Topic: 3DS Recommendations Thread

@zyn Exactly, those are the ones I'm talking about

Unfortunately, yo do have to buy them in physical since the shop doesn't sell digital DS games.

@roy130390 that is great! I prefer physical games over downloads.

@zyn Perfect then! Althought it would be nice to have them on the eshop too just in case you aren't able to find one in physical, but yeah, same here, I always choose physical over digital.

@roy130390 exactly! already grabbed the cartridge of Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow from ebay for EUR 8.
Can't take the ugly German boxing...need to get the JP or US/Uk for that.

@KrispieKurt
Maybe you should try them in a store to chose one.
I tried these 3 in a video game store:
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
One for the fire emblem games, I don't recall the name.
And I ended with Ocarina of time, I liked the music.

Hi all

I've just bought my soon to be 5 year old daughter a 3ds for xmas.

I've bought her Mario Kart 7 and was hoping I could get some advice on other games suitable for her age, ones she will be able to do?

She likes sonic but from the few games I've looked at and the reviews they seem to be a bit difficult?

Any advice would be appreciated

Thanks

@Swyer87 Kirby games are always fun and often easy enough. I have a 5 year old and he loves Kirby. Also the recent Pikmin looks to be fun and not too hard for kids. Chibi Robo might also deserve a look.

@Swyer87 I've got a five year old too, but she hasn't paid much attention yet to her 2DS.

I tried some of the kids tv-licensed games, e.g. Peppa Pig, Horrid Henry, but the games in them are so simplistic that I've decided to steer clear of them now.

Yoshi's Woolly World might be worth having a look at because it has a 'mellow mode' which is designed for those with little platforming skill. The game is very cute and could have some legs (by turning mellow mode off once she's good at it).

Edit: oh yeah, as Spoony says, Kirby is a delight and well known for its low difficulty.

@Swyer87 I just thought of some more she would like. My daughter is now 8 but when she was 5 she liked Cooking Mama. Check those out as well as Gardening Mama. There is some reading involved but it's not too difficult. When she gets a bit older look at the Style Savy games.

@Spoony_Tech @gcunit

Thanks for your help! Think I will have a look at Kirby 👍🏻

Is the 3ds or a new 2DS worth it at this point? I have a switch I play all the time. I got rid of my older 3ds a little over a year ago.

@scubydo Depends on what type of games you like. The 3ds is an rpg machine! There's so much to choose from. You also have games like Metroid Samus Returns as well.

@scubydo
Yes, it worth to have the 3DS specially for kids.
We got the 3DS after the switch, and 3DS games are simpler than the Switch.
It is cheaper, easier to carry, has more games, cheaper games, etc.
As a parent, for teens and above I would recommend the Switch, but is just a recommendation, because I enjoy more the 3DS than the Switch.

Yeah, I had one about a year and a half ago, and loved the rpgs. We have a switch also, but I was thinking more for myself. Lol

If you have a switch fire emblem warriors is neat if you like dynasty warriors and fire emblem. Not too long ago ever oasis came out kinda like fantasy life

Yeah I have it on switch

Rhythm Heaven Megamix is on sale for $14.99 right now, and I urge everyone to pick it up. It is a severely underrated game.

Is the 3ds on its way out? Only saw 3 games listed for 2018.

Yep. There will be continued support for a year or so (mainly from third parties), but after that I wouldn't expect any new 3DS games at all.

That's fine by me already have so many games (on 3DS), Switch is my console choice to future.
