Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked immediately springs to mind

oh and you can't go wrong with Paper Mario: Sticker Star! It's a fun little game too.

Dragon Quest 9. It's not in 3d but it's a fantastic game.

If you aren't opposed to Strategy RPGs, Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars is fantastic, and only $20.

On top of what everyone else has said, I've heard good things about the Tales of the Abyss port. My vote goes to Paper Mario.

If you're looking to buy something that's not a turn-based RPG there's The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, New Super Mario Bros. 2, Kid Icarus: Uprising, Super Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7, Tetris Axis, and others. None of those are turn-based RPGs, but they're all great games.

There's also Pushmo and Crashmo which are great eShop exclusives.

I hear that new Level-5 table-top-like eshop rpg Crimson Shroud is pretty cool. Maybe get him some eshop monies and the recommendation?

And almost forgot to second Paper Mario: Sticker Star ! I'm getting my bro bro this for christmas. Haven't tried it yet, but honestly every other Mario rpg has been great fun, no matter who developed it- whether it be Intelligent systems or Alphadreams (or Square, der der). I have high hopes for this one as well!

@newfire: Thanks for pointing me towards Crimson Shroud, I never even knew this game existed. Can't wait to try it out, downloading now!

Crimson Shroud! Never been so immersed in a game without moving characters
