The 3DS will always be one of my favorite handhelds, not only because it had some great games, but because it taught me a lesson about hard work and determination. I got my 3DS when I was around nine or ten, and it was the most expensive item I owned at the time. I spent around a month earning up for it by doing chores like scrubbing out bathrooms, which seemed rather daunting at the time. My mom said that if I was able to save up for it before a certain deadline (which I have now unfortunately forgotten), she would buy me a game to go along with the system. When I finally saved up enough money to buy it, my mom scheduled an in-store pickup at a nearby Toys-R-Us. I was so excited for the 3DS, that I dreamed about it on one of the four nights leading up to getting it. I remember the day I picked it up so vividly. It was an extremely hot August day, and barely anyone else was in the Toys-R-Us parking lot. I walked into the store with my siblings and my parents, and picked up my then-brand-new Aqua Blue 3DS and a copy of Super Mario 3D Land. After checking out, I excitedly returned to the car, where I ecstatically unboxed it and set it up. The first game I played on it was Face Raiders, as I was very curious when I saw it preinstalled on the home menu. I later played Mario 3D Land after updating the system, and I had fun with it for the rest of the day. The 3DS kept me entertained for so many years, and it taught me that if you set your mind to something, you can achieve it in due time. I'm fifteen now, and although my original 3DS is now broken, it will always have a place in my heart and mind as the first console I truly earned. If you took the time to read this comment all the way through, thank you!
That's so cool! Such a good memory too! While I don't specifically have a single memory of when I got my first 3ds, I was pregnant with my first daughter when I got an XL with happy home desinger on it as a gift to get me through some of the lulls when I ended up awake with a sleeping baby on my knee in the middle of the night. My eldest now has her own 2ds and loves sharing her nitendogs with everyone she meets. Knowing that she's going to love playing all through my massive games collection for the system on rainy days as she gets older makes me feel warm inside as they get loved again by the next generation.

Professor Pro I regret buying it... games are too expensive where I live and I heard SO many people talking about this game, but I couldn’t get to it at all. just felt bored
I dont care if people say the 3ds is "dead". It will NEVER BE "dead" to me. I love my switch but my 3ds is just irreplaceable! So much that I plan on buying a new 2ds XL before Nintendo discontinue them. So that my 3ds library can be played still YEARS after my current 3ds battery dies. There are just so many reasons the switch just cant replace the 3ds. For me the journey with my 3ds continues on more than ever. Sure there will be less people on streetpass etc. But my enjoyment will always remain. The impact that the 3ds had on the gaming industry and its fans will live on and always be treasured. #LongliveThe3ds #3dsWillNeverDie
@@Josh-md1bc yeah my 3ds is the new 3ds XL model. Its got alot of life to it still but Nintendo will someday discontinue the 2ds/3ds. So im definitely gonna buy a 2dsXL soon and keep it in storage till i need it. Ill do the system/data transfer from my old one to my new one then get rid of my old one.
I was addicted by android online games for several years, then I bough N2DS just because I want to free from online games and take back my life 😅. Amazingly, its work!.
Raylight compared to console game and shi we have now, then kind of lmao but for most people who grew up wit a ds and it being a big part of their childhood it’s a lot more meaningful
999tales that is very true I have been playing Nintendo things like the wii and ds, started my gaming addiction when I was 3 and got the ds with a couple Mario games
The 3D effect really adds that something special to video games! I always have the 3D slider turned up to the max! Except when one of my kids is hanging over my shoulder asking " can I watch what you're playing dad"?
My story with 3DS comes from a place of desperation yet love for Nintendo. I'm from India, and Nintendo never gave a shit about my country. They don't sell their consoles here officially, and the E-Shop isn't even accessible. When my family decided to go backpacking across Europe, I was overjoyed to know that I could get a 3DS from one of the stores! After doing my research (or so I thought), I got one along with a copy of Pokemon: Sun. It was not until I was back in India when I realized that the 3DS is region-locked. Worse, the 3DS games which are available through third-party sellers in India are for devices with US region-locks. Anyhow, I didn't give. A year later, one of my relatives who stays in Europe agreed to send me two games (Super Mario Bros and Monster Hunter 4). I have absolutely enjoyed playing a total of three games on my 3DS and now, finally, I found out that the latest version of 3DS can be hacked! I hope I successfully install Homebrew/CFW and get to play all the amazing games for this device. Thanks for reading!
I know that the 3D was problematic for a lot of people, but for me it honestly makes a huge difference. This feels like the best way to play games. Obviously the performance doesn’t compare to the modern consoles though. Thanks for some wonderful memories 3DS
@@First-Last_name I have a new version but I also had an original for a while. I personally thought they were both good but unquestionably super stable 3D is better
@@alexwingo8094 It's down to personal preference, but I had my 3d slider off for so long until I got a New 3dsXl and from then on the slider was up. The super stable and OLED screen took away my eye strain and constant difficulty finding the perfect angle.
LordJack225 Pig He’s a Nintendo RUclipsr that posted a top 3ds games list like half an hour before this video was put up. Looks like great minds think alike :)
That game is amazing. It's awesome. Hands down one of the best and criminally underrated. I used to play years ago but no idea where it went, but its so expensive to buy now. Might see if I can buy a digital version somewhere. That, Code of Princess and Bravely Default are all super expensive but I need them. Ever Oasis too. It's a superb mix of Animal Crossing and Zelda.
The 3DS will always be my favourite console ever. The DS Lite was my first ever gaming system (yes im pretty young) and I loved playing super mario bros, nintendogs, animal crossing, mario kart ds and loads others. I have a new nintendo 3ds now and I still love it so much. I will never not own a 3DS
What about Mario and Luigi Dream Team? That game was so fun and so charming and introduced a lot of new features along with a pretty sizeable storyline that could keep you playing for hours.
@@stevenreyes4791 But looking past all the dialogue and tutorials there was so much fun stuff to see and do and play. The tutorials really only lasted until Dozing Sands with a couple miniscule ones tossed in just to help beginner players. I had fun with the game
Sad to see that Fantasy Life did not make this list. Fantastic game with a lot of replayability and the various 'Lifes' you can partake in for combat, gathering, and crafting, all make for a very fun game with lots to do. The dialogue is extremely goofy like 'Your Royal Harrrrr-ness!' when speaking to Olivia is pure comedic gold, IMO.

@@edwardrobinson5470 I do too actually. I played it a bunch months ago and just started playing it again and forgot how well it performs for what it is. Its great fun and also has a decent story to boot.
The only problem I have with lists like this is the lack of single-platform only games. Some are only on 3DS, but a good number are re-releases, remasters or remakes. Can we please have a list of best games only on 3DS instead?
ORAS is the worse of the 3DS Pokemon games. The multiplats & 3rd party ips should only need one rep (too heavy on Capcom titles), also no SMT 4, Persona Q2, a 0 escape title, Project X Zone, or Mario Kart 7.
@@timbred8532 Damn, Drawn to Life is so underrated. I am 11 years old and my brother gave me his DSi and Drawn To Life IT IS FANTASTICO! But Im stuck on a level ;-;
10. Mario kart 7 9. Monster hunter generations 8. Pokemon sun 7. Minecraft 6. Smash bros 5. Louigi's mansion dark moon 4. Shantae and the Pirate's Curse 3. Donkey kong country returns 2. Animal crossing new leaf 1. Metroid: Samus Returns
The DS consoles have been amazing and although it's best days are behind us it still is a amazing and worthy purchase even today as the 2ds and 3ds have a amazing catalogue of games to chose from. If you have a DS, treasure it, if you dont you should seriously consider picking one up❤👊
Nintendo didn’t make either of them. One was Level-5, the other was Grezzo. Nintendo just published Fantasy Life in the west as part of their relationship with Level-5
PrettyGreenMaiden I knoww! they never even came out with the mobile version that they were supposed to? at least not in the US.. such a good game.. n worth every penny.. could play that for hundredddds of hours easily
I will never forget the fond memories I had with my 3DS. I got mine when I was 14, and the library of games I had played housed some fun times. So yeah, this gonna be a long one. I had fun 100%-ing Super Mario 3D Land. It was my very first game for the system, and I loved the its clever uses of the 3D slider. I loved racing my friends in Mario Kart 7. Just a shame te roster wasn't as big as the other MK games, but I still had fun, and MK7 Rainbow Road is still my favorite iteration of the track. Along with the remix. I loved re-playing classic N64 remade games like Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, and Star Fox 64. I remembered the time my friend and I both bought Pokemon X & Y at its launch date. Fire Emblem Awakening was my first entry of the series, and I don't regret it either. Kid Icarus Uprising was a game I kept re-playing non-stop. From the story, the cast, the music, and even the gameplay. Control issues aside, I still consider it to be one of my top favorite 3DS games. A Link Between Worlds easily became one of my favorite titles in the Zelda series. From its creative dungeons, the fun combat, and being a major step up from Skyward Sword in terms of less hand-holding. I remember the amount of hours I sank into Bravely Default, and housing one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard. Kingdom Hearts 3D was what sparked my love into the KH series. Kirby Triple Deluxe and Planet Robobot were some of the most fun, charming, and creative 2D platformers I ever played. Pokemon Sun & Moon/Ultra Sun & Moon gave me a bittersweet end to the last time I could play these games on a handheld. Fire Emblem Echoes, while had some flaws, I was engrossed with both its the story and its cast. Mario & Luigi: Dream Team was slow at start, but the rest of the journey was silly and endearing. With a great soundtrack to boot. Superstar Saga DX while slightly inferior to its original counterpart, I still enjoyed traveling across BeanBean Kingdom like the GBA days of old. Shantae and the Pirate's Curse was easily the best game in the series, hands-down. The Azure Striker Gunvolt games were fun, fast-paced, and a blast to replay multiple times. The hours I had in Animal Crossing: New Leaf were super cutr and enjoyable. Hopefully New Horizons will deliver a similar experience. Paper Mario: Sticker Star...yeah. And lastly, Super Smash Bros 3DS. This was a game me and collage buddies were hyped about since then, and I enjoyed it more than the Wii U version in terms of better content and stages. One of the characters I wanted in the most was Shulk, and you could imagine how shook I was. And thanks to Ultimate, we got to see some of the 3DS stages in full HD glory. -Sadly, still no Rainbow Road-. My 3DS is a system that maybe gone, but will never be forgotten.
@@blablabloblo2118 dude it took me like 20 hours to finish x y and i took it slowly i finished it in like 2 days ago i played sun and moon and finished it in 1 and a half week it took me about 60 hours to finish it but the game was so good and trying to complete the pokedex which i did and battling online and shiny hunting and other stuff I have over 550 hours on pokémon sun the game is that good
Rune Factory 4 is definitely up there for me. I'm surprised how many people are mentioning fantasy life though, that game kind of came and went without me noticing.
Q2 is truly fantastic. The gameplay, graphics and characters are great. I loved the new characters and setting as well as the return of my favourite characters from persona of course.
Persona Q2, Strange Journey Redux, SMT 4, the Devil Survivor remakes and Radiant Historia are some of the best RPGs in the 3ds. Dont @ me. (Also im not including PQ1 because good lord those maps give me brain cancer)
When I'm toilet gaming on the 3DS , my go-to game is Phoenix, which allows me to really evacuate my bowels by screaming out "OBJECTION!!!" right along with the game.
*Fantasy Life is the best game (best graphics, storyline, open-world, everything) to have ever come out on this platform.* Probably one of my top three videogames ever, and my first is the Witcher III. The fact that it's not only not the first but not even on this list proves quality isn't the only factor in popularity...
Strong list but no Shin Megami Tensei game? Seriously? The ones on the video are very good. But games like Shin Megami Tensei IV or Strange Journey Redux are even better than most of those. You also forgot Etrian Odyssey, Tales of the Abyss, Virtues Last Reward, Devil Survivor, Dragon Quest... What's wrong ppl? I'd swear you haven't played them. I know it's a matter of tastes but SMT are HUGE games that deserve to be mentioned.
I'm wounded by Rune Factory 4's exclusion. The relaxing yet rewarding gameplay of Harvest Moon pairs with a satisfying, fast paced, open-ended dungeon crawler with more depth than even many console games, all at your own pace! Of all the 3DS games I played it felt like the most complete package. Or maybe I'm just a hopeless weeb 😅
Try out the Professor Layton games. I recommend starting with Professor Layton Azran Legacy if you prefer stories, Professor Layton Miracle mask if you prefer puzzles. Also, try out Professor Clayton vs Ace Attorney since it's my favorite 3ds game.
Finally, a list with Kid Icarus on it. And of course it a fan voted one, critics and tubers always tend to forget about it! Side note btw: It must’ve been a while since I’ve last watched a NL video, cause back then every video was just Alex on the camera/mic.
Titles I would have put on the list: Mario Kart 7, Mario and Luigi: Dream Team, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, Zelda: Tri Force Heroes, Kirby Triple Deluxe, Star Fox 64 3D, Pokemon Sun/Moon, Metal Gear Solid 3D: Snake Eater
@Bryson Shepherd Oh, by a longshot. I would put Tri Force Heroes on the list IN ADDITION to the other three Zelda games on the 3DS. I'm thinking what I would add to my theoretical list of 25 games. The other 17 games would pretty much be in this video already, so I didn't mention them. Was just giving a shoutout to the other 3DS titles I like.
Gamestop restocked a 2DS yesterday morning and I instantly bought one, I missed out on this era as a child I went from GB,GBA,DS to Xbox and Xbox 360 so I missed out on some of the best nintendo games ever made. Plus still have yet to play pokemon X and Y (just never wanted to play it on emulators even tho ive played all the others) and am excited to finally try it out
The 3DS is officially done for. It was fun while it lasted. The only reason why I bought it when it first came out was to play Ocarina of Time. And then I gradually started to get more games.
@Dark Shadow Storm by that logic the Wii u is still not dead since some and I do mean some games are still coming out for it including the Wii with the just dance games so your logic is flawed face it the 3ds is dead i loved the thing it's what got me to gaming in the first place but it's time to move forward with the switch and now switch lite .
@@autisticgaming2004 not quite, a 3ds game still came out this month (was in the Nintendos official trailer and the very first game on it) so not 100% dead, but slowing down definitely. Capcom still have working servers on it for MHG so it's even worth it if your a fan of that too.
@@meikahidenori again just dance 2020 coming to the Wii ? Its dead I loved the thing to death but it's time to move on very few games are coming to the 3ds to consider it a fully alive system and the switch is meant as a hybrid of both handhelds and home consoles into one system yes it's dead by my and many others book .
I never cared for Ocarina of Time or Majora's mask when they were on the N64. Then they came to 3ds and they became my favorite games on the system. They were so much better for me personally that I still play them to this day. I went back to them on N64 and I still don't like them there, but on 3ds they are great.
Went looking for best of lists for GameCube and 3DS and tour lists for both were the absolute best. You join SwitchUp and Switch Corner for my Nintendo channel subs. Man, why is every Nintendo channel out of the UK? Well, whatever, keep up the awesome work!
Just got a new 2ds xl again after selling mine over 2 years ago. I cant wait to jump into these games again and pick up some that I never have tried before.
Just got a 3DS XL and Super Smash Bros 3DS is the best. Feels good playing it in your hands. Ppl still play online and the Custom mode is a cool addition, lets me speed up the gameplay. Don't need Ultimate lol
The Phoenix Wright and Professor Layton crossover game is amazing. There are SO MANY amazing DS and 3DS games. I have a Switch but I still play my 3ds xl constantly.
@@LuisMartinez-jk3yo I absolutely would. Professor Layton was my first DS game. You don't need to start with the first game of the franchise either. All of them are easy to pick up and begin. Professor Layton is just brain teasers with a storyline between them but it's a great game. The Phoenix Wright games are great as well, and the DS ones are easier to come by. The crossover game if you're looking to buy the cartridge can be very expensive but you can buy the digital versions. I personally suggest at least 1 game from each franchise before playing the crossover, just to get the best experience. I hope you love them as much as I do. I know that they're something I still replay now and would be excited if I could play again the first time. Phoenix Wright tends to have more wit and excitement. I always played Professor Layton at the end of the day. I hope this helps and I really hope you get to try them and love them. 💙
@@SwedePotato314 HELLO! Me again. Quick question. All the Phoenix Wright games for the 3DS are on sale on the eShop right now. Which one would you recommend?? Thanks
i still play my n3dsxl every day.. its hacked though, my all time favorite handheld. I got a switch but i play my 3ds a ton more.. I loved the OOT 3ds port.. that was just a masterpiece.
I gave a little cheer when Kid Icarus arrived. For one fleeting moment I felt like democracy hadn't failed us once again. I think I'd have found space for Pokemon Sun/Moon, Dragon Quest 8, Rhythm Paradise Megamix and as many SEGA 3D classics as I could fit in the remaining space.
The omission of Virtue’s Last Reward is absolutely criminal! Much better “mature” title than Resident Evil Revelations. A should out to Captain Toad as well
Thank you for including Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask, and Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright. As it was the most successful third party DS game, I think it's great that it continued on in 3D.
Only started collecting this year but I already have almost all of these games so i'm happy. Got a DSi last year and that got me back into handheld gaming and now the 3DS is such an amazing step up. Glad I came in at the end with all these amazing new games to pick up and play while I increase my switch collection for my non-existent switch!!
I sort of wish that multiple games from one franchise, and of the same gameplay style, were compressed into one slot, in order to allow for additional variety and show newcomers more options.
I'm glad Ace Attorney and Professor Layton got their time to shine! But what about all the love and support ATLUS gave the 3DS? SMT: Apocalypse and SMT: Soul Hackers are some of my favorite 3DS games. Please check them out!
My favorite 3DS games at the moment are Animal Crossing New Leaf, Fire Emblem Fates Birthright, Fire Emblem Awakening, and Tomodachi Life which didn't make this list but can actually be quite fun for a game that's geared towards younger audiences. Thanks for the list, I'm trying to find new games to play. I still have a copy of Zelda: The Majora's Mask, which I found this afternoon, and I'm thinking of playing that again. From this list I'm thinking I also want to try that Pirate's Curse game, looks cool.
I regret buying ultra sun cos it was pretty much the same as pokemon moon😕 wormhole function was cool tho and I might go back to it at some point 🤷🏽♂️

Perhaps someone or no one has mentioned these, but I liked a vast majority of the Street Pass games from Find Mii/Puzzle Swap - Battleground Z/Ultimate Angler as I found them to be fun and addicting, especially Monster Manor, Ultimate Angler, both Find Mii games & Puzzle Swap. Warrior's Way was the weakest of the bunch. However, these games did rely on getting Street Passes which I know was difficult to come by in some places.
I'm always looking for something new on my 3ds, but I feel like you should have curated the games that are also available on the switch either outside the list, or commented the port exists.
All 3DS Pokémon outings were terrible compared to the previous games in the series. One goood thing that came out of X/Y/OR/AS were good soundtracks, that's it. Sun/Moon and their "special" editions were super uninteresting, never went back after the first playthrough.
Whole up, DID YOU JUST SAY THE FATES HAS GOOD WRITING AND A GOOD STORY?! THE HECK! It's story/writing is trash, but the gameplay is dope. If you want a good story, go play Shadows of Valebtia.

The first that really caught my interest was Super Mario 3D Land: why? Because it was done so colorfull and wonderfull and it got me excited and curious how to wander around in that game. The second game was actually Zelda a link between worlds. These 2 are the only gems that actually moved me until this day. Oh and also Animal Crossing: so relaxing and really good spend some good times on it. After those, in the eshop I bought Zelda Seasons and Zelda Ages on the GB virtual console and also Metrioid II. These games do stand the test of time and they do deserve to be played even once more (I own these on GB, but I went through these games a 3rd time now) And I STILL enjoy to play it through again. Zelda's and Mario games are the ones to get guys if you want to have worth your money on any Nintendo. :) Highly recommended.
The 3DS will always be one of my favorite handhelds, not only because it had some great games, but because it taught me a lesson about hard work and determination. I got my 3DS when I was around nine or ten, and it was the most expensive item I owned at the time. I spent around a month earning up for it by doing chores like scrubbing out bathrooms, which seemed rather daunting at the time. My mom said that if I was able to save up for it before a certain deadline (which I have now unfortunately forgotten), she would buy me a game to go along with the system. When I finally saved up enough money to buy it, my mom scheduled an in-store pickup at a nearby Toys-R-Us. I was so excited for the 3DS, that I dreamed about it on one of the four nights leading up to getting it. I remember the day I picked it up so vividly. It was an extremely hot August day, and barely anyone else was in the Toys-R-Us parking lot. I walked into the store with my siblings and my parents, and picked up my then-brand-new Aqua Blue 3DS and a copy of Super Mario 3D Land. After checking out, I excitedly returned to the car, where I ecstatically unboxed it and set it up. The first game I played on it was Face Raiders, as I was very curious when I saw it preinstalled on the home menu. I later played Mario 3D Land after updating the system, and I had fun with it for the rest of the day. The 3DS kept me entertained for so many years, and it taught me that if you set your mind to something, you can achieve it in due time. I'm fifteen now, and although my original 3DS is now broken, it will always have a place in my heart and mind as the first console I truly earned.
If you took the time to read this comment all the way through, thank you!
Child labour copypasta is the best
brokenstyx this isn’t a copypasta but alright
brokenstyx Actually it does kind of read like a copypasta lol
That's so cool! Such a good memory too!
While I don't specifically have a single memory of when I got my first 3ds, I was pregnant with my first daughter when I got an XL with happy home desinger on it as a gift to get me through some of the lulls when I ended up awake with a sleeping baby on my knee in the middle of the night. My eldest now has her own 2ds and loves sharing her nitendogs with everyone she meets. Knowing that she's going to love playing all through my massive games collection for the system on rainy days as she gets older makes me feel warm inside as they get loved again by the next generation.

Professor Pro I regret buying it... games are too expensive where I live and I heard SO many people talking about this game, but I couldn’t get to it at all. just felt bored
Set your 3DS to 3D to pay respects
Wait it can do that?
Done
Scrubs with 2DSs: *confusion Intensifies*
3D full in effect!
And everybody with a 2DS needs to change theirs to 2D
who's here after they modded their 3ds ;)
I dont care if people say the 3ds is "dead". It will NEVER BE "dead" to me. I love my switch but my 3ds is just irreplaceable! So much that I plan on buying a new 2ds XL before Nintendo discontinue them. So that my 3ds library can be played still YEARS after my current 3ds battery dies. There are just so many reasons the switch just cant replace the 3ds. For me the journey with my 3ds continues on more than ever. Sure there will be less people on streetpass etc. But my enjoyment will always remain.
The impact that the 3ds had on the gaming industry and its fans will live on and always be treasured.

My current New 3ds xl battery died a couple months back😭 it’s ok though I’m going to attempt to replace it soon
I've had my 3DS since 2012, and I still play it to this day. Its in good condition except the home button doesn't work anymore.
@@Josh-md1bc yeah my 3ds is the new 3ds XL model. Its got alot of life to it still but Nintendo will someday discontinue the 2ds/3ds. So im definitely gonna buy a 2dsXL soon and keep it in storage till i need it. Ill do the system/data transfer from my old one to my new one then get rid of my old one.
@@Josh-md1bc
It's not difficult. Nintendo sells replacement batteries.

I was addicted by android online games for several years, then I bough N2DS just because I want to free from online games and take back my life 😅. Amazingly, its work!.
My little brother: 3DS is trash
Me: You are not a clown. You are the entire circus.
That we call a man of culture
Most of the games it have sucks, so, he is not very wrong.
Raylight thats cap
Raylight compared to console game and shi we have now, then kind of lmao but for most people who grew up wit a ds and it being a big part of their childhood it’s a lot more meaningful
999tales that is very true I have been playing Nintendo things like the wii and ds, started my gaming addiction when I was 3 and got the ds with a couple Mario games
Aight y’all gotta stop ignoring Tomodachi Life smh
YESSSSS, I still have the cartridge...
I still play it
Switch when
Amen
I still play it to this day and its sooooo fun
SMTIV and apocalypse deserve to be here
One of muy favorite games in the system
Was going to comment about the lack of smt. Strange Journey Redux and Soul Hackers should be here too
Came here to look at my final pick ups before the eShop closes.
Get them while you can!
Don’t buy these games lol, just pirate them
Mod ur console and get them all lol jk
hShop all the way
@@ValunarTonix just found out about the shop, love it
The 3D effect really adds that something special to video games! I always have the 3D slider turned up to the max! Except when one of my kids is hanging over my shoulder asking " can I watch what you're playing dad"?
That’s adorable. I know this reply is a year late but i truly wish the best for and your kids. You sound like a lovely father
All we have to do now is ask Reggie how long he has played animal crossoing:new leaf for
Yep but he got until march
He's still playing it to this day. Some say he had a 3DS implanted into his brain just to play animal crossing
ADailyDoseOfMemes did he leave Nintendo because he was in the town for too long
@@atomic-art Yes, he wouldn't spend even one minute away from his town.
when are you releasing an all new updated 3DS with better hardware?
My story with 3DS comes from a place of desperation yet love for Nintendo.
I'm from India, and Nintendo never gave a shit about my country. They don't sell their consoles here officially, and the E-Shop isn't even accessible.
When my family decided to go backpacking across Europe, I was overjoyed to know that I could get a 3DS from one of the stores! After doing my research (or so I thought), I got one along with a copy of Pokemon: Sun. It was not until I was back in India when I realized that the 3DS is region-locked. Worse, the 3DS games which are available through third-party sellers in India are for devices with US region-locks.
Anyhow, I didn't give. A year later, one of my relatives who stays in Europe agreed to send me two games (Super Mario Bros and Monster Hunter 4). I have absolutely enjoyed playing a total of three games on my 3DS and now, finally, I found out that the latest version of 3DS can be hacked!
I hope I successfully install Homebrew/CFW and get to play all the amazing games for this device.
Thanks for reading!
3DS is amazing
💯
A hacked 3ds ftw
And you never could play downloadable games either?
Another proof that privacy is a good thing.
i am an indian and i really hate nintendo for not bringing their products here.
If Kid Icarus Uprising isn't on this list, Nintendo Life has to take me out to a fancy dinner.
Maybe try Arlo instead, they don't seem to think you're their type. 17:00
Almost made it
LOL
He wouldn't have invited you, because I would have kidnapped him and tortured him until he updated the list with a formal apology.
I know that the 3D was problematic for a lot of people, but for me it honestly makes a huge difference. This feels like the best way to play games. Obviously the performance doesn’t compare to the modern consoles though. Thanks for some wonderful memories 3DS
Original 3D wasn't so great. The improved 3D in the new 3DS(XL). I have both and honestly it makes a noticeable difference.
@@First-Last_name I have a new version but I also had an original for a while. I personally thought they were both good but unquestionably super stable 3D is better
@@alexwingo8094 It's down to personal preference, but I had my 3d slider off for so long until I got a New 3dsXl and from then on the slider was up. The super stable and OLED screen took away my eye strain and constant difficulty finding the perfect angle.
Yes incredible to watch RUclips 3d videos all day with no eye strain from Glasses just rocked, can still be a few working!
Arlo has joined the chat
Oh hi Mark.
Nintendo Life m-m-Mark? YOU KNOW HIS REAL NAME
“Oh hi Johnny! I didn’t know it was you.”
Nintendo Life 😓 you guys are giving me an anxiety attack. WHO IS ARLO
LordJack225 Pig He’s a Nintendo RUclipsr that posted a top 3ds games list like half an hour before this video was put up. Looks like great minds think alike :)
Tomodatchi life is one of the most underrated games of all time
*it is pure GOLD*
Also its sequel Miitopia. God, how I love my handheld.
I think Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology deserves a spot on the list. It’s not massively popular, but its a really well done game.
That game is amazing. It's awesome. Hands down one of the best and criminally underrated. I used to play years ago but no idea where it went, but its so expensive to buy now. Might see if I can buy a digital version somewhere. That, Code of Princess and Bravely Default are all super expensive but I need them. Ever Oasis too. It's a superb mix of Animal Crossing and Zelda.
It was a great game when it came out for the DS. I wish they gave it 3D treatment at least.
agreed, def the best story game on the 3ds.
the thing was its so hard
The 3DS will always be my favourite console ever. The DS Lite was my first ever gaming system (yes im pretty young) and I loved playing super mario bros, nintendogs, animal crossing, mario kart ds and loads others. I have a new nintendo 3ds now and I still love it so much. I will never not own a 3DS
What about Mario and Luigi Dream Team? That game was so fun and so charming and introduced a lot of new features along with a pretty sizeable storyline that could keep you playing for hours.
The entire game was a tutorial
@@stevenreyes4791 But looking past all the dialogue and tutorials there was so much fun stuff to see and do and play. The tutorials really only lasted until Dozing Sands with a couple miniscule ones tossed in just to help beginner players. I had fun with the game
Sad to see that Fantasy Life did not make this list. Fantastic game with a lot of replayability and the various 'Lifes' you can partake in for combat, gathering, and crafting, all make for a very fun game with lots to do. The dialogue is extremely goofy like 'Your Royal Harrrrr-ness!' when speaking to Olivia is pure comedic gold, IMO.
agree! there's just... so much to do in fantasy life that you'll never get bored of it!
Just started that as an angler. Would it be a waste to put points in focus if I don’t plan to stick with fishing for more than a few levels?
@@AdamsBrew78 The game basically allows you to max it all, so you can play however you want.
Not to mention the DLC. I'm pretty sure you have to be level 50 to access it. I've been playing since launch, and I have yet to get to dlc content

Tomodachi Life and MiiTopia?
Yep. I agree with the list. I like Hyrule warriors legends. I think Hwl is great and quite fun.
This just shows how good the 3DS was.
@@edwardrobinson5470 I do too actually. I played it a bunch months ago and just started playing it again and forgot how well it performs for what it is. Its great fun and also has a decent story to boot.
Nice. My favorite characters in the game is Ruto,Wizzro,Toon link,Toon Zelda,Lana,Link,Ganondorf,Young link and Skull kid.
The only problem I have with lists like this is the lack of single-platform only games. Some are only on 3DS, but a good number are re-releases, remasters or remakes. Can we please have a list of best games only on 3DS instead?
to be fair, some remakes are drastically different and make sense to be included like Samus Returns and Fire Emblem Echoes.
No nigga
YES PLEASE!
This is a good comment... up you go, ma boi!
ORAS is the worse of the 3DS Pokemon games. The multiplats & 3rd party ips should only need one rep (too heavy on Capcom titles), also no SMT 4, Persona Q2, a 0 escape title, Project X Zone, or Mario Kart 7.
Wow all the comments are from 2 years ago now, am I the only one still play 3DS in 2022 😂
Would love a 25 best Nintendo DS games list please

The DS consoles have been amazing and although it's best days are behind us it still is a amazing and worthy purchase even today as the 2ds and 3ds have a amazing catalogue of games to chose from. If you have a DS, treasure it, if you dont you should seriously consider picking one up❤👊
My favourite part of the DS is GBA games.
Fantasy Life and Ever Oasis should 1000000% be on this list. Those are 2 of the top games that Nintendo EVER made, nevermind just top 3ds games
OMG FANTASY LIFE!🙏 I'm so disappointed that the devs didn't release a sequel for Nintendo. We need a remake for Switch ASAP!
Nintendo didn’t make either of them. One was Level-5, the other was Grezzo. Nintendo just published Fantasy Life in the west as part of their relationship with Level-5
Poever yes I know genuis. I wasnt tryna get all techinical. u got my fuckin point.
PrettyGreenMaiden I knoww! they never even came out with the mobile version that they were supposed to? at least not in the US.. such a good game.. n worth every penny.. could play that for hundredddds of hours easily
PrettyGreenMaiden I wouldn't even mind a complete port of the game, I would love to have it on the switch
Link between worlds surprised me on how good that is. That game should be in the top 50 nintendo games of all time not just the 3DS
It's one of the best games ever made, every aspect of it is astoundingly polished. Best Zelda.
I will never forget the fond memories I had with my 3DS. I got mine when I was 14, and the library of games I had played housed some fun times. So yeah, this gonna be a long one.
I had fun 100%-ing Super Mario 3D Land. It was my very first game for the system, and I loved the its clever uses of the 3D slider.
I loved racing my friends in Mario Kart 7. Just a shame te roster wasn't as big as the other MK games, but I still had fun, and MK7 Rainbow Road is still my favorite iteration of the track. Along with the remix.
I loved re-playing classic N64 remade games like Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, and Star Fox 64.
I remembered the time my friend and I both bought Pokemon X & Y at its launch date.
Fire Emblem Awakening was my first entry of the series, and I don't regret it either.
Kid Icarus Uprising was a game I kept re-playing non-stop. From the story, the cast, the music, and even the gameplay. Control issues aside, I still consider it to be one of my top favorite 3DS games.
A Link Between Worlds easily became one of my favorite titles in the Zelda series. From its creative dungeons, the fun combat, and being a major step up from Skyward Sword in terms of less hand-holding.
I remember the amount of hours I sank into Bravely Default, and housing one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard.
Kingdom Hearts 3D was what sparked my love into the KH series.
Kirby Triple Deluxe and Planet Robobot were some of the most fun, charming, and creative 2D platformers I ever played.
Pokemon Sun & Moon/Ultra Sun & Moon gave me a bittersweet end to the last time I could play these games on a handheld.
Fire Emblem Echoes, while had some flaws, I was engrossed with both its the story and its cast.
Mario & Luigi: Dream Team was slow at start, but the rest of the journey was silly and endearing. With a great soundtrack to boot.
Superstar Saga DX while slightly inferior to its original counterpart, I still enjoyed traveling across BeanBean Kingdom like the GBA days of old.
Shantae and the Pirate's Curse was easily the best game in the series, hands-down.
The Azure Striker Gunvolt games were fun, fast-paced, and a blast to replay multiple times.
The hours I had in Animal Crossing: New Leaf were super cutr and enjoyable. Hopefully New Horizons will deliver a similar experience.
Paper Mario: Sticker Star...yeah.
And lastly, Super Smash Bros 3DS. This was a game me and collage buddies were hyped about since then, and I enjoyed it more than the Wii U version in terms of better content and stages. One of the characters I wanted in the most was Shulk, and you could imagine how shook I was. And thanks to Ultimate, we got to see some of the 3DS stages in full HD glory. -Sadly, still no Rainbow Road-.
My 3DS is a system that maybe gone, but will never be forgotten.
Unless you’ve gone digital ...(long awkward pause)
Rhythm Heaven Megamix and WarioWare Gold are great too
Fo sho!! U know wassup my man
Factsss. Are they made by the same people? They look very, very similar.
That one other Professor Layton game after Mask of Miracles and the Phoenix Wright crossover is still something i wanna play
Azran Legacy is the best Layton game on 3DS
The ace attorney crossover is 10/10
Mario Kart 7, Starfox 64 3DS and Pokemon X and Y should form part of this list!
Why x and y were fucking garbage sun and moon and ultra sun and ultra moon are way better pokémon games
@@kosteh sun and moon better than x and y WTF ?! and ,according to the fan, USUL is one of the worst pokemon game .
@@blablabloblo2118 dude it took me like 20 hours to finish x y and i took it slowly i finished it in like 2 days ago i played sun and moon and finished it in 1 and a half week it took me about 60 hours to finish it but the game was so good and trying to complete the pokedex which i did and battling online and shiny hunting and other stuff I have over 550 hours on pokémon sun the game is that good
the time needed to finish a game is not equal to its quality
@@blablabloblo2118 it means the game has more things to do and it has more content
I really miss Fantasy Life. It´s so amazing, you can do everything you want to do in this game. And the story is not bad,too.
Great game
THAT GAME IS AMAZING. i wish it was more popular...
I'm here cuz eShop's gonna close on March 2023. :(
The ace attorney games on the 3ds are 10/10. I recommend trying each of them
I have them also on DS. And on 3ds. Great stuff.
Man the 3ds was such a freaking good time. So many incredible titles.
Rune Factory 4 is definitely up there for me. I'm surprised how many people are mentioning fantasy life though, that game kind of came and went without me noticing.
I love that game
It may be new, but Persona Q2 is one of my favourite on my shelf.
Q2 is truly fantastic. The gameplay, graphics and characters are great. I loved the new characters and setting as well as the return of my favourite characters from persona of course.
JolttronTitan Persona Q2 is the best f*🤭*k the rest. ✌️☺️
I find their lack of Atlus games to be quite disturbing.
Persona Q2, Strange Journey Redux, SMT 4, the Devil Survivor remakes and Radiant Historia are some of the best RPGs in the 3ds. Dont @ me.
(Also im not including PQ1 because good lord those maps give me brain cancer)
shin megami tensei iv is awesome, too. i can't believe not one game from atlus is on this list.
When I'm toilet gaming on the 3DS , my go-to game is Phoenix, which allows me to really evacuate my bowels by screaming out "OBJECTION!!!" right along with the game.
What the heck
Zion: “The Nintendo 3DS is-“
Me: “Who are you and why did you not address us as lovely peeeeeeople?!?”
Yeah F this impostor
Corey Stokely It’s still a joke though
*Fantasy Life is the best game (best graphics, storyline, open-world, everything) to have ever come out on this platform.* Probably one of my top three videogames ever, and my first is the Witcher III. The fact that it's not only not the first but not even on this list proves quality isn't the only factor in popularity...
You won me over with Ace Attorney and Fire Emblem
Strong list but no Shin Megami Tensei game? Seriously? The ones on the video are very good. But games like Shin Megami Tensei IV or Strange Journey Redux are even better than most of those.
You also forgot Etrian Odyssey, Tales of the Abyss, Virtues Last Reward, Devil Survivor, Dragon Quest... What's wrong ppl? I'd swear you haven't played them. I know it's a matter of tastes but SMT are HUGE games that deserve to be mentioned.
smt is pretty niche, it doesn't really have a big fanbase. besides its subseries, persona, has a bigger fanbase than smt
I'm wounded by Rune Factory 4's exclusion. The relaxing yet rewarding gameplay of Harvest Moon pairs with a satisfying, fast paced, open-ended dungeon crawler with more depth than even many console games, all at your own pace! Of all the 3DS games I played it felt like the most complete package.
Or maybe I'm just a hopeless weeb 😅
You have a way with words
in rune factory you can literaly attack the save point and earn exp. lol
Just bought a 3ds and I'm building my collection, started with Smash and Mario 3D Land but I need more!
Try out the Professor Layton games. I recommend starting with Professor Layton Azran Legacy if you prefer stories, Professor Layton Miracle mask if you prefer puzzles. Also, try out Professor Clayton vs Ace Attorney since it's my favorite 3ds game.
Just try out Professor Layton Azran Legacy first since the puzzles are more challenging and rewarding, it also has a better story than Miracle mask.
Finally, a list with Kid Icarus on it. And of course it a fan voted one, critics and tubers always tend to forget about it!
Side note btw: It must’ve been a while since I’ve last watched a NL video, cause back then every video was just Alex on the camera/mic.
Titles I would have put on the list:
Mario Kart 7, Mario and Luigi: Dream Team, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, Zelda: Tri Force Heroes, Kirby Triple Deluxe, Star Fox 64 3D, Pokemon Sun/Moon, Metal Gear Solid 3D: Snake Eater
@Bryson Shepherd Oh, by a longshot. I would put Tri Force Heroes on the list IN ADDITION to the other three Zelda games on the 3DS. I'm thinking what I would add to my theoretical list of 25 games. The other 17 games would pretty much be in this video already, so I didn't mention them. Was just giving a shoutout to the other 3DS titles I like.
Castelvania deserve a place in this top, the game is so beautiful
Gamestop restocked a 2DS yesterday morning and I instantly bought one, I missed out on this era as a child I went from GB,GBA,DS to Xbox and Xbox 360 so I missed out on some of the best nintendo games ever made. Plus still have yet to play pokemon X and Y (just never wanted to play it on emulators even tho ive played all the others) and am excited to finally try it out
You’re missing out on another one. The ps vita
GBA was really great tho
The 3DS is officially done for. It was fun while it lasted. The only reason why I bought it when it first came out was to play Ocarina of Time. And then I gradually started to get more games.
@Dark Shadow Storm by that logic the Wii u is still not dead since some and I do mean some games are still coming out for it including the Wii with the just dance games so your logic is flawed face it the 3ds is dead i loved the thing it's what got me to gaming in the first place but it's time to move forward with the switch and now switch lite .
@Dark Shadow Storm I thought they did ?
@@autisticgaming2004 not quite, a 3ds game still came out this month (was in the Nintendos official trailer and the very first game on it) so not 100% dead, but slowing down definitely. Capcom still have working servers on it for MHG so it's even worth it if your a fan of that too.
@@meikahidenori again just dance 2020 coming to the Wii ? Its dead I loved the thing to death but it's time to move on very few games are coming to the 3ds to consider it a fully alive system and the switch is meant as a hybrid of both handhelds and home consoles into one system yes it's dead by my and many others book .
@@autisticgaming2004 nope, persona Q2 ruclips.net/video/lDqNT3EMxw8/видео.html was on the list for the 3ds so not officially dead.
Always glad to see anyone mention Professor Layton
I never cared for Ocarina of Time or Majora's mask when they were on the N64. Then they came to 3ds and they became my favorite games on the system. They were so much better for me personally that I still play them to this day. I went back to them on N64 and I still don't like them there, but on 3ds they are great.
Went looking for best of lists for GameCube and 3DS and tour lists for both were the absolute best. You join SwitchUp and Switch Corner for my Nintendo channel subs. Man, why is every Nintendo channel out of the UK? Well, whatever, keep up the awesome work!
Gaur plains music playing when talking about FE Awakening threw me off lol
Just got a new 2ds xl again after selling mine over 2 years ago. I cant wait to jump into these games again and pick up some that I never have tried before.
I'm surprised all of the Fire Emblem were on the list, but only one Pokémon game. (Not complaining, FE deserves it)
And like 4 Zelda games. Why no love for Pokemon?
There's no way Pokemon X/Y doesn't deserve a spot on that list. Then again, it is subjective.
Fates is bad
@@brendankiyak3902 Conquest was good
Except fire emblem fates it's one of the worst in the series
Just got a 3DS XL and Super Smash Bros 3DS is the best. Feels good playing it in your hands. Ppl still play online and the Custom mode is a cool addition, lets me speed up the gameplay. Don't need Ultimate lol
Lol
I’m adding Virtue’s Last Reward to this list and it is the definitive edition for sure ❤️
Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater for the 3DS is absolutely amazing
Chance Studios It’s good to see someone here who enjoys mgs3
The Phoenix Wright and Professor Layton crossover game is amazing. There are SO MANY amazing DS and 3DS games. I have a Switch but I still play my 3ds xl constantly.
I'm interested in both franchises, but I haven't played either of them. would you recommend the game for a newcomer?
@@LuisMartinez-jk3yo I absolutely would. Professor Layton was my first DS game. You don't need to start with the first game of the franchise either. All of them are easy to pick up and begin. Professor Layton is just brain teasers with a storyline between them but it's a great game. The Phoenix Wright games are great as well, and the DS ones are easier to come by. The crossover game if you're looking to buy the cartridge can be very expensive but you can buy the digital versions. I personally suggest at least 1 game from each franchise before playing the crossover, just to get the best experience. I hope you love them as much as I do. I know that they're something I still replay now and would be excited if I could play again the first time. Phoenix Wright tends to have more wit and excitement. I always played Professor Layton at the end of the day. I hope this helps and I really hope you get to try them and love them. 💙
@@SwedePotato314 wow. That sounds really good. I’ll check them out 😁
@@SwedePotato314 HELLO! Me again. Quick question. All the Phoenix Wright games for the 3DS are on sale on the eShop right now. Which one would you recommend?? Thanks
@@LuisMartinez-jk3yo I recommend The Trilogy of Phoenix Wright
i still play my n3dsxl every day.. its hacked though, my all time favorite handheld. I got a switch but i play my 3ds a ton more.. I loved the OOT 3ds port.. that was just a masterpiece.
Yo-kai Watch is an underrated series which is one of my all time favourite 3DS games. Do yourself a favour and play it. 😭❤️
I gave a little cheer when Kid Icarus arrived. For one fleeting moment I felt like democracy hadn't failed us once again.
I think I'd have found space for Pokemon Sun/Moon, Dragon Quest 8, Rhythm Paradise Megamix and as many SEGA 3D classics as I could fit in the remaining space.
The 3DS had some great games
The omission of Virtue’s Last Reward is absolutely criminal! Much better “mature” title than Resident Evil Revelations. A should out to Captain Toad as well
Yeees, literally one of the best on this console
Fantasy Life wasn't included and I'm dissapointed.
Agreed. No Top 3DS games list should be without it that game was a blast!
Laura B *disappointed
@@albond ouhhhh a grammar nazi.....

@@Terranigma23 That's spelling, not grammar 🤦♂️
Thank you for including Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask, and Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright. As it was the most successful third party DS game, I think it's great that it continued on in 3D.
"Unless you've gone digital!"
Gee how'd you know?
Only started collecting this year but I already have almost all of these games so i'm happy.
Got a DSi last year and that got me back into handheld gaming and now the 3DS is such an amazing step up. Glad I came in at the end with all these amazing new games to pick up and play while I increase my switch collection for my non-existent switch!!
It's sad that all of the memories of the Nintendo 3DS has to go :(
Monster Hunter XX, Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon and Kingdom Hearts 3D each deserve a spot in this list.
Pokemon sun and moon, Pokemon X and Y, Mario Kart 7, Tomodachi life, and New Super Mario Bros 2. are all missing
I thought X and Y were on there?
With Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire?
I sort of wish that multiple games from one franchise, and of the same gameplay style, were compressed into one slot, in order to allow for additional variety and show newcomers more options.
I'm glad Ace Attorney and Professor Layton got their time to shine! But what about all the love and support ATLUS gave the 3DS? SMT: Apocalypse and SMT: Soul Hackers are some of my favorite 3DS games. Please check them out!
That Was A Fascinating INTRODUCTION into the Nintendo 3DS ..... some of them look Absolutely Brilliant
Can you imagine my disappoinment when I didn't hear Alex's "Hello there lovely, people!" No offense meant to Zion. I just really adore Alex!
My favorite 3DS games at the moment are Animal Crossing New Leaf, Fire Emblem Fates Birthright, Fire Emblem Awakening, and Tomodachi Life which didn't make this list but can actually be quite fun for a game that's geared towards younger audiences. Thanks for the list, I'm trying to find new games to play. I still have a copy of Zelda: The Majora's Mask, which I found this afternoon, and I'm thinking of playing that again. From this list I'm thinking I also want to try that Pirate's Curse game, looks cool.

Perhaps someone or no one has mentioned these, but I liked a vast majority of the Street Pass games from Find Mii/Puzzle Swap - Battleground Z/Ultimate Angler as I found them to be fun and addicting, especially Monster Manor, Ultimate Angler, both Find Mii games & Puzzle Swap. Warrior's Way was the weakest of the bunch. However, these games did rely on getting Street Passes which I know was difficult to come by in some places.
No way you said warrior’s way was the weakest. You would definitely be a peasant in a medical world😂
I can’t believe how good resident evil revelations looks on the 3DS!!!
I am definitely going to pick that game up!
0:55 A Nintendo Switch sound in a 3DS list, with Xenoblade music and Fire Emblem video. This moment had me really confused
I know right!
No Mario Kart 7?! I know it’s one of the more often forgotten Mario Karts but it’s still great and I still play online to this day!
Just traded my never used PS vita for a new 2ds and I wish id done it years ago
Yeesh. Was the ps vita really that bad?
This is it gentlemen! The doom clock commences!
I'm always looking for something new on my 3ds, but I feel like you should have curated the games that are also available on the switch either outside the list, or commented the port exists.
I'm really starting to love Zion's contributions here.
Wait, Pokémon X and Y wasn't on here?
Ok then...
As all thinks should be
Turtle Anton x and y > oras
@Dark Diamond 16
I could beat X and Y blindfolded with my feet in my sleep
Neither were sun and moon :/
All 3DS Pokémon outings were terrible compared to the previous games in the series.
One goood thing that came out of X/Y/OR/AS were good soundtracks, that's it.
Sun/Moon and their "special" editions were super uninteresting, never went back after the first playthrough.
I just modded my new 3ds and I’m excited to check out what the 3ds library has to offer
Whole up, DID YOU JUST SAY THE FATES HAS GOOD WRITING AND A GOOD STORY?! THE HECK! It's story/writing is trash, but the gameplay is dope. If you want a good story, go play Shadows of Valebtia.
Agree.
Yo Kai watch should 100 percent be up there it is one of the most underrated games ever I loved it it is one of my childhood games
Surprised Pokémon Ultra Sun And Moon didn’t make the list

The first that really caught my interest was Super Mario 3D Land: why? Because it was done so colorfull and wonderfull and it got me excited and curious how to wander around in that game. The second game was actually Zelda a link between worlds. These 2 are the only gems that actually moved me until this day. Oh and also Animal Crossing: so relaxing and really good spend some good times on it. After those, in the eshop I bought Zelda Seasons and Zelda Ages on the GB virtual console and also Metrioid II. These games do stand the test of time and they do deserve to be played even once more (I own these on GB, but I went through these games a 3rd time now) And I STILL enjoy to play it through again. Zelda's and Mario games are the ones to get guys if you want to have worth your money on any Nintendo. :) Highly recommended.
I find your lack of Star Fox 64 3D disturbing.
WHAT?! I was just looking for the old one of this video!!! THANK YOU!
Sorry, if I'm late but isn't Xenoblade Chronicles for New 3ds? Are there really any available titles on the regular 3ds?
