Famicom 3D System

Nintendo's answer to Sega's Master System 3D glasses was a device called the Famicom 3D System. Back in the day, the gaming houses tended to match each other tit for that like that. Similar to Sega's own 3D peripheral effort, the 3D System uses a liquid crystal shutter mechanic to produce a 3D effect. Due to market conditions (read: poor sales), not many games were created for the accessory and it slowly faded into obscurity and disuse. The Famicom 3D System plugs into the 8-bit console's expansion port and supports games such as Famicom Grand Prix II: 3D Hot Rally and Tobidase Daisakusen for the Famicom Disk System. «photo gallery»
