I've never owned a DS, and I'll be picking up pic related sometime this month.
Instead of just asking for recommendations, simply post your five favorite games from the DS/3DS library.
>>283858156
Nintendogs
Fire Emblem Awakening
Zelda: Any of them
SMT 4
Kirby Triple Deluxe
Senran Kagura
In no particular order.
>>283858156
Ace Attorney 1-3
Devil Survivor (Overclocked)
Crosswords Plus
The world ends with you
Smt 4 and strange journey
Both monster hunters (4 best)
Any Zelda game, they're all petty good for both 3ds and ds
Elite brat agents
Zelda
SMT 4
>Pokemon
But unless you want to play the new ones or want to transfer old pokemon into new ones, just emulate, if you care enough, get platinum, Heart Gold, and Black 2
>Bravely Default
>Monster hunter
If you can't find 4 for sale (I didn't), you can try 3U but they really upped the content in 4U
Just curios, what was the last nintendo handheld you owned, if any?
>>283858156
The World Ends With You
Monster Hunter 4U
Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire if you've never played the originals, Pokemon X/Y if you have
Phoenix Wright 1
Picross (Any of them)

GBA. I guess I've borrowed a friend's DS for like a month, but that's not enough to tell if I wanted one myself.
Is there any reason to upgrade to the >new< 3ds xl over the old 3ds xl
>>283859964
Not really. Load times are nice, but not worth spending almost $220 for that alone

>>283858156
i got a gateway now so i got a bunch of shit i can start going through without post-purchase rationalization. monster hunter 4 is the only game i've actually invested a decent amount of time on my 3ds with.
>>283860791the c-stick is just another joystick anon.
>>283861197
>>283860791
