3DS Which 3DS games should I try?

Do you enjoy Jrpgs? There are the obvious Pokemon games. But the first Fantasy Life, exclusive for the 3DS is very fun, albeit a little childish. It has also my favorite version of Dragon Quest VII.

Hey partner, it's been a while since we last talked, it's me, lod.
 
There are so much of them! I'll mention only some of them off my mind.

Final Fantasy Explorers, a MonsterHunter-clone 3ds exclusive (if you like the genre).
Kirby Planet Robobot for a cute platformer.
Fire Emblem (Awakening or Shadow of valentia or Fate) if you like strategy.
 
São tantos! Vou mencionar apenas alguns que me vêm à mente.

Final Fantasy Explorers, um exclusivo para 3DS no estilo Monster Hunter (caso você goste do gênero).
Kirby Planet Robobot é um jogo de plataforma muito fofo.
Fire Emblem (Awakening, Shadow of Valentia ou Fate) se você gosta de estratégia.
Thanks for the recommendations. I already played a Monster Hunter game on the PSP and I was enjoying it, but I got lost.
 
i did get a 3ds a few months ago and im having a blast with its library especially since i have never owned anything nintendo related as a kid, my top recommendations are: shin megami tensei 4, bravely default, pokemon x and y,kirby planet robobot, fire emblem awakening and the mario and luigi rpgs.
 
if you have a good enough PC then you MUST PLAY Resident Evil Revelations. I think it's mostly a RAM thing, because everything I've emulated it on in the past ran it like doodoo, until my current mini PC, which has 32 gigs of RAM. So I believe it's a matter of just needing to powerhouse the hell out of that one. Also make sure V-sync is turned off and you're using vulkan. the 3DS version is my favorite version of the game, but if your rig can't get it to run right, there's otrheroptions, including a PC version (massive file size for what it is tho)

Anyway: There's some great RPGs, like the Shin megami tensei series, which are mostly very emulatable. I mainly had issues with the games that are updates of the DS entries for some reason. but IV, apocalypse, soul hackers and the Persona Qs all ran well as far as I played them.
There's some great racing games like Mario Kart 7, Need for Speed the Run and Ridge Racer.
Platformers galore, like New Super Mario Bros 2, Mario 3d Land, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Shantae, Rayman, Shovel Knight, Kirby, the list goes on. as per usual with nintendo it's a great lil machine for platformers.
The Legend of Zelda A Link Between Worlds, as well as ports of the N64 Zeldas (I haven't tried the ports, as I'm not a huge fan, so I can't vouch that they run well)
There's also Metroid Samus returns, which I think is just kinda OK. some people like it. If you've played Metroid Dread, it's closer to that than the classic entries. More of an action game. (and AM2R is a better Metroid 2 remake anyway)
Surprisingly there's a good selection of fighting games that actually run decently. Tekken, Dead or Alive and Super Street Fighter 4 all ran well enough.

These are just the mainstream picks. there are hidden gems as well (I just havent gotten to them myself yet)

you should check out Vimm's Lair. they have the sauce
 
If you like shoot 'em up Liberation Maiden is a short and sweet one. The control can be weird if you're playing on emulator tho. Then 7th Dragon VFD if you like dungeon crawler with three teams, the game made reference to previous entry, so you might wanna try 7th Dragon 2020 and 7th Dragon 2020-II on PSP as well.

Try out Code of Princess and Nano Assault. Maybe Super Street Fighter IV, if you're into fighting games and want an easier way to do the special and super moves. My copy is coming in next week.

 
Thanks for the recommendations. I already played a Monster Hunter game on the PSP and I was enjoying it, but I got lost.
They're not easy, I played the 3 on 3ds (completed the main quest) and some hours of "Generations", but it took me years to play one - first time on psp I quit after an hour.
Oh, now that I think of it and it seems no one else has recommend it, try "Monster Hunter Stories" (if you haven't played it on Switch already): it's turn-based, Pokemon-like (you collect monsters for your team), very nice graphics and story.
 
Eles não são fáceis. Joguei o 3 no 3DS (completei a missão principal) e algumas horas de "Generations", mas levei anos para terminar um deles. Na primeira vez, no PSP, desisti depois de uma hora.
Ah, agora que me lembrei e parece que ninguém mais recomendou, experimente "Monster Hunter Stories" (se você ainda não jogou no Switch): é baseado em turnos, parecido com Pokémon (você coleciona monstros para sua equipe), tem gráficos e história muito bons.
Thank you for the recommendation.
 
Crimson Shroud is one of a kind. It has a melancholy story. It's short (less than ten hours). It resembles a vintage dungeon crawler, complete with characters who look like tabletop RPG miniatures. Finally, I don't know if this game will ever be released on other systems.
 
Games that almost anyone will recommend you:

I am happy that Crimson Shroud was mentioned, it is a really interesting game.
P.S: I should add Exstetra is not exclusive to 3DS, but it is a fun game. If you want exclusive ones, the other two are and will remain 3DS exclusive forever.
 
If Mario Kart 7 then I recommend the mod CTGP-7 for 80 more tracks and a lot of quality of life changes, it has online play too.

The Yo-Kai Watch trilogy is a must, but if you'll play only one, then it's got to be Yo-Kai Watch 3. It has over 200 hours of content and a very unique grid battle system.
