3DS games!

Posted by atari2600land, 17 March 2012 · 306 views

I got three 3DS games today. I put a review up of Asphalt 3D on the http://www.atari2600land.com/3ds/ 3DS reviews page. I also went into a Buyback$ store for the second time and this time I actually purchased a couple used cheapies: SpongeBob SquigglePants 3D and Steel Diver. Got them both for under $30, not only that, the stickers are really easy to get off. If only Gamestop's were that easy (grr.) But I can't review SBSP and SD right now because my eye began hurting (which is regular) and I need to go lay down or something. You could say I'm not exactly having the luck of the Irish today, even with three new 3DS games bought today. I now have 14.

Hey, I'm still 'debating" with myself whether buying a 3DS is worth it or not. What's been your experience so far? You think the games are engaging enough and the 3D effect really adds something to the experience or is it just a gimmick you turn off after a short while?
Thanks!

The best games I've run into so far are Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7, but most of the games I have are pretty good. I myself don't play with the 3D on, and I myself think it isn't necessary for all the games I own, actually.

roberto - it depends on whether you already have a DS and if there are any 3DS games (or DS games if you don't have one) which you consider "must haves".

My son bought a 3DS (and we both have DS-lites) and we have been playing through SM3dL. (I was going to pick up Occarina for our vacation, but BB was out of stock.) The 3D is nice, but we often don't have it turned on 'cause we're looking over each other's shoulders or playing in the car.

Unfortunately, the 3DS library is pretty thin so far (IMHO), so it's harder to justify buying one just for a couple of games.
