No 10. Hidden Games.
Nintendo is pretty well known for including secret levels in their games, especially when it comes to the Mario franchise
so it's no surprise that they would include a couple of hidden games on their 3Ds systems as well a gamer in Japan Found the
First hidden game when they decided to play the mario theme on their 3Ds
They opened the browser and tapped in the first six notes of the famous theme from Super Mario
Brothers players are then treated to a breakout game clone that they can play for those not familiar?
Breakout was a popular arcade game back in
1976 players would use a ball to knock down as many bricks as possible with the highest score to date being
896 Points if the game seems Unimpressive keep in mind
It was created by Steve Bristol Nolan Bushnell and Steve Wozniak another game
That's more overlooked than hidden is Game & Watch Soccer for Older Nintendo Fans
They may remember a time when the company created a series of Handheld
electronic games
If a player pulls the blue string in the middle of the screen when they're on the 3Ds music player screen they'll be treated to
A variety of visualizations while most people may think these animations are simply a way to watch the music
They're actually playable games! No. 9, Ok Go.
Everyone at some point is guilty of putting off a system update once in a while unfortunately
It's a necessary Evil if the user wants to ensure their system is running smoothly
perhaps
Nintendo wanted to encourage users to keep their system up to date when they included this easter egg going to the system settings players can
Select the system update option and the 3DS
will go online and begin downloading and installing the latest system update. It'll also start downloading something else as well.
Players will be treated to a 3D and 2d version of the white Knuckles music video by the band ok go
Yeah, the treadmill guys. There's no real explanation for why this music video is included with the up
It's possible the band wanted a new avenue to explore their innovative music videos after all that's kind of what they're known for
Nevertheless players are gifted this video whether they like it or not if a player wants to keep the video
They should be aware that the video will
Self-destruct after installing a new system update since the video was already released about a full year earlier
No one really knows why this self-destructing video was offered with the system update in the first place, maybe Nintendo
Just wanted to try something new number 8 tour the louvre Nintendo is often known for trying new things even if their attempts are sometimes
unsuccessful they still continue to push ahead in order to innovate the video game industry their
Determination to be at the top of their game is admirable enough to set them apart from other video game companies
Korean air decided to try something different
Themselves in 2012 they sponsored a program at the loop where museum attendees could utilize a special 3Ds as a sort of interactive tour guide
Nintendo helped out as well by donating five thousand handheld systems to the museum using the 3DS
Attendees have three different options for exploring the loop the masterpiece tour guides attendees through the works of art with audio
Commentary and ensures museum goers don't wander off their course
Attendees can also use the must-see tour or the interactive map each option comes with commentary in multiple languages
Unfortunately some users reported the program did not keep up to date with the ever-changing
Museum which could pose problems for attendees for the most part it appears as though users were pleasantly surprised with the ease of use whether
Or not this type of technology in a museum will catch on is anyone's guess number 7
Import mieze one of the most fun aspects of playing on the wii U is being able to create meet some players spend hours either
Creating these who look just like them or creating entirely unique mieze either way most players are pretty attached to their mieze since they've spent
So much time customizing them it's to be expected 3Ds
Owners can also create mieze on their handheld systems as well the setup for creating these on the 3Ds is essentially the same
but what if a player wanted to keep the meet they've already created on their Wii u
Fortunately Nintendo
Obviously thought of this conundrum and created a way for players to bring their Wii Yumi's over to their 3Ds to import already
Established me's all players
Have to do is enter the Mii maker menu from they can access the me channel
We option the 3Ds will then transfer to me over from the Wii U players can also generate qr
Codes to share their me's - there are other systems through email or with other friends for players
obsessed with creating and sharing their me's the 3DS offers the perfect option to do so
number 6 home menu
most owners of A 3Ds are aware of some of the little tricks
Included on the system nintendo always seems to find a way to add something extra to their gameplay one popular method for the 3DS is
The use of the microphone for something other than listening some players have already discovered
How nintendo integrates the use of the microphone and many 3Ds titles for instance players can blow out?
Torches or blow bubbles in Game by Blowing into the 3DS
Microphone of course the results of blowing into the microphone varies from game to game and some games may not utilize this function at all
Nevertheless the inclusion of this feature is an attempt on Nintendo's park to try something new with their gameplay and for the most part it
Works while on the 3Ds home screen users can blow into the microphone and the logo will spin
Several users have noted that some game logos do different things if they blow into the microphone some of the logos may spin around entirely
other logos may have the characters near the logo spin around while the logo stays static while basically
Nonsensical it's still a fun trick to try once or twice number 5 there's
Some players may not be aware of the augmented reality games available for the 3DS
Every system came equipped with several games and cards which were to be used in conjunction with the ar games there are also several other
Games players can unlock as well these titles include games like archery mini golf fishing and me picks
Some of these games can be unlocked by beating other ar games while some need to be paid for with play coins one ar game
available on the Handheld system is globe in Globe players can view a model of the world and their
Location on it players can make the Earth bigger or smaller and they can explore different
Continents one feature of the game allows players to throw a ball at the globe by pressing the a button if the globe is hit
with balls enough times
It'll turn red if a player hits it with even more balls the global eventually
Explode and the 3Ds. Will issue a warning about taking care of the planet after that if players want to play globe again?
They'll have to purchase it from the store for one play coin
It's certainly a strange way to remind players to look after the year number for cuckoo
They're strange addition to the ar games available in the 3DS
Is the clock game less of a game and more of an unnecessary feature clock is swell a clock to be more specific?
it's an augmented reality Cuckoo clock that displays the time like most clocks this cuckoo clock has an hour hand minute hand and a
Secondhand what else does this clock do aside from keeping players punctual?
Well if players press the a button a cuckoo bird will appear from inside the clock and sometimes it will be replaced by a head
The difference between them is the hen will make barking sounds which is more in line with actual chickens obviously while this feature may seem
somewhat pointless
there is one more thing the cuckoo bird can do if a player gets too close to the bird while pressing the a button the
Cuckoo will pop out and crack the user's screen
Virtually of course if a player does this multiple times the cuckoo will crack the screen more until it eventually
explodes
Once this is done the Cuckoo bird will turn black and won't be able to break the screen again until the clock feature has exited
Although this feature is somewhat. Odd it might be fun to see in at least one number three helpful, Pikmin Nintendo
Always goes the extra mile to include fun and exciting easter eggs
and nearly everything they do there are also fans of including fan favorite characters and
Crossovers, whether it's the Super Smash brothers?
Franchise bringing characters together for a fight or including pictures of Mario in a zelda game nintendo loves to bring their brand together as often
As possible it also seems like players love the idea of Nintendo
Crossovers and perhaps have come to expect it if a player decides to perform a system transfer between their 3d s and another
Nintendo system
They'll be treated to another crossover
Anyone familiar with the Pikmin games will immediately recognize the little leaf headed characters who appear on screen during a system transfer these tiny characters?
Are often helpful in games?
so it makes sense that they're called in to help during a transfer as well after all they're used to carting around large items to
Help out during the transfer users
Can watch the tiny Pikmin carry their files from one system to the other it's adorable for sure but not
Necessarily practical Perhaps Nintendo wanted to find a way to entertain users while they deal with the tedious. Task of a system transfer number 2
gyroscope photos the Nintendo 3Ds
includes a camera users can utilize to take photos or video the 3DS is
also
capable of taking 3D photos by using the two cameras on the back of the system as opposed to using the single camera on the
Front this is especially fun for users who want to try out all the features they can the three?
Yes camera also has some special features users
Can explore one feature is the capability to use the camera on a timer some users may like the stop-motion?
aspect which uses photos and merges them into a video then there are the special graphics that users can apply to their photos such as
Sparkles which can be applied by blowing into the microphone on the 3Ds. The
Gyroscopes on the 3Ds makes these graphics even more interesting while moving the 3DS around the graphics will fall or move according to the rules
Of gravity turn the 3Ds on its side and the graphics will ship to accommodate gravity according to the gyroscopes
That's pretty impressive considering. This is a handheld system
It shows that Nintendo put more thought into their camera features and simple overlay graphics number one favorite color
Nintendo users love creating me's whether those me's match the player or are an amalgamation of different features Drawn straight from a gamers?
Imagination creating these is simply fun
this is probably due to the diversity in me choices and the different results players can get while creating their me's when players create their
Me on the Nintendo 3DS
They're asked what their favorite color is players may have noticed that this causes their me sure to change to their favorite color while this
Is a nice change most people probably think that this has no effect on anything else regarding the 3DS
Actually the color of amis shirt does cause a change in the gameplay on the 3DS
Most specifically it relates to streetpass quests depending on which color a player chooses as their favorites their street
Task quests may have different conditions or magic
which can be used in battle for example a red shirt would unleash fire magic during a player's quest a light blue shirt color can
Unleash freezing Magic every shirt color has different abilities to use in the street pass quest the fact that Nintendo went so far as to
Give different shirt colors different abilities as impressive it just goes to show that they care even about the smallest detail in every game
