Video: Watch The Virtual Boy's Galactic Pinball In Full 3D On Your New Nintendo 3DS

Why do we have to watch it on the New 3DS? Does the 3D of the regular 3DS systems no longer work?

Also, I already own this game.

Fun fact: Metroid Easter egg.

What a great idea. I'd love to see Virtual Boy Wario Land remade for the 3DS.

@OneBagTravel If you check out our YouTube channel, we did a video for Wario Land last week

Would love to see Virtual Boy VC on the new 3DS. Nintendo, hear our prayer!

@TruenoGT

Thank you, that answers my question. I wasn't aware that viewing videos in that regard had been improved.

I got to try out the New 3DS earlier this week when one of the guys on my team was showing off his Majora's Mask system, and I'd have to say, the improved 3D is damn impressive. I fired up Nano Assault in there and it looked fantastic.

But is this the exact same 3D effect? It is not based on different technology and therefore looks different?

Ah yes... I remember wanting the Virtual Boy games emulated on 3DS since it was first announced. But just like GCN games on Wii U eShop, it's such a let down dream...

That game doesn't actually look that bad. The table you showed seems to have a decent design and rule set, but the physics seem to ruin it. I mean, those are some pretty bad "puck" physics.

I'd kill to have VB games on the 3DS VC, especially Galactic Pinball!

@dumedum the 3D effect on the actual system is a little sharper, but the effect is similar.

Pretty cool, I like the music. Personally I have never even seen a Virtual Boy in my whole life.. :-I

you wonder why they never tried to make a few bucks back from those games by putting them on the 3DS virtual console... hmmm

@mch

I haven't seen most Amiibos in real life.

But I at least own a Virtual Boy.

Yet another reason I am loving my new 3ds!

The Wario Land video's 3D was too intense!

Everything was too separated. It looked unnatural and made my eyes do a lot of work. I hope this one's more moderate. You don't have to crank the depth to the fullest just coz.

@WhiteSpyderZero Is there any chance you guys can upload this video to the Eshop or Nintendo Video for everyone to view? and if not is it possible that maybe in the future you guys could set this up? these would be awesome videos for Nintendo Video.

@KnightRider666 That would be awesome! wouldn't that be a shocker if Nintendo announced Virtual Boy games for VC! it might even pull the VC out of its current funk. Heck release every single Virtual Boy game in week 1! Make it happen Nintendo! BTW how have you been my friend? I'm currently hooked on Monter Hunter 4....Such a great game. they went all out on this version. not that they didn't on the others.

I've been saying it ever since they first announced the 3DS: Virtual Boy on VC needs to happen.
The platform was a complete flop and prolongued usage of the hardware gave you headaches, but on 3DS those issues would be a thing of the past. People sometimes equate "sales flop" with "poop library", which is true in some cases (CDi), but otherwise also gives perfectly decent titles like on VB, 32X or 3DO the unfortunate fate of falling into obscurity.
Mario Clash, Teleroboxer, VB Wario Land etc don't deserve that fate.

I'd rather not play a bunch of red and black games to be honest

Okay, Nintendo, put these games on the 3DS, already.

@Windy: It would be a shocker. The only problem is there aren't 2 cross key pads on the New 3DSXL. We can dream, but I doubt it will ever happen especially since Nintendo views VB as a failure and they would love all of us to forget VB ever existed. If by some strange miracle we did get VB on the 3DS VC, it would be 1 game at a time, who knows how often. I've been good. Love my new Red New 3DSXL. I've been playing FF CC. Love the semi-constant flow of DLC! I bought MH4, but have yet to play it. Is it that much of an upgrade from MH3?

I really do want Virtual Boy games on the 3DS. There's actually some pretty fun ones.

You know, I never have understood why Nintendo doesn't release its earlier 3D efforts on the 3DS. STARTING with Rad Racer

I own two Virtual Boys (one broke..). Stupidest things I ever bought. Got a bunch of games et cetera but frankly they're near unplayable. I just want to be able to say "I did that stupid thing".

If the second breaks, I won't be scouring ebay again.

@KnightRider666 I would say its a huge upgrade with the flawless online play and new content that they have included in MH4. I'm loving it so far. They really made it easy to hookup with friends and play online. The new monsters are pretty darn cool too. I want to pick up that Adventure Bar Story in the Eshop but have been lazy and haven't checked on any reviews or the message board. It looks neat though. I'm also waiting for Outrun 3D. We are almost there. I hope Sega will keep bringing us the 3D classics cause if they drop it nobody is going to make them. That will be a bummer.

@sleepinglion well outrun is coming to 3DS as Sega has taken the reigns with 3D Classics. Can't wait!

@sleepinglion: YES! Rad Racer. Heck, it even HAS 3D programmed into it already!

@Windy: You know Outrun 3D will be the last of the 2nd set that they give us because it's the best one. I hope other game companies take note of Sega's radical 3D offerings and follow suit. Did you get a new NEW 3DS XL? I love my red one, but I wish we had EU's blue one. Do you play FF Curtain Call at all? What would be your top 3 most wanted VB VC games you'd like to see on the 3DS VC? I'd take Galactic Pinball, VB Wario Land, and Teleroboxer.

@dumedum On the New 3DS, the tech is way better, because it tracks your face. No more sweet-spot for the 3D to look good, it looks good from almost any angle.

More 3D videos please! I don't have the New 3DS yet, but the Galactic Pinball video looked cool on my 3D TV. Kind of fuzzy, though.

@dumedum VB had separate left and right views (in red) for each eye, 3DS combines both views on one screen. The brain doesn't care how the images get there, so it looks basically the same.

@DarthKirby64 Did you change the YouTube players' resolution to 1080p? That might help

Since NL's using side-by-side 3D, the effective resolution is 960x1080. The Virtual Boy's 384x224, while quite sharp for its day, is going to look fuzzy when enlarged to a big screen.

It's not loading for me on my "New" 3DS web browser for some reason...
