Engine Software is porting the classic arcade laserdisc game Mad Dog McCree to 3DS, for release on eShop. That merits at least a reserved “Yee-haw.” Engine’s VP of development Ruud van de Moosdijk told Nintendo World Report that the downloadable six-shooter shooter will be released “very soon.” Engine tracked down publisher Digital Leisure and asked for the rights to create a 3DS version.

You might be thinking that it seems prohibitively expensive to remaster a random arcade game like that, full of real recorded video, in 3D. You’re probably right. Whatever the reason, Engine is opting not to use stereoscopic 3D for the port. ” “There’s really no 3D in the 3DS version,” van de Moosdijk said, “because how were you gonna do that?”
