Do you like the system? What are your fave games on it?
I loved pokemon sun and monster hunter stories
BTW, anyone happen to know any fps games for the system?
Fond memories of the Street Pass games and RPG maker FES.
Street pass was nice
I kind of miss Street Pass. I always loved it for when I was going through airports- you could get Street Passes from lots of different places!
I only ever got about 100 passes basically all while on holiday.
I only ever got them off friends or when traveling into London. Then one day I discovered that you could set up a Streetpass ‘relay’ just by setting your home WiFi’s SSID to some secret string and then you’d be able to meet other people using the same SSID wherever they were in the world. It stopped working eventually, but me and about 6 other people somewhere in the world made good use of it!
Oh yes. I have the gold Zelda limited edition 3DS XL in my collection.
My favorite games for the 3DS were Resident Evil Mercenaries, Fire Emblem Awakening, and Ultimate NES Remix.
I really enjoyed Kid Icarus: Uprising on the 3DS, but I never hear anyone talk about it. It’s not an fps, though.
As a hardcore player of Metroid Prime Hunters (online) in the Nintendo DS I always was confused about what the issue with the controllers for Kid Icarus, or other shooter like games was lol.
That’s oki
Hmm
I should get into kid Icarus lol
This was by far my favorite 3DS game. It was just perfect.
I’ve hear a lot of people talk about it, but usually in “best 3ds games” articles. Maybe it’s a bit of a hidden gem, since it wasn’t a big franchise?
My most favourite game is Pilotwings Resort :)
I hadn’t played it until pretty recently, but I didn’t realize part of it is just the Wii Sports Resort free fly mode! I loved that!!
Loved my 3ds. It helped me get back into gaming regularly. I had weird guilt when I tried to sit down at a console or pc to play, thinking I should use my time more wisely, but was able to spend hours on Animal Crossing and then other games.
I got introduced to the Fire Emblem series through it and loved them. Although I never finished Shadows of Valencia. One day, I’ll get back to it.
I also learned that Resident Evil, while awesome, is not for me to play lol.
Bought a New 2DS XL for my oldest son when he turned 9. Bought a second one for myself not long after. They were cheap secondhand, so it was a quick decision. I love the games and I used to play on my commute. Now it is mostly played on by my youngest. We’ve got a shit load of games, most also bought secondhand. And they still play on them anytime we go for a long drive! It is definitely the best system I’ve owned. Massive bang for buck.
I bought a Japanese “new 3ds” system about 2 years ago off of eBay and I’ve been using it a lot! I’ve been loving the Ace Attorney Trilogy lately, but I also played
- SM64 via a homebrew 3ds port
- NSMB2
- SM 3D Land
- Shantae 1 & 2 (gbc and dsiware, but I wanna play the 3rd, which is a native 3ds game)
- Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition (dsiware, originally gba)
- Pilotwings Resort
- CTGP-7 (great mk7 modpack)
- So, so much Picross
My favorite 3ds game is Pushmo! I played it when I was younger, but it’s still fantastic.
I also loved the 3ds ecosystem outside of strictly games. Mii maker, Streetpass and Nintendo Video were all really fun extras.
Also the VB emulator Red Viper just recently released, so if there’s ever a time to try virtual boy games, it’s now! 3D baybeeee!!
Nice. Wario Land for the Virtual Boy was a fantastic game. It’s a shame so few people have played it.
I have a 3DS but it’s broken in various ways. Besides I always found the 3DS too top heavy. On the other hand my trusty 2DS is still fine. Nevertheless I’m getting old and my eyes aren’t what they used to be. These screens are so tiny… What are these, TVs for ants?!
Some of my favourites:
-
The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. Old school Zelda and direct sequel to A Link to the Past.
-
Fire Emblem Awakening and Fire Emblem Fates. I’ve also got Shadows of Valentia sitting on my SD card, but really don’t have the energy for tactical RPGs anymore.
-
Pokémon Alpha Sapphire was fun. Also enjoyed Pokémon Sun, even if just for Alolan Raichu. Love that surf rat.
-
Super Mario 3D Land, but I don’t know how well it holds up, considering how much 3D World improved upon the formula. Should still be a fun play.
Also, Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure 3D, which was released on other systems waaaay before the 3DS port. I never managed to play any of its original releases, but I think I might have gotten it for free or something on 3DS because I don’t remember buying it, but do remember enjoying it when I played it.
Playing pokemon moon.
Have a link between worlds on of hardware but I’ll beat a link to to past before emulating between words
-
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate and Animal Crossing New Leaf were my go-to games on the console. Super fun and still play from time to time.
Etrian Odyssey
I think it is a pretty great handheld, but I am more of a DS guy, I keep playing several of its games thanks to Wimmfi, even when the 3DS has retro compatibility I think using a proper DS is way better.
With that said, the 3DS has its own fair share of good games, and it is your console if you like RPGs, I just would want it to have more visual novels.
Unless you consider Ace Combat an FPS, the 3DS doesn’t really have any of them that I know of. You’d be better off playing the old DS ones. If you count Homebrew, your options expand a lot. Doom and Quake play wonderfully on the New3DS with the C nub.
As far as my favorite games on it: wow, there are so many. Shin Megami Tensei IV (and Apocalypse), Fire Emblem Birthright, Animal Crossing New Leaf, Pokémon, Monster Hunter 4U. The list goes on.
I mentioned fps cosni remember this fps demo on the e shop
It had like a heart rate mechanic
Looking at some screenshots, that may have been Dementium Remastered as mentioned above by SturgiesYrFase. I’m not sure if it got a demo, and I hadn’t heard of it until about an hour ago, but it’s a guess.
Actually it might have been a third person shooter. I’ll look into that game tho.
Mainly looking for shooters
