Topic: 3DS eShop Recommendations thread

So, how many blocks does Urban Trial Freestyle take up? I've had it on my wishlist for awhile, and seeing as how it's on sale for $1.99, I figured I can't pass it up, but I want to be sure I have the space.

• Cave Story (Metroidvania)
• VVVVVV (platformer)
• Crimson Shroud (RPG)
• Liberation Maiden (Shump?)
• Picross e series (puzzle)
• 3D Kirby's Adventure (platformer)
• 3D Kid Icarus (platformer)
• Attack of the Friday Monsters! A Tokyo Tale (interactive story/card game)
• The Starship Damrey (Point & Click adventure)
• Sakura Samurai: Art of the Sword (action)
• Mighty Switch Force! (puzzle platformer)
• NightSky (puzzle platformer)
• The Denpa Men series (RPG)
• 3D TwinBee (Shump)
• Bugs VS Tanks (action)

From my experience, these are all VERY good, and worth a look. That's not even counting the wealth of treasures in the VC, either (classic Zelda, Mario, Kirby, etc.).

I need some reccomendations on either RPGs of any style or classic platformers that are simple enough to where I don't have to create restore points every few steps to keep from losing progress. Like easier than Mario 3 but harder than Kirby 1. Any suggestions?

which game should I buy Bravely Default, The Legend of Zelda A Link Between Worlds, or Kirby Triple Deluxe

I have $10 e-shop credit on my 3DS. Any suggestions?

I would try Retro City Rampage DX if you like Gta games.

I beat the game in about 2-4 hours not including the secrets you can find that unlock more content, and there are 15 main levels.

Mighty Mighty Switch Force, Pushmo/Pullblox, Steamworld Dig and my top 3 picks, you should also look at the Virtual Console or 3D classic games.

I have $11.5 in my balance, what do you recommend?

Note: I am going traveling soon if that helps

Thank you! I picked up Steamworld Dig and have $4.50 or so left. Any ideas on what to get with that? I might get Kid Icarus from Club Nintendo, would you recommend it?

If you're going travelling it may be worth getting Pokemon Link Battle or Pushmo/Pullbox, both have a lot of content but you can pick it and leave it at any time, if you're not into puzzle games you may want to try Super Maro Bros 3 as they are quick levels.

I haven't played Kid Icarus properly but it's on my list after playing a few bits from it on Nes Remix. Gunman Clive & Edge are great value cheap games and I'm not sure on the US prices (as I'm UK based) but you should be able to get a Game Gear & Gameboy Virtual Console game for that price.

i'm torn between mario and donkey kong or the dillon roling western? thoughts?

So which of the three GameLion games on sale for 0,99€ would you recommend?

Should I buy Sayonara umihara kawase or a lot of cheaper games?
Cheaper games I'm thinking about is Siesta Fiesta, 10 in 1 arcade games (its on sale) 2048, art of balance and Splash or crash

Alrighty guys I have a little dilemma. I have $14ish on my Eshop account and I'm trying to decide Shovel Knight by putting a tiny amount into the system or getting a few other slightly cheaper games (like: Siesta Fiesta, Pokemon TCG GBC when it hits the States, Super Mario Bros. 3 or The Mysterious Murasame Castle to name a few off the top of my head). Now here is the real kicker my brother just bought Shovel Knight on MY Wii U so I'm wondering it I should just play it there even though I use my 3DS way more. Thanks for the help!

I played Shovel Knight on the 3DS and thought it was a perfect fit for the system, but if you already have it then you're probably better off spending that money on other games. That being said, Shovel Knight is a great game that you should try to play in the manner you're most comfortable with, so if you decide to just buy it for the 3DS then you'll probably get more enjoyment out of it considering you use your 3DS more (and you get the convenience of portability). I still recommend buying games you don't own with that money, but either way you probably can't go wrong.

I'm thinking of getting an Adventure Island game on 3DS eShop for some portable platforming, but I don't know which one to get. The choices are Adventure Island II on NES and Adventure Island on Game Boy, which is based on the former. So I'd like to know:

• How much longer is the NES one than the GB one?
• Which one is more challenging, and how much more so?

Thanks!

Wait for the first NES one. (I want that but on 3DS).

@unrandomsam Yeah, I was disappointed when I found out that that wasn't on the shop. That would've been the obvious choice.
