So I'm debating on whether or not I should get myself a 3DS or a PS Vita.

If I were to get a 3DS what 4 games would you say are must haves? Looking to research some games to see what system I should go with.

Can't choose 4 here's a list of games i liked or am interested in

Animal crossing: new leaf
Donkey kong country returns 3d
Fire Emblem: Awakening
Mario 3d land
Mario kart 7 (so much fun, nearing 250 hours on this one)
Kid icarus uprising (this one is love it or hate it from what i've seen)
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)
Monster hunter 4 (coming soon )
Phoenix wright: dual destinies
Phoenix wright: trilogy (collection of the first 3 games)
Pokemon alpha sapphire (remake)
Pokemon x or y
Shin megami tensei: devil survivor overclocked (love this one, SRPG like fire emblem, story is amazing)
Super Smash Bros. 4 3ds
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 )

Sweet! Thanks. Ill definitely look into these games. I know super smash is gonna be awesome for sure

Just wait 2015 there will be the new 3ds with xenoblade chronicles

Thanks, I was actually thinking about just waiting as well. Christmas seasons here so there will probably be a price cut soon. And most likely a price cut in 2015

pokemon x and y
Mario kart
smash bros
fantasy life
super Mario bros
legend Zelda oot

I have 3ds and vita and think 3ds has a much better line up. But vita definitely is the better console in terms of design and graphics.


There is a "new 3ds" in the works that is pretty much the same but with an added second analog stick and slightly better graphics, might want to hold off and wait on that.

completely forgot fantasy life it's pretty great

The 3DS has some awesome RPGs if you're into that.

Any of the Etrian Odyssey games are great.
Pokemon games are all good.
Shin Megami Tensei games are all sweet.

Probably 1000+hours if you're into rpgs

Mario Kart 7
Super Smash Brothers
Pokemon Alpha Sapphire/Omega Ruby/X or Y
Kid Icarus: Uprising
