Ok, so I bought a 3DS the first day it came out, over priced and all. I got Super Street Fighter 4, and later I got Ocarina of Time, but that's it. So, I wanted to ask you guys on what are some games that have come out since then that are just fantastic, or what games I should hold out and wait to buy. I was thinking maybe Kid Icarus, but I've heard some groans about the controls.
Nintendo 3DS

The Nintendo 3DS is a portable game console produced by Nintendo. The handheld features stereoscopic 3D technology that doesn't require glasses. It was released in Japan on February 26, 2011 and in North America on March 27, 2011.
The best 3DS games out so far.
This topic is locked from further discussion.
Probably Mario 3D land, but I'm about half way through Kid Icarus at the minute and it's easily the best game I have played this year by a mile. Really charming and kinda weird, but in all the right ways.
Everybody posting above is correct. Super Mario 3D Land, Kid Icarus: Uprising, Mario Kart 7, and Resident Evil: Revelaitons. And Pushmo. Don't be discouraged by the groans about the controls, Kid Icarus is a fantastic game. If you can, use the stand.

resident evil revelations, kid icarus uprising. you're welcome.
You forgot 3D Land and Pushmo and Ocarina of Time 3DS. You're welcome!
I'd recommend Devil Survivor:Overclocked if you haven't already played the DS version. Probably my favourite aside from Kid Icarus and Zelda. If you don't already know, its an SRPG of the Shin Megami Tensei universe. Its what you'd get if you combined Persona with Final Fantasy Tactics.

You'll get used to the controls as long as you use the stand.
I disagree; I took to the controls instantly, with no stand.
Kid Icarus, Mario Kart 7, Super Mario 3D Land, Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars, and Rhythm Thief are all worth getting.
EDIT: Oh, I forgot Rhythm Thief isn't out in Ameriland yet so you might have to wait for that one if you're not in Europe.
Retail: So far only played Super Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart7 and RE Mercs 3D. Really recommend Land and Kart.
As for digital: Like everyone else Pullblox/Pushmo is great. Also some of the Virtual Console stuff is good. Got Super Mario Land 2 6 Golden Coins and having fun with that in short bursts.
Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars is great if you're looking for a turn-based strategy game. Super Mario 3D Land is nothing short of phenomenal, as those games always are. Tetris Axis is some solid-ass Tetris if you like Tetris.

Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars - it's actually a pretty decent tactics game :o
secretly the best launch title nobody talked about!
if you've never played Starfox 64, get the 3DS version!
besides Pushmo, get Mutant Mudds (by Renegade Kid) on the eShop! ... man I hope that game makes its way to EU soon...
so your collection ultimately should look like this:
- SFIV3D (you already own that)
- Ocarina of Time 3D (you already own that, too)
- Super Mario 3D Land
- Mario Kart 7
- Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars
- Tales of the Abyss 3D
- StarFox 64 3D
- Resident Evil Revelations
- Kid Icarus: Uprising
- MGS3: Snake Eater 3D (if you don't have access to the HD versions or are a huge MGS3 fan. has some problems but some cool features and improvements not found in other versions)
- Bit.Trip Saga (all the Bit.Trip games on one cart)
- Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked
- Crush3d
- Rhythm Thief (?)
- Pushmo (eShop)
- Mutant Mudds (eShop)
- Mighty Switch Force (eShop)
- VVVVVV (eShop)
@GunslingerPanda: tell me more about Rhythm Thief, Nintendo keeps throwing ads all over my screens but I have no idea what this is (aside from a rhythm game, probably^^)

Think Professor Layton with Rhythm minigames instead of puzzles. Also has a pretty good videogame story.
I bought a 3DS without any games. How much do the Kid Icarus controls compare to Metroid Prime Hunters? Because I thought that game controlled great.
I only have Street Fighter IV, Ocarina of Time, and Ghost Recon. Of those I like Ghost Recon the best. I spend a lot of time on the downloadable stuff. Currently digging Picross, which was a nintendo club reward last month.
I second Mutant Mudds...Great classic game design and very challenging. Also, Super Mario 3D Land is an instant classic and Mario Kart 7 is the best yet. I just bought Kid Icarus but haven't played it yet.
The lack of worthy games on this thread disturbs me. It's been out for over a year and theres only 4 pretty good games. Ruh roh.
There's some good stuff on the dsi shop. Check out gaia's moon and shantae: risky's revenge. And ketzal's corridors just came out which looks good. Don't get Dillon's rolling western, though.
YO.
I'm buying a 3DS tomorrow for Theaterythmn.
I like Final Fantasy music and rythmn games that much.
that is all.
Just wanna say FF:Theatrythym or whatever the fuck is a way better game than it seems on paper. I've also been balls deep in Monster Hunter since it came out.
