I've hardly even TOUCHED either of these consoles in my life. But my wife wanted a DS, because she played the Trauma Center ds games as a kid and wanted to get them. I convinced her we should get a 3ds in order to have access to both libraries. So we got those two, and then I found Smash Bros 3ds really cheap so I got that too. That's our start. Looking for recommendations. I will say, I very much want games with interesting art and gameplay (think, lets say, Katamari for PS2), which it seems the DS and 3DS line excel at compared to the home consoles. Any good action games as well. Would also be interested to know if there's many Western RPGs on the consoles. I am not interested in JRPGs, unless there's one that has a really interesting spin on the genre in terms of gameplay or art. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I was going to recommend Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky until that last part. Still has a damn good story though.
There's also Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia and Guardian Signs, which aren't exactly RPGs and make heavy use of the touch screen for "combat". But do NOT play the original Pokemon Ranger. That one is ass. Kid Icaurs: Uprising is a must There's some good Kirby Games (though I'd personally avoid Canvas Curse and Mass Attack) --- https://i.imgur.com/lfI7zGE.jpg https://i.imgur.com/tgLNUuX.jpg Come to the (un)official GameFAQs Touhou board. http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/1110- ...

Seconding Ghost Trick. Thirding Phoenix Wright Trilogy (Ace Attorney) as well.
Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy Curtain Call is another must, even if you've only played one or two FF games. Nobuo Uematsu is an amazing composer, and this game lets you experience so much of his work. Elite Beat Agents, and Rhythm Heaven are also great choices if you like rhythm games. Also seconding Lost Magic. Fun strategy game that makes excellent use of the DS's drawing feature. Then there's Okamiden, though I'd suggest you play Okami first if you haven't already. Then, of course, there's The Legend of Zelda: Link Between Worlds. A wonderful sequel to Link to the Past. There's a good set of remade Dragon Quest games for the DS/3DS as well. Furthermore, if you never had a Gameboy Advance, there are a bunch of games from that console that can also be played on a 3ds (though I consider a Gameboy SP to be the best console for GBA games). There's the Golden Sun series, Robopon, Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire, Boktai, updated remakes of the Breath of Fire and Phantasy Star series, Fire Emblem, and so much more. --- "If history is to change, let it change!

I actually started to collect games too. I didn't get games that they have remakes or ports of like Luigi's Mansion 2 coming out.
I bought DKC Returns just yesterday and I'm waiting on Super Mario Land 3D in the mail. I bought SMT 4 and SMT 4 Apocalypse awhile back. I bought Ultra Sun, Pokemon X, and Omega Ruby. And I have games I've had for a long time which include the One Piece rpg, Monster Hunter 4, Dragon Quest 8, Dragon Quest 7, Dragon Quest 9, Final Fantasy IV remake, Suikoden Tierkries, Mario and Luigi Superstars/Partners in Time/Bowser's Inside Story/the Paper Mario crossover and Dream Team. I bought Super Mario 64 DS, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Detective Pikachu, Luigi's Mansion, Bravely Default and Bravely Second, Ocarina of Time 3D and Majora's Mask 3D, Fire Emblem Awakening and Echoes. Super Smash Bros 3DS, Starfox 3DS, Kid Icarus Uprising and Metroid Samus Returns. Oh and Nintendogs. I want to get Tales of the Abyss soon. That'll probably be my next game. --- I am that Naruto crap. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Fantasy Life. Trust me bro.
It's actually my favorite game of all time. Though maybe skip it if you can't get the DLC (which you probably can't since the eShop shut down, unless you hack your console, which tbh is a lot easier than it sounds), since the DLC adds quite a bit of stuff to the game. EDIT: Just saw the comment about JRPGs. I still stand by my FL recommendation though, since it's more of a gathering/crafting game with some minor JRPG elements in it. Probably closer to an Action RPG or something. Idk, I'm not an expert on game genres. --- The Bagel made me do it. I am the master of dead memes ... Copied to Clipboard!

I recommend almost every Kirby game on the device (4 on DS and 4 on 3DS), especially Kirby Superstar Ultra and Planet Robobot. Kirby's Mass Attack might be the most underrated of those (I liked it a lot at least). Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn was one of the final releases on 3DS, and is pretty pricey these days.

I like how TC mentions he's not really looking for JRPG recs yet most posts do so anyway. DS and 3DS were basically carrying JRPGs throughout that entire era.
In any case, I'd recommend Etrian Odyssey. It's definitely more of a JRPG with mostly linear progression but it has a lot of DnD style WRPG elements too. Most significantly, the games barely has a plotline and instead much more about the combat, traversing and actively mapping the dungeons, and the events that all have multiple choices. You don't control named characters, you control your own customized guild with classes. Gamefaqs actually lists the first few games as WRPGs lol. --- </topic> ... Copied to Clipboard!
