Sure, it's ditched game-specific friend codes, and you can now play Mario Kart against strangers online, but compared to home consoles the 3DS is still lacking real online functionality. Fortunately, Square Enix has stepped in to show the Japanese giant how it can be done on the stereoscopic 3D handheld"
App Trigger: "It's almost 2018. The Nintendo Switch has surpassed the Wii U's sales in Japan and is going on a year old. Its voice chat stinks, but Nintendo needn’t look far for a fix."
I can’t take Nintendo’s online efforts seriously when it lacks basic universal standard functionalities such as this
The 3DS has an extensive library of games, but due to the consoles low sales initially, a lot of great games flew under the radar of most gamers. Fear not though, as Shawn Long of Nintendo Enthusiast takes a look at some under appreciated 3DS releases from the earlier years of it’s life that you should be sure to check out. Whether you enjoy a good platformer, fighting game, or 3D adventure, there should be something for every 3DS owner to consider in this video.
Good choices. I didn't know the 3DS version of Sonic Gen had different levels than the console versions.

Those titles were Theatrythm, Kingdom Hearts 3D and Heroes of Ruin. Sadly, every family has it’s black sheep, and the latter title proved to be the degenerate of this bunch.
Developed by n-Space, this action RPG showed so much promise. It’s graphics and playstyle led many of us to believe that this was going to be something of a pocket World of Warcraft. Sadly the game fell far short. Yes you can play 4-player both online and off (which was rare in those days), and even talk to other players online using the 3DS microphone".
