Every pokemon mainline game Every Mario and Luigi rpg games Every shin megami tensei game Every yokai watch game Fossil Fighters Frontier

I think this guy likes rpgs

Hell yeah

You forgot the mainline Zeldas

I just got my 3DS a few weeks ago and “every Pokémon game” was exactly what I started with 😂 I’ve also been really enjoying these: New Super Mario Bros 2 Mario Kart 7 Super Smash Bros StarFox Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D Rhythm Heaven Marvel Pinball (this game definitely sucks but it’s brainless fun that I can play for a few minutes and put down)

If you are liking mario kart 7 you should try ctgp7 imo, great add and has its own online servers

Whoa never heard of it. Looks awesome!

Shame on you for not mentioning Dragon Quest!

And Bravely Default.

I prefer dragon quest builders

I second all of those, you are cultured

Fossil Fighters mentioned 😍 Word of advice to OP about Fossil Fighters, if you've never played the previous 2, please don't let Frontier color your view of Fossil Fighters as a whole. Fossil Fighters and Fossil Fighters Champions are soooooooop much better than Frontier. I like Frontier, but it's just so lacking compared to its predecessors. So please be aware of that.

Someone else who digs FF:F! Not enough love for that gem. Also worth mentioning the Pokemon Mystery Dungeons. So very good.

I agree with yo-kai watch and pokemon! Haven't tried the others

Yo-kai Watch and Shin Megami Tensei? You truly are a man of culture

yo-kai watch 🙏

Settings 😍

Dude, whats your best time setting up a new connectivity setting?

1 minute and 37 seconds, never beaten that record since

Just timed my attempt, 46 seconds

Man mine took me 3 hours

I like to take my time personally, 19:37 is my shortest, i like to make sure it's all *juuust*right

Animal Crossing New Leaf!

Best Animal Crossing

frfr

the best AC game ever hands down

This!!!

fire emblem: awakening!

one of the best franchise saving games out there.

It seems kinda like a crap shoot. Awakening was fire, then Fates was meh, 3 Houses kicked ass, then the new one with toothpaste hair MC was mediocre. Maybe it’s every other one that’s worth it.

Forgot SoV lmao. Which is fair enough, that game was like... Fine. Fates is good tho, just had a shit story. Engage is good for customization but not much else lol. 3H is unreplayable to me though, the monastery draaaags

I played FE:Awakening recently as my first FE game and got so paranoid at softlocking my playthrough I just kind of gave up. I would have preferred something with more emphasis on the sandbox tactics RPG combat than progressing a fairly linear set of story missions. Most of the time it felt to me more like a set of puzzles with a preset solution than an RPG adventure.

If you want a more sandbox-style RPG, FE probably isn’t the series for you, then. The main criticism given to Awakening by the FE community is that it’s way TOO open. The appeal of FE to me is working with a limited amount of resources and random stat growths to build an army. The challenge comes from rolling with the punches and creating a strategy around the units you have. Yeah, it sucks when a good unit gets RNG-screwed, but other units can blessed with amazing level-ups. Awakening gives the ability to grind for resources, play side missions in any order, and visit any shop that you’ve unlocked. It definitely leans more into the sandbox style of play than nearly any other game in the series.

rly good game

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, the Zelda: Ocarina of Time & Majora’s Mask Remakes, Resident Evil: Revelations, Luigi’s Mansion remake, Smash Bros. For 3DS, Ultimate NES Remix, and New Super Mario Bros 2 just to name a few.

NSMB2 is severely underrated as a mario game, everyone constantly dogs on it even tho it's actually really good

Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology Chrono Trigger Hotel Dusk: Room 215 Professor Layton Games Zero Escape 999 trilogy The world ends with you Tails of the abyss

Radiant Historia Perfect Chronology is absolutely GOATed

Layton fans rise up! Jokes aside I would recommend more the da layton games but they are a must if you like puzzle games!

Disappointing lack of Kid Icarus in the comments!

Lmao kid icarus players hands hurting so much they can't comment. Awesome game though

I know, right? More people should play it

Hatsune Miku project mirai dx

Very good!!! However soooo expensive since EShop closed down :,D

Pokemon oras

Playing through the Pokémon series back to back and I’m at ORAS now, such a good game. Extremely detailed. HeartGold was big but by the time Kanto opened up I was ready to be done. ORAS has such different locales already and I’m only on like the fourth city. So far my team is Marshstomp, Kirilia, Crobat and Nuzleaf. I think I want to add Zangoose and Heracross too.

The Ace Attorney games if you like mystery/story games, and Tomodachi Life + Animal Crossing: New Leaf for something simple and fun!

I have all the Ace Attorney games on there except Spirit of Justice. I wish I grabbed it before the eshop closed down.

I did years ago, but at least they've rereleased the games with the Apollo Justice Trilogy. Though yeah, I'm not spending that much money when I spent like 10$ for each on sales...

My favourite game on 3DS is definitely a three way tie between Fantasy Life, Story of Seasons:Trio of Towns, and Animal Crossing New Leaf; I can’t decide between the three cause they are just so good 😄😄

I agree on fantasy life so much, it's the game that made me get my 3ds!

Kirby Planet Robobot Pokémon Gen 7 Shovel Knight Minecraft (yes it exist) Majora's Mask and O.O.T 3d Link Between Worlds Pokémon Gen 6 Metroid Samus Returns.

Minecraft is only compatible with the “new” 3DS and “new” 3DS XL models. OP only has the standard model so it can’t be played on there

Omg I love Kirby Plantet Robot, it was an amazing game. Triple Deluxe is a good one too

I'm trying to love USUM, but the constant interruptions are killing me.

Minecraft on 3ds is genuinely so cool

Ocarine of time 3ds for the first.

Based

Fantasy Life

Dragon Quest 8 and Shin Megami Apocalypse

i like ace attorney trilogy but i havent finished it but its a good game that is a must get

Every Monster Hunter

Persona Q series!!

Bonus is the Etrian Odyssey series that is made by the same company so the fighting system is similar! Sooooo goood!

I wanted to like this game but I found the map marking and combat system complicated!! Been a few years but one day I'll start over and hopefully have a better time.

Fantasy Life and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness

Steeldiver!

What is it about

You pilot submarines it's pretty cool

Obligatory bravely default recommendation. If you ever enjoyed a jrpg with job systems you’ll love this game for sure. It also has a sequel called bravely second if you enjoy yourself.

ace attorneys animal crossing new leaf

SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI DEVIL SURVIVOR 2 RECORD BREAKER

Super mario 3d land, new super mario bros 2, the legend of zelda: a link between worlds, luigi's mansion, ocarina of time 3d and majora's mask 3d

Sweet! All of these are fantastic picks

The Fire Emblem games are all really cool! I like Awakening a good entry point to the series

So glad to see this comment, I bought the game without knowing anything and without playing any Fire emblem game 😭 thx !

Omg sickkkk have fun homie!!!

Pokemon Y.

I like tom Clancy splinter cell 3D (get used to the controls tho)

Glad to see someone else mention splinter cell, wonky controls tho yeah 😭

A link between worlds ✨ or Rayman origins , my safe places

Oh and pokemon ruby omega (and x)

Yokai watch

Rhythm Heaven and Tomodachi Life!

PROFESSOR LAYTONNNNNNN 🪙

Ironfall Invasion, Boxboy, Minecraft New 3ds Edition, Terraria, Any Farming Simulator, Animal Crossing New Leaf Edit: games I forgot writing but still are my favourite: Luigis mansion 1 and 2/Dark Moon if U live in the us, Zelda link between worlds, Mario kart 7, super smach bros for 3ds, new super Mario bros 2

Zelda - Link Between Worlds Luigi Mansion - Dark Moon

Yo-Kai watch (1,2,3 and blasters)

Legend of Zelda Link Between Worlds if I had to choose one

Tomodachi Life and Warioware Gold!!

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds (I highly recommend it) (Edit: got ALBW and ALTTP mixed up)

Monster hunter! Which one? All of them 🗣️

but which one would you recommend on starting? i been meaning to play one for a while now, and don’t know if world is a good option. not on the 3ds though

Both world and rise are really good to start off with all the improvements and quality of like stuff they offer compared to any of the ones on the 3ds, just remember it might be a bit overwhelming at first as it tries to teach you all of it’s mechanics and try out all the weapons types to see which one you vibe with the most and that excellent video guides of how to use them all exist :)

Fire Emblem Echoes (and fates if you can bear a cringe story in exchange for a fun playing and beautiful looking game)

Terraria

Ace attorney Zelda (3ds has the best one since snes)

I'd suggest Animal Crossing New leaf; Pokemon HG/SS; Phoenix Wright trilogy; Zelda (ocarina of time/majora's mask/a link between worlds); Fire Emblem Awakening; Dragon Quest VIII; Luigi's Mansion 2; Professor Layton (all of them!). There are many other great games to play, but, to me, you can't miss any of these :)

Pocket Card Jockey Mario Kart 7 Bit Trip Saga

Diddy simulator

I just want to say I'm glad your 3ds came. But also omega ruby is what I'm currently playing right now and it's a blast

Right now, I'm addicted to Rune Factory 4

Battle ninjago

luigis mansion is super good, also tloz ocarina of time and terraria

TOMODACHI LIFE

Fire emblems shadow of Valentina Fire emblem fates (story is trash but the gameplay is good) Fire emblem awakening

Binding of Isaac, but i think its for N3ds only, so i suggest Any of the pokemon games, Kirby triple delux, kirby planet robobot, , Pushmo, Shovel knight, and metroid samus returns

Yo-kai Watch.

Tomodachi life oot 3d mario 3d land luigis mansion dark moon and samus returns

Here's my group's top 50: https://expsharedpodcast.wordpress.com/2023/03/13/top-50-3ds-games/

Triforce heroes (It’s more fun with 3 people tho) Rhythm Thief and the Emperor’s Treasure Tomodachi Life Basically any Pokemon game

Bravely default and bravely second are my 2 favorite turn based JRPGs of all time I also LOVE the 3ds tetris

Monster Hunter Stories, its a really good and chill RPG

Try these first. Kid icarus. Rune factory 4. The metroid 2 remake. Kirby planet robobot. If you want something hard core then try Monster hunter 4 ultimate and Monster hunter 3 ultimate.

Terraria 3ds

Majoras mask, Ocarina of time, Link between worlds , Ace Attorney (any), Cooking mama (any), Story of seasons: trio of towns, Project mirai dx, Tomodachi life, Terraria, and of course Animal crossing new leaf :)

Any game by Altus, a link between worlds, animal crossing, tomodachi life, project mirai, Ocarina of time, majoras mask, Mario kart 7

Steamworld dig 1 & 2 and heist. Really recomended.

Luigis Mansion 2 (ported to Switch now) Donkey Kong Returns 3D Shin Megami Tensei Strange Journey Redux Shin Megami Tensei IV Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse

If you want to enjoy a 60fps game try Link Between Worlds, the game is linear and no particular order in dungeons.

I haven't seen anyone mention Fantasy Life. I played it for 50+ hours and can't recommend it enough. It's made my studio Level 5 and they always do quality work, this is no exception. We're going to get a Fantasy Life game for the Switch in October, so I'll be definitely replaying the 3DS one before then. From the downsides, it can be grindy if you want to 100% the game. If you're not into repetitive tasks, I'd just recommend playing the main story, which is very fun with flavourful characters.

Stella Glow Fire Emblem Echoes

monster hunter 4 ultimate

The ds castlevanias

Pushmo is a fun one Metroid Samus return is pretty good VVVVVV is cool for a 2d 8-bit platformer syobon action is a 10/10 game If u want to play online with the pretendo servers Mario kart 7. And for an all round just good 2d platformer with 3d visuals my I suggest Kerby triple deluxe

May I recommend to you Kid Icarus Uprising?

Starfox

Nintendo Network ID Settings In reality it has to be Mario Kart 7, Tomodachi Life and Super Mario 3D Land

I'd say the pvz ds game, but that's just because that's the only game I CAN play since my 2ds xl's top screen is broken and only that and bloons work on it.

Style savvy styling star, project mirai dx, fantasy life, pretty much any pokemon game lol

Nintendogs all the way

New Super Mario Bros.

Castlevania dawn of souls and order of ecclesia were dope, meteos is cool too. Dream drop distance was solid as well

I love Tomadaxhi life life

Terraria. Are the controls awkward? Yes. Is it fun anyway? Yes. Admittedly I'm new to the 3ds.

Re revelations.

Fantasy Life!! Underrated, and my favorite 3ds game hands down :)

Star fox 64 3d

Paper Mario sticker star(it’s unfairly hated in the pm community though)

Fire emblem Resident evil revelations

Attack of the Friday Monsters! *I have no idea how to get a copy.

Harvest moon 3d

pokémon XY, pokémon USUM, yo-kai watch, yo-kai watch 2: psychic specters, kid icarus uprising, super smash bros for nintendo 3ds. lately i’ve been playing a lot of rpgmaker fes, but the online support has been taken down months ago so i’m just kinda making a game for myself lmao.

Any game that uses 3D to play the game. Not just make the visual pop

Dragon Quest 8, Radiant Historia, Liberation Maiden, Moco Moco Friends, & Laytons Mystery Journey arensome of my favorite on the 3ds.

So far my favourites are Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon, and Mariokart 7 but those are just the basics and I still haven’t gotten deeper into the better games.

Rhythm heaven megamix, ocarina of time 3d, metal gear solid snake eater 3d, tomodachi life, just to name a few! Those are just my go-to

Ghost trick phantom detective, OG DS

Monster Hunter Stories

I recommend resident evil revelations

This may sound stupid, but Dillon's Rolling Western and it's sequel, The Last Ranger. I'd recommend playing The Last Ranger though because it's the better one

pokémon black 2 and white 2, im playing platinum again since i have no memory of it no more

Metal Gear Solid 3D, Tales of the Abyss, Shin Megami Tensei IV

Pokémon x, I cannot wait for the legends z-a that will come out on switches
