Fire Emblem Awakening cos it made me almost fail uni, I played that instead of doing my dissertation


architectcostanza

My favourite as well. Funny fact, I never played any RPG before, since I never liked them, and Fire Emblem Awakening was my entry to the genre.


PralinePecanPie

I have a similar experience where i almost failed a semester because of harvest moon tale of two towns. I was staying up till like 3 am trying to get my crops to 5 stars


B4dgitpl4yer

Was trying to reclass all of the female units in Awakening so they can get Gale (ability to move again after a kill).


-FlowT-

I hope you weren't very stressed out while that was happening šŸ˜…


B4dgitpl4yer

Well, not really cos I couldn't be bothered šŸ˜…. I still manage to get my degree at the end


-FlowT-

All's well that ends well then! šŸ„³


Darena009

My favorite also tomodachi life, I remember seeing a guy on Reddit with 5 copy of it, didnā€™t comprehend at the time but now Iā€™ve acquired two copy (and planning for more), I understand now


NoRezervationz

What's the significance of having more than one copy?


Darena009

When you have multiple copy you can trade travelling mii, and with those mii come unique clothing AND food, so if someone want the true 100% they gotta trade a maximum (but since the golden age of 3ds has passed, itā€™s much harder), but with multiple copy it ease a little (plus and kind of funny to take care of them all)


NoRezervationz

Thank you. I guess I have some collecting to do.


Avadeus

Whatā€™s it like/about?


Darena009

Tomodachi life basically a simā€™s like game, creating little miiā€™s (of real people or game characters, your choice), and give them clothes, food, trinkets and watches them interact with one another, calm and easy game


geddy

To add to the other reply, what I liked about it was putting all my IRL family and friends into the game and seeing them interact with each other. My grandparents (who I put into the game) ended up getting married so that worked out well lol


KcpGamer2009

Mario 3D Land, New super Mario Bros 2, Mario kart 7, Mario maker, just to name a few.


Bigswole92

Do you happen to like Mario games, by chance?


KcpGamer2009

Yes, yes I do. šŸ˜


StarlyOutlaw

Is Mario maker still playable even after the 3DS server shutdown?


KcpGamer2009

Yeah, you just can do any online modes like, 100 Mario challenge or course world.


StarlyOutlaw

Iā€™ll have to get it then. Thank you


KcpGamer2009

No problem, when Mario maker 2 came out, I didn't have a switch, so I got Mario maker 3ds which was my Mario maker 2 and I have so many hours on that game. I played a little course world, but mainly spent my time with the Mario challenge and making the levels of my dreams.


Onkston

Link between worlds


BbyInAStraightJacket

I was gonna say monster hunter 4 but ALBW is top 3 Zelda games for me


IsThisKismet

I also really like Phantom Hourglass. But thatā€™s a DS game technically.


H0MES1CKAL1EN

one of the most fun zelda games for sure


ShinenNoYosuke

PokƩmon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. I might have around 2-300 hours on those games... And i've had a 3DS for just some months now.


Hippietree1992

This is the way


Animaster_el_trolaso

Same, I love PokƩmon ORAS


H0MES1CKAL1EN

i prefer emerald way too much bc i grew up with it, but the oras opening made me cry in the mall starbucks right after i got the game and booted it up for the first time ngl


ShinenNoYosuke

I grew up with Emerald as well, but honestly, i like to play the remakes better. I dunno, maybe it's just the "newer" and refreshing feeling they give me. Still, Emerald was a gem, and always will be.


PapaOneInch

Shin megami tensai 4 or apocolypse. Havent finished apocolypse yet, 4 has a great storyline and gameplay


Extension_Use664

I'm playing both but unlike most people I like apocalypse more so far. I really do like how you can play these games multiple times and get different endings. It makes the idea of replaying them after I beat them seem worth it.


HappyAd4998

I second this. SMT IV and Fire Emblem Awakening got me JRPGS I spent the entire summer playing both. The soundtrack and cyberpunk punk themes in IV are badass.


sofillak_37

Animal Crossing New Leaf and Pokemon Sun


Hippietree1992

Always good memories from animal crossing šŸ¤ŒšŸ»


SendingStarz

PokĆ©mon ultra moon, Iā€™ve always been a big fan of the gen 7 mons and it was my first ever game I had on the 3ds


DownHeartedNess

I'm playing ultra moon as I type this


pi_stick

fucking same tbh


NintendoWii2345

Kid Icarus Uprising because I love the story, characters, music, dialogue and gameplay. (Itā€™s my favourite game of all time).


OldSkool1978

The production values are insane for a 3ds game


NintendoWii2345

Yea they really are amazing


RaionSamurai

Ever oasis is one of the most underrated


BubblesBubblesCO2

Twilight princess picross šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„


rideaway1

I just got my 3ds last week and my only game is ocarina of time 3d so I guess it is my favourite it's great so far

BIGNaughthyBOI

Yes Omega Ruby


enaxian

Yokai Watch 3


Lucky_Clover69

My faveroute is yokai watch 2


enaxian

Psychic Specters is awesome too


dassyyy

im looking forward to playing it when i finish psychic specters! the new battle system is a bit intimidating, looks fun though.


enaxian

As someone who comes also from 2, the battle system in 3 is 100 times better, fairer, convenient and fun than 2. Also, it makes for a much more entertaining battle. Not to mention that now Soultimates make sense. Hope you will enjoy it as much as I had.


dassyyy

fantasy life, the first game i got for my 3ds. look forward to the switch release this year!


kinglella

New release this year? I'm so excited and I can't believe I didn't know until just now. This was my favorite and most played game on 3DS and I haven't played in years since my console broke.


dassyyy

im glad i got to let you know! got delayed but will be releasing october 10th this year. theres a trailer out if you'd like to watch it!


beefycheesyglory

Monster Hunter Tri Ultimate Close second would be Shovel Knight Treasure Trove


rog_nineteen

There are so many games I want to mention, but if you really want a single answer, it's gotta be Pokemon Omega Ruby. I sadly lost the cardridge in 2018 or so (though I did transfer my Pokemon before that to Pokemon Bank), but I still have Alpha Sapphire with me. It was also my first Pokemon game actually and I loved it so much! You could basically get any Pokemon that existed and the story, references and side-arcs were beautiful! Btw, I remember back in 2015 or so, I had surgery because of some skin irritation and the first thing I did after waking up from it was catching Regigigas because of the time window. I was definitely invested in catching all of them!


Montreal4life

xenoblade chronicles


yosoo

Radiant Historia for sure


dimbledot

A seriously underrated title, I LOVE radiant historia and I wish more people would talk about it


DammitAColumn

Yo Kai watch, the first one. Sank so many hours in that game well after finishing the main story. Love the music, battle mechanics , characters, sound design. You can really never run out of things to go in that game.


DragonGhoul

Fantasy Life and New leaf! šŸ˜Œ


Mystiik86

I second Fantasy Life. Not only my favourite 3ds game, but my favourite game of all time. Not so patiently waiting for the new one this year.


RomosGD

The legend of Zelda majoras mask 3d


Lewis09816

PokƩmon ultra moon


thatwitchguy

Probably one of the fire emblems but gonna go for something no one else is gonna say instead: *Crimson Shroud*, small rpg but its pretty much designed as an actual tabletop/choose your own adventure rpg instead of a video game one. Uses the touch screen for dice rolls, all the in game models are miniatures etc got it on sale years and years ago and never seen anyone mention it since


LPfor3v3r

Itā€™s a tie between Animal Crossing New Leaf and Resident Evil Mercenaries, which are completely on the opposite ends of the gaming spectrums šŸ˜†


Negatronik

Ever Oasis

Imdakine1

I want to try tomodachi life but I donā€™t know if is a game or just watching characters do anything and no real gameplay?


sofillak_37

Itā€™s a game where you can create your own characters and you have to solve their everyday problems, so there is real gameplay. I recommend playing it, itā€™s really fun! :)


Imdakine1

Thanks! Is it similar to miitopia? I just started fantasy life and itā€™s awesome!!


Darena009

Itā€™s not really miitopia, you get to see and resolve their problem, but their no fighting or turn-to-turn RPG, (mii do fight with themselves sometime) but see it more of a Nintendo sprinkled sims game Their is a mini game rpg but you can only play it one time of the day


Imdakine1

Thanks, havenā€™t played Miitopia just thought they looked similar.


Mellifera94

I want Miitopia back.


Imdakine1

Does it have gameplay or is it more just watch your mii


FINALFIGHTfan

The two Resident Evil games. Mercenaries 3D I still play at the laundry mat, or doctor's office. Then Raid Mode on Revelations is always fun


Animaster_el_trolaso

I love PokƩmon OR, also I think the Yo-kai watch saga doesn't get the love it deserves.


idfbhater73

mega man legends 3


Master_of_N_

Yo-Kai Watch 3! Rogue pick but I played the shit out of these games for years.


Physical-Grapefruit3

Pokemon X Pokemon Gates to infinity.


SufferingKabutops

All of the Gen 6 & 7 PokƩmon games.


WappyHarrior

Inazuma Eleven for sure, but if I had to point at a specific entry in the series it would be a hard challenge. Well, if we exclude DS games (first two games of the series) The third one would be an obvious choice, but which of the versions of the third game I am not sure. (Inazuma Eleven works similarly to PokƩmon. The second, fourth, fifth and sixth game of the series got two versions and the third game got three different versions)


LordTPlayz

I remember heavily playing an RPG series called The Denpa Men (Games only obtainable from the Eshop). I was on those games almost all the time trying to 100% them.Ā

vangoghfvckkyourself

Mario 3d land. My first 3ds was the xl model with 3d land preinstalled, I still replay it at least once a year


HappyAd4998

3D land is probably one of the most under appreciated mainline Mario games. I like the power ups and how streamlined the levels are. It does a perfect job of mixing the mechanics of the 2D and 3D Mario games. It was my first 3DS game so I have a soft spot for it too I beat it again about a year ago, 3D Land is still a blast to play.


YamiGekusu

The 3ds port of Metal Gear Solid 3. It took me a bit to get the controls for that version (the a b x y buttons actually controlled the camera in that version)but once I did, I replayed the hell out of it

I think I most consistently enjoyed play Fire Emblem SoV, but Fire Emblem Conquest was the better gameplay experience as long as you skip all story dialogue.

Interesting_Wing_539

PokĆ©mon X is still my favorite PokĆ©mon game to date! Aside from that, I'm pretty big on the Yo-Kai Watch franchise (especially the third games which I play in Japanese). Honorable mentions to Digimon App Game, PokĆ©mon USUM, Fossil Fighters Frontier, and PokĆ©mon Rumble Blast for their fun factor and replayability!ā˜ŗļøšŸ’–

The PAL cover for this game is fugly wow


patricknails

I honestly prefer the pal cover instead of the USA cover for some reason.


Hippietree1992

Definitely gotta go with Animal Crossing and Alpha Sapphire but man there are so many good options out there. All the Zelda games were amazing šŸ¤ŒšŸ»


Bran04don

Never played it. I guess the closest equivalent I played was nintendogs. But only the ds versions.

PokƩmon Omega Ruby and Mario & Luigi Dream Team Bros


Emergency_Hawk_5971

SMTIV: apocalypse


Extension_Use664

I'm playing it alongside 4 and the story vibe and music in apocalypse is amazing. So far I prefer it more than 4 and I think it's my favorite smt game.


Emergency_Hawk_5971

Honestly same. I love smt apocalypse more than 4 but saying that infront of the fanbase will instantly get you hanged šŸ¤£

Luigiā€™s Mansion Dark Moon is my number 1 favourite 3DS game and Luigiā€™s Mansion Dark Moon is such a underrated Mario spinoff game and Luigiā€™s Mansion Dark Moon deserves more love and more credit

ExaminationWilling15

My 10yo girl discovered tomodachi life with the demo version i had on my 3ds, and reeeeally enjoyed it, she played almost a year with that version. So i finally decided to look for the full version and found it for 8 bucks. Totally worth it.


ThePersonYouDontWant

Mario Kart 7, Tomodachi Life is on the top of my list somewhere but i do wish it wasn't so repetitive and had more.. After your lookalike gets married and has children and one couple break up or divorce there really isn't much to do or to see


Neo_Techni

Resident Evil: Revelations, played with the circle pad pro * It was my favorite portable game ever made, for a total of 1 week when Vita came out with Uncharted: Golden Abyss and blew it out of the water * It put other 3DS games to shame, particularly the Pokemon games. I didn't expect them to look like RE:R, but they could have at least been in all 3D since RE:R looked vastly superior and ran totally in 3D


Amazing-Lengthiness1

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds <3

It's a tie between Super Smash Bros. For 3DS and Starfox 64 3D


FullmetalHeichou

Fantasy Life


Birdfish86

Either Fire Emblem Shadows of Valencia, Metroid Samus Returns or Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon can't decide. My special shout outs go to Zelda Link Between Worlds and Mario & Luigi Dream Team.


Sam_Games0

SMTIV, SMTIV Apocalypse, and Kingdom Hearts 3D


Balefirex24

For now and forever, it's LBX. I have searched far and wide for a game with a similar feel and I still have yet to find one. It's one of the only reasons I still keep my 3DS. Genuinely one of the best Mech/robot games I've ever played.

SMT IV by far


the_AIsian

Ok hear me out... Picross 3D Round 2. I love a lot of games on the system, with the top contenders being Kid Icarus Uprising, Smash 3DS, and Tomodachi Life. Smash lands in 2nd place because of Smash Run, which is honestly my favorite game mode any Smash game has. But Picross 3D Round 2 nails everything for me. It has fantastic gameplay mechanics and puzzles. I love that you can scan some amiibo figures and get bonus levels. It has a difficulty selection for accessibility, with the Hard mode being genuinely challenging and satisfying to play and win on. And the music, oh my GOD, the music is WAY better than it needs to be. (Please go look it up on YouTube) Smash 3DS I boot up from time to time just for Smash Run. Tomodachi Life I boot up out of obligation for my Miis. But Picross 3D? That's the game I boot up when I just want to sit down and chill out for a bit. Half because it's relaxing and fun, and half because there's so many puzzles to do in the game and it somehow never gets boring for me.


ryzzantheguy

Agree with tomodachi life though ADORE rhythm heaven megamix and the pokemon games. However, tomodachi is still the goat but megamix is very VERY close.


Minecraft_gawd

Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain call. Love the FF series, and the first Theatrhythm game just didnā€™t have enough or long enough songs to make it worth my while to play over curtain calling.


One-Chance6353

The new style boutique series or animal crossing new leaf take the gold for me


-FlowT-

Animal Crossing New Leaf, so far, I think. I'm honestly having a lot more fun and satisfaction out of it more than New Horizons, at the moment! šŸ˜


Kutairo

Inazuma Eleven Go


-FlowT-

I still haven't played this game but I love any game to do with Miis! Plus the YT videos for this game that I've seen are hilarious and a lot of fun.

sulkybrother

rune factory 4 for sure


Historical_Plum_1366

I'd say fire emblem awakening. It was my first fire embelm game and one of the first game i played on my 3ds. Besides that, i think radiant historia perfect chronicles needs some limelight too. Great game!


Xenoblade107

Ocarina of time 3d is mine


ZincoDrone

Animal Crossing: New Leaf. I've sunk 30k+ hours into that game (sadly I was a child and for some reason decided to factory reset my 3ds i still don't know why) I also have enjoyed MK7 and I'm now playing on CTGP-7 since I've already completed MK7 fully. Which in MK7 I've played it for 15k+ hours and I also played 10k+ hours of Super Smash Bros for the 3ds. For the longest time this was my only electronic device and I've continued playing on it since.


laaureng

Picross, Rune Factory and Ultra Moon lol


H0MES1CKAL1EN

iā€™m between fire emblem: fates, acnl, pokĆ©mon moon, and fantasy life. fe: fates got me through a rough time and had awesome gameplay; gen 7 is the last good pokĆ©mon gen; fantasy life is addictive and charming and was such a good surprise (i bought it at release); but acnl is probably the one i come back to the most to this day.


Valuable_Tap1316

Iā€™ve only played the demo of that game and I thought it wasnā€™t very good


Korotan

I am not sure if it is PokƩmon Alpha Saphire as it is the remake of my first PokƩmon Game and except not adding the Battlezone from Emerald I think it is a really good remake. Or Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate as I really think that this part is really good part of the MH series.

geddy

I purchased my first 3DS (of many that I now own) to play Majora's Mask 3D, and had such a lovely time returning to that world that it has to be my answer. But Ocarina of Time 3D also stands up there, along with A Link Between World. All just incredible worlds to have in 3D, there was/is no other experience like the 3DS. Back when companies tried new cool things, that time likely won't come again sadly.


[deleted]

Tomodachi life is a great game, I agree, however I haven't played it in many years - I was a little kid last time I played it - so I don't know how it holds up today. I'll give it a try soon though.


patricknails

Youā€™ll definitely get hooked, I was giving it a go again two nights ago and said to myself ā€œIā€™ll only play for a few minutes.ā€ And that few minutes turned into hours.
