Xenoblade Chronicles, Kirby games, Luigi Mansion, Centipede Infestation, Pokemon, and Dementium: The Ward Remaster

I owned two of them.

The Flame Red vanilla model that I got in 2011.

And the Black New 3DS one that I managed to snag when it went up days before its intended Black Friday date. I'm glad I ended up staying up late that night by chance, because if I had gone to bed, I would have missed it and may have had to deal with scalpers. I also bought face plates for it.

The 3DS definitely was one of Nintendo's strongest platforms in terms of library.

Got it at launch for Resident Evil Revelation.

I was a relatively late adopter of this (got one of the New ones in 2015) but probably one of the best enjoyment:number of games ratios for a console I've owned.

I think my best moments generally revolve around SMTIV and probably Apocalypse too: just two really engaging, reasonably challenging RPGs. Seemed to always end up playing them around exam time too lol.

also got really into Monster Hunter Generations for a while in 2018, having tried and failed to get into the series twice before. Not sure what clicked exactly but had a great time with it.

The 3DS is quite literally the only game system I bought at launch. I don't want to say I regret it, because it eventually turned into a very strong system. The first eight months, though. Yeesh. I believe I owned three games, and two of them were Nintendo 64 remakes. At least Nintendo owned the failure until they made it successful.

Yes

I bought a 3DS to play Animal Crossing: New Leaf. It was definitely worth it.

My favorite memory is actually from before I got one. I was hanging out with a bunch of friends and we were playing Magic. I decided to sit out a round and one of my buddies let me play with his 3DS and Mario 3D Land.

My favorite game is probably Animal Crossing. I put a lot of time into that game.

3DS is def one of my favorite systems. Combined with the Switch, Nintendo has been killing it lately.
