Do you remember when Nintendo said that we would be able to control our Wii U's with our Nintendo 3DS's? I want to know what has happened to that, and why are we not able to do it?

@DarkLloyd I Figured that, but I wanted this topic to be more like "Hey, what's your opinion on this" kind of thing, so maybe I worded my first message wrong.

Nintendo lied to us. It will never happen, all I want is to play my 3DS games on my Wii-U.

i would play everything including devil survivor overclocked which im playing right now on the wiiu big screen but thankfully theres that fire emblem cross over with the franchise happening

also they did talk about it, something about your own personal screen in a multiplayer game or something

I think they said at some point that the next Smash Bros game would allow you to use your 3DS as a controller. Also, isn't it possible to play a local multiplayer game between the 3DS and Wii U in Monster Hunter?

I don't know about you guys, but I wouldn't want my games that were made for a small screen to be on a screen up to ten times the size.
As for the topic, what's the point? I can't really see any point in it.

Best thread ever

It is indeed, so such a feature is already taking shape. Nintendo basically said you could use the 3DS in conjunction with the WiiU in many ways. And that is exactly true. But that doesn't mean they'll let you play 3DS games on the WiiU, or anything else specific. I think they want to find a good fit for using a 3DS with the WiiU. Like another Four Swords game, perhaps.

Baaaasically, they said it can be done, but that doesn't mean it will be done.

I remember them saying that it is a possibility but I never heard them say that we would be able to let alone that they were working on it. Besides wouldn't that basically be the same as using the gamepad?

yeah
because they never said anything like that. they didnt even said "thinking about it".

this thread is just wishful thinking.
but of course it would be cool to do that. 3ds should be capable to do that without lag

I don't know how well the 3ds would work, but my Gamecube's Gameboy Player works pretty well.

Kinda meh quality because phone, but thats on a like 47" TV? I think. Idk.
Not too terrible, but not great. Kinda weird playing the 3DS without looking at the 3DS.

I guess you missed the part when it said it was a rumor and to take it with a grain of salt. Also if you noticed Nintendo didnt say anything about it it was just some French site that was talking about it.
