Topic: What genre of game do you think the 3DS lacks?

First-person shooters and maybe a few more racing games. FPSs that use the CPP also. I feel that would work amazing.

MG3:SE and RE:R worked amazingly well with the CPP. There is a lack of CPP support if you ask me.

I can't think of any... got any examples?

It really needs more 'grown-up' games. Maybe FPS' or a decent racing game.

*Not of the Mario kart type.

I was going to say Fire Emblem, but that's not real time so....I got nothin. Nevermind.

strategy and tactical rpg

Vertical shmups.

Is WarioWare a genre? Needs a game in that series with the traditional (not Game & Wario) microgame style.

Also, Metroidvanias, because for some reason we have neither a mainstream Castlevania game or a mainstream Metroid game on the system.

2D platformers.... GOODS AND NEWS 2D platformers.... (NSMB2 is very bad, and DKCR3D is a port).

@Volke93 Wait for the new Shantae game

I feel like if you include the DS, DSiWare, and eShop the 3DS has A LOT of 2D platformers

Heavily lacking in first-person shooters.

Seriously, the PSP had one analog stick and still got first person shooters. Even the DS had quite a few.

First Person Shooters not being on the 3DS are, for me, a big void in the handheld's library. While the DS isn't known for those experiences, Metroid Prime Hunters, Dementium, Moon and Dementium II are games I love and were the games that made me interested in the genre. Seeing the 3DS approaching 3 years without such an experience is a shame to me. I also agree with @kkslider5552000 about the inclusion of more 3D platformers. I felt that was one category the DS didn't quite nail, so I definitely want the 3DS to do it justice.

I am really excited about Renegade Kid's new FPS for 3DS.

There's quite a few on the eShop. Fractured Soul, Steamworld Dig, Mutant Mudds, Cave Story, Mighty Switch Force and VVVVVV spring to mind.
3D Platformers, on the other hand, are quite paltry on the system. There's Mario 3D Land, Rayman 3D, and... that's it. Sonic Lost world will be on the system too, though, so that helps.

It's also good to see lots of other people wanting FPS games on this system. I quite enjoyed the stuff Renegade Kid put out, and Metroid Prime Hunters with friends was like portable Quake. Fantastic stuff.

So am I. Cult County looks to be the first FPS experience on the system and looks like it'll also be delivering a very thick, consistent atmosphere. I've been wanting a deeper atmospheric experience from the 3DS for a while now, and I know Renegade Kid can deliver.

I hope it is because the micromes are missing on the 3DS!
FPSs(I discovered I only dislike the military ones!), RTSs, even MORE platformers(I'm not really a big fan but I like them, more the 3D ones with a few exceptions!), action-adventure(zelda type not casual game with an adventure tag in the genre), something crazy and new that doesn't fit conventional genres!

I'd like to see a few more JRPG's on the 3DS, but since Bravely Default: Flying Fairy is coming next year, I really can't complain.

I was talking about RETAIL games.

FPS games and Metroidvania games. I really want more.
