People Share What Games Sold Them On The 3DS

thegamer.com:

The 3DS was the end of Nintendo's last handheld chapter, closing the dual screens for good as it moved onto the Switch, but fans are looking back at its end and what sold them on the console, what games hooked them enough to buy one.

A common comment is Pokemon X & Y, one of Nintendo's flagship series—if you asked the same for Switch, you'd no doubt hear plenty of people saying Let's Go, Arceus, Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl, and Sword & Shield. Others chimed in with Sun & Moon, Black & White, and Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire. But interestingly enough, one of the more popular choices of games is Fire Emblem Awakening.

Another threw Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance into the mix, writing, "I'm one of those weirdos who bought consoles specifically to play the Kingdom Hearts side games. Worth it though cause they're dope and the 3DS is a banger." Someone reassured them in the replies, "Eh, not any weirder than buying a 3DS to play the Skylanders side games (which I did)."

Animal Crossing: New Leaf was of course another common choice, as well as the 3DS version of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. But to dig deeper into the obscure and less-likely choices, some mentioned Rayman DS, Street Pass, Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology, Face Raiders, Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion, Megaman Legends 3, Metal Gear, and Fantasy Life.

There are also plenty of nods to Monster Hunter, Super Mario Bros., Shin Megami Tensei IV, Dark Moon, Miitopia, and Mario Maker—the amount of different and varied choices shows just how extensive and diverse the 3DS' catalogue of games was, whether you wanted a hallmark RPG, a platformer, or something more relaxing
