| Hey guys, so I got a 3DS a while ago now but the only reason I got it was for Pokemon but I'm looking to branch out a bit and try other games. Anything good will do, I'm not after a specific type just maybe your favourite or best games. I don't really know where to start as I have close to 0 knowledge about the various games for 3DS so recommendations would really help. Thanks! ^u^ |

| Definitely try out bravely default! it's an rpg game and from square enix. bravely default 2 came out recently and i havent tried it yet but I loved the first one. If you like final fantasy you'll probably enjoy it. I also like rune factory since I like simulation games :P |
| The Kid Icarus game is pretty awesome if you're okay with its gameplay. Also has plenty of hilarious dialogue between the characters. |

| Right now I can't really recommend anything fresh because the 3DS seems to produce a wave of good games every so often and then have periods where there's absolutely nothing good to play. Previous classics: Bravely Default, Rune Factory 4, Etrian Odyssey 4, Etrian Odyssey 1: Untold, Etrian Odyssey 2: Untold, Monster Hunter 4, Final Fantasy Theatrhythm: Curtain Call-- if you like Final Fantasy or easy music games I heard Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon was good but I haven't gotten around to playing it yet. (you wanted to avoid pokemon tho) There is also the eShop where you can download Virtual Console games, and third party games. Shantae, Gunvolt, and Liberation Maiden were pretty good. Don't forget about backwards compatibility. The 3DS can play DS games, even if you can't download them. If you can manage to order them online, a few recommendations would be: Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 2 Dragon Quest 9 Children of Mana ... the entire collection of Pokemon games on the DS: Pearl/Diamond/Platinum HeartGold/SoulSilver Black/White Black2/White2 Radiant Historia The World Ends With You Professor Layton games Dragon Quest 4, 5, 6 |
 |
| Fire Emblem: Awakening and the more recent, Fire Emblem: Fates They're revolutionary :) The 3DS has lots of nice games that'll keep you occupied for months :3 Check out Super Mario 3D Land too :3 it's a great game And of course, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D |
 |
| Best games on 3DS: Senran Kagura Full Burst Senran Kagura Deep Crimson |
| Sieg Zeon! |
| The Fire Emblem games, Mario Kart 7 and Persona Q are all tons of fun with many hours of potential gameplay. Kirby Triple Deluxe is also very cute, but it's a little easy. Rayman Origins is one of the best platformers you can get on a handheld so I highly recommend checking that out too, it's pretty cheap nowadays. |
| If you can get your hands on it, play Zero Escape: 9 Hours 9 Persons 9 Doors (aka "999"). If you've never read/played a Visual Novel before, 999 is a great game to start you off. It's originally for the DS, but you can play it on a 3DS. And when you're done with 999, continue on to Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward. |
 |
| For the 3DS, I recommend: Bravely Default (JRPG) Fire Emblem Awakening Hyrule Warriors Legends Kid Icarus: Uprising Super Smash Bros. for 3DS The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds For the DS games, which all work on 3DS: 999: 9 Hours 9 Persons 9 Doors (visual novel, but an actually fun one) Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies Mega Man Battle Network 5: Double Team Mega Man Star Force (or 2 or 3, they're great if you want more of it, but mostly more of the same) You've probably already heard the Pokemon suggestions or have some, so I left them out. Dragon Quest is one of the best JRPG series of all time, and the ones for the DS are the best in the series. I wholeheartedly recommend them. MMBN5: Double Team is also amazing, and is effectively two games in one. All 3DS games I listed are really well designed and have a great aesthetic look to each of them, so be sure to give them a look to see if they might be your taste. The earlier suggestions of Radiant Historia and the Professor Layton games are pretty good (also might want to give the Ace Attorney games a look if you like courtroom/detective stories and/or visual novels). I don't recommend Final Fantasy Tactics A2 though. While the original was amazing, the sequel is mediocre at best. |

| FFTA2 plot, setting and atmosphere are terrible, which were some of the best things about the original FFT. Gameplay is alright but there's nothing crazy about it. So yeah, I would never recommend it over FFT or Tactics Ogre. |
| Rune Factory 4. And maybe Pokemon.... |
 |
| Don't bother with the censored Bravely Second, Fire Emblem Fates or Bravely Default. I'd recommend you hack your system and get the uncensored versions online for free. Yar har. Also, Eltrian Odyssey's are all good. |
Play League of Legends here! Autocrat said: Hitler was good, objectively. |

 |
| The best 3DS game is A Link Between Worlds. It's one of the best games Nintendo's ever made. Check it out even if you haven't played A Link to the Past. Fire Emblem Conquests is the best rpg for 3DS, but if you prefer more traditional jrpgs, then Bravely Default ain't bad. It gets groggy toward the middle, but it has a super strong start and end + amazing art direction and a stellar score. |
 |
| Bravely Default: Flying Fairy Bravely Second: End Layer Tobidase Dōbutsu no Mori (shut up, I'll call it what I want) Stella Glow I would say Fire Emblem if, but it has one of the shittiest localizations ever. Fire Emblem: Kakusei's localization is slightly less shitty. |
My waifu, do not steal.  |
| Bravely Second's localization is far worse than Fire Emblem Fates'. |
|
| Super Smash Brothers Bravely Default Bravely Second Mario Kart 7 The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. Kid Icarus Uprising. I heard the Fire Emblem games were pretty goo but I don't know which ones are the best. |
| I also bought a 3DS solely for Alpha Sapphire. Turns out, there's plenty of other games worth playing: Animal Crossing: New Leaf Super Smash Bros. 3DS Fire Emblem (Awakening or Fates) The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds Xenoblade Chronicles 3DS (if you have the NEW 3DS and have a lot of free time) |
 |
| Try monster hunter 4 ultimate if you're looking for a hack and slash game. Really fun, and it'll keep you going for hours. If you can handle it's learning curve. |
| Fire Emblem: Awakening is a master piece game. Still the best 3ds game yet. But Fates is stiil not out in Europe so i can't be for sure. |
 .. |
| Shin Megami Tensei IV Devil Survivor 2 Record Breaker Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon Persona Q Mario Kart 7....maybe |
| Animal Crossing New Leaf!!! :D It's a really fun and cute game. |

It's dangerous to go alone, take this. |

It's really entertaining if you like Final Fantasy or have nostalgia for the music. It's a very basic rhythm game otherwise, although it has some nice RPG elements. Now, while it might be easy most of the time, some songs are just brutal. I still can't beat Force Your Way on hardest difficulty, athough I'm playing with stylus. The song just kills me. |

| I have been playing the 3DS for about 2 years now and so far, I have come to love... -Animal Crossing New Leaf (a game that is a very big time consumer and is fun when you get past all of the pay you have to do with your house. It is also fun to just see what animals you get as villagers.) -Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate (A game that usually requires friends but not always since it has a multiplayer mode online to help find you a match, but is also a time consumer. You are constantly grinding for new items but they hold events that can get you many nintendo-like items such as Link armor and weapons from Zelda.) -Smash (If you enjoyed any of the Smash games growing up, you are going to love this one. Even though it is more recommended on the WiiU, it is a lot more competitive on the DS. There may be a lot of lag and now DLC that costs money, it gives you something really fun to do if you are bored.) Story of Seasons (A game most similar to the old Harvest Moon games, or more recently I could compare it to stardew valley without fighting. I enjoyed this game due to it being very similar to harvest moon and the fact its very open and you can do many many things on it, such as, have a child with a male or female and have that child be raised into your farming career. It may be a grind to get that male or female but it is very worth it in the end. This game also has an amazing story line.) These are the main ones I have played and have enjoyed, so I hope this helped you out too! |

| Try the newly released Fire Emblem Fates or it's predecessor, Fire Emblem Awakening. Whichever you choose, they are one of the best jrpg's out there. |

It's definitely in the top 10. And to OP: I don't recommend Smash or Xenoblade. They're good games, just not on the 3DS. You're going to break your 3DS playing Smash on it and trying to play a game as expansive as Xenoblade on a small 240p display is going to be more frustrating than enjoyable. I tried playing Xenoblade on my Wii U's larger, 480p display just for heck of it, and I couldn't. Xenoblade Chronicles demands a large screen. |

better games: a link to the past ocarina of time majoras mask windwaker twilight princess skyward sword four swords adventures links awakening oracle of seasons oracle of ages minish cap worse games: links crossbow training phantom hourglass spirit tracks triforce heroes four swords zelda zelda ii hyrule warriors cdi zeldas |

| Zelda 2 is good though. And so is Hyrule Warriors. |

Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess are okay. Majora's Mask is good. Oracle of Seasons, Ages, Link's Awakening, A Link to the Past, and Windwaker are amazing. I place A Link Between Worlds on par with these Zelda titles. Never played Four Sword Adventures and Minish Cap. |
|
It's better than all the 3D games by far. |
Anime is good, fucking deal with it. |

rawr97 said: Gabagool said: Kingdom Hearts DDD One Piece Unlimited Cruise sp (Europe only, or cfw), zelda games, and super smash are the only ones so I played so far and love them all There's also Unlimited World Red as an alternative. I would add Youkai Watch and the Inazuma Eleven games to the list as well. Only one is available on the US but the rest are available in Europe and Japan. Youkai Watch is basically Pokemon with ghost while Inazuma Eleven is an Anime Football RPG. Both are by the same developer. You should also give Corpse Party a try once it hits the shelves on 3DS. It's available on PC right now though. |
