I will download these from the internet illegally
Not technically illegal anymore if they don’t supply the games
w, me too

Nintendo would like to know your location.
The eShop might be closing but the hShop isn't! Thank God for the modding scene. They keep consoles alive long after the manufacturer stops caring.
Does the hShop have every game that is available in the Eshop?
@@MTG69pretty sure, I've not had any issues finding games on there. They have all dlc too.
@@hellohaveagooddayhshop definitely doesn’t have every 3ds cia but they do have a lot, at least a few thousand
@@myckull3820 They have every game that matters
@@Grayest_Fox no they don’t, they’re missing like every Pokémon main game literally only mystery dungeon is on hshop but I get what you mean yeah
Real video title "OVER 60 MUST PIRATE 3DS GAMES FOR YOUR HOMEBREW 3DS"
over 60 reasons to unlock your 3ds
One game? Fantasy Life. Always fun to go back to, and so many chill vibes for hours. Grab the DLC before it's gone.
One that is criminally overlooked is Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX. Loads of songs, great rhythm game, and you get cake on your birthday!
Phenomenal recommendations!
Fantasy Life is definitely the best 3ds game for me. Played it to hell and back, just chill amazing fun.
iI just wanna tradution patch for Super Robot Wars BX to play as Hatsune Miku in a giant robot.
Sadly the dlc is basically the wrap up of the story. It doesn’t end until the dlc is finished so not getting it before the e shop closed will be awful for new players.
Bravely Default 1 on the 3DS will forever be the hidden gem of the system.
It was such a fantastic return to form for classical JRPGs with by far the best art style and soundtrack of any 3DS game by a mile. It's a shame that the sequels haven't been able to recapture its magic
yea i know what you mean like ported the second game but not the first at all.
It’s not a hidden gem, it was heavily marketed, getting multiple sequels.
People played it, they just thought it was mid. Which it was
Hidden gem? Bravely is one of the most well known games on 3ds
A really great list here! I love seeing you gush about Radiant Historia and Strange Journey Redux! A few other games I think that would also be right at home here are Tales of the Abyss, Dragon Quest 7, and Rune Factory 4. I know you can play them all elsewhere but I think games just hit different on the 3DS
Great recommendations and so happy another SMT SJ fan is watching! I gotta pickup Rune Factory 4 and DQ7. I just recently got Abyss and excited to play it!
Great games, though id argue that RF4 is way better on switch with the new weddingmodes.
Unles they are currently on sale.. i saw some harvest moon etc on sale until closure. Not Sure if RF was included
Nintendo needs to remaster Samus Returns and the 3DS Fire Emblem games because of all the dlc in them
100% needs to happen.
@@HallowedBeThyGame Onviously Atlus needs to do more remasters as well but they really need a bigger team 🗿
They can do that after Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn 😌
@@haisex3 I mean Etrian is getting 3 games on Switch so... here's hoping
@@VentusFury Not getting a physical release in north america unfortunately
Playing Etrian Odyssey Untold now and it is so thrilling I can't get enough. You know that feeling when you're on edge of your seat and feeling the heat? I love the dungeon puzzles, TP management and strategy to be had here! 10/10
EOU is underrated but I agree, they’re great games worth playing, one of my favorites on the 3DS
@@EveryOneisSomebody yeah.. the 3rd Stratum 13th floor is flooring me and I really love it. Challenging me to think more and strategize. I rarely have this kind of moments 😂
I love the look of the 3rd stratum, cause blue, and the puzzle elements are pretty fun to figure out too, for me especially once I can chart the floor out on the map and navigate it a bit easier; feels satisfying to see it fill up!
You gonna get the Switch Collection later I’ve got mine pre ordered 😀
I'm compelled to give you a like. Etrian Odyssey is my favorite Rpg series.
A BIG game that I always recommend to people is Warioware Gold. The game has the most microgames in the series and brings back microgames from the original, Touched, and Twisted as well. It's also one of the only games where Charles Martinet gets to do full voice acting for Wario. The game has voice acting for EVERYTHING and I wish Nintendo would do this more often outside of just Fire Emblem
Watching these videos are fun and sad at the same time. It always reminds me of how many games I want to play and then increases my backlog x100
Awe haha well I’m happy you have fun with them!
Appreciate you! About to brave the crowd at Walmart before a snow storm hits our area tomorrow. At least I can listen to your coverage of my favorite handheld ever!!
Oh gosh! Goodluck! Hope you stay safe!
thaaaaaaank youuuuu! i have been googling for rpgs on 3ds and your video was the best one to serve me rpgs i never knew i needed!
best 3DS game list i’ve seen thank you guys🙌🏼
Been a blast watching your channel in the last couple years of the 3DS. Thanks for putting so many games on my radar.
Glad to hear it!
Thank you for the compilation video! So many great games for the 3DS!
Glad you enjoyed! 3DS rocks!
Literally watching 50 of these videos to jack up my homebrew 3DS (mostly just gba/gbc/nds games so far) and ONE GAME IN I'm finding interesting games (Sadame) with great aesthetics I had never heard of in the last 6 hours of watching these videos, good job bro!
Hope you enjoy it!
@@HallowedBeThyGame Do you have this kind of video for other nin-handhelds? ds/gba? I literally walked away downloading crimson shroud/code name steam/LBX and sadame by the end of this one video
This is an AMAZING video, I just got a New 3DS LL and Im having a blast. What a wonderful TRUE handheld. The JRPG Titles are just amazing. Thanks for sharing! I will save this video in my bookmarks to make sure I add this gems to my backlog 😍
Congratulations! And thanks so much for watching!
Stella Glow!! I'm glad to see someone finally talk about that game!! I still haven't finished it myself, but I am having lots of fun with it
So happy you are having fun with it! Incredible game
Do not panic buy. Hacking your 3DS has never been simpler.
Great list still got the rest of the month to grab some of these lovely games. I'd recommend focusing on the ones you can't get decently priced physical copies of if you can't afford everything you want in one go.
Hope you keep 3ds videos coming or updates thanks for the video
Oh we definitely will! Glad you enjoyed the video!
I subbed. I am going through some major FOMO with the e shop closing this month, as I imagine most gamers are. Thanks for the content, I added a bunch of your jrpg recommendations to my maybe-buy list. I have 9 days essentially to grab everything I can afford/want on the e shop.
I’m really glad that you included Stella Glow. I absolutely love that game!
It's so good!
I saw the rec of Stella glow on one of your different videos and managed to get a physical copy of it. I'm excited to give it a shot cause it looks pretty good!
Your channel has been such a treat since I found it, love the community focused vibe of em. Definitely a few in here I’ll be trying to pick up. But I hate myself, and I hate my wallet. So I’ll be looking for a physical copy 😅
I’m the same way… haha but so happy you found the channel and some games that caught your eye!
Great list! So many awesome games and I'm glad I at least own most of what I want to own.
Thanks! The physical game market is gonna be nightmare fuel for a hot minute I assume. Happy I got most of what I wanted too lol
Currently playing Radiant Historia as I was watching this, and wondered why it wasn't mentioned.
Then, it was mentioned! Great suggestions, more on my list. Thanks!!
That's awesome you are playing Radiant Historia! I need to play through it again soon. Thanks for watching!
yea and that remake of the ds version 3ds is super great
Just picked up Sadame finally after you’ve recommended it before! So many outstanding picks that I nodded my head in agreement to as well! Also, heck yes about Nano Assault! No one mentions that game sadly, but is a banger! Ironfall is one I’ve contemplated getting, and may get it now after hearing your thoughts. While one of your longest episodes to date, anything shorter would’ve do it justice. Thanks for covering this amazing selection of games to nab now!
Hey man! I'm so happy to hear you picked up Sadame! I'd love to hear your thoughts on it when you can get to it. (random aside but I'm currently making my way through Metroid Prime Remaster and loving it. Just got the Gravity Suit) Ironfall Invasion is just so unique for a 3D/Gears of War experience. It's such an oddity but man I loved it haha. Have a great week man!
@@HallowedBeThyGame Glad to hear you’re loving Metroid Prime Remastered man! I’ll definitely let you know what I think of Sadame when I try it! Ironfall Invasion looks unique and very impressive, so I’m sold! Thanks again man!
@@GameCubeGalaxyyou never told him what you thought you tease
The most important games to get are
999 (ds/eshop), virtues last reward (3ds) and zero time Dilemma (3ds)
This series has the best mindfking Story mixed with great puzzles.
Anyone should play the zero escape series IN ORDER.
Ofc you can still pick it up on PC, ps4 etc. Just play it
They got ported to xbox as well. The first two games are even on Game Pass. However, they are about to be taken off soon, so now's a good time to play them for free/cheap.
Excellent video brother! Ever Oasis is fantastic. I don’t remember how it came to my attention, but man it’s great. There are so many great games here. Thanks for continuing to pileup my backlog bro… lol
Cheers!
Thank you so much for watching! I’m so happy you enjoyed the list. Ever Oasis is so phenomenal!
Ironfall is new to me and I'll be downloading it later today. Kirby Planet Robobot has been on my list for quite a while but I was waiting for the price to go now (ha!).
I'm not much for JRPGs but I appreciate the video! Thanks!
Yo-kai Watch is such a necessary inclusion for this list. It runs excellently and really show what the 3DS is capable of. Each title expands so much on the last without completely changing the setting.
My opinion on the franchise is:
1 is perfect, my favourite game on the system, period.
2 is worse, but still very very good.
3 is between 1 and 2.
@@SLEEP873 I'd say 1 is my favorite game too, but that's more for personal reasons like nostalgia than anything. I think 2 is objectively a better game, though, given how many features and dimensions it adds to the gameplay and the way that is leans into the series's themes and style. 3 is a really fun game with tons of content, but I don't think it does as good of a job following the themes and style of the series.
great list! found some new games to check out thank you
Glad you enjoyed!
Great video, brother. As always. As for your question to pick just one game … it is VERY VERY difficult because there are a lot of good and great games on the 3DS. However, if I had to pick just one it’ll have to be Radiant Historia Perfect Chronology. To be fair I haven’t played every 3DS game but for my tastes it’d have to be Radiant Historia.
Great minds think alike! Thanks so much for watching and so happy another Radiant Historia fan is watching!
There's a good handful of these games that are available for massive discounts right now. Of note, Capcom is having a fire sale and a lot of titles are available for about $3. Hoping other developers take note and follow suit. I picked up Shantae and the Pirate's Curse, Phoenix Wright Trilogy, MH 4 Ultimate, and RE Revelations for about $20 total yesterday. If other companies catch on, it could be a GLORIOUS final two weeks!
Thanks for the heads up!
I just bought an New 3DS LL and it came with over 300 games! A solid 150 or so are all AAA RPG Games and as such, I will be Faithfully trying out Radiant Historia Perfect Chronology as it is one of the games that came on it!!!!
As well as the Persona Labryinth games! I have never played these games and so I am very excited to Dive in!!!
Awesome Video Great List of games!!
Rock on! Have a blast! Happy you enjoyed the list 🤘
I loved Stella Glow, I played the demo and instantly knew I needed the full game!
yes and if you mod your 3ds you can get stella glow and you play the luminous arc series for the DS with twilight menu that it's also a series about the hero helping witches but sadly the 3rd isn't fully tranlased for the luminous arc games:(
Im a day one 3ds fan. Ive probably owned 7+ 3ds consoles. This list is fantastic! Im definitely checking a couple out you have mentioned. Ty for sharing a list! ❤
Rock on! OG fan in the comments! So happy you could find a couple to catch your eye, enjoy!
I started playing Fantasy Life three days ago and I was also avoiding the game for a long time. You also have to play he's super cute and fun the world is vast and full of resources and the places you explored before become more and more interesting when you change lives, a single cave can have a different exploration approach for a miner a hunter or an alchemist.
Great video, found your channel recently while looking for some stuff to look up or pick up now that the eshop is closing, and i ended up watching a bunch of videos, love your work and efforts.
Id like to recommend "Chase: Cold Case Investigations - Distant Memories" a game made by the developers of Another Code, Hotel Dusk and Last Window (All three on the old DS and very recommended games too),made years after the closure of their studio, under the wings of a new one, niche and atmosferic title where you play as a pair of detectives, interrogate suspects and investigate crime scenes.
Also Inazuma Eleven games, theres a few, and just like Yo Kai watch, are games that on first glance are for a younger audience, but are a very solid experience for anyone who pick it up and enjoy it, football games with a lot of characters that you can train and level up, with their own unique skills, etc.
So happy you enjoy the channel! And some phenomenal recommendations I hadn’t heard of. Tysm!
Kyle Hyde is the man, and deserves another game.
@@MTG69 Hopefully Arc system will someday look back on the saga and do something with it, not high hopes tho, Chase: Cold Case was kinda a spiritual succesor and the sales where not great so that could mean they bench it for years to come, sadly.
These 3DS videos is actually how I found out about this channel a whole year ago while I was looking for lists of 3DS games I was missing a bit before the eshop closes and glad I did because what a fantastic handheld system I'm glad to have since 2011 and hopefully at least pick up Legend of Legacy as my last major title since Dragon Quest 8's port and Yo-Kai Watch 3 are just near too high for me to get. Ones I would recommend for you and others that were not on this list that everyone should try at least are Metroid Prime Federation Force,Inazuma Eleven,Kirby Triple Deluxe,Gurumin 3D,Rayman 3D and Rayman Origins,Rhythm Thief and Hatsune Miku Project Mirai DX for rhythm game fun,Batman Arkham Origins Blackgate,Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D,the majority of the Yoshi games on there,Puzzle and Dragons z + P&D Super Mario Edition,Castlevania Lords of Shadow Mirror of Fate,Tales of the Abyss 3DS, and any of the mainline Pokemon titles along with the Mystery Dungeon spinoffs.
So happy you found the channel and tysm for reminding me about Federation Force! So many bangers you have shouted out here!
No problem man and glad to be following your content! I also just remembered Dragon Quest 7 3DS, Warioware Gold, and Ultimate NES Remix that I completely forgot to put in my previous post. lol
Very good choice of the number
Just watched this and have to point out that I am a huge Yokai Watch fan. I have loved the franchise ever since the first entry, there's so much to adore about them. If I had to pick a favorite one I would say 3, mainly due to the amount of content packed within one game. Although both 1 and the three entries for 2 are incredibly solid as well. I am hoping that with Level-5's return to the States that we will see something else with this series. A great one to pick up if you are fans of collect-a-thons!
Piggy backing off my other comment, also a huge fan of picross as well. I have played tons on the switch but I started playing them on the 3ds. Great games, If I had to choose a favorite I would pick the Pokemon Picross one especially because of the unique feature pokemon tie into the puzzle mechanic. Not only that, but it is free as well!
yea and if you mod your 3ds then you can all 3 games from the yokai watch series.
I bought SMT Strange Journey Redux a few years ago and it's still sitting in my backlog for some reason, so thanks for reminding me it exists. Also, I remember only being convinced to buy it when I heard the Japanese voice actress for the chick with the red hoodie going ham in the trailer lol!
I bought it for a steal £60 last year ebay.
So many great 3DS games. Didn't quite reach the heights of the DS library but I absolutely loved this system. Kid Icarus was probably my favorite game all around but part of that was because of the wonderful multi-player mode. Even without, it's an easy recommendation as the single player campaign is phenomenal and very replayable.
I completely agree, both are just titans of gaming to me but the DS is something friggin else.
yea,but it's hard to play at time cuz the weird controls.
I got into Etrian Odyssey V as an intro to the series and absolutely love it. Mid way playing it, that's when I bought the previous series and as they came out, I definitely bought the new ones. Such an addicting game and it uses both screens very well in my opinion. I'd totally recommend buying it for those wanting to experiencing the 3ds.
Granted, I didn't truly beat the secret boss, but I easily put in over 200 hours in that game alone.
I gotta say really digging the Etrian Odyssey music in the background
It's so good!
Heroes of Ruin is a great game to have if you like dungeon crawlers, but it is shallow. I was amazed at the clarity of the mic function and that it is one of the very few Nintendo 3DS that actually use the mic in the game.
I believe the game supports up to three players offline/online and is similar to the Untold Legends series that first appeared on the SONY PSP.
Correction!
All Fire Emblem DLC is still available for all games, but can only be purchased within the games themselves. In Awakening, it's through the Outrealm gate. In Fates, it's through the Dragon gate. And in Echoes, it's managed through the menu in the world map. So if you haven't gotten any DLC you want yet, then quickly do so.
That is fucking stupid.
So helpful! 🥰
Glad it was helpful!
thx for the recommendation.
Playing on the 3ds since 2016 and here I put my SMT list:
1. Devil Survivor Overclocked
2. Strange Journey Redux
3. SMT IV or apocalypse (basically it depends what you prefer story or gameplay or if you're a beginner in this type of game)
4. Devil Survivor Record Breaker
5. Soul Hackers.
If you could only buy one game in the end depends on your favorite genre.
omg,i like the new devil survivor games and the second game that got remade made think can't belive they also a gender swap of one the main characters too lol
Yo Kai Watch mention!! Yippee!! YKW3, 4, and Blasters are my favorites. 4 isn’t a part of this list since it’s on the switch but it was so fun! Highly recommend this series to everyone.
LBX! I bought that day one and had nobody to geek out with me about it. I love lbx and it's so under the radar!
Awe man I hate that feeling
I've actually been playing SMT 4 and Apocalypse, I'm really enjoying the games a lot. They're super fun
I don't see anyone talking about the incredibly addictive Pocket Card Jockey. It's solitaire meets horse racing, which sounds like it shouldn't work, but it absolutely does!
Sounds sick!
I haven't really touched Final Fantasy Explorers in a while now, but I remember having fun with it with 2 of my friends on Multiplayer. If you're the type of person who enjoys games like Phantasy Star Online or Monster Hunter, be sure to give this a look; especially if you can rope a few friends into playing it with you.
thank you for this video. i cant wait to BUY all of these games from the STORE
Damn this list is like legit complete
You named the more well known “hidden” gems like Radiant Historia but you also mentioned genuinely unknown fantastic titles like Culdcept. Literally the only person I know who mentioned Culdcept Revolt.
I also enjoyed LBX, 7th Dragon, and basically all the stuff on your list.
But hey there’s always more!
Dillon’s Dead Heat Breakers for example.
Thanks for shouting out Dillon's Dead Heat Breakers! Glad you enjoyed the list, and the 3DS is a treasure trove of quality. So many!
@@HallowedBeThyGame thank you for making such a fantastic and definitive video!
@@MadDragonify Haha wow thank you so much!
It's so wild how many exclusives the 3DS has! Having just dusted mine off to play MonHun4U and Etrian Odyssey 4 recently, this video makes me regret not using it more!
Great video. Loved seeing all the games now I have a couple more to add to my list. I bought a 3DS when the Pokémon X/Y XL came out. I love the console it is great. I'd recommend Monster Hunter Stories the game is great. Also Pokémon X/Y, Ruby and Sapphire remakes. If anyone wants Pokémon Sun and Moon just get Ultra Sun/Moon since it expands the original story. Hyrule Warriors is great if you like Musou games. Lastly Dragon Quest VII is also good. It has some great changes over the PS1 version.
That's awesome! I have got to pickup Hyrule Warriors on 3DS and DQVII. Thanks for the reminder and watching!
Looking back, 2016 mightve been my favorite year for 3DS games. Gunvolt 2, 7th Dragon VFD, Project X Zone 2 and Dragon Ball Fusions. Good times man
My absolute must play for my friend would be the BoxBoy series. charming little puzzle game with a cute story.
Thanks for the heads up, I need to check this one out!
The fact that we are getting Etrian Odyssey 1 to 3 on Switch and Steam gives me hope we might get the other games as well.
As for a single game recommendation? Hmmm, difficult, but maybe 7th Dragon III. I really like Etrian Odyssey, but it's not as accessible and Stella Glow does have some *ahem* innuendo.
Also, I'm quite happy, I have many of the games on this list!
You mentioned Monster Hunter 4U, but don't sleep on 3U either. Great game, with things not done in any other title - like Underwater combat. One of the best of the "old school" titles. Capcom had a sale a couple weeks ago, so might not be another - but totally worth it even at full price ($20).
3u is my all time favourite mh 🤍
It's such a shame that the eShop is closing. I got mostly the ones I want, a few I'll have to get lucky finding physicals as just don't have enough money right now to buy the rest right now. Glad you mentioned Yo-Kai Watch. I don't have the Blasters games, but I have the 3 main ones on 3DS (and playing through 4++ on PS4, wish that one would get localized). Such a great series. I would also recommend Rhythm Thief & the Emperor's Treasure if you enjoy rhythm games. The physical for it goes for $200+ as you can get the digital one on the eShop before it closes for $20 (in Canada at least)
Great recommendation, thanks for sharing!
My favourite 3DS game is Fire Emblem: Shadows of Valentia. Such a great story and gameplay. Also there were some free DLCs which helped a lot for late/post game content because they included free pitchforks (Mila's Bounty 2, 4, and 5). Make sure to grab them this weekend!
i'm relatively new to the 3ds as of some time ago last year! because originally, i mostly just wanted to pick up the newer ace attorney games after finishing the mainline trilogy (rip) but now i'm going a little crazy with stockpiling before the eshop is gone lol.
i highly recommend shovel knight: treasure trove! it's a true gem, tons of replayability imo, good upgrade system, character gender customization (neutral pronouns included), those charming 8-bit graphics, catchy soundtrack, interesting story, fun boss fights, challenging platforming, etc. plus, as of now, it's dirt cheap ($3 on the eshop i believe). you really can't go wrong!
Daemon x machina is from old armoured core game devs. If you loved that play the armoured core series then. Plus there is mechwarrior and other mech games like front mission with huge customisation. Also glad you covered LBx it's heavily underrated and overlooked
Like A more tactical Zone of the Enders
I absolutely love how you mentioned yokai watch it's an amazing series in my opinion. Now the question is what is your favorite yokai?
Yokai watch is so good. Also, it's the only game that I ran into an Easter egg that I can't find online.
Im so glad you mentioned radiant historia because that one and gunvolt are god teir games. But you're missing out on steam world heist. Its a really fun game with good music too.
20 must haves + 40 jrpgs
i kid, thanks for the list! this video must’ve taken forever to edit
Glad you enjoyed!
real happy to see azure striker gunvolt mentioned, its such an underrated gem tbh
I agree! So good
Lovely video
Thanks!
A gem I really love is the Dillons series
They are a fun mix of action combat and tower defense games in great western soundtrack!
Really fun gameplay and it always keeps you on the edge sometimes with how close some battles go
They were made for the 3ds and will be probably gone for good
A fair warning tho, in dillon dead heat breakers is a bug that crashes your game if you have a pending friend request!
So better watch out for that
PS:
I'm really glad you put Liberation maiden on the list! Its my first ever game I played on the 3ds
Excellent recommendation and thanks for the warning! So happy another Liberation Maiden fan is watching!
I own many of these games. Some physically, the rest digitally. And thanks to this, I may as well make a few more purchases just for the sake of it.
Hey awesome! Have fun!
Love the video, highly recommend Dragon Quest VII.
I’m sad I missed out on this one, thanks for the reminder!
I don't know if it's been said, but regarding Fire Emblem: Fates... I have Conquest physical, and I just now purchased both Birthright and Revelations through the in-game menu, so while it may not be on the eShop, definitely still available to purchase. Just wanted to clarify!
I believe if you only want to purchase them digitally, then your out of luck. Having a physical copy of one of the paths, allows you to buy the others digitally still.
@@MTG69 True enough, or if you have a pre-existing digital copy of one of them, then the same would apply to purchase the others.
Radiant Historia is incredible. That's all that really needs to be said on the matter. The story, gameplay, music, world... just incredible. My absolute favourite 3DS game will always be Zelda A Link Between Worlds though. It's just my comfort game these days, I try and do a 100 percent run every year or two. It just looks so beautiful on the console, especially with 3D on, it's one of the few games I actually play in 3D. Other than that, Virtues Last Reward is incredibly good too (though it can be played on PC, and probably other consoles now, and was on the Vita alongside the 3DS). I'm so sad that the end of the line is finally here for the DS systems, but at least we have been left with an incredible selection of games to enjoy for the rest of our lives. I'll never forget the memories I made playing games like these throughout my childhood.
3DS really has a great library of games that unfortunately may never get a port, and even if some did, you still wouldn’t get the same experience as they were intended to due to factors such as the dual screen functionality or the 3D effect. So yeah, for those who could, you should get these games while you can.
Also, here’s some of my own recommendations:
Resident Evil Revelations
- While there are HD ports on modern consoles, I’d still recommend the 3DS version as the 3D effect looks great and adds a lot to the atmosphere of the game. It’s also a technical marvel they could make such a gorgeous looking game for the 3DS and at least worth a collection in my opinion. I’m quite surprised it’s not on the list here.
Dead or Alive Dimensions
- A solid entry for the series on the portable console that keeps both the visuals and gameplay very faithful with its own exclusive story mode, retelling the saga to let people catch up to the latest games. The gameplay is very tight and smooth in 60 fps, however it reduces to 30 fps with the 3D on (but it makes the game look WAYYY better for me). The only downside is the exclusion of newer characters and the almost unplayable, laggy online. But hey, at this point you’re not gonna be going online anymore.
Street Fighter 4
- Another fighting game that needs no introduction. If you like SF, you’re gonna like this, it’s the SF4 that we know and love on-the-go with some interesting but ultimately rather gimmicky game mode to make use of the 3D effects.
Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance
- Another game that I’m surprised is not on here! This game was made to fully utilise the 3DS’s capabilities and does it well. The gameplay is fun like most KH games, the visual is fantastic and makes great use of the 3D effects. Dual screen and touch functionalities are also used for a very natural interaction such as bonding with your summoned creatures. I can’t recommend this enough!
StarFox 64 3D
- It’s the good ol’ StarFox but with better graphics and in 3D. Need I say more?
Also, the ONE game that makes the 3DS worthwhile for me is Monster Hunter 4. At one point, I didn’t buy any new games for the 3DS and only played MH4 for over a year. XD
Some fantastic recommendations here
One game I highly recommend is Dementium Remastered. If you love first person survival horror games, it's a must own. Same with Moon Chronicles.
Quality shoutouts! Thanks for sharing!
to sum up, if you are a JRPG fan a 3DS is a must have. I love the recommendations!
I agree! Haha
Had a 3DS since the early days and still have a New 3DS XL (Majoras mask edition) and actually just downloaded a few games before the e-shop closes even though the Switch has been my prefered handheld the last 6 years. Gonna play Metroid Samus Returns, the original Luigis mansion remake and Prof. Layton x Phoenix Wright game. For those who like puzzle games, I can recommend the Box Boy games, which will forever be gone soon!
Nice! Thanks for shouting out Box Boy games
For the just one game thing, it's super dependent on who we're talking about. Like I've gotten so much out of the style boutique/ style savvy games myself, but that obviously isn't for everyone. For JRPGs I still really enjoy bravely default and for a cozy game I think new leaf is even better than new horizons in a lot of aspects. But for the one thing that no other consoles can replace, because a lot these have sequels and ports and the like, I have to go for the streetpass plaza mini games. (With all of them unlocked) Streetpassing all sorts of people and getting to put them in different mini games is something that no other console can do and I'm so glad it's a system that isnt dependent on the online servers so that it wont be shut down.
Excellent recommendation and really sad Nintendo didn’t do a street pass with switch. 3ds is so amazing
The true boss of strange journey absolutely crushed me, I actually didn't finish it fully because I wasn't prepared to go and grind out a max level party and play the debuffing game that it seemed to demand!
That said, it's a close runner, alongside V, for my favourite megaten game
Yeah it is just such a commitment. SMTV is just phenomenal and I still think the best combat in turn based games.
oh,yea never played that game after how huge some of the dugeon maps could get in the game.
I've never played the Etrian Odyssey games before, but they look exciting to me.
I would definitely recommend Dragon Quest 7. It's an amazing remake of the original Playstation game.
Hope you enjoy EO! And I've gotta pickup DQ7, thanks for shouting it out!
The Dillon trilogy is also fun on the 3DS worth picking up before the shop closes as it's eshop only
same with the pushmo games
They look so fun, thanks for the reminder to check these out!
@@HallowedBeThyGame yeah it's two nintendo franchises we are losing I hope they do more games with them is odd how they made a few new series to never leave the 3ds
I would recommend ff explorers, the endgame sorta falls apart as a bit meh, but it is a pretty fun experience up to then. It is basically a final fantasy themed monsterhunter, and the ability evolution system is really interesting.
Echoing other comments below that the Fantasy Life DLC adds a lottt of post-game content & it's an eShop exclusive !! Highly recommend if you like the base game or are interested in it even a little
Couldn't agree more, incredible game!
There are a lot of great games on the 3DS and I need to still pick up some of them, which will probably become expensive soon because I'm going the physical route. All of the SMT games on the 3DS are essential and SMT IV is one of the greatest games in the series and one of my absolute favorite games of all time. A lot of people seem to have a negative opinion about SMT IV Apocalypse and while it is an awkward companion to the masterpiece that is SMT IV, it's still a game that has a lot of charm and that I love. The tone is kind of weird because it involves characters that seem like they would fit better into Persona games being placed into a scenario from a mainline SMT game. Still, this game has some unique qualities that have some appeal.
While humor isn't absent from other SMT games, it is much more present in this game and it actually works really well. The side quest with Maruo, Mara, and the cult of Maruology is one of the most hilarious things I have seen in a video game and the scene where an angel tells Asahi that she looks like a "tarted-up clown" for wearing makeup is an amusing reference to the Book of Enoch, which portrays fallen angels teaching human women to use makeup to beautify themselves. If you just appreciate SMT IV Apocalypse for what it is instead of expecting it to live up to the excellence of SMT IV, there is plenty to be found there that is enjoyable.
And Apocalypse gave us the sacred and cultured maruology! Haha. Thanks so much for watching and I agree SMT IV Apoc is definitely a hard tonal shift and SMT IV is literally one of the greatest video games ever made but I can't help but love Nanashi lol. Also I gotta say I didn't know that about the Book of Enoch, fascinating! Thanks a ton for sharing those quality little shoutouts that go missed.
Had my 2DS for 4 months now Just downloaded my last two 3ds digital games, Radiant Historia PC, and Yo Kai watch 3, I'm trying to beat Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright ASAP for the sake of the free dlc, and I'm very lucky to buy a Physical Fire Emblem fates game for a decent price due to my 32 gb non modded 2ds. Glad to experience a generation that I totally missed out on.
Congrats on the pickups! 3DS was such a beast
I'm going to go on anabsolute TANGENT with this comment. My love for Fantasy Life goes beyond the game itself. Let's start at the beginning. The year was 2015, and my brother and I went down to visit some family, one member being our incredibly chill uncle. I forgot the exact details but my brother ended up with my uncle's black 3DS XL and a bunch of games like: Harvest Moon, Pokemon X, Ironfall Invasion, Mariokart 7, and of course: VLevels' "Fantasy Life". Like a lot of games my brother got me into, I wanted to stick to my games and my tastes but upon his insistance, I tried out Fantasy Life and was immediately hooked by all the Life options and character customization. The story sealed the deal for me and I was stuck on the game for a solid year. The game means so much to me and not just for the game itself but all the memories centered around it. Sometime soon, my brother will go off to college and leave me at home for 3 years (because he's 3 years older than me). I'm always going to remember this game and how happy it's made me. I can't wait for the next Fantasy Life.
Very good list.
I'll throw some more of my own picks in there:
The Pushmo series - I love these games with beautiful pixel art and puzzle solving to reach the flag and win the level.
The Box Boy series - These beautiful box puzzle games from HAL (makers of Kirby) are really cute and can get quite tricky.
Siesta Fiesta - This is a neat game about bouncing your character like a pinball to get a high score and reach the end of each level.
Sakura Samurai Art of the Sword - This is a fun little game where you have to time your attacks to dodge the enemy and deal damage as a samurai girl.
The Mysterious Murasame Castle - The 3DS Virtual Console is the first and thus far only time this NES game has been rereleased. It's basically Zelda 1 but in feudal Japan with a bigger focus on action.
Summer Carnival '92 Recca - A hard as hell NES shoot 'em that was released in English speaking countries for the first time on 3DS Virtual Console.
Harmoknight - A great rhythm platformer made by GameFreak. There are even some Pokémon songs included.
For a game made by GameFreak I don’t hear harmoknight be talked about nearly enough, but it really is a great game with charming visuals and gameplay
Solid list. I bought myself a the SNES New 3DS and got 60 games. Should last me a long time.
Heck ya, you're all set!
Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
It took me while but I finished it, great video and games to buy. I think I can afford fire emblem awakening and 7th dragon code
You have picked some absolute bangers! Have a blast and I can't wait to hear what you think of them!
Ok, thankfully I know about all of these and have already bought all the ones that I wanted (around 80% of the list).
Great list but I really wish you would specify which games are digital only and which are also available in physical form.
About Etrian Odyssey, they ARE confirmed to be ported in Nintendo Switch, well, some of them. Some are still stuck on their gaming hardware they released on
