Forums - Nintendo - This Is Why You Should Have A 3DS

I really want one, but those colors (red and blue sucks). Can't import one because nintendo likes region lock.


I thought the black one came out worldwide.  If you can't get that you can get the Animal Crossing white one, I'm sure that is still available.

Barely a handful of great titles in there. It's time to face it, we're almost 3 years into it and this hand held generation is horribly mediocre at the moment.


There's a lot more than a handful of great games, just look them up on metacritic and see the high scores most of those games have.  Just because you don't prefer the genre or you are tired of Mario does not mean it is not a great game.

No, the OP missed a lot of games as well.  OP missed Sonic Generations, Super Street Fighter IV, Dead or Alive, Zero Escape, Theatrhythm Final Fantasy, Harvest Moon, a plethora of eShop games (VC and original 3DS eShop games), the upcoming Rune Factory 4, Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Milennium Girl, Yoshi's New Island, an announced Persona game, and there's the maybe Dragon Quest VII and maybe Fantasy Life.

There are still more games that could be on the list but I didn't put them down.



Damn so happy I have a 3DS, Its heaven for Nintendo and JRPG fans



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

When compared to what? Saying the OP's list of games (which isn't nearly all of them) are bad just because you don't like them doesn't warrant this whole generation pathetic. Many, many people herald the 3DS' library as one of the best, already.

I was hoping for some amazing game footage, not a bunch of pictures of game covers.


Or you could just open another tab, go to youtube and type the name of the game followed by gameplay.  Then come back to this tab to see what games you want to look up.

I could have done that before, and I chose not to.  Convince me to get a 3DS.


If you don't care enough to open a tab and look up the gameplay then I don't think you are even rometely interested in the 3DS at all.  You can look at the list of good games for the system here, and I doubt you already knew about all these games or could possible remember them all, considering there are so many there.

I realize not everyone like Mario Golf...
But I'm pretty pumped for it...
I was bummed when it was delayed, but I can wait...
I just hope it's better than Mario Tennis Open...


Ya I bought Mario Tennis because it was $25 and I was pretty dissapointed, especially considering how good some of the older Mario Tennis games were.  I mean Mario Tennis Power Tour is one of my favorite GBA games, if you haven't played it yet I highly recommend it.

There are 24 games on that list, assuming all games will be $40, then 24*40+170(Cost of 3DS) =$1130.  Dam this is an expensive hobby XD.  Tbh by the end of the 3DS life cycle I know Ill have spent a lot more than that, if Nintendo keeps pumping out games this often.
