"Fun and games until Strange opens a portal" : Fans LOL as a Marvel Rivals player gets the game running on a Nintendo 3DS

Nintendo 3DS nostalgia coming right your way! While by virtue of being a multiverse, everything should be possible, one fan of Marvel Rivals, a 2024 video game, still pulled off the herculean task of making the game run on a Nintendo 3DS. Yes, that's right, Nintendo’s console from several generations ago.

This is no small feat considering the grossly limited power that the handheld device has by today's standards. What's the catch? Well, the end result is a chaotic multiverse of madness.

It's all fun and games until Strange opens a portal

Fans are speculating about the arcane magic that has gone into making this possible. Who needs a PlayStation 5 or an Xbox Series X when you can smack other superheroes with your favourite one while sitting on your couch, your car, or under the desk in your classroom (let us not pretend we didn't do that while trading our Pokémons).

It’s like watching Old Man Logan try out trendy Superman shorts. It shouldn't work, but some sorcery makes sure it does.

Put Hulk’s jumping and Spider-Man’s swinging against the Chrome dinosaur, and I'm sure the latter will finally finish its race (wherever it's going). Well, at least the Nintendo 3DS game gets a new enemy: the perpetual buffering!

When videos of this started surfacing, netizens bombarded the comment sections with their humorous takes. It seems that those Nintendo 3DS were not only collecting dust, it was collecting new games now too. What a surprise!

Some fans may have thought, “This is just great! It's so fun to try to distinguish the characters from one another on a screen so big,” commenting on the tiny screens of the 3DS compared to modern smartphones.

Marvel Rival on 3DS without signature Marvel humor? Nah, not happening it seems!

A social media user posted, ( @freeGreesy/X)

all it take is one strange portal and his 3DS explodes

An X commenter thought, ( @EmilioB44/X)

Bruh how did they do this, my pc can’t even run it without dying

Another X user dropped the below comment, (@HydrogenTom/X)

The teammates you get on your rank up game

SO THIS IS WHO IM QUEUING WITH

So the next time you come across someone trying to run Red Dead Redemption 2 on a PS1, give it a thought, have a hearty laugh, brush the dust off of your controller, and be ready to embrace the chaos. May games live on!
