Thinking of picking up a 3DS XL

Recommended Posts

I reaching that point in life where I can't sit for long stretches of time and just play on my PC, but have tons of free time outside of the house.

I'm thinking of picking up a 3DS... buuuuut, I'm not sure what games I'm going to get out of it. Of course there's Monster Hunter coming out next month, but what else?

 

Help me choose a game to start with:

 

Ocarina of Time- never played a Zelda game before. :P

Fire Emblem- havent touched a JRPG in a decade lol. Looks interesting though.

Harvest Moon-not sure what to expect here.

 

Or just buy Civ5/Total War/Sim City and suck it up?

I bought a 3ds and the only thing I've ever played on it was Pokemon gold. I never even played any of the free games they gave out After the price drop. Hand held gaming just isn't my thing lol

Psvita, there is a gran turismo coming out for it, lol although no price drop for the vita yet. Sigh only in japan for some reason, bad marketing maybe, it strikes again.

A handheld just needs one game that grabs you. I have a PSP and although I have 10 or so good games for it the only game I really played on it was Ridge Racers 2. That game grabbed me and did not let go (and is the reason I get pissed off every time I see RR: Unbounded. What a screw up that is). The PSP is pretty much broken due to age and heavy use now but I still miss RR2.

 

So don't so much look at the number of games that are good but find the game(s) that makes you want to buy a 3DS. The kind of game that if you saw it at the store you'd want to buy a 3DS right there on the spot just to play it. Else there is no point in buying a handheld and you'd be better off buying a nice pc game or two instead.

Thing with Fire Emblem... Don't die, ever. If a character dies, reload.
