Subscribe to our newsletter The idea of shooting the Artemis II launch on a 3DS might sound bananas considering most of us have 4K camcorders in our pockets, but a fan of the retro handheld has shared a unique clip of the takeoff that's more charming than the official feed.Captured by proud 3DS owner Cambot72, the 3DS Artemis II launch clip is as janky as you'd expect.

We're talking about a handheld from 2011 with a 0.3 megapixel camera and zero image stabilization.

Yet, the portable has somehow managed to produce a shot that, despite the resolution, looks pretty clear, and since the camera person has shared the raw video file, you can even watch it back in 3D if you have the console or a compatible screen.Recording the first Human crewed moon mission of its kind in over 50 years on a 3DS is naturally just a bit of fun.

That said, if criticism of NASA's own Artemis II launch footage is anything to go by, space enthusiasts might get more out of the handheld's unique shot ## Editor's Note Stay tuned for more updates as this story develops.
