Bought 3DS on impulse - game recommendations?

I see that I'll have to get Fire Emblem, although I'm completely unfamiliar with the series. Also am interested in Star Fox since I've never played it for longer than 5 min.

The nice thing about FE: Awakening is that even though it refers to past Fire Emblem games, it is entirely self-contained. From what I've played, it's the best introduction to the series for any new player, be they strategy veterans or general gaming neophytes. It's also good in that its as casual or hardcare as you choose to make it. It can be moderately easy or insanely difficult, based on your preferences.

Star Fox is a great game... but you can see all it has to offer in about 4 hours. An amazing four hours with awesome gameplay and visuals, but still four hours. High scores are a major part of the game, so if that doesn't appeal to you, I'd recommend only getting Star Fox 64 3D for a fairly low price.

Me personally: I bought SF64 3D for $10 (it was on sale), played it through a few times, and sold it back for $5. Best rental ever.

 

Bought Star Fox too! Wasn't aware that the port had updated graphics - that has tipped the scale for me. The game looks great.

Oddly, I find myself mostly hyped for games that I thought I wouldn't be hyped at all

Now I have (ordered by my hype level, descending):

Star Fox 3d

SSF IV

LoZ:OoT

Zero escape: VLR

Super Mario 3D land

 

I think that should get me sttled on the system. With my looooooooong Steam backlog, this is going to last me till the end of next year.
