![]() ![]() It's one of the things I dislike about Super Mario Galaxy. I did enjoy the challenge factor and overall still thought it was the best Mario game I had played since Sunshine but was bummed at the time that it wasn't a lot of new level content. When playing the game, I found out that a lot of those levels were ones I had already played in the first 8 worlds but with a twist to them to make them harder. I had heard people saying great things about it and new there was this other section of the game after beating the first 8 so my mind thrilled at the possibility of these extra levels. I was kind of disappointed with the 2nd half of Mario 3D Land. Nintendo doesn't do that as much anymore but the latest Metroid 2: Samus Returns trailer reminds me of that early time on the 3DS. Speaking of E3, I also appreciated being able to download the trailers for upcoming 3DS games like Paper Mario: Sticker Star and Luigi's Mansion 2 and watch what they looked like in actual 3D action. There were even 3D Movie trailers put on the system which was quite unusual to see on a Nintendo system. There was also the odd Nintendo Video service with Dinosaur Office and other 3D shorts. Nikki was the newest Nintendo waifu to be launched on the masses and that was her peak time of popularity. Plus, stationary was a big thing with people trading Friend Codes just so that someone would send them a message with that stationary so that they could save it in their system to use. That strange little app kept me checking in with my 3DS a lot during the sparse opening year to see what new messages people were sending me. ![]() No mention of SwapNote in the system's first year? How can you chronicle the 3DS's lifespan and not talk about it? :'( Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan (February 2013).The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D (June 2011).Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon (March 2013).Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call (September 2014).The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds (November 2013).It’s directed by the same guy who made Ghost Trick, so I really need to play it. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney for a year or two now. Lastly, I’ve been sitting on a copy of Professor Layton vs. World Tour is still a very good golf game and combined with the DLC, has a ton of content. I think Kirby: Triple Deluxe was bested by its 2016 sequel, but Mario Golf: World Tour is probably still worth a look, even if the fun online multiplayer fervor has died down. It’s a weird aquarium of a video game that, frankly, I don’t think I’ve seen any other game do so insanely. ![]() Tomodachi Life, even in the shadow of Miitopia, is probably worth checking out if you missed it. While I think I’d rather play my Shovel Knight elsewhere now, the 3DS version is fantastic and is only missing the multiplayer. It’s also a fantastic way to rekindle Final Fantasy nostalgia without spending dozens of hours replaying games. September closed with the majesty of Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call as well as the neat puzzler Tappingo 2.įirst off, Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call is probably my favorite rhythm game ever made. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney was the only big Nintendo release after June, bringing out the crossover of two venerable Nintendo-friendly franchises. Bike Rider DX2: Galaxy even netted a 10/10 on Nintendo World Report. Shovel Knight heralded a bit more of a focus on indie games for the summer on 3DS, including Nicalis’ Grinsia and 1001 Spikes, Saturnine’s Turtle Tale, and Inti Creates’ Azure Striker Gunvolt and Mighty Gunvolt. Shovel Knight also launched on 3DS, among other platforms. June brought more intriguing 3DS games, with Tomodachi Life bringing the popular Japanese series over to America to shockingly good results. World Tour was one of the best Mario sports games of the generation, especially compared to the other 3DS releases. In early May, Kirby: Triple Deluxe and Mario Golf: World Tour came out, bringing old-fashioned 2D Kirby action to the stereoscopic third-dimension as well as another entry in the Mario sports lineage. As spring turned to summer in 2014, the 3DS saw a steady stream of good games, at least from Nintendo. ![]()
