The 10 Best Nintendo 2DS, 3DS, and 3DS XL Games

[forcestrong]

The Nintendo 3DS, the successor to the insanely popular Nintendo DS portable video game system, is the handheld to own if you want to game on the go. That may not sound particularly remarkable considering that Nintendo has dominated the handheld space since the GameBoy, but it's a testament to the company's ability to craft compelling "mobile"

Pretty much what I expected. Probably the new Zelda will get placed on this or some other list when it comes out.

Thank you for this post; I want to get my kids one of thesefor Christmas and I needed a Nintendo For Dummies guide giving a quick rundown of the games. Although most of these are too advanced for mine, I can't imagine letting my kids go through childhood without any Mario in their lives.

Mario Kart 7 and Mario 3D Land were the best all around games I played on it. Then there's Pokemon, Ghost Recon Shadow Wars, Bit.Trip Saga, and Monster Hunter 3U but those may not be for everybody.

How do you not have Mario Kart 7 on there? Go Home PCMag you're drunk.

I'm not saying these aren't all good games, but I'm a bit disappointed that by "best" they obviously meant "most popular". There's a pretty big difference, IMO.

The Nintendo 3DS is the system to own if you want remakes of all the games you played 10 years ago in crappy 3D that you can only see at a certain angle!

To be fair though and relating to Animal Crossing, it is nice to see a handheld get a game with features that aren't available on the proper console version. I love New Leaf.
