The N3ds released in 2011 to a major software drought and poor sales. However, it was able to turn its fortunes with a) a price cut and b) the release of musthave games. But what game was the most important to the 3ds? You could point to the one with biggest sales, but it could be argued that other games paved the way for the 3DS push into public consciousness. Personally, I think Mario Kart 7 which released in the holiday 2011 season, was the game that gave the 3DS the push it needed into profitability. Runners up imo are Pokemon XY and Super Mario 3D Land.

When you're the MVP, you go where you want to go.

Vita was the real MVP

Idk strnge magic. Hopefully its moved

I cant really remember what happened back then..... But I'll also say MK7

For me, it was pokemon. Also news of the then upcoming ssb 3ds also made me purchase one. The nintendo Sony 3ds is a pretty awesome little system.

Bravely and Fire Emblem. Because it showed people that it's irrelevant how bad the platform is. If you release great games as an exclusive for it, they will buy it anyway.

Mario Kart 7, because it was an early release that sold over 10 million copies.


(This thread is still in the Sony discussion btw)

I approve that this thread stays in the Sony discussion.

Probably Pokemon
