I own:

Mario 3d world - pretty good
zelda - great
luigi mansion - pretty good
sticker star - pretty bad
Etrian Odyssey - there's like 30 of these and they're tedious as hell
Pokemon - obligatory

What, aside from more anime/jrpgs that I don't want to sit through, am I missing from the must have list of must have list of amazing 3ds games?

Supposedly Kid Icarus uprising is good but has real cumbersome controls. But the rest of the musthaves are all RPGs.

oh i guess animal crossing was big too but i heard nobody plays it still.

3ds is cheap enough to warrant a purchase for 5 great games and i'm glad to have one but gameboys of the past had way more great titles and way less revisions.

eshop wise: pushmo/crashmo are pretty great puzzle platformers

regular games: get over that anime/jrpg phobia bullshit and just play fire emblem. it's good, you'll get into it.

I thought I was I was done with it like 2 months after it came out but I just got back into it big. It's addicting.

if you didn't play donkey kong country returns on the wii then get that because it's the best. also rusty's real deal baseball is actually a lot of fun and I think it's only $16 total if you buy every game. or you can just get cage match and feel the glove for like $1.60 each

the 3ds version of donkey kong country returns is the better of the two versions and also its just a straight up good game so get it for 3ds if you never played it!!

also the benefit of playing it on 3ds is no bullshit motion controls, which was like the only negative point on dkcr's record

Lol @ the idea of Nintendo killing its golden goose (collectible limited edition XLs).
(Initially however I too did think "oh yes, I can get two custom white faceplates on the xl and do a paintjob on it".)

if you get him to level 10 and use a second seal on him he becomes completely ridiculous

Since my first 3ds purchase was a used XL I have no problem with this, OP

Mobile gaming is insanely popular back in Taiwan and I hear it's the same in other asian countries, beating out console gaming by a long shot. This is probably where this is coming from and why it's not a big deal from a business standpoint; the markets there will eat it the gently caress up.

Like, I see WAY more people with Vitas over there whenever I visit family than own consoles yet over here the vita is like dead or something. The 3DS/XL's are everywhere and I haven't seen a 2ds there at all.

People buy PC's for grindy MMO's from Aeria and the like and for Star craft stuff. The rest is handhelds and mobile, but the mobile games I've seen are mostly gaiden and not dedicated in the series.

Fredrick and anna are already OP out of the box. i coldly sacrificed him as a transport vehicle in a suicide assault for my main character to one shot a boss in fewer turns.

my wife also said he just becomes another stahl and I got enough stahl.

i dont know what the gently caress your wife was even talking about because donny can't even turn into a cavalier

also frederick's growths suck and since he's promoted he gains exp way slower than everyone else, you shouldn't use him too much, your characters catch up to him in like three chapters anyway

Yeah but theres like one enemy type in the whole game that can even damage him and he one shots almost every type too. I started playing with only 4 characters by the end of the game to see how fast I could go thanks to him.

Add in anna who gets hit by enemies attacks about 1% of the time and counter attacks 99% of the time from the minute you get her with no need to promote and I am powerless to resist going the babby route. I work all day, I was weak, forgive me
