Agree with all those software examples except the ports. Tired of ports. Wanna play 15 year old games? Buy the original and play it the way it was intended to be played.

Having said that, the 3DS is still killer. It's obvious handhelds are where Nintendo's focus is at. Can't go wrong.

Those aren't ports, a port is basically the exact same game on a different console, for Star Fox 64 and Ocarina of Time they completely remade the visuals and I think they look really good.  For Donkey Kong Country Returns they added new content that is not in the Wii version.

I am seeing a distinct lack of Shinobi on this list. It's probably the best action game on the system.

Thanks, your not the first person to ask me to add it, I was gonna add it, but I guess it slipped my mind.  Its on there now.

we are on vgchartz that gives us weekly sales of 3ds and Vita.

I think your totally preaching to the choir

My definition of port is if it's the same game. You can clean the graphics up all you want, but it's the same game I played when I was 17. I still OWN the game and an N64 and when I want to play it again, I play it that way.

Now, if a port contains new levels, changes the control scheme or alters the game in similar ways, then it's not really even the same game and thus, I have no interest. I believe these old games should be experienced the way that they were first intended to played. It's very similar to what went on with Star Wars imo. Lucas changed those films SO much, that they feel like different movies in some regards. If you want to play Resident Evil, Metal Gear Solid or OOT, get the original hardware, plug it into an old CRT and play them like they were meant to be played.

This is all my personal opinion BTW. You may feel completely different, and that's ok.

I dont mind ports of certain games, OoT/Star Fox are about 15 years old and still wome of the greatest games. Its a good way for a new generation to play them since most people dont own an N64 these days.

Reason to get a 3DS:

- Because it's the best console in the market nowadays. period.

I think something odd happened when you embedded the Mario Party image...

I kind of agree.

Games should be played in the way they were meant to be played. That's why I barely have any Virtual Console games. Because I either already have the original game or because I perfectly able to get it in it's original form. I have all the consoles, so that's not the problem. However, some games are so great, that I don't mind playing them in a new way and they are deserving of putting in lists such as these.

Ocarina and StarFox 64 are some of those games. Mario 64 was another when the DS came out. I own Ocarina in multiple ways now, including of course a boxed original. If I want to play the game as it should be played, I can. Though with such a game I have no problem buying a new version of it if I can enjoy new features and in this case completely remade graphics! I'm interested in seeing exactly what they did.
