Super Mario 3D Land is one of the best Mario games of all time, it's amazing.

[Digi.k]

Has one of the deepest and most relaxing games ever created.

Animal Crossing New Leaf.  Been playing this daily for a few good years.







my NEW 3DS XL

Thanks medic. You reminded me of contact I meant to get AGES ago.
Goky I have the animal crossing new 3ds not xl.
The Zelda remakes are well worth a go. A link between worlds is hmmm. So so. It's ok, left me wanting a bit tho. It's quite easy. I also have loads of shit Pokémon games in the house that are nothing to do with me.

I often think of my favorite Mario game ever and this is arguably it, which conversely means it is one of my favorite games of all-time too.  If you are a platforming fan, a playthrough is required.

Agreed there, though I wish you could skip through some of the text and cinemas (like when you take the boat to the island, etc)

BTW, where did you get that 30 year pin?

I still hate the DS hardware.
I love the library, the touchscreen is nice, and outside of the hinge, it's pretty damned durable.

BUT.
I can't play any game that requires me to hold the system like a normal person for more than 30 minutes.
when I had one, i stuck to the phoenix wright/professor layton type games mostly.
but I can't justify having the system just for that.

is there a model that's more ergonomic for people like me? (those of us with giant meat hooks)

It was a promo give away for those who went to demo stations for the Mario maker event hosted by Best Buy at various locations. Now a days eBay. But it's a cheap eBay item for like $20. There is also a gold metal looking pin but thats a little more and not sure how that was given out.

I sold my 3DS awhile back to pay for my X68000, which of course was a great investment, but now I'm starting to miss my 3DS. I've been listening to a lot of the mega64 podcast, and on one episode they said selling games at times may be ok (though arguably still bad) but selling your consoles is stupid. You'll probably want it again and then you're just paying for two.

I liked the Mario 3D land a lot and the Zelda LBW game was really great. The game I miss the most though is Animal Crossing. It's so much fun and once I stopped playing everyday, I would feel guilty for coming back after a few days or a week. It was bad, haha.

I'm sort of tempted to get the "new" 3DS for Xenoblade, and of course Animal Crossing. Sometimes I would go through a stretch of time where I wasn't into it, but overall it's a great handheld.

My favourite DS game to play is Touch Dic.

[TheClash603]

Anyone else really enjoy the Street Pass games?  I wish I had more people to pass, because the Street Pass games are some of the most addictive on the system.

I've been playing Dragon Quest VII on 3DS. It's fantastic.

[Medic_wheat]

I picked up "New Leaf" for my wife thinking she would love it. As I greatly enjoyed the GC game.


She didn't "get it" and found it boring.


However I get her a copy of Luigi Manson for the 3DS and she loves it.

Came packaged alongside my new 3ds when I ordered it directly from the nintendo store.

The only reason I own a DS is for Contra 4.  I'm really not a handheld fan.
