20 BEST Nintendo 3DS Games of All Time

[@aidenthe420]

Not me with a modded 3ds tryna figure out what to play 😂I haven’t touched this thing in years

[@BrysonGauff]

Spent the last 4 hours getting my 3DS modded and downloading. I am ready.

[@dresarcade8074]

Not me with my android looking for games to play lol

[@angelmihaylov6888]

Hahaha, it's terrible having all the games just a few clicks away. It makes it nearly impossible to choose what to play next.

[@turismofoegaming8806]

Same here!!! Got all the good Games on my 3DS LL & I have to say, I love it and play quite often?! Playing Dragon Quest VIII & some others on me 3DS.. Playing a bunch of other stuff on other devices too..😊

[@War-Cry]

The Shin Megami Tensei IV segment is showing footage for Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse, which is a completely separate game.

[@mezomoza7]

1. Donkey Kong Country Returns 3DS 2. Zelda Link between Worlds 3. Metroid Samus Returns

[@EmmsReality]

Based. DKCR is one of the best side scrolling platformers ever made.

[@Jonny312.]

I think tropical freeze is better personally but both are incredible games

[@al-jadardammang3763]

Best thing about 3ds is Zelda Ocarina of Time

[@msanchez1680d]

Ditto

Nah persona q for me

[@ap3montes739]

What about Smash Bros? It was great to have it on the go for the first time

[@REAL_Red_Pikmin]

Thank you so much and it’s nice since it’s VERY similar to smash ultimate (besides less characters and less maps)

[@cormacisawesome]

Violently unwell? Oh yeah, I remember the Virtual Boy.

[@iBMcFly]

Great video EDIT-precise detailed explanations that include reasoning which justifies each respective game’s position in the rankings.

[@Edikafrfx]

No smash or monster hunter?? Also ultra sun/moon over Oras is crazy to me

[@MackenziePerrault]

Sun and moon are literally the worst Pokemon games ever made. Good call on the monster hunter too, generations would probably be my vote. Or 4.

[@gridlocked4174]

@@MackenziePerraultThe worst. I admit, sun and moon are bad, but usum are pretty good and my favorite games, and even without my bias, I wouldn’t say they’re the worst, because that belongs to sv. But I will say, as a mh4u fan, they should’ve put it on.

[@yuhdig1777]

Bruh sun and moon are original while Ora’s is a remake 😅 plus sun and moon sold more……

[@armand4116]

I'm glad you include Shin Megami Tensei IV , in my opinion the best jrpg on the 3DS , but the footage shown is from Shin Megami Tensei IV apocalypse .

[@philipquaglino]

just picked up a new 3ds xl to have. while 3d is niche...no other console will offer such an experience. Its dead tech with solid games.

[@denji94]

Perfect for when im pirating games on my 3DS

[@Amber_xo_133]

5. Zelda MM 3D 4. Tetris Ultimate 3. Kingdom Hearts DDD 2. Resident Evil Revelations 1. Zelda OOT 3D

[@darkstalker696]

I personally put fire embelm echoes over fire emblem awakening.

[@turismofoegaming8806]

I always have to put resident evil revelations within a top 20 3DS best list, just for the simple fact of how good that game looks on the 3DS!!! It's a surprisingly good game also, even if the 3DS might be the worst version to play at this point?

[@trickerdgaming]

You got number one and two correct IMO

[@robsmart993]

I was never violently unwell. it wasn't exactly bonelab, just a nice 3d effect. Am I the only one who loved it? Am I the only one who doesn't want an IPS display on my GBC/GBA? I have a dawning realisation that the answer might be yes.

[@NicolasFORCET]

Yes :)

[@ciuffoarancione8929]

Kid Icarus was great but controls on ground levels were really bad... With good controls should have been a masterpiece..

[@austindenko3575]

like. I get gunstar heros is great. but its a genesis game. etrian odysseys, ever oasis, fantasy life, smash bros. just so many unique 3ds-only games missed here.

[@MackenziePerrault]

Great list: but im convinced that anyone who puts Pokemon Sun and Moon on their "best of" list have not actually played them. They are far and away the worst mainline pokemon games ever released. The ruby and saphire remakes should take their spot on this list without question.

[@3dsmodding]

agreed

[@jiraiya0698]

Finally nsmb2 gets some love, it's a great game

[@CadenMHolmes]

All the nsmb games are great, there just rated lowly because of the unoriginality

[@gabetafoya3936]

I know that people speak really highly of A Link Between Worlds, but I found it incredibly boring. I hated not feeling a sense of progression. You can go to any dungeon at any time as long you rent the right items. I really missed finding a new item in a dungeon and the unique puzzles related to that item then using that item to open up more of the world. It felt too open for me. Same reason why I have no interest in the two open world Zelda games (or any other open world game for that matter).

[@GhibliNova]

My top ten would be Xenoblade Chronicles Metroid Samus Returns Pokemon ORAS (Series) Zelda Majoras Mask (Series) Smash Bros Bravely Default (Both) Monster Hunter Stories DKCR 3D Radiant Historia Tales of the Abyss Fire Emblem Awakening (Series)

[@worldsboss]

Lot of great stuff on your list, but I specifically want to credit you for Tales of The Abyss. I know that wasn’t originally a 3DS game, but I freaking loved playing it on that system. Great game!

[@jearNL]

I really really love pokemon ultra moon

[@fredyjacobchoxommartinez2584]

somehow I barely remind smash bros for 3ds definitely it isnt one of most beloved smash games in its franchise but was necessary besides I agreed with other games such as shovel knight was a grateful experience even though its an indie game and with zelda yeah why not?? a link between worlds it has a lot of new concepts mixed up with nostalgia and yeah btw a link to the past its my favorite one xd your top its alright actually I have no so much complains but for me metroid should have been higher that other games to be honest

[@harperthejay]

omg Link Between Worlds gets the win! That's exciting as hell, it's my second fav Zelda game!

[@damiradoncic]

What sane person wouldnt give it the win

[@poopboisinda8440]

If street fighter IV isn't on this list I'm gunna unsubscribe

[@UrbanRave1982]

Mighty Switch Force

[@bkillinm]

No smash bros, majoras mask/orcarina of time, contra 4, theaterythmn curtain call, rhythm heaven mega mix????

[@goatbone]

Contra 4 was DS. Great game.

[@Jonny312.]

Also no monster hunter

[@NolocoLawrence]

How's the 3D and the donkey Kong game is it really good or is it just okay

[@ale217]

Actually it's one of the best on the console, it has the same impact as Samus Returns, if you've played that one

[@NolocoLawrence]

@@ale217 yup got the Samus 3DS. Awesome to hear! I might pick it up just for that. I enjoy niche things like 3D especially in games that it works great in

[@ale217]

@@NolocoLawrence yeah definitely get it, it surprised me a lot when I played it, not only for the 3D effect but for the gameplay, it's probably my favorite 2D platformer

[@mbii7667]

Huh???

[@Neethan3247]

​@@mbii7667 I honestly do agree that the franchise is VERY overrated. One game is particular is Majora's Mask but I didn't play the remake on the 3DS.

[@thomassmith4467]

The only games i liked were captain toad and mario 3d world...which were both available on the home console...it was a crappy underpowered system that i never once used tge 3d feature on. Other companies are doing it better and cleaner in regards to handhelds these days. I'm 100% onboard the emulation train as of 2018. It's too easy and affordable now. Good luck big n.

[@thomassmith4467]

@@Chronoflation The screens alone on the 3ds were atrocious. It was a cheap, overpriced, gimmick of a handheld with nothing more than rehashed titles being realeased for it. Oh boy another Mario kart and a direct port of the gamecube animal crossing "which it was". The whole thing was sad. It makes me sad just thinking about it. The 3ds was out for what? Over a decade? It had two horribly over priced games I enjoyed that looked and played better on their own home console. The rose colored glasses are strong on this one.

[@Chronoflation]

@@thomassmith4467 Right, cause the system didn't have a Fire Emblem renaissance, sequel Luigi's Mansion for the first time, revive Kid Icarus with all new game mechanics, etc etc. Like I said, you don't know anything about the console or the games on it. Sure, it had plenty of remakes, just like every other console. Even the PS1 got remakes like Chrono Trigger on it. And by the end of the life of the system a 2DS was less than $80. If that's overpriced then so is every console ever. Sure, the screens could've been better, but the 3D was great on the New 3DS, and if you don't want to explore the games on it even through emulation, then that's your loss. Heck, even had a ton of eshop game franchises exclusive to it. Some later got ports/remasters years down the line like Gunvolt, but others are still there like the Dillon's Rolling Western series. You sound incredibly ignorant when you say it only had rehashes. Enjoy avoiding games from a console just cause you thought it was overpriced and didn't bother looking for used or on sale options, cause there were clearly no cheaper ways to play the system 🙄

[@sias.2569]

I could understand if you did not want to include remakes in your ranking. However, you included gunstar heroes 3D. So how was there no ocarina of time or majora’s mask 3D on your list?

[@vagrantender]

The problem is that in my opinion both those versions just feel too similar to the original games. Gunstar heroes 3d feels brand new.

[@sias.2569]

@@vagrantender *Ahem*… Did you play through the water temple in the n64 version of OoT? Did you look at the in-game models for the characters for the n64 versions? In majora’s mask, did you know that song of double time did not always let you skip to whatever time you want? You had to wait for an event to start. Did you know that if you ran out of time during a boss fight or lost (and subsequently ran out of time), you had to beat the entire temple again in order to rematch the boss? No changes… two words, “gyro aiming”. *mic drop*

[@vagrantender]

@@sias.2569 people that think aiming on N64 was bad were bad to begin with sorry. I played through ocarina on N64 flawlessly

[@sias.2569]

@@vagrantender That’s a hilarious take. That’s like saying tank controls in re2 were good. It worked for what it was, but to say they were not clunky is to deny objective reality. They both (tank controls and OG OoT aiming) did not age well and needed updating.

[@vagrantender]

@@sias.2569 hey say what you want but original re2 is better than re2 remake in every stretch. Especially since to afford those new controls they cut out a third of the game. So tank controls over third person controls anyday

[@devandmagic]

Heroes of Ruin should be on this list and it's criminal that it isn't getting any love anywhere. Kid Icarus Uprising and HoR are my two favorite 3ds games, and it needs acknowledgement.

I think most people generally agree with how hyped up Zelda is. You have a different opinion than most people and that's totally fine, but that doesn't make it overrated.
