Topic: 3DS eShop Recommendations thread

I found TwinBee to be far more enjoyable than Xevious.
In fact I've probably got more enjoyment out of it than any of the other 3D Classics.
Both are definitely worth a download though.

Is Adventure Island good? I possibly might get it looking at the gameplay footage and seeing that it looks fun.

YES! I got through TwinBee (the first time I've ever gotten through a scrolling shooter)! Died on the first level when the game looped over, though, lol.

High Score: 1,063,700.

I just got a $20 eShop card, and I'm not sure If I should use it and my cash to get a retail download game, or if I should just buy a couple little games...
Any Suggestions?

What you got already?

Without hesitation, these are my choices for must have:

0. (DSiWare, but it's way better then any 3DSWare out right now) X-Scape ($8)
1. Art of Balance: Touch/Mighty Switch Force ($7/$6)
3. Dillon's Rolling Western ($10, find a way to try this first cause it's really difficult and some will find it repetitive)
4. Denpa Men: They Came By Wave ($10, Try the demo)
5. Mighty Flip Champs (also DSiWare)

Nothing much, just Pushmo and Kirby's adventure (3D classics).

$20 eShop card! I need help deciding between escapeVektor and the Denpamen. Also, how does Megaman (the NES one) look and play on the 3DS?

Kinda interested in that as well. I am hoping they dont pull the reverse button junk that the AC did on GC.

I can't comment on escapeVector, but I love Denpa Men (best eShop game I've played, IMO.

Denpa Men easily offers a 30 hour or so long quest (more if you want to complete the bonus dungeons, find all the treasure chests, or get really hooked to collecting different Denpa Men).

It all really depends on how much you enjoy traditional turn based combat & dungeon crawling, though. If you love it (like me), you'll definitely get your money's worth, but if not, you may find yourself getting bored. There aren't any random battles though, and the Denpa Men themselves add a unique quirkiness to the game, so it may be worth checking out, even if you're not usually into JRPGs.

I have 30 dollars left on my eShop wallet, any recomendations ? i like RPG games, platform/action games too

My first 2 were Pushmo and Cave Story !

Good Platformer: Mighty Switch Force. Most original game on the service that isn't a lazy port.
Best action game: If EscapeVektor counts as Action, that works. Dillon's Rolling Western if otherwise.
RPG: You have 3 choices, and one (Planet Crashers) sucks. Both Crimson Shroud and Denpa Men are critically praised.

My way of spending $30:

X-Scape (FPS)
Mighty Switch Force
Art of Balance: Touch

And then save up another buck for DRW, EscapeVektor or Denpa Men

Denpa Men ($10)
Zelda Links Awakening DX ($6)
Wario Land $(5)

Man, 2012 was the year of the eShop. I have not realized just how AMAZING the amount of quality titles on here is. I couldn't afford everything I wanted with a $20 eShop card. 3DS's online offering is definitely 100x better than DSiWare.

Looking for great Platform games, the only one i have right now its Cave Story, and Gunman Clive (both are SO GOOD), but i been looking at Fractured Soul, Mighty Switch Force, Soul of Darkness, etc...any suggestions ? i have 20 left on my wallet

@FarukoSH Mighty Switch Force!
My favourite game on the 3DS (and Wii U) eShop.
If you're after a platformer, that's definitely the one I'd personally go for first.

Mighty Switch Force is definitely my favorite platformer on the eShop.

A few other good platformers are Mighty Flip Champs (more emphasis on puzzle), Dark Void Zero and Shantae: Risky's Revenge (overrated due to the terrible map and sometimes annoying backtracking).

If you have a PC, don't get VVVVVV unless it goes on sale again. Many will recommend it, but the PC version has more content for a lesser price.

What others have already said. If you're looking for a great platformer get Miiiiiiighty SWITCH FORCE! I love it. It's beautiful, charming, good 3D effect, challenging, and replay able. Just keep in mind the switching mechanic does add in puzzle elements.

Mighty Switch Force! is great, I recommend it too.

Dark Void is an action game, not a platformer imo.

Mighty Flip Champs is good but I don't see it as a platformer either.

Soul of Darkness is a nice game. It's a Castlevania clone, it's good fun bit is short, very short. Still, I don't regret downloading it.

Tomorrow I'll get Crimson Shroud, Gunman Clive and probably Hana Samurai.

Do you think it is better to get a digital Harvest Moon: a new beginning than the physical cart? If I'm correct, the digital has coins while the other don't.
