"Invited to attend a board game night on a whim, being put in charge of activity selection can be a headache in itself. Unless this is a repeat gathering and you're familiar with the tastes and experience of each guest, you may just end up bringing bags full of options to try and compensate for the range in demographics and psychographics. How much easier it is when you can condense your load with a dedicated, all-in-one set. Granted, these often consist of two-player excursions (Checkers and Chess being the most popular), but the point still stands that these are very appealing to have in your game library." -- Wiiloveit.com
DHGF: 3D Game Collection is a collection of purportedly 55 games that anyone aged 3 years and up can enjoy. The game’s design is definitely geared more toward children; however, an adult could find him- or herself devoting time to the game as well. There are help screens which do a decent enough job of explaining most of the games for anyone who isn’t familiar with them or who don’t understand how this game has changed the original games up from their real-life counterparts. So really, anyone should be able to pick it up. But does it stand out as an exemplar of casual games? My answer: no, especially not for six dollars.
NWR: The 3D Game Collection is not bad, with a good amount of games for its asking price. However, the game fails to stand out in a crowd of much better software.
Nintendo Life: Casual appeal and touch-screen controls have made Nintendo's recent handheld systems a perfect fit for digital collections of traditional games and puzzles, and that's the niche in which the rather generically named 3D Game Collection sits comfortably. With 25 games from Backgammon to Battleship, Solitaire to slide puzzles, there's plenty to keep fans of truly old-school gaming occupied, but inconsistent execution, a few duds, and an uninspired presentation keep this compilation from being as classic as the games it's based on.
