What Nintendo 3DS games should you pick up at launch?

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/feature/25866

After months of anticipation, Nintendo’s latest handheld gaming device is now available in all major markets around the world. With Nintendo reserving many of its heavy-hitting franchises until later in the year, the launch window for the Nintendo 3DS is primarily in the hands of the third-parities.

With so many publishers releasing games at launch, it is hard to keep track of them all! Well, in order to keep things straight, we have assembled a list of launch games as well as a description of each game so you know what to pick up alongside of your new handheld.

To make the task of picking our games to purchase easier, we have given a verdict on each piece of software: Worth A Purchase or Skip It.

Are all of these based on first-hand experience with the games or are there some guesses in there?

Decisions, decisions. I haven't picked up a 3DS yet, partly due to time constraints, but a lot of it has to do with the divisiveness of the reviews. Almost every launch game has had positive and negative reviews, which has left me umm-ing and err-ing.


I'm most tempted by Ghost Recon, apparently the surprise hit of the bunch, and as it's one of the games in the Amazon bundle, I could get it for £15. The thing holding me back is that I've read on two websites that there are frequent freezing problems.

Freezing problems in Ghost Recon?  I haven't heard anything about that.  Ghost Recon is already at my house and Pilotwings is coming with my 3DS.  I've heard bad things about the Sims 3 which is a shame because I'd love to have it on the go but the framerate is just awful.
