Loved the video! Can I ask a question, 'Fantasy Life' on the 3DS is a very extensive and quest filled RPG, but I've never heard any praise about it...why? Thank you for your time!
@@benjulc9271 I will respectively disagree. My only issue with them is they make it so easy by giving the xp share. I turned it off when I played because I thought you had to split the xp, and the game was much more enjoyable/challenging.

"It's one of the first 3DS titles to fully showcase its 3d effect without having to wear those geeky glasses" The dude said this about Samus Returns... Makes me feel like this dude has no idea what he's talking about.
Yeah the very first game he talked about at #25 was “profesor Layton miracle Mask” however he was reading the plot of “Profesor Layton vs Ace Attorney”. It’s clear this guy didn’t do any research and was just making a video on some list he found online without caring enough to know anything about these games.
@@cloudlocke yeah Samus returns was One of the last games made for the 3ds. I think it was the second to last game to come out next to the bowsers inside story remake
still playing the 3DS everyday in 2021, haven't scratched the surface of great titles! went on mario kart 7 and was so happy people all over the world at still racing!
I prefer 7 over 8. Might just be that I was burned out from years of 8 and so going back is nice. You can actually still play classic MKDS online as well
Well since it wasn't mention on this list, These was some pretty great games on the 3DS. 1. Kirby: Planet Robobot 2. Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World 3. River City: Rival Showdown 4.

Sadly to see it fades away in the gaming industry. So far my favourite gaming system which no other gaming console yet to impress me as 3ds did. The huge games library, portability due to its pocket size and the 3D effect which still amaze me until this day whenever I have the chance to try it on the new game. Love every bit of it and I will keep it by my side for another 10 years wherever I go.
This is one of the best systems if you're a Zelda fan. I believe it's the 2nd with the most Zelda games, the 1st being the Wii U if I remember correctly You can get Via Virtual Console: -OG Zelda -Zelda II -Link to the Past -Link's Awakening DX -Both Oracles Games Via DS phisical copy: -Four Swords -Phantom Hourglass -Spirit Tracks And 3DS originals: -Ocarina of Time 3D -Majora's Mask 3D -Link between Worlds -Triforce Heroes -Hyrule Warriors Legends -Twilight Princess Picross The only ones missing are: -Windwaker -Fourswords Adventure -Twilight Princess -Skyward Sword -Breath of the Wild -Minish Cap, which isn't in the 3DS eShop but the Wii U eShop instead.
I agree 3DS and Wii U are the best two systems for Zelda junkies. Bummer they didn't port Minish Cap to a 3DS cart. Oh and don't forget the 3DS has Twilight Princess Picross. I know you weren't counting spin-offs but it's a free game with silver points so hey why not.

The 3DS will always have its place. The Switch is more of a small tablet. I want a portable game device the fits in my pocket. Nintendo forfeited the pocket to smartphones. Screw smartphones, they killed mobile gaming.
god this brings me back. I remember being like 9 or 10 and my mom buying the 3ds when it came out in an actual store. I was so excited and this really gives me some nostalgia
That feeling of walking into the gamestop with the cold air hitting you in the middle of summer to buy my 3ds will never leave my mind for as long as I live
My Top 10: 1. Zero Escape Trilogy 2. Radiant Historia Perfect Chronology 3. All Ace Attorney games 4. Fantasy Life 5. MH4U 6. MHXX 7. Bravely Series 8. MH3U 9. Alliance Alive 10. Digimon Re Digitize Decode
Monster hunter series was amazing. Me and my friends would buy the games together, meet up to play together every time. It's definitely some of those button-killer games. My shoulder button died at MH4U but a fellow from the local 3ds community offered to fix it. Also, I know Streetpass isn't exactly a game but it's one of the things I really enjoyed about the 3DS
Top 10 for me... - Fire Emblem Birthright - Pokemon X&Y - Metroid Samus Returns - Professor Layton Miracle Mask - Bravely Second - Luigi's Mansion Darkmoon - Donkey Kong Country 3D - Zelda Link Between Worlds - Kirby Planet Robobot - Steamworld Heist
I HIGHLY recommend to everyone with a DS, DSLite, DSi, 2DS, 3DS, etc, to play ALL of Professor Layton games. They are by far my favorite game franchise and i know that if you give it a try you'll love em too. The characters are lovely, the game handle like a cellphone puzzle game but with an interesting story and anime cinematics. PLEASE give em a try. If a Layton game comes out for the switch then im buying the console just to play it for sure!
I still adore my 3ds and 3ds xl. I have tons of games and won't ever ever ever stop playing them or get rid of them. Even with my switch in mind... you can pry my 3ds xl out of cold dead hands.
i really like the 3d screen without using glasses, i think that 3d effect is pretty good and so innovative on that era. 3DS is a very unique and irreplaceable handheld.
I’ve always regretted trading in my 3ds for a discount on the switch. Sure, I love my switch, but I never really got to dive into all these great games. Can’t wait to get my hands on another one.
Facts, especially since the gameplay is so similar to dread which is finally coming out soon and also cause its the most dramatic remake compared to the original by far and also the oldest.
The only reason Samus Returns had such lackluster sales was due to coming out on the 3DS at the tail end of its lifespan when it should have been on the Switch instead.
I was really hyped by it but when I got my hands on it I felt like it was a jack of all trades, master of none, every single mechanic felt lackluster and not deep enough
This Game will end as a "hidden gem" on most 3DS lists. I also have it in my collection and you still can get it cheap from ebay. But it's sad, that most ppl not even know it exists...
@@UndeadCollector ever oasis , fantasy life and the fossil fighter series are indefinably some of the most underrated and best games from the ds and 3ds
@@hobojoe5981 I actually play Fantasy Life right now on 3DS. The Content is huge. But i also see why it should be played with other ppl, because doing all "Lifes"(Jobs) alone take alot of time. My play time reached 100h+ already.
Ahh this brought up lots of good memories for the console that actually got me back into console gaming. I broke out the 3ds recently to finally play Persona Q2, and that ones a blast after Playing Persona 4 and 5. Another of my personal honorable mentions to Etrean Oddesy 4 (but they’re all great if you like this style of game). Great list, thanks!
So many games are still waiting to be played! I loved LoZ:BotW on the switch. The only other zelda game ive ever played was way back nintendo DS era. Now I'm gonna start with majora's mark and A link between worlds. There are some games I have fond memories of but can no longer enjoy since i can't play with/against my friends anymore.
The Nintendo 3DS is my all-time favorite handheld. My favorite games are the following: 1. Monster Hunter 4: Ultimate 2. Fantasy Life 3. Stella Glow 4. Samus Returns: Metroid 5. Animal Crossing: New Leaf 6. Mario Kart 7 7. Yo Kai Watch 8. Fire Emblem: Awakening 9. Super Smash Bros.: 3DS 10. Super Mario 3D Land 11. Kid Icarus: Uprising 12. Monster Hunter Stories 13.

Yoshi's Woolly World, Yoshi's New Island, Mario & Luigi Dream Team, Paper Jam and Superstar Saga, Paper Mario Sticker Star, Ever Oasis, Bravely Default, Code of Princess, Zelda OoT, MM, triforce heros, a link between worlds, Fantasy Life, etc.... and thats only 3DS Games. There are tons of other just DS games that are just phenomenal that even at 34 years old and having a switch and having my 3ds for years I'll never not be excited to replay again and again. I'll never ever give up my 3ds and 3ds xl.

My top 5 3ds games 5. Kingdom Heart's: Dream Drop Distance 4. a link between worlds 3. Ocarina of time 3d 2. Monster Hunter Stories 1. The Legend of Zelda: Majoras Mask 3d.
I think this is my favorite console ever, it’s so nostalgic and even tho I’m 14 I find most of the games better than most cod’s and popular games that you can find on Xbox or pc
not really innovative(because 3DS did it first) but that would be great(at least imo). But most ppl didn't actually used the 3D Mode. So even if Nintendo would make a 3D Switch, most ppl put that option off. I also played most of the 3DS Games with 3D on, but because it's "not really needed", ppl ignores it. That's also why they are searching for a New 2DS XL instead of a New 3DS/XL
Definitely had so many memories and definitely has many and many amazing games and had some of the best games in a lot of franchises 10/10 system will always remember it
IMHO Ocarina of Time is the greatest game of all time so it absolutely deserves the top spot, even if it's still just a remaster. However, I don't think Majora's Mask has aged all that well over the years so my #2 would have to be Link Between
thanks for the list. I have a Switch but I still love bringing my 3DS XL with me when i travel. It's built tough... the battery lasts... idk. I just like it. I don't think i'll ever sell it.

@@crystaloliverproductions1339 - Same! I play my Nintendo Switch in handheld mode at home, but outside and during travels, till this day, I still carry my Nintendo 3DS with me. Currently trying to get ALL level 4+ weapons for each character. I will go back to Monster Hunter 4: Ultimate and Fantasy Life soon. I still have to collect the letters KONG in the (brutal) K levels of Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D. The N3DS is a great dedicated handheld, but it is still missing genre’s I like, such as a real NBA basketball game, games like Contra and Metal Slug, and side-scrolling beat em ups like Final Fight and Streets of Rage, although SoR 2 3D is available via the éShop.

0:30 for someone praising professor Layton you didn't realize that you're discribing "Professor Layton vs Ace Attorney" but list and show gameplay for "Professor Layton Miracle Mask"?? XD
Great list. My only criticism here would be that Fire Emblem Fates gets included but only by being put next to awakening, in the same way they treat pokemon x and y. The difference here is that where pokemon x and y are essentially the same game, awakening and fates are different games, otherwise why do we have 3 different places for different pokemon titles. So by right fates should hold it's own place or all pokemon games should only take 1 spot here
Booted my 3DS again after 3 years. Of course, I'm replaying Metal Gear Solid 3D. MH4U was amazing, especially when you're playing with your friends. It's what broke my shoulder buttons, though. Good times!
Nice list, although I’m neither a Zelda nor JRPG fan, yet there are still a ton of greats here. I’d have Luigis Mansion in my top 3, along with Steam World Heist, and maybe Shovel Knight.

I HIGHLY recommend to everyone with a DS, DSLite, DSi, 2DS, 3DS, etc, to play ALL of Professor Layton games. They are by far my favorite game franchise and i know that if you give it a try you'll love em too. The characters are lovely, the game handle like a cellphone puzzle game but with an interesting story and anime cinematics. PLEASE give em a try. If a Layton game comes out for the switch then im buying the console just to play it for sure!
@@marythelioness3120 😂😂 best way. So easy to do.
Don't forget Katrielle!
I'll have to check it out
is already on switch lol, you should buy a switch anyway, its great.
I still adore my 3ds and 3ds xl. I have tons of games and won't ever ever ever stop playing them or get rid of them. Even with my switch in mind... you can pry my 3ds xl out of cold dead hands.
i'd like to ask you a favour. have many blue eyed babies and keep them that way for all its descendents lineage
i really like the 3d screen without using glasses,
i think that 3d effect is pretty good and so innovative on that era.
3DS is a very unique and irreplaceable handheld.
Hopefully another console can recreate that type of innovation in the near future
I would also add Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadow of Valentia, Resident Evil Revelations, Castlevania Mirror of Fate and Kirby Planet Robobot.
I'm getting Castlevania Mirror of Fate in a few days. Super happy to play it!!☺
@@powerpanda6446 I hope you enjoy it, it's such a great game!
Def the first one
I’ve always regretted trading in my 3ds for a discount on the switch. Sure, I love my switch, but I never really got to dive into all these great games. Can’t wait to get my hands on another one.
the prices are going up like crazy you should buy one now before they’re even more expensive
I love how the Duology of the Hero of Time take the top 2 spots! Magnificent
Metroid Samus Returns should be way higher on this list if you ask me.
Facts, especially since the gameplay is so similar to dread which is finally coming out soon and also cause its the most dramatic remake compared to the original by far and also the oldest.
Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask got the description of Professor Layton vs Ace Attorney.
Slight mix up.
I was looking to see if anyone caught this.
The only reason Samus Returns had such lackluster sales was due to coming out on the 3DS at the tail end of its lifespan when it should have been on the Switch instead.
If more people had known about Fantasy Life, it would certainly be in, at least, the top 25. What a shame.
I really don't get the hype around that gane. I thought it sucked.
I was really hyped by it but when I got my hands on it I felt like it was a jack of all trades, master of none, every single mechanic felt lackluster and not deep enough
Yess it's still in my top 3 lol i love that game too much
@@TheSorrel same
hate fantasy life so much
First game showed: "Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask"
Perfect timing, we're gonna need this
Im missing Ever Oasis.The 3ds has the best library of games with the Ds backwards compability
This Game will end as a "hidden gem" on most 3DS lists. I also have it in my collection and you still can get it cheap from ebay. But it's sad, that most ppl not even know it exists...
@@UndeadCollector ever oasis , fantasy life and the fossil fighter series are indefinably some of the most underrated and best games from the ds and 3ds
@@hobojoe5981 I actually play Fantasy Life right now on 3DS. The Content is huge. But i also see why it should be played with other ppl, because doing all "Lifes"(Jobs) alone take alot of time. My play time reached 100h+ already.
Ahh this brought up lots of good memories for the console that actually got me back into console gaming. I broke out the 3ds recently to finally play Persona Q2, and that ones a blast after Playing Persona 4 and 5. Another of my personal honorable mentions to Etrean Oddesy 4 (but they’re all great if you like this style of game). Great list, thanks!
q2 requires you to have played at least 80 hours of persona 3,4 and 5 but it's very much worth
You didnt play the first q?
So many games are still waiting to be played! I loved LoZ:BotW on the switch. The only other zelda game ive ever played was way back nintendo DS era. Now I'm gonna start with majora's mark and A link between worlds. There are some games I have fond memories of but can no longer enjoy since i can't play with/against my friends anymore.
They forgot Resident Evil Revelations, one of the best of the series
The Nintendo 3DS is my all-time favorite handheld. My favorite games are the following:
1. Monster Hunter 4: Ultimate
2. Fantasy Life
3. Stella Glow
4. Samus Returns: Metroid
5. Animal Crossing: New Leaf
6. Mario Kart 7
7. Yo Kai Watch
8. Fire Emblem: Awakening

A great selection of games paired with memories always makes for a lovely experience to look back on
I really like your top, even if there's no EO and SMT games there. I mean, Metroid, Stella Glow, deserve those places.
@@puzzle_boy the complete list is on whatoplay.com/3ds/best/2, you might find some of those titles down the list
whatoplay - Thanks!
Puzzle Boy - I actually own those games, but have yet to open/play yet.
25 is Miracle Mask not Ace Attorney vs Layton. Wrong description
I was hoping some one else would have noticed too!
Yoshi's Woolly World, Yoshi's New Island, Mario & Luigi Dream Team, Paper Jam and Superstar Saga, Paper Mario Sticker Star, Ever Oasis, Bravely Default, Code of Princess, Zelda OoT, MM, triforce heros, a link between worlds, Fantasy Life, etc.... and thats only 3DS Games. There are tons of other just DS games that are just phenomenal that even at 34 years old and having a switch and having my 3ds for years I'll never not be excited to replay again and again. I'll never ever give up my 3ds and 3ds xl.
Heyyyy my new 2ds came in yesterday perfect timing for me to see this vid😂
Did you find a new "new 2ds" or a used One? How much did you pay for It? I ask this only because it's hard for me to find new modells After Nintendo has discontinued the 3ds
@@damidiquattro1687 ya I couldn’t find anything new either, I just ended up get a used one off of eBay

Hey ... what exactly Ace Attorney has to do with The Miracle Mask (n.25) ?
You guys wrote the wrong description for the game.
The game that combines both franchises is Layton vs Phoenix Wright, not Miracle Mask.
3. The Legend of Zelda
2. The Legend of Zelda
1. The Legend of Zelda
I'll never forgive Nintendo for making Super Metroid exclusive to the "New" 3DS but I can play Samus Returns on my "Old" 3DS.
and here i am playing legend of zelda on my nintendo 3ds got motion sickness and stop playing it literally
Turn the 3d effect off
Very Good. Thank you very Much!!
We're glad you like it. 😊

@@nicolasrambeau1661 me too ... I played all above games . ST IV AND ST IV apocalypse are my best game.
I would add somewhere there MonHun Stories, it is an awesome RPG
Why is 4 better then apocalypse only played apocalypse.
@@NueThunderKing Haven't played it yet that's why. But I'm interested.
Resident evil revelation, Tekken ,Metal gear solid 3, Dead or alive , Spider man, Megaman...
Castlevania mirror of fate was one hell of a game too
On the 3ds you could play the 4-7 Pokémon generations. Really a Pokémon fans dream.
Farther than that, you can get gen 1 and 2 on the eshop through the store
@@Immortalangel14 oh yeah true
@@thelonelydekuscrub4817 I even modded mine so I have gen 3 also every pokemon game even the gameboy spinoffs on my 3ds (except the n64 games)
Fantasy Life and Ever Oasis are a MUST too.
YES
THANK YOU. Code of Princess and Bravely Default are also perfection. Honestly those 4 games are really hard to decide which one is my favorite.
Even with roms you won't get the 3d effect without a 3ds system. One of the best systems made.
Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Yeah... a Mega Drive Game for 3DS. I know this list is made by votes, but if i compare the "best Games of a System" it should be exclusive, otherwise you must fill the other places with good VC SNES Games too, lol.
I've always thought the same thing. Best games lists should be made up of exclusives and/or games who's definitive version is on the console.
Kid Icarus Uprising is easily top 5
For real, even as a lefty I still have it up there as one of the bests.
@@thatguy2757 can you actually play it as a lefty? I've been on the fence about getting it for that reason
@@arnavvanish it has been like 8 years since I played it so I don’t remember exactly how I played it but yes it is possible. I remember it being a learning curve at first but you’ll get it eventually. You may even have to use your right hand but you get used to it.
This Channel is great! Thanks guys
Thank you. We're glad you enjoy it.
Seeing "final update" in the title breaks my heart
"The last MH game on 3ds..."
MHGen vanilla: Am i a joke to you?
What else is there mh gen chocolate? Stupid
I still have my 3ds xl and I bought tomodachi life and acnl recently and I use it quite frequently even tho I have a switch lol
Same!! But I wish I had more games on the ds, I have more games for the switch
You can hack it
Why is Omega Ruby higher than Alpha Sapphire? Shouldn't they be the same?
Ominous probably Omega Ruby has different Pokemon that were considered worth catching than Alpha Sapphire's, I guess.
@@johnbakasmoothhotchocolate I guess
Ominous they're both equally great still, despite their different scores.
Surprised none of the Mario & Luigi games (ex. Dream Team) didn't make the list
neh.. Mario e Luigi é muito bom

dude! monster hunter stories should've been on this list! open world, a beautiful story, cool mechanics, easily one of my top 10 games on the 3DS
Monster hunter series in 3ds rocks
I think this is my favorite console ever, it’s so nostalgic and even tho I’m 14 I find most of the games better than most cod’s and popular games that you can find on Xbox or pc
Yeah, Im 16 and Ive had this for most of my life
Same I'm also 14
Wow, thx - this is legit list. Got a plenty of idea what I wanna play ❤️
Just imagine a switch pro coming with a 3D feature without needing glasses. That would be truly innovative
not really innovative(because 3DS did it first) but that would be great(at least imo). But most ppl didn't actually used the 3D Mode. So even if Nintendo would make a 3D Switch, most ppl put that option off.
I also played most of the 3DS Games with 3D on, but because it's "not really needed", ppl ignores it. That's also why they are searching for a New 2DS XL instead of a New 3DS/XL
I doubt theyll do it. If they did that, youll only be able to play 3d in handheld mode and not while the sysytem is docked.
3D Mario land: Am I a joke to you?
Found it funny how you read professor layton vs phoenix Wright for miracle mask
The metroid game was very late in the lifetime, why are you addressing it as a first gen game
I love my 3ds xl more than my switch if I’m being honest
Definitely had so many memories and definitely has many and many amazing games and had some of the best games in a lot of franchises 10/10 system will always remember it
Try getting lumacfw on there and it’ll be your favorite console of all time
IMHO Ocarina of Time is the greatest game of all time so it absolutely deserves the top spot, even if it's still just a remaster. However, I don't think Majora's Mask has aged all that well over the years so my #2 would have to be Link Between
thanks for the list. I have a Switch but I still love bringing my 3DS XL with me when i travel. It's built tough... the battery lasts... idk. I just like it. I don't think i'll ever sell it.
I still play Monster Hunter 4: Ultimate, Stella Glow, Fantasy Life, Mario Kart 7, Super Street Fighter IV 3D, Samus Returns: Metroid, Hyrule Legends, and Ridge Racer 3D.
I know, right? I love playing my switch in bed or on the couch but if i’m going somewhere, I’d rather bring my 2ds or 2ds xl.
@@crystaloliverproductions1339 - Same! I play my Nintendo Switch in handheld mode at home, but outside and during travels, till this day, I still carry my Nintendo 3DS with me. Currently trying to get ALL level 4+ weapons for each character. I will go back to Monster Hunter 4: Ultimate and Fantasy Life soon. I still have to collect the letters KONG in the (brutal) K levels of Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D.
The N3DS is a great dedicated handheld, but it is still missing genre’s I like, such as a real NBA basketball game, games like Contra and Metal Slug, and side-scrolling beat em ups like Final Fight and Streets of Rage, although SoR 2 3D is available via the éShop.
I bought mine one year ago and I play it daily. Even when I bought a switch a couple weeks ago.
I’m surprised Donkey Kong country return isn’t on it, it’s as amazing game
Does all of this fit a 64gb sd card?
Most 3DS games are around 1 GB and less, so yes
3ds sadly doesn't recognise a 64 GB card; found that out after finally figuring out how to acces it on my new 3ds XL a couple of days ago.
32 is their max
@@Raenaece dude look up a video on UA-cam on how to swap sd cards in a 3ds, cos the guy tells you how to format the card so that the 3ds recognises it!
I knew Ocarina would be 1! I am pleased.
Same
My friend just gave me my first 3Ds ever, i can’t wait to play all those games, I don’t care if the console is old, to me it is brand new
A friend also give me mine for my birthday :)
0:30 for someone praising professor Layton you didn't realize that you're discribing "Professor Layton vs Ace Attorney" but list and show gameplay for "Professor Layton Miracle Mask"?? XD
Great list. My only criticism here would be that Fire Emblem Fates gets included but only by being put next to awakening, in the same way they treat pokemon x and y. The difference here is that where pokemon x and y are essentially the same game, awakening and fates are different games, otherwise why do we have 3 different places for different pokemon titles. So by right fates should hold it's own place or all pokemon games should only take 1 spot here
Wait, has the 3DS really been out that long? Holy shit
I am buying a jail broken 3ds and wanted to know which games to install, thanks!
Why does OR have a slightly higher rating than AS? Theyre the same game with minor differences to each other...
Because Groudon >>> Kyogre
Booted my 3DS again after 3 years. Of course, I'm replaying Metal Gear Solid 3D. MH4U was amazing, especially when you're playing with your friends. It's what broke my shoulder buttons, though. Good times!
Give the peace sign everytime he gives the playscore
My new 3ds XL is arriving this week hopefully. Cant waif to play all of theses especially Zelda games and ACNL
2021 and I bought a new 2ds XL. Got Monster Hunter 3U,4U, and Stories. Def wanna grab zero escape, shin megami tensei IV and some others on this list
@Za Ka is it safe though?
i cant decide on what to buy, ps4 or new nintendo 3ds xl. Whats in your opinion is better?
Definitely 3ds XL and then just mod it
Nice video!
Nice list, although I’m neither a Zelda nor JRPG fan, yet there are still a ton of greats here.
I’d have Luigis Mansion in my top 3, along with Steam World Heist, and maybe Shovel Knight.
Fire emblem awakening is the true number 1. I'm a big zelda fan, but c'mon... Seems unfair to throw ports into the number 1 and 2 spot
3DS forever will be one of best consoles ever
Im hopefully getting a 3ds asap to play some of the pokemon games. also excited to see some of the other great games there are on here
