Popular online video game site Game Trailers have listed their top ten all time favourite Nintendo 3DS games. Topping the list is the critically acclaimed The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds which came out late last year. What do you think to their list?
10. Shin Megami Tensei IV
09. Etrian Odyssey IV
08. Animal Crossing New Leaf
07. Super Mario 3D Land
06. Mario Kart 7
05. Luigi’s Mansion Dark Moon
04. Bravely Default
03. Pokemon XY
02. Fire Emblem Awakening
01. The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
ok…
I must say this at the top:
NO KID ICARUS UPRSING??? WHAT! THIS IS INVALID ! lol………seriously that should be at least 10th.
also, imo, mk7 shouldn’t be THAT high up.
I AGREE.KID ICARUS IS MY ALL TIME FAVOURITE GAME.
I agree with most of their opinions and while Kid Icarus is a good game, it never got the advertising and fanbase it deserved. Still, this is THEIR Opinion.
I was going to say the list is great (I might reorder it a little) but you are right. KIUprising must go on the list!!
I think since the controls were so innovative, you either loved them or hated them. I thought they were amazing.
Only thing I disagree with is Luigi’s Mansion. I hated that game with passion.
I like it, but it’s worthless compared to the original. That little love affair the 3DS had with episodic gameplay was awful. It ruined Paper Mario Sticker Star.
Aw god, that game… I like Luigi’s Mansion, but just like you said, the episodic game play ruined it. I never got in to Paper Mario, mostly because it was not [i]Paper Mario[/i].
I honestly don’t think I have ever been more disappointed in my life than I was when I played Sticker Star. To this day I still haven’t progressed passed world 3. It’s such tripe and the first two especially were utterly perfect (I still like SPM). I was astounded that the series could decline that much.
Yeah, I hated that as well. It killed any sort of mood the game built. I know the idea was short little bursts of playtime, but you can go to the home menu, you can close the 3DS. You could just SAVE and then turn it off if they went down that road. There were so many better options.
I completely disagree, Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon was absolute perfection, it’s still my favorite 3DS title so far.
Not surprising that Zelda is in first lol.
Zeldas overrated
Noooo, call of duty or battlefield is.
battle field is better than zelda.
not it nooooot :)
“no”
Battlefield is noting compared to Ocarina of Time. That game was boss. A Link Between Worlds looks great. Played it on my uncle’s 3DS and enjoyed it.
Why did you compare two different games? Battlefield is a first person shooter while Zelda is an action adventure. Get off the Internet because you’re nothing more than a broken record who insults people for liking a company you hate. Your sorry excuses for trolling don’t work either. If you like Microsoft, that’s fine. But, you shouldn’t force us to start hating Nintendo because you like Microsoft.
No it isn’t, but I still think Kid Icarus is better…
The online multiplayer in Kid Icarus is so damn fun.
Agreed, and pretty smooth most of the times…
I know there’s barley any lag (at least for me). It’s funny because the online multiplayer is a lot like Smash Bros.
The online in MK7 is just as smooth, I hope Smash Brothers for both our machines are atleast 4 times better than the Wii…
Well I’m not alone in that aspect. I really hope the online is better than the brawl version.
Sakurai is not a fucktard, he is definitely NOT going to pull a brawl on this one.
He is cute too…
I didn’t say he was…just what he said in the direct kinda scares me of Brawls online reborn…
The WiiU’s online makes the Wii’s online seem like an old junk car…well, it was horrible…a few games did ok, but the Wii was a horrible online machine.
Excellent, then I will have no trouble beating every single one of you up…

You wish you can sir…I bore of this, FACE ME!!
Indeed it is.
I want a 3DS player for Wii U
Not surprising how 2013’s most overrated game took 1st.
But kudos to Fire Emblem and Bravely Default for placing so high on the list.
Have you played ALBW?
Yes I have. Got it in December and played through it once. Most boring Zelda game I’ve ever played, so I ended up selling it back. I immediately went back to playing Wind Waker.
i tried to play ALBW. after the first dungeon i stoped playing that game.
Hm. I personally didn’t find it to be that boring and I actually really liked the game. The only boring part was trying to beat that damn octoball mini game to get the Piece of Heart.
Well I appreciate the honest feedback, rather than criticizing a game heavily when you haven’t played it.
Could it be you just don’t like 2D Zelda games?
No, because he doesn’t have 3DS, so technically he lied and hasn’t played it at all.
I hope you’re not referring to me. I love the 3DS. It’s currently my favorite system out there. Fire Emblem Awakening, Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, and Bravely Default are some of my favorites.
Of course not, its about the Narutard.
Oh okay. Thanks Admiral.
I hope you’re not talking about me. I did play it. Just once through, and ended up giving it back. To be honest, it was my first 2D Zelda, and I think I can say that I don’t like the style.
Yeah that was original style though, the 3d ones are better but I prefer the originals…
Read my comment again :P I wasn’t criticizing you or anything.
Yeah I misread it…..my bad.
All good :P
Yeah. I’m glad they didn’t put 3DLand higher and I agree that ALBW is so overrated. I mean it was a good game just like 3DLand but it wasn’t THAT good.
I have not played some of these, but LBW was my GOTY last year, right above Pikmin 3. Animal Crossing, Fire Emblem and Mario Kart 7 is also pretty high on the list.
What are you talking about? I didn’t see GTA V on that list.
Good list. Fire emblem and a link between worlds are the two best without question. Which one is better? I can’t decide
I disagree with Luigi’s Mansion. It is really over rated. Mario kart 7 has replay value.
Luigi’s Mansion was okay, but I agree with Mario Kart 7, playing it all the time! Cannot wait for MK8, looks so much better.
I stopped playing MK7 a year or so ago because I got KI: Uprising, Luigi’s Mansion, 3D Land, Pokemon Y, two Professor Layton games, Zelda ALBW, Dragon Quest IX, and then a bunch of Wii U games… but I’ve recently gone back to it and played for tens of hours in anticipation of Mario Kart 8 haha.
I got my 3DS in February 2013. Since then I have completed Pokémon Y, 3D Land, Professor Layton (Miracle Mask), Zelda LBW and Luigi’s Mansion. I also played quite a bit Kid Icarus, but I could never get into it, might try later. Along with Fire Emblem (still haven’t completed it, currently playing), Animal Crossing, and a bunch of Wii U games, I have played quite a bit of Mario Kart 7. Cannot wait for MK8!
Why still no Luigis mansion for Wii u????
I was sure it would trickle through late in the year of luigi =(
Zero escape: virtue’s last reward isn’t on this list, just criminal lol
VLR is awesome!
Had more of a cult following. It likely won’t make a list like this, but it was fantastic.
Kid Icarus Uprising didn’t make it? Shame…
Zero Escape and OoT 3D all deserve a place on there – and AA vs PL would be on a personal favourites list of mine. Pokémon is too high but does deserve the list. Seems like a jRPG or two could be dropped. I think the top two are the stand-out games.
No Kid Icarus = dumb list.
In addition to being of comparable quality to every other game on the list (unjustified complaints about the controls notwithstanding), it’s by far the most original and inventive game I’ve played in years. There’s nothing else like it.
Agreed, it’s still my favorite game on the 3DS…
My friend has Kid Icarus. I’ll delete his password and add you. Idc what he says! Lol.
Good good…
Do it better GAWD xP
He has luigi’s mansion as well. And i’m pretty good at kid icarus with my crusader blade. You?
I’m good with anything…
*wink*
They must not have gotten used to the controls, but I agree with the both of you.
Replace Bravely Disappoint with Kid Icarus Uprising. None of the other games make you replay it five times just to finish it, like BD.
They put ALBW at the wrong end of the list. They accidentally switched it with SMT:IV.
Replace Luigi’s Mansion with Kid Icarus then it would be a perfect list.
I enjoyed Luigi’s Mansion though…
Me too, but it was a bit boring.
What was your favorite Mansion to explore? Mines is the Haunted Towers.
The first boss, the Clock boss was fun to battle but I think I enjoyed the Ice levels the most…
This list was likely made by someone who’s never played a 3DS game and made the list using Metacritic or something similar. Otherwise, Street Fighter IV, Kid Icarus, Resident Evil: Revelations and Snake Eater would have made the list, not to mention all the indie games they left out.
Don’t go around accusing ppl of not owning a 3ds, etc. just cus ur favorite game didn’t make it on the list or they don’t like the same genres as u! There’s some games I liked that didn’t make it on the list, and you don’t see me crying about it–and I’m 8 and a girl! -.- ugh.
If you’re actually an 8 year old, I wouldn’t expect you to understand how ridiculous this list is. You’re not even old enough to play most of the games on the list, let alone three of the games that belong on this list.
Wow talk abt discrimination! -,-
you sure got a selfish and self absorbed way of thinking. seriously i own and beat all these games and can even tell u the end, theyre not that hard to beat. i played kid icarus metal gear solid cave story 3d (still playing this) tekken and a bunch more that i liked that didnt make it on the list, but do you see me winning abt it no. you can learn a few things from this 8 year old girl. :D just cus someone doesnt like the same things you do doesnt mean they haven’t played or own it. -,-
You ought to spend less time playing video games and more time paying attention in English class. Your grammar is atrocious.
There’s only one reason these games are on this list; popularity. Sites like Gametrailers have no reason to highlight higher quality, less popular games because they don’t increase the traffic to their website. All anybody has to do is say ‘ALBW is the best game evah’ and Nintendo fans flock to it. It’s sheep mentality.
Look at how far up Bravely Default is on the list. Anyone that’s played that game knows it’s one of the weaker RPGs on the system, but because it’s made by Square Enix, has a high Metacritic rating and impressive sales, it’s suddenly the fourth best game on the system.
This list is clickbait, pure and simple.
In lieu of actually defending your position, you just attack the person making an opposing argument. I think you are the 8 year old.
Takes one to know one. In lieu of reading the entire comment thread, you based your assessment of my argument based on the first two sentences.
The term you’re searching for is ‘Straw Man Argument,’ which I freely admit to engaging in, because why the fuck should I use logic to argue with someone claiming to be an 8 year old that can’t spell or use proper punctuation?
Fire Emblem Awakening for me.
So happy I own all of these games, except for Etrian Odyssey, but I’ll try to get it next eShop sale.
Yea I don’t see the appeal in Bravely Default I just couldn’t get into it, though the artstyle is pretty.At least from what I played in the demo.
Though I’m glad to see Etrian Odyssey on that list, a once niche series is becoming a bit more mainstream. I love the sparse story in those games, makes you question the few times an important piece of text is shown and use your imagination to piece together the overall scope of things.
Shin Megami Tensei IV was alright, but gets pretty repititive pretty fast due to the enviroment for me,would of been nice if they had more varied locations and overworlds(I’ve been spoiled by Etrian Odyssey and their unique stratums/floors). They do switch up the overworld a few times, but it hardly lasts very long and by then you’re pretty much midway/close to finishing the game depending on the route you take.
For me:
1. Shin Megami Tensei IV
2. Kid Icarus
3. Zero Escape: Virtual Last Reward
4. Zelda ALBW
5, MK7
6. Etrian Odyssey
7. Animal Crossing
8. Fire Emblem Awakening
9. Luigi Mansion
10. Super Mario 3d land
Booo! Y no Pokémon?
I enjoy Pokemon. I just like it less than those games
Fair enough.
a solid list.
Kid Icarus Uprisng? No? Missin out there.
I would place Fire Emblem at number 1 and ALBT at 2nd, I was hoping to see Kid Icarus in that Top 10…

I am a bit surprised that Kid Icarus isn’t in the Top 10, though I will admit that the charm has worn off a bit since release. It started out as my favorite 3DS game, but the sheer quality of everything since has forced it down to probably 8th on my list.
Still a good game though.
The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds– Game of the Year by Gamespot.com
Gamespot said it; therefore it must be true!
Mmh… Yeah, a legit top 10 I guess.
OoT 3D and Virtue’s Last Reward should be there though imo, but I guess they didn’t consider it as “exclusives”.
No Kid Icarus in the top 3?
What about Mario and Luigi Dream Team? That destroys 3D land
No Monster Hunter 3U. Bad list
