What happened to 3D Classics?

I just bought Kirby's Adventure 3D Classics and it looks great, but then, when Nintendo put Super Mario Bros. and Metroid, without the 3D Im not sure if i want it them... the real deal putting Virtual Console games in the eShop was to have them with that "extra" 3D option

I understand that Gameboy/Advance were meant to be without 3D, but the NES games ?

anyone?

It's apparently a little more time consuming than one might imagine. Besides, many games don't lend themselves to 3D all too well. Kid Icarus required background art that just isn't possible on a NES, there were two top-down shoot' em ups. An almost remake of an incredibly small game, Urban Champion, and then ExciteBike, which had been completely rebuilt from the ground up, just to support 3D.

The 3D Classics Collection merely existed to give gamers something to purchase while we waited for the eShop to take off. Now the NES Virtual Console is off the ground we might not see any more games.

I think I remember Nintendo saying a while back that the 3D conversion wasn't very simple to do. It could be that Nintendo just wants to release the games now, and possibly update them later, or it just won't bother with it for every game. yoshi_64

its just a shame, could be potential for a SNES library in 3D too, why not?

oh well, i didnt even know that Nintendo said that would be a series of 5 or 6 games

I'd actually rather just play the original version. The 3D didn't do anything for me on Excitebike.

It's a shame they didn't make Punch-Out! a 3D Classic since that's such an obvious one.

according to another site. 3D was harder than Nintendo originally thought so they only wanted to make 6 in total as of now. This could change it's only the start of the 3DS' life.

Yeah as everyone said it apparently was harder to do that they thought. I remember reading at one point that they were only going to do like 6 altogether. I could go either way. I got excitebike of course and also Kirby. They both looked pretty cool but I could live without getting anymore. Besides, I was never really that big a fan of NES games. 3D SNES games would interest me much more.

They need to release Mario Bros 3 in 3D.

The next 3D classic coming out would be Kid Icarus, to go along with pre-order promotion. They should of made Super Mario, Metroid & Punch Out! in 3D... What a miss opportunity.
