Iwata Asks About 3D Gaming on the Famicom Disk System

those are gogles? ..... o.0

The goggles are kinda cool

I never knew about Gunpei Yokoi, that was one pretty awesome dude. Gameboy is one of those things that really made me fall in love with Nintendo.

I remember a certain racing game on Nes. It was Rad racer that was 3-D compatible. You would push the select button and the game would go into a 3-D ish sorta mode. You had to wear those red and blue tinted glasses to see it though. I never could find the glasses anywhere so I couldn't try it myself sadly. This is it.

Here's what it looks like with the 3-D setting turned on.

Hah, I've got that picture on a plate and mug set. It just says Super Mario Bros, I never got the reason for the car until now.

I love the Iwata Asks interviews. So informative.

I wish Sony and Microsoft did something like this... Well, there is the PlayStation Blog, but it's not the same.

Awesome stuff! I really have to start reading these more closely.

@Wolfenstein83:
Very interesting question. It doesn't seem impossible. Would be an interesting reveal on this years E3 : The release of a 3D Display for the Wii. They should be a lot less expensive now so it might be possible to sell as an add-on.

Nintendo always invents first.

The Sega Master System has 3D goggles... They had 8 3D games:
Blade Eagle 3-D
Line of Fire
Maze Hunter
Missile Defense 3-D
Out Run 3-D
Poseidon Wars 3-D
Space Harrier 3-D
Zaxxon 3-D

Take that Nintendo!

I remember Sega having 3d glasses. Never used them though.

I bet that Hot Rally game would be awesome.

Hard to believe something like that would be possible on the NES! I'll have to check this out.

@Linkz79 It's Stinkoman's theme!!!

wow the gamecube is built for 3D?

Those Glassies!

Whoa... I love the extended conversation on the Virtual Boy, and Miyamoto's emphasis on how it was supposed to be more "toy" and less full-fledged "console." I love that thing, but it makes a lot more sense when viewed with this kind of perception, as opposed to thinking how much lesser of a product it was compared to Game Boy. If that makes any sense. Anyway... Iwata Asks is one of my favorite changes during the Iwata regime. Excellent stuff.

@Nintendo87 No, it wasn't built for 3D but it was 3D compatible

Can't believe nobody's brought up The 3D Adventures of World Runner, by pre-Final Fantasy Square! Lost my glasses sometime over the years, but still fun stuff however you play it! Oh, and it's pre-Final Fantasy Nobuo Uematsu as composer too (I imagine if God made a video game, he'd get Nobuo to do the score ).

I remember that trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee

Well this Kart was in MKW as Tiny Titan

@Betelgeuse
Heh, i was actually going to mention that as soon as i saw this article, till i saw your post. =) The theme sticks in my head if i even play it for a minute, or think about the game at all (theme playing in head now). A fun little game.

Wow. Pretty cool lookin'. And those goggles are....um.....well, if I walked in a room while somebody was wearing them while playing a video game....I'd probably just walk right out.

sigh... The Gamecube was 3D capable?! That bothers me... good article otherwise though...

Would have been one expensive system for sure.

"Among gaming enthusiasts in the West he is most well known as the creator of Nintendo's Mother series (known as EarthBound in the United States). "

Is anyone else getting tired of Nintendo openly admitting that while still trying to pretend the series doesn't exist in America?

EDIT: Okay, I've actually read the article now. It seems to me they need to release Luigi's Mansion 3DS now, seeing as they've already got a working 3D version of the game.

those googles look like they had heat and night vision, to boot
