Topic: 3DS eShop Recommendations thread

Bird Mania 3D.

Bird Mania and SpeedX both suck IMO.

If you don't mind DSiWare, try Escapee GO, Aura- climber, or save up till you got $8 and get X-Scape

One the eshop there isnt but there are lots of good games on the dsiware service

Okay I been on the fence on Dillions Rolling Western ever since it was released.
I thought it looked pretty good when I first saw the trailer but it didnt get the best reviews.....

I personally love it, but it's a mixed opinion (as much as Zelda II)
It gets pretty repetitive after a while, but that's to be expected of a Tower Defense, and the concept is really fresh with a lot of content packed in.
If you're a lefty, stay away. This game should've had CPP support for both lefties and dual-analog.

@gamecubeman i thought Dillons Rolling Western was pretty fun and im a lefty theonly thing is it starts getting really difficult and repepitive at around mission 6.

Really? I thought that was one of the better features of the game. You know, the long, repetitive sections. It sounds weird, I know, but knowing that you're on a timer you can't see in gathering materials, and trying to strategize for the upcoming night raids, and then the omnipresent "Oh crap! I'm doomed!" feeling created this unique (at least to me, I don't play strategy games a lot so I'm not sure if that feeling's exclusive to DRW) mood unlike anything else I've ever felt in a game for such sustained periods of time. I thought that was really good about it.

I have 10 euros so should I get denpa men and a 2 euro game or Twinbee and Dot runner/Aero Porter. Any suggestions for the 2 euro game???

@RainbowCrasher, get the Denpa Men! Easily the best "3DSWare" game on the service.

PSN had tax, but since the hack, nobody has paid any tax (good for us!) so I can actually get a $20 card now and buy something that costs $19.99 on PSN. Wish Eshop was the same. Canadian taxes are awful. Ontario is 13%(!)

^^^This

yeah taxes for downloadable games will always be a "why does this exist" sort of thing for me

will hydroventure be good???

From when I last heard, time travel hadn't been invented yet... So, we don't know!

The Pushmo/Pullblox Crashmo/Fallblox games would like to have a talk with you but The Denpa Men is pretty addictive!

Oh, I've already had an extensive talking with Pushmo. It makes a good case, but can't beat Denpa Men (or Cave Story, or VVVVVV, or Mighty Switch Force!, or Sakura Samurai, or well you see where I'm going with this).

Seriously though, Pushmo is a great game, but I'm not that big a puzzle fan anyways, so you can understand if it's not my favorite (I still really enjoyed it though, which is a great credit towards it's quality).

Ok, I guess it's fair enough if you just prefer Denpa Men, VVVVVV, Mighty Switch Force etc. to Pushmo...
This then reminds us just how quickly this service has built such a great library of games!

Hmm... I'm thinking of getting either Crimson Shroud or Aeroporter. They both seem equally appealing, and I think the idea in Aeroporter is quite clever. Anyone who has both, which do you think I should get? And about how long is the story mode in Crimson Shroud?

Should I get Professor Layton, Paper Mario or Scribblenauts Unlimted

While I will recommend carts, I say Professor Layton is the best out of the 3, because it's the only one I played (lol) and it had the best critical reception. The 3DS version of Scribblenauts is a traditional counterpart to a retail title, watered down with lower-res graphics, so I can't recommend that unless you don't want have and don't want a Wii U (I can see the Wii U version dropping in price soon). Paper Mario is really hit-or-miss it seems. It's probably best you try it somewhere first.
