3D Challenge

This game was never completed and/or given a public release. As a result of this, keep in mind that the developers might have used or deleted some of the content featured here, had the game actually been released.

  This prototype is documented on Hidden Palace.

3D Challenge is a tech demo made to showcase the stereoscopic 3D functionality of the 3DS. It was shown on the show floor at E3 2010, but this build is from January 2011.

To do: Look around in the files a bit more: Loads of assets for a game called "pdance". Check if the game is functional. If not, document its assets. Several files in the lyt folder are labeled as "Eng". Look into them. Unused/early music. Also: There are 3 additional prototypes to cover, in addition to one partially recovered prototype.

Unused Games

Inside the files, five unused games can be found, in various stages of intactness. Some of them are retained from the game's showcase at E3 2010, albeit are somewhat broken here.

Dance

A stage where the player has to figure out which of the dancers are in 3D. The flat dancers and wooden floor have since been removed. The question roughly translates to "How many 3D people are there?"

Chocolate

Features a random amount of chocolates and other similar objects on a flat plane resembling a box of chocolates, though it too lost a few textures, using the same untextured plane as the Dance game. After selecting one of the options, they roll down on the table. The question roughly translates to "How many 3D chocolates are there?"

Frog

Features a frog with glitched textures looking up at the screen, then jumping into a pile of leaves, after which you have to find it. Doing so will make the frog jump at the screen. The question roughly translates to "Where is it hiding?" The frog used to have normal looking textures in earlier builds, but for whatever reason they are broken here.

Ninja

Features a Mii disappearing into a puff of smoke, after which you have to find them. The question is the same one as in Frog.

Basketball 2

An alternate version of the Basketball game, where three people are holding the ball below the hoop and you have to guess who will dunk the ball. There's no arrow present, so it's a bit difficult to tell who's selected. The question roughly translates to "Who will dunk the ball?"
