Topic: 3DS eShop Recommendations thread

Crimson Shroud has to be played twice. That takes more than 20+ hours.

Art of Balance is a good game. And complete it would take you at least 7h.

Decided to get Wario Land 2-3, digital Animal Crossing New Leaf, and Super Mario Bros. NES Trilogy as well.

I have $35 waiting to be spent in the eshop, I have no clue what to get.

Have you considered adding a few bucks more and buying a digital retail game?

There are several good options for that price range... Animal crossing, fire emblem, monster hunter, mario and luigi, etc.

You could also get resident evil revelations or buy some of the expesive downloads like mario and dk or the denpa men.

Does anyone know if Family kart 3d or bike rider dx is any good?

I'm still waiting for the family kart review lol

From what I heard, bike rider dx is pretty good.

Is VVVVVV good?

or Mighty Switch Force?

@McFox, those are two of the best platformers on eShop, and both should definitely be in your collection.

I mighty get VVVVVV today. See what I did there?

Any other recommendations?

It really depends on your tastes. The eShop has a great amount of content, for pretty much any genre (except FPS at the moment).

If you're into platformers, you have stuff like the Mighty Switch Force! series, VVVVVV, Mutant Mudds, Super Mario Land series, Kirby's Dreamland series, and more.

For puzzler fans, you have Pushmo, Crashmo, Ketzal's Corridors, 3 great Picross games (with a 4th coming), NightSky, GB Tetris, and more.

For RPGs, you have the Denpa Men series, Crimson Shroud, PicDun 2, Sword of Hope II, Shining Force: the Sword of Hajya, etc.

For "Metroidvania" fans, you have Cave Story, Metroid, Metroid II, Tails' Adventure, & Bloody Vampire.

For arcade style action, games like Outdoors Unleashed: Africa 3D, Chain Blaster, Nano Assault EX, Liberation Maiden, Pac-Man, 3D Classics: TwinBee, and more fared well.

As for sports games, Family Tennis 3D had a favorable reception, and the recent slew of bowling games, while not great, got a decent reception.

I already have Mutant Mudds, Denpa Men 2, Pushmo, Sakura Samurai, Gunman Clive, and the Oracle games.

SteamWorld Dig is one of the best games on the eShop. And if you like classic RPGs, Crimson Shroud is a must too.

Finally, if you like puzzles go for Pullblox or Fallblox.

Puzzle: Art of Balance Touch
Arcade/Action: EscapeVektor
Shooter: Nano Assault EX

Those are my top 3 games on the eShop thus far.

Pushmo and "Pullblox" are the exact same game...

@McFox

I highly recommend Donkey Kong on the Game Boy VC (a really expansive puzzle-platformer masterpiece) and Punch-Out on the NES VC (if you've never played it, think Sakura Samurai with boxing instead of swordplay). Also, will totally back up the recommendations of Steamworld Dig and Crimson Shroud.

Oh, and Mighty Switch Force is awesome. One of my favorite platformers on 3DS.

After saving up for a couple of months, I finally have some money to spend on eShop.

Today I've already bought The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons, and I have around $14 left, so I have enough for two games. I will definitely get Shantae next, but I'm unsure about what's next.

It's either going to be Kirby's Dreamland 2 or Picross e, and I want to know how many blocks Pe is. I only have a couple thousand blocks left, and if Pe guzzles them (lets say 800 or more), I'll probably opt for Kirby instead (since VC games don't take up much space).

I want to take advantage of the Atlus sale. I already have Code of Princess, and I'm down to Etrian Odyssey IV and SMT:Demon Summoner Soul Hackers.

I've played the EO4 demo, but I'm having a hard time getting into it. I'm not really liking all the micromanagement and the manual map system. But I do like a good dungeon crawler.

I'm really enjoying SMT4, but I haven't played any other entries in the series... and they don't have a demo for SMTDSSH...

So... knowing that, and possibly more if you should ask, which one should I get? Or should I just put this $30 towards something else altogether?

30 bucks?
I'll give you 2 great options
1. Soul Hackers
2.Unchained Blades (hard as nails dungeon crawler from x-seed)

Steamworld Dig or Dillons Rolling Western 2 or Bike rider DX
Oh, @RR529, get Kirby. Picross e is a shadow of the other picross games, and doesn't have that "Nintendo touch"
It is a generic picross game, and you can get many for cheaper on IOS.
