Thanks to the power of the New Nintendo 3DS's updated Internet Browser, you are now able to watch YouTube videos in 3D. We've been using this little-known feature to bring you a series of videos based around the Virtual Boy, Nintendo's first attempt at 3D gaming from the mid '90s.
For our third look through the visor we've decided to play Red Alarm, T&E Soft's answer to Star Fox. This is certainly one of the more graphically complex games for the system, but is that necessarily a good thing?
Load up this video on YouTube via your New Nintendo 3DS's Internet Browser, and select 3D Display with the side-by-side view (or watch using a 3D television) and find out!

This was my fondest memory of the Virtual Boy. I would buy this on the shop if ever offered!
I also have fond memories of this on the Virtual Boy. I do wonder why Nintendo have never released any Virtual Boy titles on the 3DS eShop. I know most of the games for the system weren't that great but this game, and Wario Land, were actually very good.
I bought my VB for Warioland alone when EB was blowing systems out for $30. Totally worth it.
Huh nice, I could see the 3D just fine on my phone by "eye crossing".
Although it seems the effect is pretty tame.
@MorphMarron I gave that a shot and cross eyed did nothing for me. However I've been able to train my eyes to see 3d images off of paper from doing it so much a long time ago. What I got was a weird 3 images but I could see all 3 in 3d. There was one right in the center though and that's where I focused on. Problem is all I could see is depth and no pop. On my N3ds I could see the shields and other hud displays pop out of the screen. They were closer then the rest of the action but it all sat so far back. It's most likely because to do it you basically have to look through the image to see it.
I didn't even know I could do that on my New 3DS until I checked this out. Thanks for teaching me something new! Looked awesome with the 3D effect.
@Spoony_Tech The pinball one worked really well (lots of depth), so it's either the graphic style of this one or something.
Then again, I'm rarely capable of seeing 3D stuff "pop out", it's usually just depth.
Very nice video and maybe it is just me but I don't think this game looks too bad. Would have been a heckuva game back in the day considering the technology that was available.
That video was so cool to watch on my Nintendo 3DS! This game actually does look pretty advanced for its time, but the controls sure look iffy!
@Spoony_Tech I had this game too. In 1996 this was a pretty cool game. I had hoped they would have had flat textures on the geometry in the game but yeah this game was pretty good.
Thanks for another great video! I'm getting a real kick out of watching these on my New Nintendo 3DS browser.
For your next video, please do my favorite Virtual Boy game and one of my favorite Nintendo sports titles ever, Mario's Tennis!
I'll need to check this out on my 3DS!
The game looks relatively interesting. Must've been cool back then. The wireframe graphics are slightly confusing though.
Anyone have advice for how to get these YouTube 3D videos to play on a PC using NVidia 3D glasses? It's kind of silly that I have to have a new 3DS to view these properly since my PC is fully set up for 3D and I can already use it to game or watch movies in 3D.
"We hope you like red lines"
I swear NL is trolling people who wanted this with that comment.
@CrimSkies97 I would never do such a thing
