Topic: 3DS eShop Recommendations thread

Obviously Kid Icarus U is the answer. But that's not eShop.

If there is gonna be one on the Wii U

Yeah, well I was talking about hypothetical games. Super Mario Sunshine 2 is another game that might or might not ever be made, nd so is Kid Icarus U. We can all hope though.

agreed

Fractured Soul has online leaderboards (for speed running records, I believe).

Outside of that, I believe the Pinball games are the only other eShop games that have leaderboards (Bird Mania & Liberation Maiden don't).

Any particular reason you're not interested in the pinball games (or even Liberation Maiden)? They're all some of the eShop's finest.

the demo for that marvel pinball game was lame and the camera angles were horrible.
i would love to get liberation maiden but i really dont like holding my 3DS with 3 fingers.
fractured soul isnt out yet in europe. and im afraid it will be too hard. but im very interested in that game.

i want some action game where i just play. where i get in a rush hunting for the next highscore. i feel like 50% of my 3DS/DS games are puzzlers

Which would you recommend: NightSky or the DENPA Men? Both sound like a lot of fun, but I just can't seem to decide between the two. Any thoughts?

I've got about $7 on my account and I was wondering if I should get Metroid II: Return of Samus or some of the NSMB2 DLC packs. What do you think?

Metroid II

@True_Hero: Denpa Men!!! I love NightSky, but Denpa Men has loads more to do than any other "3DSWare" game.

@Ideal_Hero: I'd go for Metroid II. It's one of the best games on the 3DS VC. I can't give opinions on the NSMB2 DLC though, as I don't have the game.

Dude there's nothing wrong with Marvel Pinball, I prefer using the Angle No.7 and there is multiple camera angles from which to choose from. There is definitely online leaderboards and what I love about this game is that it will automatically notify you on the Touch screen if you've beaten somebody elses highscore while playing. You can also find out what people on your friends list scores are and where they are. @Tech_101 is actually No.1 on the Fantasic Four pinball table at the moment and i've got him on my friends list.
Defintely a good choice out of both Marvel and Zen Pinball titles, plus they're both made by the same dev, so you can choose you what Marvel or just the Zen Tables, depending on which game you buy. Also bonus reason, get Marvel Pinball because they should both be the same price at the moment, Marvel is usually more expensive of the two, but is has more entertainment value.

I've got $21.03 to spend on the eShop. What should I get?
(I already have Colors! 3D, 3D Classics Kirby's Adventure, and SMB)

(I also want to get one NSMB2 DLC pack, so which one is the best?)

@Gioku, Denpa Men, Link's Awakening DX, & the Sword of Hope II.

All top tier eShop games, & you'll get at least around 60 hrs total playtime altogether (at least 30 from Denpa Men, 15 from LADX, & 15 from tSoHII).

Are there any really good games for $1.99/$2.99?

^The only $1.99 games I've played are DSiWare. I know you said you weren't interested in DSiWare, but I'll mention them just in case.

• 10 Second Run - Amazing! Tight controls with a very hard difficulty (50 levels, with 10 more unlockable). The graphics are simple, but I think that helps it look good even on the 3DS.
• iSpot Japan - Great (certainly better than the 6/10 NL gave it)! for only $1.99, you get a little over 160 levels across 3 difficulties. after beating a level, you get to look at the image in the gallery, with interesting info about the location, as well as a simple map that shows where it's at. "Spot the difference" type games aren't the most exciting, true, but this game does what it does, very well (also, I don't know if it's because it's held book style, but the images still look great on 3DS).
• Paul's Shooting Adventure - Great! It's nothing revolutionary, but it is a fun & quirky little shump, that serves it's purpose for $1.99. It has 6 or 7 levels, with 3 difficulty settings, and it keeps your high score.

@RR529: I think you're confusing me with someone else; I've got no problems with DSiWare.

Also, is Photo Dojo any good? I'm thinking about that one.

Personally, I haven't played Photo Dojo.

Also, as for iSpot Japan, it DOESN'T have 160 levels. It has 150 (sorry I got that mixed up before. 50 levels per difficulty level (easy, medium, and hard).

Besides the 3 I mentioned, I also have:

• Anonymous Notes Chapter One - It's also $1.99, but I found it really boring. It's a RPG, so it is long, but it's the most repetitive game I've ever played. They reuse the same 10 or so enemies, one (very easy) boss, and one theme throughout the entire game (I got so bored of it, that I haven't finished it).
• Escape Trick: the Secret of Rock City Prison - This one's a bit more expensive ($4.99, I believe?). I got it because Nintendo Power recommended it. It's a pretty decent point & click, text, escape game. Although, the final couple of levels had time limits, which were really annoying, IMO.
• Art Style: PictoBits - Not sure how much it costs (got it through CN). I personally didn't care for it, but I'm not a puzzle guy, so that's probably it (although the classic Nintendo theme throughout was cool). Others say it's amazing though, so if you like puzzlers, I guess it's worth a look.
• Four Swords Anniversary - Love it! It was free for awhile, now it's off eShop.

You should definitely get SpeedX 3D, for $2,99, it's truly amazing!
