Probably Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward.

Being the sequel to 999 (one of my favorite DS games), it was one of the main reasons I got a 3DS.
The game is basically a bit like the movie "Saw".

A survival room setting where one of the participants is said to be the mastermind behind it all who trapped everyone there. So you need to figure out who you can and cannot trust.

After that I would go with Fire Emblem: Awakening, and Zelda: A Link Between Worlds.

Shouldn't that be Dragon Quest VIII and not VII?

Good catch! Thanks for letting me know.

Like I said earlier it’s Resident Evil Revelations for me, and since it’s one of the day winners it gets my vote here.

I guess Xenoblade isn’t that popular on this forum when compared to other 3DS games.

Who else besides me voted for it?

Going through the threads about 3ds it becomes very clear to me that it was not a system for me. I struggle to find anything that I like enough to get my vote. I have played over half the games posted in the poll at any given moment. But few are beaten, none I have returned too and just a handful I even like.
Bought the 3DS during its first month and played the GBS titles received from the Nintendo Ambassadors program more than the original releases on the system.
Granted the remakes of the classic N64 Zelda games are probably the best way to play the games, but it just feels wrong giving the title to the best on the system to remakes.

Might just have been in a bad gaming-state during the 3DS era. Might need to take a deep dive back into the system to try and find out if it has something for me. It just is strange that I'm so indifferent towards a handheld (my favorite way to play games) from Nintendo (my favorite publisher).

I really am surprised by Metroid: Samus Return getting so many votes. It's a lot weaker than other newer 2D Metroids. Granted, it is an improved remake of the worst Metroid game so it's not that surprising for it to be a weaker game than Fusion, Zero Mission, or Dread. I guess it had lower expectations, but I still prefer the others. I figured 3DS had a lot of games that were more deserving.
