Anyone else think there isnt enough good games on 3DS? The only good games that would be worth getting is Pokemon XY, Pokemon ORAS, Animal Crossing NL, and Tomodachi Life. I see no point in getting Mario Kart 7, Super Mario 3D Land, and NSMB2 because I already have Mario Kart 8, Super Mario 3D World, and NSMBU. Just in general, it seems that the 3DS lacks good games.

But... But Kid Icarus: Uprising! INCONCIEVEABLE!

Here's my list of my most recommended 3DS games (no order) BESIDES the ones you listed and Smash, which have equivalents, plus Donkey Kong Country Returns, Rayman Origins, SteamWorld and Shovel Knight, which can be played on the Wii U as well:

• Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure (Completely different from, and in several respects better than, the other versions of the game)
  
• Kid Icarus: Uprising
  
• The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D (Remake of an N64 game? Yes. Still really damn good? Yes.)
  
• Luigi's Mansion 2
  
• Mario & Luigi: Dream Team
  
• Fire Emblem: Awakening
  
• The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
  
• Kirby Triple Deluxe
  
• Mutant Mudds
  
• Gunman Clive
  
• Pushblox/Pullblox

I think you could remove OoT3D from this list because it's on the Wii VC, but I'm not sure. I think there was a Pushblox/Pullblox game for the Wii U, but I'm not sure on that, either. Still, not a bad list.
There's Monster Hunter and Professor Layton if you're interested in those. And everyone seems to love Mighty Switch Force, although I didn't care for it. Apparently Cave Story is also really good, but I haven't played it. Star Fox 64 3D is incredibly fun, but also woefully short. Gunman Clive is even shorter but only costs $2, and it's a well made game, so it's worth it for that price. Fantasy Life is another enjoyable game.

Those games are good, im sure, but here is why i wouldnt want them.

Pushblox/Pullbloxthinking about getting pushmo world on Wii U


But yeah there are many equivalents of 3DS games on wii u so i think that is the main problem.

Agreed the Wii U has equivalents for a lot of the 3DS games, but the 3DS still has its fair share of games the Wii U will never get or have an equivalent to. If those games don't spark your interest, it's not nessicarily that they're bad, it's just that your preferences don't really line up with what's available.

Right. theyre just not for me, although sometimes im a little tempted with animal crossing new leaf, but then i come to realise its not worth it for a few games and that most likely animal crossing will release on Wii U.

i would recommend Epic Mickey 3DS and Super Smash bros for 3DS if...you dont have it already.....

Nope. That's just your opinion.

Many great games are out there, just don't go directly for all first-party games.

yep i guess the 3DS isnt for me.

Kid Icarus: Uprising

Ugh, no. Just... no. KI:U is not unhateable.

Also, Smash Brothers is a really good one if you want something for twitch gameplay.

play zelda fool

Kid Icarus: Uprising, Fire Emblem: Awakening and Super Smash Bros. beg to differ!

The nice thing about these games being on different systems is that they all bring a unique experience that's different from other games in the series. Yeah, OoT3D and Starfox3D are the same games, but these games being on one system each gives them that sense of being unique from the rest of the games in their franchises. Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon is a much different experience than the original Luigi's Mansion. Kirby Triple Deluxe uses special gameplay mechanics that other Kirby games don't. Fire Emblem: Awakening does things that no other Fire Emblem game has done before. In other words, each game refines and evolves the series like a good franchise should. Even the new Smash bros, which is essentially the same game on two different systems, has different gamemodes, stages, etc, on each version to make it feel unique on that particular system. If i'm not mistaken, the last time Nintendo released the same exact game for different platforms was The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. and even then, the Wii version at least had motion controls, unlike the Gamecube version.

With this in mind, I think the 3DS has an amazing library of games on it, and it's the obvious reason why i think it's the best console to own out there. But hey, i guess it isn't for everyone. i can see the argument of similar games being on the Wii U and 3DS. :/ Though that probably just makes it even more worth it to get a Wii U.

Animal crossing new leaf.

If you don't have interest in first party games from Nintendo, then yeah maybe the 3DS lacks games. But Nintendo games are frequently among the best the system has to offer, and is the major sticking point that makes the 3DS a more compelling buy than the Vita (Vita has pretty much no support from Sony anymore).

Even still, both handhelds suffer from nearly nonexistent Western third party support and it's a real shame.

No i dont think all games are like this though. But u dont understand why you thought this.

thats like your opinion man

Hey, I have yet to see a good 3D platformer on the iPhone. The only one that I can think of is Bugdom 2.
