Topic: Two Years Later...

[UncleBob]

I'm curious, two years later, what does your 3DS collection look like?

Not including digital downloads or duplicate games, I've gathered a collection of 25 retail purchases (that's like one a month!  Weird.  Totally not something I've budgeted or something...)  If you throw in "retail" downloads, you can add two more to that.

So, what does my collection consist of?

First Party:
Art Academy*
Crosswords Plus ^D
Freakyforms Deluxe*
Kid Icarus: Uprising
-Kid Icarus: Uprising Canadian Version
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
Mario Kart 7
-Mario Kart 7 #2**
Mario Tennis Open
New Super Mario Bros. 2 ^D
Nintendogs: Toy Poodle
-Nintendogs: French Bulldog*
-Nintendogs: Golden Retriever*
Pilotwings Resort*
Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask
Paper Mario: Sticker Star*
Spirit Camera*
Starfox 3D**
Steeldiver*
Super Mario 3D Land
Tetris: Axis*

3rd Party:
Adventure Time
Centipede: Infestation*
Crush 3D
Heroes of Ruin
Jaws: Ultimate Predator
Resident Evil: Revelaittions
Rollercoaster Tycoon 3DS
Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure
Skylanders: Giants
Super Street Fighter IV

So, while my collection is slightly 1st party heavy, I think 3rd parties should be fairly happy with my collection.  Why?  Go back and look at all those titles with asterisks on them.  Those are titles that I purchased for less than half of the original retail price.  Two of those, the two with double asterisks on them, were bought "new", but at a location that was selling them used. The little D, for those who couldn't guess, indicates a "retail" digital purchase.

So, what's yours?

[Oblivion]

Fairly small. I end up selling my collection every few months. If I don't include what I've sold, I have:


Mario Kart 7
FE:  Awakening
Kingdom Hearts DDD
And I have a few VC and eShop games.

[ejamer]

Retail:
- The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
- StarFox 64 3D
++ Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask
++ Nano Assault
- Resident Evil: Revelations
++ Shinobi
++ Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate
++ Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward

I've owned a handful of other 3DS retail games, but regularly trade out games once finished so that I can try new titles. Some of the games in my collection now probably won't be there next year... and the circle of life continues.

Digital:
- Bit.Trip Saga
- Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D

Edit: Wasn't going to do this, but since others are keen on putting up full eShop lists I figured why not be complete? Quite frankly, eShop has been the only thing to justify my 3DS purchase so far... and I'm pretty happy with the vast majority of these titles.

- Alt-Play: Jason Rohrer Anthology
++ Art Academy First Semester*

[Mop it up]

I got mine a few months later in June, so it isn't quite two years for me yet. Hard to believe it's been that long, the whole fiasco is still fresh in my mind. Or maybe that's just because people still complain about the 3DS and think it's doomed. :/

In any case, since I didn't own a DS and the 3DS acts as two systems in one for me, I've spent the last two years collecting DS games, hoping to buy up all the good ones before they become hard to find and expensive. Unfortunately, this has already begun to happen with some of them, so I may not be able to get every single game I want for the platform. But, it has a large and extensive library, so I should still have a respectable number in the end. Plus the 3DS doesn't have very much which interests me right now, but it'll all be cheap by the time I want it.

My digital stuff is all the freebies. 20 Ambassador games, 3D Classics ExciteBike, Zelda Anniversary Four Swords, and an assortment of videos and demos.

Also, I traded up to a 3DS XL this past holiday, and sold off my regular model.

For the rest, you know what they say about pictures...

[S-U-P-E-R]

I have 3 games. Has it been 2 years already? Ugh

[lolmonade]

Super Mario 3D Land
Mariokart 7
Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure
Skylanders: Giants
Starfox 64
Lego Lord of the Rings
Dead or Alive Dimensions
Art Academy: Lessons for Everyone
Pilotwings Resort
Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion
Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy
Fire Emblem: Awakening
Sonic Generations
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
Shinobi
Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask.

I can't be bothered to look through my 3DS downloadable games. 

Now to be fair, my new job has me traveling quite a bit, so my gaming budget has been largely going towards handheld titles lately.

[Caterkiller]

Wow those are some big lists!

I think that's it and I am currently super happy with the machine and its games. I'm certainly playing it more than my DS. Though Black 2 takes up most of my play time.

Downloadable -  Um...this would be easier to say what I DON'T have:

Gameboy VC - Avenging Spirit, Alleyway, that Pacman game
3DS Eshop - Dillon's Rolling Western, Samurai Sakura, Night Sky, Escape Vektor, Colors 3D, Pokedex Deluxe, Johnny Kung Fu, Kerploosh
GameGear VC - Crystal Whatever, that isometric Sonic game
NES VC - SMB Lost Levels


And I've got everything else.  Seriously.  Except for DSiWare, cuz that library just sucks as a whole.

[Stogi]

Is Adventure Time a good game? I'm a fan of the show. It's so brilliantly creative and unapologetically stupid at the same time.

Gameboy VC - Avenging Spirit, [size=78%]..[/size][size=78%].[/size]

Begs the question: why not?  It's an awesome retro action game where you can possess many different characters - each with their own properties for health, speed, jumping, attack type and power. Easily one of my favorite 3DS Virtual Console that has been released so far.

[NWR_insanolord]

And I've got everything else.  Seriously.  Except for DSiWare, cuz that library just sucks as a whole.

While there is a lot a garbage, there are also some really great games on the DSiWare service. I'd argue it's better than WiiWare.

Really fun but really short.  Like 4 hours.

[pokepal148]

yes the game that got ign's 2010 goty 'sucks'
you could easily get 25 high quality games off there

What game was that? I could look it up but for some reason that feels really ardous so I'll make a guess that it was Shantae: Risky's Revenge or whatever it is subtitled.

Now, are you saying that game sucks or just being sarcastic to the comment by leahsdad?

Um, IGN's 2010 Game of the Year was Mass Effect 2.

[pokepal148]

on ds it was shantae
i would think given the nature of this conversation i wouldn't have to clarify that

that doesn't take much tbh
