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.


@bolded/italic/underlined Yes. Yes it is. lol

But I'll more than likely get the games when they go on a sale rather than buying them at a full price. They often go on sales on Amazon which is where I usually buy console/portable games but I sometimes wait till black friday for some games.

This is how big my current wishlist is atm ;x

I'm the same way XD.  I use sticky notes though to list all the games I still have to buy.  I like using amazon for handheld games to, I recently got back into PSP collecting because the games for it are so cheap on amazon.  Not all games of cource, but a lot of good ones are.

Dear heavenly lord, 3DS. You sexy. I can see some people not being so into a lot of these titles, but as a first-party Nintendo nut this little system is a slice of heaven. (And the third-party offerings ain't so bad either.)

I have one.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

you know.... there is a few things missing from here, Picross 3d, Elite Beat Agents, Rhythm Heaven, Final Fantasy 3 and 4, Pokemon Black and White 1/2, Tetris DS, NSMB, Metroid Prime : Hunters, Mario Kart DS.... The reason you should absolutely own a 3ds XL is you also get full access to the gigantic library of amazing NDS games through perfect backwards compatibility

If I included DS games then this list would be 10x bigger, its just too much XD.

the 3DS and the Vita are two best things to happen to gaming recently , and they get ignored a lot (well the vita more so than 3DS thanks to animal crossing )

Yeah that was kinda what I was trying to get accross just that because you get not 1 but 2 absolutely amazing game libraries by getting a 3ds I would say it would actually be impossible to say there wasn't at least 1 game you could play on the 3ds that wouldn't make you happy... unless you were like... a stone?

I do appreciate this as I asked maxwell not long ago and he didn't seem like he wanted to help me all that much. Will check back once it gets fleshed out a bit more.

You should take Project X Zone off there. I'm embarrassed to see that game touted as a reason to buy a 3DS.

You can replace it with about a dozen different eShop games to start. Might as well throw GBC Shantae on there since the 3DS is the only system that can play it legally for less than $300.
