Zelda FTW
Yay Zelda!!! Hopefully Nintendo will take Minish Cap next, and port it into 3D!
MC was only for N3DS Ambassadors… I hope they release ALTTP or the Oracles ):
But Super Mario Bros is not!and even LoZ!!!!
Yeah man i hope they do the oracles games again they were awesome :D i cant remember what happend to my copys though :(
I have six of them!
Farst!
No shit
Eight out of ten are made by Nintendo. They really are the only reason to buy a 3DS.
Thats kind of a bad thing. Talented third party developers won’t develop for Nintendo because they’ll never sell as good
thats only cause Nintendo’s first party games are soo awesome that 3rd party developers are just totally outclassed and cant compete with them :P
I have 4 of those, plan to get another 3, and 3 I’m not interested in.
I’ve got the top 3 plus Kirby’s dream land,i didn’t pay for Excitebike,that came free when the 3DS was launched.
Is freakyforms better than Pushmp?
They are totally different kind of games, so you can’t say one is better than the other. It depends on what genre you wanna play.
To be honest, I own both and yes, Pullblox is better than freakyforms.
Pullblox would be flippin perfect if it only had friend list and streetpass support.
do you like Puzzle games better? If yes then Pushmo. Do you like adventure/platform games better? And able to design your own characters? If yes, then Freakyforms. Based on that, I loved Pushmo much much more than Freakyforms (I have both)
well duh! you cant really like them if you dont have them
well would you look at that. the top 3 games there are some of the first ones to come out. looks like nintendo made a good choice of games to start out on the eshop
I agree
I just downloaded Link’s Awakening and Metroid 2, two games i’m playing for the first time :)
Hey what’s your 3ds friend code? I’ve been seeing you around here a lot lately.
Here’s my FC’s profile: http://www.friendcodes.com/forums/members/2423/bluekai.htm
I own the first 6 and no. 9 they are great!
Same thing for me!
how about they bring games that people actually want to play in the vc. guarantee they’ll make more moola.
I have all of the top five
These numbers have no source. At all.

Why not click on the hyper links? they show the sources.
Gotta love the classics. Glad to see Nintendo can still make money off of their old games. Despite posting losses last year Nintendo is doing well. Hoping to ride that wave all the way to the Wii U.
Leave luck to heaven.
I see what you did there
I’m going to be doing that at the end of all of my posts now. Hope people don’t get pissed.
I’m pissed.
Pingback: Here's The Top Ten Most Downloaded Nintendo 3DS eShop Games … | Nintendo 3DS Release Date
2012 will be much better
there was next to nothing to download during the most part of 2011
Cool, I have seven of them…
…and even with Japanese catered games the Vita fails to sell over 20K!!! No wonder why Japanese developer is jumping ship and leaving the Titanic aka PS:Vita!!!
I only have the 9th and 1st
I heard that the PS:Vita finally has a built-in touch-screen
And a touch pad on most of the back surface of the unit as well. I played with a demo one at future shop today. pretty slick. Still too expensive though
they need to create a way to download 3DS games to the 3DS handheld from the eShop, like the PS3 does for it’s games.
im still waiting for colors 3d >:( how long is it gona take
I wish they would just find the time to delay other games and speed up the development of the new program. go to xtranormal.com and you will find funny videos and create funny videos. its totally free. [just like the flipnote memo is SUPPOSED to be] ):[
