a Japan exclusive. There’s an excellent English fan translation of it if tho.
now do switch on 3ds
3:09 you mean the DS not the 3DS
3DS is a way more fun console today to be honest than when it actually launched. I remember being pretty disappointed during its actual relevancy, but its a good companion console to the Switch or a home console.
>i am one of the 12 who cares about sushi striker.
No Scott, you are literally the only one.
I'm low-key pissed that Nintendo had Grezzo remake Luigi's Mansion 1 only for it to come out in 2018. And then never port it to the Switch to people have to play the GamcCube 1.
Nintendo might be the only game company to make remakes unavailable and force people to get the OGs instead.
Find yourself a man who loves you as much as Scott loves saying definitive version.
Overdue and welcome. The PiiU was lit up by developers to fail before it even went up for sale, those games desperaetly needed an audience and profit for the expense went into them to make them and finally got it with the refreshes and ports to the Switch. Yet the 3DS also got this case since it was a bit cut short too given the utility of the Switch vs the uselessness of the crap console that nearly killed them.
Upon playing Ace Attorney Dual Destinies the M rating actually started to make sense. You ever seen the final case in that game? It's fucked up. The stuff with Athena as a kid is actually pretty disturbing.
50 dollars?! Incredible!
The funny thing about the two Great Ace Attorney games is that 75% of them takes place in London, so they really don't warrant the "This is going to be too Japanese for Western audiences" mindset.
pretty sure the M Rating for Dual Destinies was for the stuff surrounding Athena's backstory, cause it is kinda nasty.
Bro REALLY wanted to talk about Luigis Mansion 🤣🙏
51:00 idk if you know this but Kingdom Hearts has a rythm game that is basically Theatrrythm. It's called Melody Of Memory
the funny thing about Great Ace Attorney is they localized the original games to be set in America, but obviously with these games there's no hiding the fact that we're in Japan. Luckily it takes place far enough in the past that the protagonist can plausibly be an ancestor of Phoenix Wright.
I think Fire Emblem Warriors can actually run on normal 3ds if you just insert the cartridge in?
12:09 "There for comedic effect and for you to suck up"
I found my new tinder bio
There's several third party 3DS 2s. AYN Thor, Retroid Pocket Duo, AYANEO Pocket DS, etc.
Through a combination of me having expendable income at the time, getting more into game collecting, and game stop closing down and lowering their prices, I actually own many of these post 2017 3ds games physically. Sushi strikers was 5€ and I still got a discount on that, Theatrhythm curtain call was wrongly labled as the original at a time when it cost like twice as much.
A switch port always tanks the price of the 3ds version, but at this point i don't care. Re-release professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright so I can get that game physically as well.
Still waiting for kid icarus uprising
Not Kid Icarus: Uprising…..
YOURE crazy,the ds has an amazing lineup. I have more ds games than 3ds games and I play them more also
58:21 Athena!!!
32:45 My partner loves Layton and loves Katrielle as a character. She also thinks the game sucks.
SCOTT MENTIONING ACE ATTORNEY AGAIN 🔥🔥
the way the Switch version of Miitopia was actually the best thing to ever happen to the game
dare I say the Miitopia Makeup is better than Living the Dream's face paint
omg yokai watch mention in 2026
