Yes! Don't forget you also get GameBoy Color and GameBoy games. IMO this massive library (N3DS, 3DS, DSi, DS, GBA, GBC, GB, SNES, NES) has at least 10 "must play before death" games in them (for people that care a lot about videogames, anyway).
Of course all of this can also be achieved on a PC with a simple 10$ amazon controller and free emulators, if you're comfortable pirating games.
- tasogare 6y agoI’ve played a GBA and a DS game on emulator and this is far from the real experience, especially for the DS one. The new 3DS, DS lite and GBA SP are such nice hardware it’s part of the experience.
- echelon 6y ago> has at least 10 "must play before death" games Could you make some recommendations? I'd be very interested in your list.
- lghh 6y agoHere's my rough list of games that you can play on a 3DS that are not necessarily 3DS games that I think are "must play" type games. Does not include all games that should be on the list. 1. LoZ: Ocarina of Time 2. Super Mario 64 (ds version) 3. Donkey Kong Country Returns 4. LoZ: A Link To The Past 5. Shin Megami Tensei: IV (maybe not "must", but you should give it a shot) 6. Earthbound 7. Super Mario World
- glouwbug 6y agoFoundational list. Nothing tops Ocarina of Time
- pcdoodle 6y ago2D Link is best Link.
- northern-lights 6y agoAnd a few Pokemon ones too with Emerald at the top of that list.
- Sulamitachica 6y agoOooh yes i remember playing emerald and it being my favorite, among sapphire
- Wowfunhappy 6y ago> Donkey Kong Country Returns Pretty please, play the Wii version of this! You can use Dolphin if you want. The 3DS port halved the framerate from 60 fps to 30 fps, and it makes a big difference! At 30 fps, the game is much too difficult—unless you play on the "adjusted" difficulty they added, and I'm pretty sure I know why they adjusted it. Also, while I'm here I'm going to add on Kid Icarus: Uprising. I know the controls were divisive, but if you can adapt, it's a really unique and well-done action adventure. From the creator of Smash Brothers!

- ndesaulniers 6y agoFor GBA: 1/2. Metroid Fusion & Zero Mission 3/4. Advanced Wars 1 & 2 5/6. Golden Sun 1 & 2 7. Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced 8. Kirby and the Amazing Mirror 9. The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap 10. Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga There were also 3 great Castlevania's, 3 great Sonic Advanced, 2 or 3 Fire Emblems, I enjoyed the 3 Dragon Ball Z RPGs, I enjoyed the newer Pokemon Emerald and throwback FireRed (QoL improvements). Final Fantasy 6 is available. Really, a flash cart was very much a worthwhile investment (and a larger capacity battery) for my gameboy micro. Would recommend EZ-Flash IV.
- FillardMillmore 6y agoI'll be disappointed if Super Metroid doesn't make this list of yours.
- tolbish 6y agoSuper Metroid is available on Switch Online. Super Mario RPG would be my pick from here that is almost impossible to find legally.
- jaypeg25 6y agoI wasn't big into RPGs growing up, and I didn't even have a Super Nintendo, but I bought a Mini SNES last year and gave it a shot...I was floored at how enjoyable the game is. I got pretty deep into it but life and work and everything got in the way, and now it's been so long that I want to go back to it but would be completely lost...but I'm looking forward to starting over again when I've got some free time to dig into it again.
- mattl 6y agoSuper Mario RPG is on the SNES Classic.
- ewams 6y agoOh come now! You can't say 10 games you must play before you die and leave us hanging!
- komali2 6y agoEdit: You're right, that was rude of me lmao. This is an UNORDERED LIST: 1. Super Mario Bros 3 2. The Legend of Zelda (1986) 3. Super Metroid (1994) 4. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past 5. Super Castlevania 6. Pokemon: Silver/Gold 7. Advance Wars: Dual Strike 8. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (tecccchnically an n64 game though) (Majora's Mask would make this list if the DS version wasn't a butchered shadow of the original) 9. Metroid: Fusion 10. Like... ANY of the billion Final Fantasies available between NES and N3DS edit: 11. Mario 64 baybbeeeeeeeee
- skyyler 6y agoI'm very curious as to why you didn't like MM3D.
- komali2 6y agoThey messed with the acceleration algorithm to where it was almost impossible for me to solve the lily pad jump puzzle. They tweaked that fight where you chase the big monster around an endless forest hallway to be ABSURDLY easy. On that note, same for the originally TERRIFYING jungle warrior fight. Oh and the changed swimming mechanic was fucked, although I just read that they fixed it maybe? Here's a video I think captured it well https://youtu.be/653wuaP0wzs https://youtu.be/653wuaP0wzs
- jldugger 6y agoSo many questions. Like, do you really need pokemon to live? And why specifically Super Castlevania, which is regarded as kind of a garbage castlevania (the player sprite is bigger so you get less of a heads up on whats ahead, and it's not part of the "metrovania" pantheon). Why Fusion and Super Metroid? Does the original LoZ hold up as well as say Link's Awakening? Why are there only 3 companies represented on this list? Did Capcom run over your pet dog?
- simlevesque 6y agoMetroid Fusion in my opinion was the king of Metroidvanias for a really long time. It achieved perfection.
