3DS was the perfect opportunity and Nintendo did not give a tiniest shit.

Someone made a virtual boy emulator for the 3ds (Nintendidn't), and those games just show how much potential they wasted with the 3DS.

Did anyone make a game where the 3D was necessary for gameplay? Absolutely everything I've seen on the console it was optional (except for the emulated VB games).

The screen had a slider where you could turn it off. It kinda had to be optional.
