Precisely my sentiment. 3DS games have always deserved better than the 3DS. RIP. 🕯
I think the New 3DS (standard size) is the best version of the device, and it's the one I use, but it's the best version of something I always wished was better.

Still butthurt some games didn't get localized. Great ace attorney, DQ11, ex troopers. Still have a backlog to go through so I'm good.
Ran 100% fine for me via Snes9x. You can use injectors to make CIA files of your old SNES games if you'd like to see them on the main screen of the 3DS, or just run the emulator straight up and select from a text list. The only game that has not run well for me on my New 3DS has been Seiken Densetsu 3, but otherwise the usual classics have all been absolutely great.
The DS library of games is the greatest library of games in video game history far as I'm concerned. Been a fantastic ride.
I was talking about first party, should've mentioned that:
- Pokemon Sun/Moon: Of course pokémon is the exception.
- Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon: A bit underwhelming compared to other second games of the same generation.
- Fire Emblem Fates: Ok, but it was 2015, it started going bad after that.
- Fire Emblem Warriors: Downgrade port
- Fire Emblem Echoes: Remake that's kinda meh but it's ok.
- Metroid: Samus Returns: A slow remake at 30 fps.
- Luigi's Mansion: An almost downgrade remake.
- Yoshi and Poochy's Wooly World: A downgrade port.
- Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn: A port (some downgrade maybe?)
- Mario and Luigi: Paper Jam: More Mario&Luigi fast food.
- Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga: More Mario&Luigi fast food.
- Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story: More Mario&Luigi fast food.
- Ever Oasis: Kinda ok.
- Zelda triforce heroes: Bad multiplayer spin off.
- Federation Force: very bad multiplayer spin off.

There is no English voice overs in the game right? Just Japanese with subtitles. That's quite lame imo as I love the English voices in persona
I have not turned my 3DS on once since the Switch came out. At that point it just felt entirely useless to me. I'm really amazed that any games have been released for it as long as they have and that Nintendo hasn't announced a successor.
I get the feeling that Yo-kai watch 3 & Yo-kai blasters will end up being the most expensive late releases for 3DS. YW3 is already fetching double it's retail price on ebay and it only came out a few months back.
Oh there is a lot more than that. Just on the DQ front none of the monsters games were localized for 3DS (they made a few) as well as DQ 11 3DS. =(

They meant what about keeping it for sword and shield, because that's a switch game.
Presumably the answer is to trade up your Pokémon but yeah.
(Also you're absolutely right about no dub sucking)
Oh yeah that's why I'm keeping it. So I can use pokebank with pokemon home to transfer all my pokemon
Because Nintendo weren't willing to pay for their localisation.
Yeah, that was clear that 2019 would be the last year. The console had a really great and long run.
I still have a backlog of titles to buy.

I'm still waiting on the DGS2 fan translation. Plus I never finished Luigi's Mansion 2 or the 3DS Kirby games.
I bought Q2 even if I never finished Q1 (I'm quite a Persona fanboy at the end of the day), and it's shocking to me that this will be surely my last 3DS purchase.
The 3DS has been an amazing system por SRPGs and JRPGs, Atlus and Intelligent Systems (and more companies of course) have released lots of hours of good RPG content on the console.
AlbW was an amazing return to 2D Zelda, far better than anything on the DS, same with Samus Returns. Even if the 3DS feels like the most gimmicky console ever (dual screen + motion control + 3D), the developers (including Nintendo) were far more conservative with the use of the gimmicks in their games. No more touch-only Zelda, no more micro strange implementations... And I liked more this way, 3D was a great addition but I'm happy that most games don't make you use it by force.

Oh I didn't know that. If I get the itch again to play my 3DS and mess with the VR function I'll remember to print them
In the end I can't help but feel a bit dissapointed about the system after the beast that was the DS. I don't think any of the Nitendo series had better entries on 3DS than on DS.

Yup, here you are!
For whenever you do get around to it!

Zelda, Metroid, Animal Crossing, Mario, Fire Emblem, Smash Bros., Kirby, WarioWare...
I have a hard time thinking of one that didn't, except Pokemon. DS was great, but not because of first-party offerings.
Something oddly depressing about seeing the only three options being switch, amiibo, and smartphones.Also Nintendo JP has disabled the 3DS option for upcoming releases.
My 3DS will live on for years as my perfect Retro portable though!
Maybe the best Nintendo system ever. The library is insane and there's no end in sight to my 3DS backlog.
I can give you FE but for the rest I thought that most of those first party games were either hindred by hardware too much, or uninspired. But you are free to have your own opinion.
Limited Run Games mentioned back in March that they have something in the pipeline post Persona Q2.
Reset the Clock!

I mean, I get the whole "hardware hinders the games" thing, but:
- Metroid: Samus Returns is categorically better than Prime Hunters
- A Link Between Worlds is categorically better than Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks
- 3D Land and NSMB2 are better than NSMB
- New Leaf is literally objectively better than Wild World
- Smash Bros. doesn't even exist on DS, lol
- Kirby I guess is more subjective, it comes down to what kind of Kirby you like
- WarioWare Gold is widely considered the best game in the series, but not having played it, I can defer on this one if asked to
I'm waiting for the revision. But yeah probably starting q2 when I'm done with Cold Steel.
time to be annoying
Yes, but worse than the GBA ones.
Nah. Spirit Tracks is the best one here.
3D Land yes, but NSMB2 is the worst mainline Mario.
New Leaf is the best Animal Crossing yes.
I guess.
Damn, this is one of the less subjectives, Phantom Thief!! Triple Deluxe and Robobot are widely recognized by fans as the best Kirby games!
Didn't play yet, but looks great.
I can't agree with that. Some were arguably better on ds like Pokémon, and bowsers inside story was better than the 3ds Mario and Luigi games, but plenty of Nintendo series got better entries.
Animal crossing, fire emblem, 2d Mario, 3d mario, Zelda (both 2d and 3d but then there were no 3d Zelda's on DS) jump to my mind as series that all had better entries on 3ds than ds
OP
OP
Lol, well, on the whole I gotta say I disagree entirely:
- Being worse than the GBA ones (I would disagree with the plural; Samus Returns is worse than Zero Mission, but better than Fusion) is fine, but the argument was DS vs 3DS entries, and Metroid is definitely better there
- Spirit Tracks is literally my least favorite Zelda game ever, so nope!
- Yay, we agree on Animal Crossing
- Yes, by definition lol
- Hey, I agree, I like the 3DS ones more! But if you like the more experimental Kirby games, I guess DS was more up your alley
I thought it was a general comparison between 3DS and other Nintendo portables, so that's why I brought up the GBA Metroid. But yeah, Samus Returns is a great game.
And Spirit Tracks ir your least fav? Really? It's basically Phantom Hourglass but improved, it should be at least above that. Much better dungeons, items, fantastic bosses, good story, great role for Zelda. You know what I think about Zelda already I guess, but ST hits all the right notes better than ALBW imo.
Love the system. Still considering picking up a N2DSXL just for the sake of having the "best" form factor of the system for working through the backlog in the future. I thought about buying a GBA Micro for similar reasons but never did, and I kind of regret it.
Well, PQ2 will be the last physical release (unless the Limited Run Games thing comes to fruition). Shovel Knight is major, but King of Cards is also basically stand-alone DLC (I think? Did they do the stand alone releases on 3DS?). That being said, we could get some random $4 3DSWare release two months from now so I doubt either will be the true "Final" release.
Or, this being Nintendo, for all we know they'll announce a 3DS port of Kirby Return to Dreamland or Paper Mario Color Splash at E3 for release in early 2020 or something. :P
