what are some games you like on the 3DS?

[eggsausagerice]

i like kid icarus, cooking mama, etrian oddysey, and shin megami tensei. i was trying to think of games that i would want to play. i'm not really that interested in pokemon since i think it's kind of boring, but i know a lot of people like/liked playing the games. i recently modded my 2DS so i could play whatever, even though i might just leave it lying around again. i also downloaded spirit camera: the cursed memoir because i watched a playthrough of fatal frame 1.

i used to know someone that was really into the silent hill series, but we stopped talking. since i'm dying soon yet still have a lot of free time, i've been thinking about all the other things i've could've talked about with people or how i could've just had longer conversations. i still have people that talk to me now, but i've been trying to sabotage my relationships with most of the people i know for a while now. because i thought that i wasn't someone worth liking, i guess. i would've liked to talk about silent hill with him a little more, but i don't think he wants me to talk to him again. he stopped responding to my texts a while ago.

i dislike that i'm playing on a 2DS because it looks less cool than a 3DS. it's also bright yellow. me and my sister found it for really cheap in the store, but we honestly never played on it.

all the SMT games on 3ds are good. etrian was always too hard for me

i pretty much only used mine for RPGs. fire emblem, bravely default, fantasy life, i could recommend more but its already annoying. played a lot of animal crossing too

etrian was always too hard for me

i don't think i've ever finished an etrian game because i end up not being able to beat a boss or kept dying, lol. i really liked the cartography and dungeon crawler aspect. i remember wanting to replay the etrian odyssey 3 demo from the eshop because i never felt like asking my parents to buy it for me.

i feel like rpg games are the best thing about the 3DS besides mario and pokemon. my sister was super into animal crossing new leaf but got bored of playing new horizons during covid. i don't think i'll find myself ever wanting to play pokemon games even though i have legends arceus and pokemon violet cartridges.

I liked Mario and Luigi: Dream Team and Animal Crossing: New Leaf~ I don't even think I have any other 3DS games~ xD I preferred the DS and GBA more! :)
in regards to New Leaf tho, I can see why your sister liked it so much! :) unfortunately, the villagers get mad if you're gone for a week, so they're going to be super mad at me if I come back~ >_<

i really liked the cartography and dungeon crawler aspect.

i felt the same. fans recommend playing with a guide sometimes to minimize difficulty spikes and enjoy the rest. seems lame to me. maybe you'd like the Mario & Luigi rpgs, there's a ton of them

new leaf is so much better than new horizons, it's sad.

Why do you hate my pocket monsters? :(

Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire is so pretty and cosy. Pretty much the last time I loved the entire aesthetic of a pokemon game.

 

[Spite]

I haven't played a 3DS in over half a decade, but from memory my favourite games I remember playing on it were Super Mario 3D Land, Tomodachi Life, Pushmo,
Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask, Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy, Star Fox 64 3D, Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, Kirby: Triple Deluxe, and there might have been a few others.

Why do you hate my pocket monsters? :(

the game gets very repetitive after a few hours of playing...

I really love Bravely Default on the 3DS. It's essentially a spiritual successor to the Final Fantasy series, with great turn based combat and so many job roles. Square-Enix recently remastered this game for the Switch 2 as well. There's also a sequel on the 3DS called Bravely Second and another sequel on the Switch and Steam called Bravely Default II.

Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns is a really fun farming sim. If you're into dress up games at all I also recommend the Style Savvy series, it's super fun and involves actually running your own store and stocking up on inventory in addition to helping customers choose clothes. And you can't go wrong with Tomodachi Life or Ace Attorney.

 

[............]

Tomodachi Life and any Pokemon game available for the 2DS/3DS before Sun and Moon came out (personally was not a great fan of that installment of the franchise, I can't really put my finger on why that was anymore).

Pretty basic but I can't help it!!!!

The 3DS Monster Hunter games are fantastic. I just started playing the english translation of GU (aka XX on switch) and it's such a great sendoff to the classic era of MH. Though if you're looking to start with the series 3U is a great entry point.

Of course I can't not mention Pokemon Omega Ruby / Alpha sapphire, and XY too. I love those games so much. I didn't care for Sun/Moon either though, I agree that something felt off there.

A bit of a nice pick but I love this game. Took me ages to complete playing every once in a while, took me over 80 hours to finish all the puzzles.

Though I won't lie, a lot of my gaming on the 3DS was just DS games. That's an excellent library of its own.

Mario 64

Tomodachi Life was my fav but I loved so many games on the 3ds, I wish I still had mine somewhere as it was like the most nostalgic console to me when I exclude my videogame biases (cough Kingdom Hearts)

i've mostly been playing smt strange journey. i'll probably never have time to finish any of these games lol. but it's nice to have a distraction. i'm leaving my games up so that other people can see if they find games they would want to play too. i like how personalized a 3ds can be just by customizing it and downloading the games you want to play. it's good for when you're bored somewhere and don't just want to use your phone. plus most 3dses can fit in your bag.
