  1. So far I am loving Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked.

    I missed out on it back on the original DS and I'm glad it made a return for the 3DS 😀

  2. The whole reason I bought it: Ghost Recon: Shadow Warrior.

    I saw "By the maker of X-Com" and the decision was already made. (I really liked the GBA game he made, too.)

  3. Resident Evil Mercenaries 3d. Haters suck! This game rocks and offers online and local co-op play as well as several missions besides the original RE4 and RE5 mercs maps. The controls respond beautifully, the 3d looks great, and the difficulty cranks way up at the end. This game was designed with "hardcore" gamers in mind and does not disappoint. Avoid biased review sites and dive into REmercs3D. I can't get enough of this game and love playing online with an out of town friend currently fighting cancer. It's nice to at least see him digitally when I can't make the trip to visit.

  4. Face Raiders.

    As far as cartridges go, though, it's a tie between Pilotwings and Street Fighter.

  5. I really SSF IV 3D, and Ridge Racer. I also have BlazBlue but not really fan of it. I got it thinking it might be better than Guilty Gear, but it's the same with differnt characters. :-/

  6. Heh, other than a Zelda game? Well, if you count the Ambassador games, then I'd say Metroid is the best 3DS games, but if you're talking 3DS specific, I've enjoyed Find Mii the most. If you're talking about 3DS retail release… I don't know for sure. I really want to get Resident Evil Mercenaries now that you can get it for $20, but I haven't actually played it… so I guess I have to say Street Fighter IV, seeing as that's the only game other than Ocarina of Time that I actually own.

  7. I guess Steel Diver. That's the only game that I bought that's not Ocarina of Time or an old gameboy game.

  8. Super Street Fighter IV 3D. Of course, that's the only non Ocarina of Time 3DS game I own, so it's not as if I have a lot of choice.

  9. So im not going to say im particularly partial to ANY of the 3DS launch games. pretty much lack luster however i will place the game here that i have played the most; Pilot Wings. I never played it as a kid and i have clocked up 30+ hours on it. For a game on a hand-held that is pretty good i reckon, apart from a pokemon game.
    And yes i never finished my copy of OOT 3D, got bored/busy. =holiday job.

  10. Dead or Alive Dimensions
    When people say the 3DS has no games I point to this one. It's awesome

  11. with out using the zelda title ocarina of time :p:
    That's the only game besides spirit tracks that I got and yes I'm bored out of my mind only thing I'm looking forward to is skyward swords.
    I don't like spirit tracks because of the sword usage I can't see my screen so I die more than necessary.
    If you'r hand covers up the entire screen your playing on how the heck are you supposed to play the game I only can see the outer edge of the screen when I'm swing my sword.
    And if you got asthma your screwed like me.
    Sorry for the rant but I brought up some bad memories that ticked me off.

  12. Really?!

    No one voted for (or maybe even played?) my favorite 3DS game, even surpassing OoT?!

    Dream Trigger 3D, of course!

    It's….well….think Child of Eden or Rez.

  13. I've played many: Street Fighter, Ridge Racer, Shadow Wars, Nintendogs+cats, Pilotwings, Steel Diver…but the one that has gobbled up more of my playing time than any other is a simple rental I got: Bust-a-Move Universe. The game is a little unpolished and adds absolutely NOTHING new to a familiar formula (unless 3D visuals count…nah!), but it's got that tried-and-true gameplay that somehow keeps me playing. Is this sad or what? Games, Nintendo, games!

  14. I really, really love Pilotwings. I would've loved it even more if there were new islands/locales to explore, but as it is, I've spent so much time playing it and replaying it. I also am really fond of how Street Fighter turned out. I've definitely spent more time with download software so far, though, as well as the StreetPass Mii Plaza.
