What the hell were they thinking not putting Virtual Boy games on the system that actually had built-in stereoscopic 3D as a selling point?

>>720680160FPBP, KWAB.
>>720680160>>720680223I'm aware they can be modded on but I more so meant from Nintendo's point of viewWere the wounds from its failure still too fresh in 2011?
>>720679897I just don't think the people they had working on 3DS Virtual Console were up to the task, desu. At the time, they had their Chinese iQue subsidiary working on emulators. Nowadays they use Nintendo of Europe's NERD division to make emulators.
Better question is, since all Virtual Boy games are monochrome, why not just add Anaglyph 3D to the Switch?Let people play Virtual Boy games with a simple cheap pair of 3D glasses.
Because they couldn't charge you extra for a mandatory headset
>>720679897Why the fuck would I want those shitty games when hundreds of actual GOOD 3D games came out every month?
>>720680640Nintendo hates money retard.
>>720680223does Chris Chan know he made a cameo in the Batman?
>>720679897Two things to remember are that the 3DS initially didn't sell very well, and that was in part due to the fact they couldn't really market it to very young kids because the 3D effect could fuck up a child's developing vision (I think 7 was the recommended cutoff point). The other point is that this was when VC games were sold individually, and what should the price point be for games people didn't buy when they were new? Even Game Gear support held more value than making VB work.
>>720679897What part of "the VB was a complete flop" did you not understand?
>>720679897making a whole emulator just for a handful of games was probably considered to not be worth it compared to the other things they could spend that effort on in regards to profitthey probably figure the switch emulator is going to make much more money with the headset accessory which is why they are doing it now (and they also have the financial position where they can take more risks then they could during the wii u era)
3ds is too weak for an interpreter emulator, same reason snes wasn't on o3ds.Small indie dev please understand wasn't able to make a recompiler emulator, doesn't have the deep pockets and world class talent like BIG HOMEBREWBe sure to re buy Mario Galaxy tho, miyamoto is gonna starve
>>720687767They're making them available on the Switch right now and requiring you to buy an accessory to play them.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oc8qckEoKxkSo what part of "the VB was a complete flop" did they not understand?
>>720679897There's a homebrew emulator that works in full 3D. It even works on the original 3DS.>https://github.com/skyfloogle/red-viperShit is kino.
>>720690071No one but hardcore tendis will buy this. Nintendo is just trying to measure that number to estimate what they can get away with.2011 Nintendo was too focused on making actual games to run these marketing experiments.
>>720690494it doesn't really matter whether hardcore tendies buy it or not given that it'll sell better than the actual virtual boy did no matter what
Think of VB on NSO as content padding since they have to stick with the shitty drip feed method for the other NSO consoles.
