Haven't took a look inside these games...

I love the 3DS, it didn't do so well at the start, but a few free games and a price cut later, it became a fast selling system. Heck, it nearly gets 100,000 units sold in Japan every week. I bought one at launch, I only got it for the eventual Pokemon game. I say the 250 dollar pricetag was worth it for me. However I still haven't gotten some games for it yet. But before I list them, here are some blogs you might of missed:

And with that out of the way, here are the 3DS games I want to try:

Paper Mario: Sticker Star: I love the Paper Mario games, my favorite is The Thousand Year Door, it took everything from the first and made it better. And it's really hilarious. I think that's when that series peaked. I haven't finished Super Paper Mario yet, I should go back to it. Sticker Star is a game that got mixed reviews. Sure you are still Mario and everything is still paper, but now you rely on stickers. For fights. I also see it on sale often which is telling you something about how good it was. I'll try it, after I beat SPM at some point.

 Tales of the Abyss: I never tried the series before but I heard it is one of the best games in the series. I am willing try it since more rpgs are never a bad thing.

Project X Zone: I wanted to get this when it first came out because I loved the idea of 3 companies making a game together featuring their biggest stars. I sort of lost interest in it because I couldn't afford it at the time. I am willing to try it if the price is right.

Shinobi: I don't know much about these game, the only thing I know is that you use a ninja and platform. I wanted to get this but not sure if I was willing to pay full price. At 10 bucks might seem reasonable to me. I also dig the shiny box.

MGS3D: I haven't finished MGS3 but I already played enough for it to be my favorite in the series. I love what I played. Having it portable seems neat. I know I can always get the collection on the Vita but I don't have one of those. So the 3DS one will have to do.

 Code of Princess: It's a hack and slash game with rpg elements. I hear it has over 50 playable characters. It also has an online mode were you can play the campaign with other players or go against each other. Sure the box art may be a bit suggestive but I'll try it when it's at a price I'm willing to pay.

Animal Crossing: New Leaf: I've only played 2 games from the series, the Gamecube one which is my favorite, and the DS one. I skipped the Wii one. This one seems to bring alot of changes. I mean sure it might be the same premise as the previous games but I don't mind.

Batman Arkham Origins Blackgate: Like I said before, I am a huge Batman fan and love the first 2 Arkham games. I said previously that I skipped Origins because of the glitches. I heard that this one is a side-scroller and ended up being better than it's console counterpart. It also takes place before Arkham Asylum. And it's made by guys who used to work at Retro Studios. That should tell you something.

Zero Escape: Virtues Last Reward: This game is a sequel to 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors or 999. It is text heavy butvI love it. It's one of my favorite DS games. Zero Escape is a sequel to 999 and has a different cast of characters and alot of possible endings. I loved the first game's dark tone and setting. I wanna try it, but might wait since the publishers store has a sale that comes with the watch.

Fire Emblem: Awakening: I know little of the games but heard that they are pretty hard. I know Marth, Roy, and Ike are from the games and that's all I know. I wanted to try it last year but couldn't either and it got alot of praise from the internet. I wanna get this one soon since it's getting hard to find these days. I could always get a digital copy but I prefer a physical one. I have a Fire Emblem game from the Ambassador program, I should try that first to see if these games are my cup of tea.

That's the list. Are there any 3DS games you've yet to try? Thanks for reading and later.

Paper Mario: Sticker Star really isn't that good. It's the weakest of all the Mario RPG games.  Project X-Zone is only neat because of all the characters.  Code of Princess is a neat little beat 'em up, and a spiritual successor to Guardian Heroes.  What?  You haven't played Animal Crossing: New Leaf yet?  Also, try Theatrhythm Final Fantasy.

I quite enjoyed Blackgate.  It wasn't a great game,  but I still was able to find plenty of enjoyment out of it, eventhough I had to restart it because of a bug that halted my progress.

I would like to get some of these games too.  The only one I played was Fire Emblem.  It's a pretty good game.

From this list, I want to play Tales of the Abyss the most. Been meaning to get into the Tales series.

I agree with Alex. I'd love it they brought Tales of the Abyss to the Vita so I could play it. I don't know why I read these lists for consoles I don't own. Only makes me want to spend money haha

Ok so there's a 3D version of MGS3 (only MGS besides 4 I never played, and actually I played like 10 mins. of 4), a side-scrolling Batman game made by Retro from Austin, TX (Surprised) and a Shinobi installment on the 3DS? Getting harder to resist ...

I know I'm in the minority on this, but I enjoyed Sticker Star. Though that doesn't stop me from recognizing that it's the weakest of the Paper Mario games.

I've been wanting to try out Zero Escape, but the 3DS always has good games coming out on the horizon and I keep forgetting about it.

Project X Zone intrigues me but by and large, I have every 3DS game I want at the moment. Looking forward to the next Professor Layton game at the end of the month.
