3DS first picks: Top 5 launch games worth playing

Recommending launch titles is tricky. The 3DS is still fresh from the oven, and there will be bugs and fixes galore before the year is out. Not to mention the system’s long-term success and full potential is still a ways off from being realized.

But what we can do is look at the list of titles that launched with the 3DS and hopefully narrow down a list of good buys. So if you’re stuck playing your old DS games on your new 3DS, then this list will try to give you an idea of what games to consider to break in Nintendo’s new doodad.
