I was out shopping for the wife and kids, and I've been on the fence about the 3DS. I was thinking the 3D was going to be a gigantic gimmick. I got random bits of play here and there on demo's, but most were trashed.

Well, I got a chance to see Starfox 3D, and WOW!! I have SF64, have since it was new. It's one of my favorite games, but this thing is SPECTACULAR in 3D! Why wasn't this used to sell the system?

Anyhow, aside from Mariokart and Super mario, what else do you recommend? I'll probably get Pilotwings as well, just because I loved the old ones.

I should add, I also own a 3D Android phone, the LG Thrill. It was cool for the first couple weeks, but I honestly haven't used it in months. I don't see the 3DS having that issue if they get some good games.

Samurai Warrior Chronicles looks great in 3D. I'd suggest that.

Ds Games!

Some of the earlier games are quite cheap now on amazon and they're worth picking up at those prices. One game that was worth an even higher price is shadow wars, which is real cheap now. Ocarina of Time was great, and Bit Trip Saga is a lot of fun if you like those types of games. Street Fighter and Dead or Alive are both great fighting games, and both resident evil games are great although I think a lot of people won't be playing mercenaries as much any more.

Nano Assault and Tetris Axis are two games I would highly recommend for the 3ds they both can be picked pretty cheaply.

I Like Games.

If you like turn based strategy games, Ghost Recon Shadow Wars is a must have, tons of fun lots of strategy.

I find the 3D in Sonic Generations to be pretty good, and if you are a fan of the Sonic Rush games on DS its a must have.

Shinobi is a game with lackaluster 3D but it makes up for it in its challenging gameplay. Difficulty can be turned down if its too much for you to handle, but its classic 2D sidescrolling goodness.

Cave Story 3D is a must have, loving that game!

Well, the overtime is finally done, so I have time to play with this thing FINALLY!!

So far, I've picked up Pilotwings in addition to Starfox. PW is fantastic for a quick-play kind of game.

We're going shopping today for a few more titles. Mario World, MarioKart, and Zelda are on the list. If I can find them, i'll pick up Shinobi, Cave Story, and Street Fighter as well.

I'm not really sure about Zelda myself, since I have it on 64, but the wife wants it. Always good to make the wife happy!

I should add, so far I LOVE this thing! I was hooked on my DSi, but I gave it to my son when his sister tried to feed his to the dog and broke it. I was back and forth about getting another DSi instead of the 3DS, but the 3DS won. Honestly, I'm very happy with it. Even with the 3D off, the screen is gorgeous, and it just feels good in my hands.

The only part I regret is not waiting 2 more days. I bought mine, and then Gamestop put them on sale for $149. Walmart won't do price matching. Oh well.

Buy Resident Evil Revelations. It's best looking 3DS game right now.
