(Yea...one of those threads, sorry).

So I was able to trade in my old DS, and my PSP (1000), and picked up a 3DS XL. It's shiny, new, and the AR games are fun as hell. I currently have Pokemon White 2, Theathrhythm: Final Fantasy, and Star Fox 64 3D. Are there any other games I ought to check out? Note: I do have some old DS games, so I know I have options there.

The issue is....well, I haven't owned a current-gen console in 3 years (vintage gamer, and I'm not counting my PC). Therefore, I'm out of the loop.

I'm tempted with Project X Zone, and I know there are some big 3DS titles in the pipeline. So, what ones should I look at/wait for?

No idea what you're into, but some good 3DS games are:

Fire Emblem Awakening, Etrian Odyssey, Devil Survivor, and the Ocarina of Time remake maybe?

Edit: also forgot 999/VLR if you have a tolerance for visual novels.

Unless you're from Europe, then the first 2 aren't out yet, the 3rd just launched with some pretty major issues, but I think Zelda is still a safe bet.

Pushmo/Pullblox or its sequel. Super Mario 3D Land is a must, Paper Mario Sticker Star is another favourite of mine and Luigi's Mansion 2 is fan-fucking-tastic.

Edit: Oh, and Kid Icarus Uprising! I did find the game uncomfortable to play but goddamn is the content itself completely awesome.

Check out the demos. I enjoyed the Mirror of Fate demo. People are also talking about HarmoKnight, and getting the game because of the demo. Though I suck at the demo because the buttons on my brand new 3DS XL feel too stiff.

Don't get Etrian Odyssey. It's a silly OCD map-drawing, random encounter game. We don't need that.

There is a Mr. Driller game in the DSiware section of eshop. It's 4.99. I plan to get it soon, when I do I'll tell y'all how awesome it is.

I also really enjoyed Mirror of Fate, myself.

When did you buy the system? There was a deal I did last week where I bought a 3DS and bought Luigi's Mansion and got Super Mario 3D Land for free. That's a great 3DS game 2 for 1 brother! :)

I just bought it Sunday. I think the Luigi's Mansion deal is good until 4/30. Tempting for sure.

Keep the suggestions coming. I appreciate the info.

Monster Hunter's been pretty fun for me, especially since who the fuck actually has a WiiU to play it on.

999, then VLR.

UK e-shop code. Might be used. I don't have many twitter followers so I don't know if anyone grabbed and used it - XDEVHVRJ5QDVUNB4

Kid Icarus is still one of my favourite 3DS games.

So I decided to capitalize on the promotion and pick up Luigi's Mansion, and redeemed Mario 3D Land. 2 games for essentially $20 ain't bad in my book.

Any opinions on RE: Revelations? I know Brad wasn't too fond of it.

Kid Icarus, Metal Gear Solid, and Fire Emblem.

Besides Fire Emblem get Luigi's Mansion and get Professor Laton or Super Mario 3D Land for free as that is what I did. And you did it seems.
