I just got a 3ds and i'd like some recommendations on what to pick up for it. Let's make the most epic insane list of games that are win!


WHAT I GOT SO FAR:
  • Super Mario 3D Land
  • Shin Megami Tensei IV
  • Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate
  • Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call
  • The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
  • Xenoblade Chronicles 3D
  • Mario Golf: World Tour
  • BOXBOY!
  • Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan

ALREADY ON MY LIST:
  • Pokemon X/Y/Z
  • Bravely Default
  • Fire Emblem Awakening
  • Kirby: Triple Deluxe

I'm curious about Mario Kart 7. Was that any good? Would it be worth picking up even if nobody plays it anymore??

this, but also Fantasy Life, both very fun and relaxing imo. runs factory 4 is another one of my favs because there's just an endless amount of poo poo to do. There's also a new harvest moon coming out March 31st, keep an eye out for "Story of Seasons" (some legal bs resulted in a name change for the series)

edit: lol runs factory 4. thank you iphone

MArio Golf is fairly good for when you don't really have time for a big gaming sesh, but still wanna kill some time.

Where does it hurt?
Link Between Worlds is the best game I've played on 3DS so far. I didn't like fire Emblem Awakening because they don't understand the concept of a difficulty curve and I couldn't get into bravely default at all

It's just boring and you can tell that they just turned the old maps into 3d instead of remaking the whole hting.

Bravely Default is a good game that is twice as long as it needed to be. You can turn off random encounters though and just blaze through the bad part.

RS was already bad and ORAS is pretty much the same game with a lick of paint (and the really good dex nav), so all the poo poo stuff like the same awful pokemon on the surf routes is still in.

Mario Golf is outstanding.

Mario and Luigi Dream Team is one of my faves but a lot of people hate it because it's long.

Triple Deluxe is the best Kirby game.

it gets a bit tougher once you get to the "endgame" but it never gets out of the chill zone, which is good for that kind of game

pokemon oras was OK, i just got used to all the fun new stuff to do in XY and was disappointed that they didn't include those features again. knuc is right about dexnav though, that owned and i hope they'll keep it in all future installments. made catching the pokemon a lot more fun.

RS was my favorite pokemon games and I was a little disappointed in ORAS.

It works surprisingly well on the 3DS. I stopped after the first area because my friend told me the other areas were bad but in retrospect I should have at least tried them out.

if you've never played ocarina of time or majoras mask there is no better time to play them then now
also rune factory 4 and harvest moon a new beginning are solid

Rune Factory 4 is pretty good if you like dungeon crawling, social link style stuff and crafting overlaid onto a harvest moon style resource system. Mario Kart 7 is fun for me still but I really enjoy kart games; I think it's better than the SNES and N64 ones (except for 64's battle mode) everyone always creams themselves over but I'm probably in the minority there. It just has a better single player to me. If you don't yet own shovel knight it has an excellent 3DS port as well.

E: There's one harvest moon game for the 3ds that is REALLY bad where you start out running a store. I forget which one, I think it's Hometown Story. It's really horrible and nothing like the other ones which are really good and fun.

No. it was a ps plus game and its basically a flash game where you just click squares ported onto consoles

Etrian Odyssey 4

Both the Etrian Odyssey games have good demos where you can transfer your saved games to the full version like an old shareware game
They also go on sale all the time, I think they are on sale now.
