NINTENDO 3DS

I hadn't even heard of the samurai Kunio, but from what I understand the collection is pretty comprehensive so if it came out on NES it should be on there

ok i checked and it IS on there. man i hope this comes out here

to the great surprise of nobody, Kirby: Planet Robobot is pretty great. I'm only a couple of worlds in, but so far it's at least as good as Triple Deluxe (which also rules).

From a few years back: http://www.usgamer.net/articles/the-emergent-heartbreak-of-tomodachi-life#

I played through the demo for Miitopia (the Tomodachi Life RPG) in one sitting; that game appears to be extremely my shit.

I already picked up Radiant Historia - haven't played any of these though. I'm surprised the SMT IV games haven't been ported to Switch already

I picked up a 3DS XL recently. Hacked it and have been dumping 3DS, DS, and GBA game on it. Lovely, fun little device.

I mostly just wanted it to play Dragon Quest 8, but there really is a wealth of other great stuff in those libraries to explore. I’ve kinda scoured the “best games for _____” lists, but if anyone has any good recs I’m all ears.

any preferred genres?

Not particularly. I picked up a bunch of Mario, Castlevania, and Metroid stuff, always a safe bet. Got some DQ games, Fire Emblem, Shin Megami Tensei 4, even some Pokémon. I suppose I should just take the time to just read through this thread too. Just curious if anyone had any in particular that stuck out for them.

OK some less obvious 3DS games off the top of my head:
Pocket Card Jockey - very addictive card based horse racing game, made by Pokemon people
Fantasy Life - Level 5 action RPG, has become a cult hit and a Switch sequel finally got announced recently
Ever Oasis - a Nintendo published action adventure game that somehow passed everyone by
NES Remix - kind of like a Warioware game that takes NES games and mashes them up for quick challenges
Attack of the Friday Monsters - really charming adventure game made by the "My Summer Vacation" guy. explore a small town in 1970s Japan as a kid, play card games, investigate giant kaiju footprints on the edge of town etc. makes you nostalgic for a childhood you never had.

could go on for hours about the incredible weirdness that can be found in the DS library, almost rivals the PS2 for the amount of creative madness that went on

i second the ^ pocket card jockey & attack of the friday monsters recs
assuming you have FBI running, it's pretty straight forward to find a QR for mother 3
kid icarus: uprising is good fun
sega arcade classics and things like 3d outrun are worth an install
inazuma eleven is a high school soccer rpg
dillon's dead heat breakers is a lot of things mixed together in a fun weird way
on the DS bangai-o spirits is something to behold, i mean again i'm repeating what zappi says but there's a ton of great DS games

I'm just finishing Devil survivor 2,both of those games are decent smt x tactics games, not mind blowing but solid

thanks all! will be checking all these out. it is kind of a crazy library, 3DS, DS, and GBA all together, figured there had to be plenty of off-the-beaten-track titles worth exploring.

not to derail but zappi, i'd love to hear your DS recommendations

I'll do one later! was thinking a lot last night about the DS library before falling asleep: playing stuff like Ouendan, Trauma Center, Layton etc for the first time and how amazing that was. also Bangai-O Spirits is a good shout, forgot about that one

also just checked and no one has done a translation patch for the Mushishi DS game ;_;
