Paste Magazine looks at 2013's best games for the 3DS and Vita.
The Nintendo 3DS' The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds is now 10 years old, yet remains a remarkable experience.
Calling this classic feels so weird to me. It's still the newest game in the old style... hope they make another one.
I would love a remake of Link to the Past, one in a similar vain to Link's Awakening.
it was an awesome game and utilized the 3D very well on the 3DS. A Link to the Past is one of my favorite Zelda games, so this one being a true sequel to that title really hit home with me.
Video game sequels like Assassin's Creed Origins, Doom (2016), and Fire Emblem Awakening were just what these franchises needed to be revitalized.
Lmao what’s Halo Infinite doing on this list?
Who would ever say Halo Infinite saved the Halo franchise
Thought the same - very bizarre!
RE7 though... my God, what a shift over RE6! That franchise was definitely going in the wrong direction, so RE7 was a welcome return to form.
Resi 6 was and still is the worst entry in the series.
7 was a great turnaround, despite people’s concerned about the switch to FP perspective.
DMC5 definitely helped the franchise after the whole DmC debacle. Whilst it was a decent action game, it was a far cry from the series and the characters we knew.
AC Origins is my favourite in the entire AC series. Despite the switch to a more RPG style of gameplay - the setting, soundtrack, length, etc were all amazing. sadly followed up by the ridiculously long and “more of the same” Odsyssey.
I don’t feel it’s fair to say the franchise slipped with Doom 3, Doom 3 was incredibly atmospheric and took the game in a different direction but there’s no denying Doom (2016) was sensational.
Halo 4 & 5 were disappointing but Halo Infinite definitely didn’t save the franchise? What?
I'm going to have to go with SMB 3. I was around when SMB 2 first came out and people hated it. 3 is still arguably the best mario game created.
"Halo Infinite"? Worse Halo ever. Whoever made this list just lost all credibility.
In future lists of a similar nature I have a suspicion Final Fantasy XVI will feature.
Even if the eShop has now closed down, the best 3DS games are still worth playing — in any way you can get your hands on them.
Where is Killzone: Mercenary? this game deserves it
I wouldn't put Animal Crossing over Link Between Worlds, but all solid games on that list.
For me this year its gonna be
Best 3ds game: Fire Emblem: Awakening
Best Vita game: Tearaway
Fire Emblem: Awakening at #6 is a bit shocking that is my #1 game this year.
No Killzone? No Ys? Not even the hidden gem that is Malicious Rebirth?
Yet there's Spelunky, Hotline Miami, Luigi's Mansion and Mario & Luigi Dream Team? Or rather if you're allowing multiplats, no Dragons Crown?
There have been far more deserving games this year, my friend.
