Can anyone recommend a good game to start of a 3DS collection?

jacobvogel3831d ago

Fire Emblem: Awakening
Never seen this game go on sale lately.

Bimkoblerutso3831d ago (Edited 3831d ago )

Super Mario 3D Land is sort of the defining 3DS experience, as far as I'm concerned. There are games that I actually like a little better, but there is no game on the system that takes better advantage of the technology.

...plus it's just a damn fun game.

TekoIie3831d ago (Edited 3831d ago )

Animal Crossing is good and can keep you occupied for hundreds of hours if your into that. Watch some reviews to see if it's something you would enjoy before buying though.

If you want something challenging I'd highly recommend Donkey Kong: Country returns 3D.

Or if your just looking for something that's got a pure fun gameplay formula I'd go with Luigi's Mansion 2 :)

Of course the other obvious game is Pokemon X/Y which can least damn near a 1000 hours.

Is 2DS still available at Frys for $109.99? Also what is better buying 3DS for $149.99 or 2DS for $109.99?

Bimkoblerutso3831d ago

The 2DS is literally just a less portable version of the 3DS without the 3D. If you can swing the extra 40 bucks, then I definitely would. I'm not going to say that the 3D is ever ESSENTIAL, but it really does enhance the games on the system that were designed to take advantage of it.

Target Confirms PS5 Consoles Will Drop to Just $450 This Weekend

PlayStation 5 consoles will once again drop to just $449.99 on August 6 in the US.

fr0sty263d ago

Sony's going for the jugular.

crazyCoconuts263d ago

Strike hardest when the enemy is weak

darthv72263d ago

the price drop should be $100 (at least) for that... haha

fr0sty263d ago

@darth the sales numbers in the UK, where this price cut has already been implemented, strongly disagree with you.

seanpitt23263d ago

Have you guys heard yourself!

darthv72263d ago

sorry frosty... I thought this was in the US.

InUrFoxHole263d ago

No. They are going for off loading before the slim. I'd save my $ till then. Unless that kinda thing doesn't matter to you.

That's November..

This is for kids on summer holidays

Not everywhere is hot and sunny like California, some kids, need things to do when it's raining/cold and this, is it.

anast263d ago

They going to bury Xbox. Xbox will turn around and justify the mobile/streaming shift.

fr0sty263d ago (Edited 263d ago )

They already are burying Xbox... this is just another nail in that coffin. Sony put the hammer away and busted out the nail gun.

purple101263d ago

Its airline too .not even battery powered. They are going full Bosch on M$ ass

fr0sty263d ago

Like "oh, you wanna buy up a bunch of publishers with the expressed intent of putting us out of business? Hey y'all, watch this! Hold my Dual Sense..."

neutralgamer1992263d ago

i believe they want as many gamers to buy PS5 as possible because once someone buys into the ecysystem they are a lot less likely to leave for another platform

Eonjay263d ago

Will be interesting to see if Amazon takes the bait.

jznrpg263d ago

They usually match other places so I wouldn’t be surprised

ChasterMies263d ago

This is how Sony goes for the jugular. Microsoft can’t afford to make games exclusive if it doesn’t have any marketshare. Also clear that the discless PS5 will be the single PS5 going forward and the disc drive will be an add-on. When the $300 PS5 slim launches, the hot sales of PS5 will go super nova. (Don’t feel like you need to wait. On an annual cost basis, you may be better off getting a $400-$450 PS5 that you can use now versus waiting for a console that will be obsolete sooner.)

Ryuk_2007263d ago

"Microsoft can’t afford to make games exclusive if it doesn’t have any marketshare".

Sheesh, and here I thought M$ had a monopoly on the gaming market. Sony owing most of the market means it'll be easier for M$ to buy publishers to compete lol

InUrFoxHole263d ago

Stand by my boy. Digging up this goal post. Pardon while I write my new narrative.

EasilyTheBest262d ago

Looking forward to when Microsoft drops the price of the Xbox Series X & the comments will be that Microsoft are desperate lolol

Magatsuhi263d ago

I'll just wait for a sale on Best Buy or Amazon. F target!

Making Pokémon 3D Was A Mistake

Pokémon’s shift to 3D was a big mistake, as the series’ roots in 2D design make it difficult to transfer important game mechanics into a 3D overworld.

why do other games pull off 3D monster collecting JRPG games just fine? Look at Jade Cocoon and Shin Megami Tensei for examples.

FallenAngel1984495d ago

Answer should be obvious.

No other videogame franchise is as merchandise driven as Pokémon

Nintendo 3DS Games We Still Love Playing Even Today

BLG writes: "While it didn’t sell as well as the Nintendo DS, the Nintendo 3DS was nonetheless a wonderful system. And, while this may be a hot take, it’s easily my favorite handheld. Even more than a decade removed from launch, the system’s library has so many titles that feel as fresh today as they did back at release. While it was hard to narrow down, these 30 Nintendo 3DS games are emblematic of the system’s success."
