I am getting a 3DS XL on Sunday and will be getting Kingdom Hearts. I want a second game and am torn between Resident Evil Revelations and Theatrythm. I know they are really different but was wondering which one has the better value.

Pushmo/Pullblox. Do it. Mutant Mudds is supposedly very good, but I haven't had the chance to play it yet.

I 100%'ed Super Mario 3D Land and, while not a bad game, I ended up a bit burned out of the Mario gameplay. Ocarina of Time 3D is, well, Ocarina of Time... it's pretty good.

Do you like Final Fantasy and it's music? If so Theatrythm is awesome. If not RE will probably be more entertaining to you.

Also, +1 for Pushmo

Super Mario 3D land is the only 3DS game I have for my launch day 3DS so that?

Ya I will probably go with Theatrythm since I do enjoy the music and am kinda bored with Resident Evil. It seems more of an actual horror game but in the end I will eventually end up with both.

They are both really good, but I think I've spent more time with Theatrhythm.

Colors! 3D is awesome if you like drawing. I enjoyed Kid Icarus, as well. I don't own Revelations or Theatrhythm, but I'd go with Theatrhythm.

i wanted to ask this same question!

I'm going to get a 3ds xl as well soon and would also like to get 3 games for starters. want to vary them a little bit so I though about getting ocarina of time for some action-y stuff and picross 3d for the puzzles. the last one I'm not sure about. could you guy recommend some long and engaging game I can sink my teeth into? thought about that final fantasy tactics thing, although I'd prefer to paly through the advance one first. any ideas?

Final Fantasy Tactics-thing? so you're including the ridiculously huge DS-library in this as well? 'Cause there is no FF Tactics on 3DS. There's only Final Fantasy Tactics Advance (GBA) and Final Fantasy Tactics A-2 (DS). The original Final Fantasy Tactics is only on PSN/PSP. If you like those tactics games, Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars was the secret sleeper hit among the 3DS launch titles. The improved 3DS port of Tales of the Abyss 3D is also supposed to be pretty good. There's also SMT: Devil Survivor Overclocked.

If you really also want/need DS suggestions, I think you'll get a huge list mostly with games that often aren't in print anymore. Try Radiant Historia, Ninjatown, Retro Game Challenge, The World Ends With You, etc, etc ... there are probably tons of threads with DS-game suggestions.

eShop wise, take a look if something like Mighty Switch Force (recently received free DLC), Mutant Mudds or VVVVVV (best version!) are your thing. Oh and see if you can find Crush3D for cheap (retail). That's a cool puzzle game (updated port of a PSP game)!

Games I have enjoyed on my 3DS:

Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars

Pushmo

Final Fantasy: Theatrhythm

I really enjoyed Monster Tale even though it was for the DS it was still a good game with pet elements in it. Kid Icarus is a solid buy but if you wanna venture out a little I had some fun with Spirit Camera for the 3DS.

3D Mario Land is the best game on the system. Followed by Zelda.

Of the 6 3DS games I own I've only opened 2: Kingdom Hearts and Theatrythm.

Theatrythm is awesome, get that.

Super Mario 3D Land, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, King Hearts, Kid Icarus.

so I get that you are way into the ds? :D

well the 3ds XL is going to be my first DS and the main reason I'm going to buy it WILL be DS games (with some 3ds titles sprinkled in ofc)

well I already checked the huge thread with ds games here on GB and got some nice ideas from that, just unsure about the tactical part, because just as jeff said, tactical games are the perfect handheld games. so I wanted something to play for hours and hours off an on. I thought there may be a gem like jeanne d'arc for the psp somewhere in the ds lineup.

anyways. thanks for the answer. I'll do some more digging on my own for now!

I recommend Theatrythm, it's insanely addictive. Haven't been able to put it down for a few days now. Another great rhythm game if you're into them is Rhythm Thief and the Emperor's Treasure. Aside from those, Kid Icarus is fantastic.

I own Ocarina of Time, Super Mario 3D Land and Kingdom Hearts 3D AND I love them all
