Video: What If Super Mario World Was A 3D Classic?

Do I need a new 3DS in order to watch the video? Can't I watch in my "old" 3DS?

Do this with starfox.

@Jahir Unfortunately, only the New Nintendo 3DS has 3D video support If you cross your eyes, you'll get a rough effect though!

@Jahir Your regular 3DS has no such features, so you're out of luck. The N3DS can convert double-image videos into 3D layers, a feature exclusive to its browser.

The 3D looks really weird in this. It even hurts my eyes a little.

@LeeGarbutt @Kaze_Memaryu
Thanks guys, I guess I'll watch it next month when I get a new 3DS for XC 3D

@Fidu I'm sorry to hear that! I really wish the 3D Slider worked when watching videos

ouch my eyes

Lets just make a bunch of Super NES games 3D.

Oh, and maybe some GBA games too.

Actually you know what, lets do it for pretty much any nintendo game.

I'm thinking Mario Sunshine.

@AugustusOxy At the moment, I can only do this with SNES games

It may be harder to convert than other SNES games...but can you imagine the original Star Fox as a 3D Classic?? MIND BOMB.

I would like a link to the past 3d Classic. That would be awesome.

I'd rather Yoshi's Island got the 3D treatment.

Not perfect - I don't like how Mario appears to be in front of the thing he's standing on. It would need a little tweaking before I'd play an entire game like this. SMW might not even work as a 3D classic, as there is generally one background layer and one foreground layer.

Super Mario World is the best 2D Mario game and one of the best video games ever made if you ask me. I am not sure that it would need one or two 3D layers, though.

I'd love a Super Mario 64 remake for Nintendo 3DS. That would be a huge success, I'm sure.

Needs some tweaking... Mario 'pops' too much, almost looks like he's in front of the surface he's standing on. Games like this would benefit more from adding depth to the background than 'pop' to the foreground. As a proof of concept, this definetly shows that the game could look great in 3D, but this video doesn't...

I really don't think the regular 3DS would have any problems at all with SNES games being emulated or as 3D Classics.

I feel the same about this as the Super Metroid remake you guys proposed. Great games but they're both so easily obtainable these days via the VC, that I don't get even the slightest bit excited about the idea.

There are still games from that era that you can only get on old carts for consoles that are increasingly incompatible with modern TVs. Star Fox might feel a bit redundant with 64 being available but I'd buy that. Yoshi's Island too, instead of that inferior GBA port.

Wow I really like this art, I haven't seen it before!

I'd love to but I don't have a New Nintendo 3DS, they only sell the Xl version where I live.

Whining aside, I've wanted a 3D Classics release for EVERYTHING ever made for the NES/SNES. The treatment Kid Icarus got looks absolutely amazing (though they did add in some additional background details not found in the original game.)

I'd love to see the original Star Fox, Earthbound, and Chrono Trigger like this.

Looks pretty good! I needed to cross my eyes to get it to work, but all worked well.

Mario Himself needs a little tweeking, as well as some small foregroun stuff.

Keep it up! We need 3D Earthbound/Mother 3 next.

An outdated plain 2D platformer that couldn't surpass its predecessor, now on 3D... I think I'll pass on this one (if it was real). I would rather see the Virtual Boy games or something that would look better on 3D such as F-Zero, Star Fox or Axelay. They should also convert the old 8-bit games that used 3D glasses for the Master System and the Famicom.
Just for fun, the guys who made the video should make Atari 2600 games in 3D. How about E.T.?

Nintendo should really fix that awful YouTube app for the 3DS, not only it doesn't play 3D videos, it can't play stereo sound in videos.
EDIT: I meant that I would rather see those games for real on the 3DS, but the "what if" videos would be interesting also.

@OMC79 You might be onto something with Axelay! E.T. though...I'm not so sure

I'm going to do more of these so long as people want them, it's limited to SNES only at the moment - Not all games are possible either, but I have a nice list of possibilities

@Tom41
they did it with Kirby adventures as a 3d classics and I still do not know why they not put that nes game on virtual console yet
also I think for this year is Mario 30 th year this may be the game we get as a limited release for the year

@BarryDunne All you need to do it open the video in the New 3DS' Internet Browser, load the video and under 3D Display, pick the top left option (LR Side By Side)

@BarryDunne I'm afraid it's a little more involved than that. You have to split the footage into layers, mirror them and the manipulate the layers to add depth. It's taken many hours just to get that footage together!

@dizzy_boy Hmmmm... Yes, do this with StarFox. And I shall watch.

yes please!

The 3DS is supposed to playback 3-D videos with the camera app but they have to be in the SD. Could it be possible to see a download link for the video in a compatible format?

Too bad I can't watch this. I wish Nintendo would do more 3d classics, I really enjoyed Kid Icarus. It was fun to finally beat that game because I couldn't do it when I was a kid. It's unfortunate the other 3d classics (only about 3 or 4, right? Did I miss some?) weren't games I liked.
How about 3d Super Castlevania 4? And Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy 6 and maybe Chronotrigger? I would definitely want those!

@Funbunz Those are some fine choices, and I'm already working on some of them

@Jahir HTML5 is needed to watch 3D Youtube, and it's found on the new 3DS, not the older 3DS.

At least this game is far better than NSMB series.

Sadly can't spend the money on a "New" 3DS right now. This was my first ever game and I'd love to own a 3D Classics version of it. Too bad Nintendo stopped doing those. Sega seems to be a step ahead of them in that area anyway.

@Jahir don't know about yours, but my phone reproduces those videos with "cross eye 3D", two images appear and you need to defocus your sight to merge them and see the 3D effect.

Try reproducing the video in a phone or computer.

Smw would make a excellent 3d Classic!

@dizzy_boy - oh, god yes

@MorphMarron I find it a little hard to keep my eyes crossed when it comes to videos so I think I'll pass. Thanks for the heads up though!

Kirby's Dream Land 3 would look amazing in 3D. Just saying.

3D Super Mario World.
Not to be confused with Super Mario 3D world.

I thought you were going to show how Super Mario World would look as a 3D polygon game. Just like how some people say there should be a 3D Kirby game, and there actually was one that was cancelled.

Just think if you could explore Yoshi Island with Wii U graphics and fly with the cape and stuff, Mario 64 style.

Mario-head koopas, classic.

I must be the only one that can cross my eyes, it's not that hard to see the game in 3D if you are able to do that. Also, this wasn't done properly because the 3d depth is out of control.

Usually I'm better at Magic Eyes, but I was able to cross my eyes enough to see this video, and it looks amazing! I'd totally pick this up if Nintendo hadn't given up on doing 3D Classics...but then again, I'd also be excited if they released any Virtual Boy games on 3DS VC :-

do a 3d super metroid vodeo

Looks pretty good though looking at the 3D Classics Kirby's Adventure if Nintendo were to make a 3D version of Super Mario World it would likely be a lot more subtle than what you see in the video.

It looks pretty awesome! Is Link to the Past possible?

And the 2nd game to release should be SECRET OF MANA! I would buy that regardless of the price!

The cross-eye method doesn't work because the two parts are reversed, which in turn reverses the depth, making things that should be far away appear to have a depth as if they are closer than everything else. That's what is making people's eyes hurt.

@LeeGarbutt oh wow, crossing my eyes does work. I can even see the 3D pretty well on my iPad. I wonder if it would be possible to monkey with the aspect ratio to get the proper aspect when you have yours eyes crossed...

Not too bad, but Mario being layered in front of the ground/floor looks weird. This is why simply moving the layers some pixels to the left is not enough for a good 3D effect.

This should have been the very first 3D Classic game. But Nintendo remains out of touch with their own hardware. I love the article. Thanks for the look. Hopefully Nintendo might take after Sega and start bringing some of these types of games to 3D Classics. Hell Duck hunt would
be a decent 3D Classic. There are just so many to list here. Metroid SNES should have been the 2nd 3D Classic and then DraculaX 3rd. Seriously its hard to believe Nintendo can't see these things.

Lord, I wish Nintendo loved the idea of 3D Classics as much as we do.
M2 shows how to do it right.
Nintendo opened with Urban Champion and Xevious (among others) over far more deserving titles.
Perhaps they don't see profit in developing their own 3D line, but a lot of that has to do with the lackluster effort they made. Imaging Zelda: A Link to the Past and SMB 3 getting the same treatment they gave Excite Bike 3D.

@Chaoz I've been testing quite a few SNES games, and LTTP is possible from what I can see

Man, as much as I love this game, I'm not sure I could bring myself to buy it again. I've bought it so many times. I think it would probably just sit there after a novel playthrough of the first level. :-/

This was great, imagine Zelda A Link to the Past!

Super Metroid 3D would be cool

Star Fox 2 3D plz.

@AugustusOxy At this point, I'd be happy to get SNES games even in 2D for 3DS... Same with GBA games, but sense both are on WiiU's VC instead the liklihood of 3DS getting those are about as high as WiiU getting Gameboy games. (Which work fine on the 3DS, as they were handheld games originally. I'm still baffled GBA games are only for WiiU.)

Though, sense "Star Fox" (the original one) has yet to get a VC rerelease, I would love it if Nintendo outsourced it to Q-Games, Akira, or M2, or something to remake it as a "3D Classic" for 3DS's Eshop. I would even pay 10 bucks for it. Especially, if it had some new options added, like a "score attack" (level select) feature, save feature, and such.

Another game i'd like to see as a "3D Classic," is "Wario Land VB," the Virtual Boy Wario Land game. It's often said to be the best VB game. Even if it's only in black & white, (or black and red) with no color options, it'd be great to have, and see in 3D.

Oh my god! Please make this happen! o.O
