Nintendo’s latest handheld the 3DS has a ton of great games. With the StreetPass functionality and new expansions added to the Nintendo Network, the variety of titles are the biggest draw for anyone looking to own a 3DS. Yet there are a select few titles that bring out the best in the handheld. Here is a rundown of ten games that any 3DS owner will want to own in their collection.
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
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.
After becoming acquainted with the colorful cast of adults in Fire Emblem Awakening, the story soon turns into a tale of time travel involving the children of all these characters.
Are these the best Fire Emblem first-gen characters? Fire Emblem Awakening is not only filled with tactical battles and intense strategizing, but also colorful characters who sometimes fit into this medieval world and sometimes seem better suited to a slice-of-life anime.
The Mario games and Zelda are the only good ones on here.
Dream Drop Distance was an amazing game. It's one of the best Kingdom Hearts games in my opinion. Flowmotion was tons of fun.
And of course Ocarina of Time 3D was a great game. It's a remake of my favorite game of all time. They did a great job with the remake on the 3DS.
I have Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on the Wii U and it's a great game. My friend has it on 3DS and it performs almost as well on the 3DS. Great game.
One game I wish made the list was Tales of the Abyss. While it is another remake, I had a lot of fun playing this game. It was my first Tales game. The story was amazing and I really enjoyed the battle system. I wish it could have made the list, but a great list anyways.
Kid Icarus is aight but can be frustrating...they really need to change their ground combat system to have combos and blocks
Nano Assault is a must!!! Ace Combat is also very impressive on the 3DS!
