3DS games

Hello.

I got a 3DS for Christmas (even though I'm 34) and I need help deciding which games to buy for it. Does anyone actually own a 3DS and if so, do you have any recommendations?

In terms of what I've got:

Pokémon Alpha Sapphire - I like Pokémon games. This one was good.

Super Mario 3D Land - Terrific stuff, although I've not played much of it up to now.

Legend of Zelda - Link Between Worlds - Sensational. For a 30+ year old this is absolute nostalgia that is also terrific to play. I just completed it last night (although I've still got a few things to do) and I loved every minute of it.

Naturally I'm going to buy Mario Kart at some point but what else should I play?

Thoughts appreciated.

Must haves i feel are Street Fighter, Zelda Mask of time, well all the zelda games except the last is supposed to be excellent (the last is good but its a coop game first). But you have so much choice and dont be afraid to consider some DS titles also. Dr Layton titles from DS are pretty cool.

Ocarina of time

But Majoras mask is also good

And you should be able to find lots used and really cheap, so go digging in those bargin bins!

I'm wary about getting Ocarina of Time because of how much I loved it when it was originally released. I don't want to ruin that memory.

I'm tempted by Majora's Mask though, although I didn't really play it when it first came out.

*because I didn't really play it

The 3D effect is good although it can get slightly put off when someone is looking over your shoulder. I think the machine "locks on" to your face so if someone else is there it can make the 3D go a bit "off". You do have the option of switching it off though.

Do you have the 'New' 3DS or the older one?

The 'New' 3DS assuming its the standard size one has snes style coloured buttons and customisable face plates. That’s the one I've got. Pretty good system.

I only bought the 3DS so I could play Ocarina of Time and Majoras Mask once again...love the classic N64 Zelda games. They did a pretty amazing job remastering them too. The graphics look great for a handheld. A Link Between Worlds is also very good game.

I have no idea, I'll look at it tonight.

It did let me take a picture of myself and turn it into a Mii.

I was not impressed with the results though. I always imagined my Mii to be more handsome.

Bravely Default is a throw back to old Final Fantasy games if that's your kind of thing.

Xenoblade chronicles is a good jrpg, the sequel is out on the wii U.

Fire emblem games as stated, also the monster hunter games are good.
