gonna be recieving my 3ds xl within this month which has bravely default pre installed and 70 dollar eshop giftcard

planning to grab fire emblem and resident evil revelations as part of my first time on the 3ds experience games but id like some suggestions...

im not the type of person that can actually afford games on a monthly basis so knowing games with longevity will be nice

and please dont suggest animal crossing to me unless it really is a good game


............... i love harvestmoon games too but too many to choose ffrom

I really enjoyed Pokemon x myself and there's also ocarina of time as well

well it is a really good game ^^

stuff that hasn't been mentionned:

Donkey kong country returns 3d
Mario 3d land
Mario kart 7 (so much fun, nearing 250 hours on this one)
Etrian odyssey games (haven't played any of them but I heard good things)
Kid icarus uprising (this one is love it or hate it from what i've seen)
Kingdom heards 3d
Ton of lego games (always ok games, lego city chase begins might be a good choice but idk how much it ressembles Lego city undercover, which was pretty great)
Luigi's mansion 2 (fun single player, cool online multi aswell)
Mario and Luigi: dream team ( I wants this one pretty bad actually! )
Mario golf/tennis (always good sports games)
Metal gear solid snake eater 3d (remake)
Monster hunter 3
Monster hunter 4 (coming soon )
New super mario bros. 2
Phoenix wright: dual destinies
Phoenix wright: trilogy (collection of the first 3 games)
Pokemon alpha sapphire (remake)
Prof layton games (they are fun from what i've heard, never played em)
Project X zone (strategy rpg, not as fleshed out as fire emblem but completely insane)
Rayman origins (port)
Rayman 64 (remake)
Shin megami tensei: devil survivor overclocked (fucking love this one, SRPG like fire emblem, story is amazing)
Sonic generations (didn't play it, it's sanic)
Sonic lost world (sanic)
Theatrhythm (final fantasy music, rhythm game)
Tomodachi life (whacky life sim, like, real whacky)
Virtue's last reward (should play 999 first, story is fucking mind blowing )



Those are only games which i have played or which interest me at least a bit.
Don't forget your 3ds can play ds games aswell!

Longevity?

Etrian Odyssey IV
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate

Spent around 100 hours on Etrian Odyssey
Spent around 450 hours on Monster Hunter

Lol I'm at 900 hours on my Pokemon x atm

animal crossing is probably the only must have game on 3ds IMO


especially if u like harvest moon

so I'll be getting fire emblem for sure since ive been playing the gba ones on my phone and i absolutely love how the game works. animal crossing is officially off my ignore list now and the first zelda game i will actually finish (played 2 of the previous ones on the previous consoles but other games just took my attention too fast) would be wind waker or ocarina of time. i still have a heartgold (ds game) so poke x and y can probably wait....


heard good things about etrian but im confused on which one i should get

i already finished the ds version of smt so that overclocked thing will be on muh backlogs

whats the best way to enjoy my 3ds? theres just so many games to choose from and since i never watch trailers and gameplay vids or read reviews for games im gonna be getting, its gonna be tough to know in which order i should get each game

will probably buy all non shovelware games (buying shovelknight so dont use the freakin pun)

so a list of games to get would be godly advice. with a "first play this then that" order

forgot to add that id also like to see a "not available in europe as of now" list so i can annoy the shit out of my friend that unkowingly got a european 3ds

were both americans living in the "proud" country of pilipinas!

will update on what his reactions are once i get at least 2 amazing non euro games

European 3ds shop has Pokemon trading card game I'm pretty sure
