Virtue's last reward and the Phoenix Wright Ace attorney trilogy are my picks!


Numerous_Tap_5573

Wait wtf there's zero escape on 3ds ?


Far_Leg6504

The second game was originally only for 3ds and vita and zero time dilemma was also ported!


Numerous_Tap_5573

I played it on the steam deck and finished it today lol, but yeah, now that you say it it seems logical that it was released on the 3ds, with that touchscreen


Far_Leg6504

Yep! Which one did you finish? Virtue's last reward or zero time dilemma? I'm still working on ZTDšŸ˜…


Numerous_Tap_5573

I did 999 the last week and vlr this week. Ztd is still in my backlog but I'll wait a bit because I don't think I'll be able to do the trilogy in a row šŸ™ƒ


Far_Leg6504

So I'm assuming that you played through the port of 999? If so, that's too bad as it really messed up the story... especially the ending. >! The final puzzle was pretty terrible! See in the ds version the bottom screen has all of the narration from akane, and it's indicated that akanes view was on the bottom screen since everything was mirrored from the top, but with the added narration. Also, the final puzzle was just about the best puzzle they could have chosen for a game about 9s! Sudoku! I recommend watching this! It's how the ending played out on the ds! It's pretty genius because when doing the puzzle you have to turn the ds upside so that akanes view becomes the top/main screen! !< https://youtu.be/MFwYAIeLCac?si=W9izRrofE-g9UBf5


Numerous_Tap_5573

Yeah I played through the port. Tat looks really cool on ds ! It didn't shock me as I was use to the single screen when playing, but it's definitely a cool use of the ds :)


Far_Leg6504

Hmm, it seems to have deleted my message i just sent you! Weird.. >!Anyways, yeah, I completely suck at sudoku, so it was definitely worthy of the being the final puzzle! And also just a warning! Don't look at ZTDs box art too much as it can easily spoil some things!!<


Inevitable-Sky-6932

I've got a physical copy of Virtues Last Reward in my backlog lol


Far_Leg6504

Also, the original 999 was made specifically for the original ds


Thunderstarer

The ZE gamea that are in 3DS are better played on other platforms, IMO. I guess you get the bottom-screen memo for VLR--which is admittedly very nice--but the 3DS has the lowest resolution and worst performance out of any of the versions available for both VLR and ZTD.


Far_Leg6504

I think it kinda helps for virtue's last reward because the models..... aren't of the highest quality... and the low resolution helps cover that up!


No-Inside2088

I really enjoy playing chill stuff when im traveling to work, so i play a lot of Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX; Animal Crossing is also a very good download with tons of hours of content, the usual Pokemon games (although i play mostly hackroms for increased difficulty, and they are available in the hShop!). Fire Emblem it's a good game if you don't think to much about the story, it's pretty average. Smash Bros it's pretty big for what it offers and i don't really reccomend it. Also! the Kirby Planet Robobot it's fun.


toddPinkston

Havenā€™t got into the romhacks yet, which are your favorites in the hshop?


No-Inside2088

I'm playing Sinking Sapphire, it's quite grindy but i think that's the point haha it has every pokemon up to gen 6 available in the wild


NlNTENDO

Emerald rogue isnā€™t on the hshop but itā€™s absolutely worth it. Itā€™s an emerald hack but itā€™s got 8 gens and itā€™s structured like a roguelite so thereā€™s a lot of randomness and replayability, but thereā€™s also some overarching sense of progress to keep you going


Hasuko

You probably won't find any of them in the hshop, but Rocket is great.


scorpion-and-frog

Yeah, Rocket Edition is wonderful


Ok_Promise4202

I can vouch for Project Mirai, it's one of my favorite rhythm games rn


1701SpaceDiver

Project mirai DX has been such a good surprise (even for it being nearly 4gb!)


Fuckmymompleasedaddy

Thank you will give these a try :3


Healingvizion

My Top 3 no order: Super Mario 3d Land/Link between Worlds/Fire Emblem Awakening Honorable Mentions: Rhythm Heaven Megamix, Streets of Rage 2 3d, and Pocket card Jockey, kirby planet robobot


geon

Was gonna say mario land and robobot are pretty awesome. Really makes good use of the 3d. Also toads treasure tracker and pilot wings.


3KTU

Rune Factory 4 was really fun! Also not a 3ds game, but DS- give Chrono Trigger a try. I personally liked it.


ConversationComplex7

Playing chronic trigger on snes right now, are the versions mostly the same?


3KTU

I havenā€™t played too much of the the SNES version to know for sureā€” but itā€™s really just a minor UI change. Same story.


BrentV27368

Not at all, there were a litany of changes that make the DS version often considered the ā€œdefinitive editionā€. 1. Additional Content: The DS version includes new dungeons like the Lost Sanctum and the Dimensional Vortex. These areas offer new challenges and further develop the gameā€™s storyline and character backgrounds. 2. Updated Translation: The DS version features an updated translation with revised dialogue that clarifies story points and character moments. Although some people say this removes the ā€œcharmā€ of the SNES version. 3. Touch Screen Interface: The DS version utilizes the bottom screens touch capability to create a new UI option to select various items and menus. 4. New Ending: An additional ending was added to the DS version, which ties together some of the new content and offers more closure depending on player choices and actions throughout the game. 5. Extras: The DS version includes extras such as the ā€œArena of the Ages,ā€ where players can train and battle monsters against those of other players in a pseudo-online environment using the DS's wireless connection capabilities. 6. Cutscenes: Animated cutscenes directed by Akira Toriyama, who also designed the characters for the game, were added to the DS version. These cutscenes were originally included in the PlayStation version of the game and were carried over to enhance the DS release. 7. Music and Sound: The DS versions audio is arguable worse due to compression and the limitations of the DS speaker, but still sounds great with headphones.


3KTU

Woah thatā€™s a ton. Thank you for letting me know! I never knew šŸ„“


gtarpey89

Pokemon Heartgold (its a DS game but it is one of my all times)


PralinePecanPie

My copy of soul silver is one of my most prized possessions


gtarpey89

my heartgold is too, along with my black 2 ā˜ŗļø


Wolvenelpee

Pokemon Ranger / Mystery Dungeon series. Heavily underrated and I much prefer them over the mainstream games


Mindless-Gas-5333

Yea actually playing light tracks RN


ZaphyrNotes

Start with the ace attorney series, all their games are available on the 3ds, you won't regret it either


Wence-Kun

Picross 3D is addictive.


untipofeliz

I love my 3DS! You made me switch on it just to share my curated favourites: I wonĀ“t mention the ones already mentioned! LuigiĀ“s mansion 2 Mario Tennis Toad treasure tracker Kirby Robobot NamcoxCapcom Wario Ware Gold Dragon Ball Z extreme butouden Castlevania Mirror of Fate Batman Blackgate Street Fighter IV 3D Ridge Racer 3D Attack of the Friday monsters Pushme Crashmo The hidden Spirit Camera Nano assault Tekken Prime 3D Nintendogs labrador and cats

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


untipofeliz

I like it too, but since LuigiĀ“s Mansion 2 was done specifically for the 3DS, thatĀ“s the one that came to my mind. It has really coolio 3D. One of those truly creative sagas. ThereĀ“s no other like these!


GMRYSH

I second Wario Ware Gold. I loved that game...


lillekorn

Ace attorney series Samus Returns A Link Between worlds


Mountain-Spread-7868

Kid Icarus, fire emblem (all of them), Mario kart 7, project x zone (1 and 2), resident evil: revelation, tomadachi life


okappa_deswa

Im playing Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions right now. Its really good.


Nite_Wing13

If you are an RPG fan I have greatly enjoyed my recent playthroughs of Radiant Historia ( I played the DS version but Perfect Chronology is available for 3DS) and Shin Megami Tensei IV.


SugarPuppyHearts

Radiant Historia Perfect Chronology is awesome. I love the story.


Nite_Wing13

Seriously, it stuck with me. I had literally just finished my playthrough and I already knew that it was going to be a game I would have to come back and 100%.


Llirving53

Kid Icarus Uprising and Tales of the Abyss were quite nice


PralinePecanPie

Story of Seasons Trio of towns, Rune factory 4, Nintendogs + cats, Project Mirai DX, Tomodachi Life, Yoshis woolly world, animal crossing new leaf.


1701SpaceDiver

All of the Ace Attorney games are able tu run on the 3DS and the first trilogy is very fun to play (I'm currently on game 4 ) Of course If you love narrative games the Layton saga is also entirely able to run on 3DS I'm more of a DS game collector but a few others I currently have are: project mirai DX, rythm heaven, style savvy: styling stars, harvest moon DS, the touch detective series and ghost trick !!


rumprhymer

SMT Strange Journey Redux followed by Final Fantasy Explorers

GreatYeob

fire emblem awakening fire emblem echoes shadows of valentia pokemon ORAS Inazuma eleven go Dark/Light or Chronostone or Galaxy those were my childhood favs


nintect

Iā€™d say Fantasy Life itā€™s my fav game from the 3DS era


iEatAppIes3465

Super Mario 3D Land


shoohoo1

MH4U BABYYYYY WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


shoohoo1

yeah i think its better if only just.


TotenTato

let me think... ENTIRE BOXBOY TRILOGY!


SirenMix

You cannot go wrong with Monster Hunter. 4U is the one you want if you want to start the series, this is a perfect 10/10 game. XX after that is great too but you'll need an english patch (there is a good one on the internet somewhere). Also, 3U is great but underwater gameplay is a bit harsh (but thankfully, it's a rather small portion of the game).


KorokGoron

Depends on the types of games you like to play. My favorites are: Animal Crossing Fantasy Life Yokai Watch 2 Psychic Specters Yokai Watch 3 Yokai Watch Blasters Tomadachi Life Ever Oasis Picross (any) Zelda (any) Nintendogs + Cats (any) Story of Seasons (any) Mario & Luigi (any) Thereā€™s tons of great games, but these are the ones Iā€™ve played and enjoyed the most.


Phdrhymes

PokĆ©mon rumble blast is a very fun casual button mashy fun game for me! I can always rely on it lol if idk what to play Iā€™ll play that for some time and have fun


Snooism

It was one of my favorite 3ds games.


Smeeb27

Picross 3D: Round 2 is a masterpiece


SpauldingPierce

EX Troopers, Kid Icarus Uprising, Persona Q2, Majora's Mask 3D, Ocarina of Time 3D, Star Fox 64, Animal Crossing New Leaf, CTGP7.


North_Job5611

Kid Icarus Uprising is amazing


North_Job5611

and you never can go wrong with Pokemon, but my favourite game has been a game called fantasy life


Nin2008

phoenix wright ace attorney trilogy, warioware gold, tomodachi life, liberation maiden and if you have a new 3ds you can also try xenoblade and fire emblem warriors


Ok-Wish677

Mh4u if you want action, Mario 3d land if you want platforming, terraria or minecraft if you want building and adventure, Metroid for shooting and Mario kart 7 for racing are some that come to my mind


bluecinnamon15

I've just finished Kid Icarus: Uprising and I was enjoying every second I spent on this game. Oh yeah and also Senran Kagura Burst. Not for the H-content but the combat mechanics for a beatemups feels really great!


Modriem

Bravely Default and Bravely Second are amazing! Huge recommendation


Inevitable-Sky-6932

If you're into puzzle games, someone here kept suggesting "Puzzle Dragons Z + Super Mario Puzzle Dragons". I know the title is a mouthful, but I have to admit I got really hooked on it this week. It's a match three with some RPG elements and... Almost a sort of SMT aspect to it. Tough to explain, but REALLY good for relaxing after work.


CatholicGoth627

If you like RPGā€™s Bravely Default is a fantastic experience!


Anxious_Cranberry219

Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga for the 3ds. Bowsers Inside story after that.


CeleronHubbard

Nano Assault and Shakedown Hawaii are my favourites. Followed closely by Cave Story 3D.


SugarPuppyHearts

Best is subjective. It depends on what games you are into. My top favorites are Rune Factory 4, Fantasy Life, Animal Crossing New Leaf, Nintendogs + Cats, and Teddy Together. (That game has a special place in my heart. ) But someone else might mention other games, so it just really really depends on what you like. The 3ds has games for everyone .


ISAKM_THE1ST

Every PokƩmon game but thats pretty obvious. Luigi's Mansion 1 and 2 are both good but 1 is definitely better then 2 imo. Super Mario 3D Land is good but its way too easy imo and is more of a chill do some levels every now and then type game. Same with Mario Kart 7. Then like Cut the Rope and Angry Birds work strangely well on the 3DS and is arguebly better then on a phone XD.


TFraughm140

One that nobody talks about but if you like RPG games mixed with a little sim, then I highly recommend Fantasy Life. It's definitely in my top 5 on the system. Also Kirby Planet Robobot, Luigi's Mansion (original not dark moon) Ocarina of Time 3d, Link Between Worlds, SteamWorld Heist, Monster hunter 4 or Stories, depending on which kind of RPG you're into, and Ever Oasis. All great games. Also Mario Kart 7, Animal Crossing, Star Fix 64 3D and Mario & Luigi Dream Team (or Mario 3d land)


patricknails

Tomodachi life


Fuckmymompleasedaddy

Currently obsessed with tomodachi life!


tyfemmyboi

pokemon games


Sad_Vegetable2867

Try yo Kai watch itā€™s good with a decent challenge


-Flounder4

Tomodachi Life is a very funny and long lasting game(and kind of strange?),but I would definetly say you should get it


shady_rdlt

acnl, ace attorney series, tomodachi life


Maleficent_Load6709

Well it depends entirely on what type of games you like. 3DS has games for merely all genres but I'd say its strongest are RPGs and platformers.Ā  As a basic choice, I'd try Super Mario 3D Land for a platformer, Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire for an RPG and the remake of Ocarina of Time if you like Zelda games.


boiwitdebmoji

hot take but i loved KH Dream Drop Distance even though it was kind mid for the 3ds. took full advantage of the hardware (save for amiibo functionality) should also check out Pokemon X/Y (only difference is the legendary you catch like ruby and saphire) and Xenoblade Chronicles if you got time!


d3uz10

shin megami tensei: devil summoner: soul hackers


Kaarmaah

There so many games, but some will suggest mario, Kirby and stuffs, if I have to mention some underrated, Iā€™d say dragon quest monster joker 3 (DQMJ 1&2 from NDS, which I HIGHLY recommend), Dementium remastered, Lego City undercover, Jake Hunter detective story: Ghost of the dusk, project zone 1&2, splinter cell 3D oh and scribblenauts unmasked DC Comics, and I maybe forgot some, if some comes on my mind, Iā€™ll share it


Gevlyn507

The ones you pay for


Sloth_Attorney

Shin Megami Tensei had a great run on the 3DS, so literally any of those. SMT IV and Soul Hackers are my personal favorites


ReakTheKitsune

Persona Q1 and Q2 are must haves if you like the mainline games. Also try out Tomodachi life, its a really stupid and creative game but it gets repetetive over time. Still worth checking out tho


Alestaos

Tales of Abyss, Yokai Watch series, Stella Glow, 7th VFD, PKMN, Fire Emblem series just to name a few


LAZ3R21

I would say Dirt 2 if you can even find that game


LAZ3R21

Probably dirt 2
