You did the right thing. Now, the healing can begin.

*Hugs amp*

Oh, and don't listen to anybody in this thread. Don't buy anything, for now. Just savor that sweet, sweet flavor of awesome 3DS games. You'll know what to buy when the time is right.

You can probably skip Pilotwings. It was fine as a launch game, but it's lacking compared to the other installments in the series.

It also sounds like you could benefit from buying a Circle Pad Pro. It makes the system a bit larger, which should help with its comfort level. Portability might be affected, though.

As for games you would enjoy now, I recommend browsing the eShop. Most games have trailers and descriptions, and they tend to be pretty cheap.

If you're into pinball games, Zen Pinball has two fantastic tables (and two mediocre ones, but the good two are worth the price of admission alone).

Mutants Mudds was a surprisingly fun old-school 2D action-platformer. I sunk about six hours into it, and enjoyed most of them.

You'll have access to almost the entire DSiWare stuff too. 98% of it is dreck, of course, but it's got stuff like Cave Story, Dr. Mario, Tetris, and Rayman. I'm also planning on buying Dark Void Zero, Space Ace, and Zenonia. I'll let you know if they're worth it.

Virtual Console has some goodies in it too. The first two Mario games are there, and the third is probably coming soon. Gargoyle's Quest is a good pick up as well. Steer clear of Blaster Master though: it's nowhere near as good as the original.

Finally, make sure to give me your friend code.

You should generally steer clear of the 3D classics, though: the selections they've made so far aren't particularly stellar.

Since you already own MK7 and Revelations, i can recommend to you Super Mario 3D Land, Ocarina of Time 3D and Kid Icarus: Uprising. Those five titles are my personal must-have list on the 3DS right know.

Then you might want to check some tier 2 games: Dead or Alive: Dimensions (really great fighter, almost as good as SSFIV and it feels like a complementary experience to the capcom game), Starfox 64 3D, Tales of the Abyss and Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D (bear in mind that those three are ports)

there are some nice things on the eShop too. Pullblox (Pushmo in the USA) is a must buy puzzle game, and Mighty Switch Force is a great game, even if a tad short. Most 3D classic games aren't worth the money, but you should at least check out Kirby and Kid Icarus.

Last but not least there are lots of classic gameboy games to try. you should at least get all the Mario Land games, Zelda: Link's Awakening, and Donkey Kong (this one is really great!)

You must get Uprising. In fact, don't. You'll be playing Uprising so much that you won't have time for your other games. Haha

If you haven't done so, buy Rayman Origins when it comes out for 3DS

Samurai warriors chronicles is a very long and high quality experience, very far from a "crap". Thanks to guys suggesting me the absoluter surprise of Nintendo 3DS launch games, the best game before MK7 arrival.

Well... I´m a little bit like the author of this thread.

I´ve been playing videogames since early 80´s, with those old Magnavox/Philips pong consoles and arcades like Pacman, Galaga(xian) and Centipede. I´ve never had a handheld simply because I thought that playing in a small device wasn´t enough for me to enjoy games, since I was always used to play with big screens.

But I never thought that handhelds were a bad thing. Just because since the old Game&WAtch I always met lots of people who really enjoyed them. I simply couldn´t take it to me. I would always prefer home consoles.

Today, as a storeroom manager and amateur musician, I don´t find enough time to enjoy videogames, I gave my Wii and PS2 to my brother and decided to give a go to the 3DS last November, so I could enjoy them during my work breaks, subway commuting or travels.

The result is that in just 4 months I´ve bought 19 games, and attended seven 3DS fans meeting in my city (Sao Paulo, Brazil). I´ve never thought how handheld games could be so much fun and how those games could really achieve such high level of quality.

ok, it´s true that I´ve spent a lot of money but I don´t regret it. 3DS is a fine piece of hardware and I believe Nintendo got it right with this console. Of course there are some minor issues, like battery life and the lack of a second analog stick, probably we will see in two years a redesigned 3DS, but still it´s a great console.

I strongly recommend you to try Kid Icarus and MGS Snake Eater. Those are excellent games. And they can be perfectly enjoyed without the circle pad pro. By the way, I haven´t bought it and I think it´s kind of a unecessary purchase right now, because the system seems cluncky with it. I prefer to enjoy the system as it is right now and wait for a redesigned model.

I love Samurai Warriors Chronicles, it's the first Warriors game I have ever played. And I have to say... I'm glad that it is because the other games suck. Let me say this, the thing about this game that makes this game so damn good is the multiple character switching! Without it, the game would be boring! I played Samurai Warriors 3 and Dynasty Warriors Strike Force whatever(can't remember the name) and hated them! The character switching allows for more strategy and action and that's what the series need. Thank god, Dynasty Warriors VS. is keeping it or else I wouldn't buy it!

tales of the abyss is a great game on the 3ds. dead or alive is as well, ocarina of time 3d is for me the perfect version of the game.
