Warioland was a solid game, sad it hasn't gotten a re-vamp yet.

Nintendo was doing that as early as 1987:

Famicom 3D System

I tried it for about 3 minutes. I had something similar to dizziness the next two ours. The immersion was nice tho.

Fun fact: If you have a 3DS, you can now experience these games in 3D with the Red Viper emulator!

I recently did this and Warioland was awesome!

There was a boxing Kangaroo and I hated him so fucking much.

I had the Virtual Boy system when I was a kid and I feel like I'm the only person who actually enjoyed it lol I don't recall ever getting any headaches but then I wasn't on there all day or anything

I really thought it was cool but was way too expensive for what it was.

A friend of mine whose parents were divorced had it. He let me play it a ton and I didn’t get any dizziness or eye damage.

Teleroboxer is one of the best games that no one played

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

I had that one and it was awesome!

Similarly, I'm the only person I know who enjoys the 3DS for the 3D screen

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The 3DS' 3D was actually great and people who claim to hate it just hate progression!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

It was great, and society has only regressed since we gave up on 3D displays

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

I enjoyed it, although I’m not sure it really added much. I mainly played Mario Kart 7.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

I really did but the framerate in almost every game that used it dropping by half killed me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I played the VB a ton when I was a kid. I guess I was just a dumb kid but it always felt fine to me, I never felt any eye strain or anything. Maybe I just have super eyes.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

A ton? Did you have all like 10 games available for that system?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I actually did have about 10 games, they went on sale for like $3 each when it was determined that the system was a failure.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

That is the only time first party Nintendo games go on sale

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Maybe they would be twice as super though!
