My 3DS shopping list.

I bought a 3DS against my better judgement. It was all because of this, to be honest. After all, the main reason I was in the market was simply because the last Dual Screened system I own is an original model with a twice-broken hinge. I could have picked up an old Lite on the cheap. However, it was either I bought a new Lite and a Vita or a 3DS to cover most of both angles.

Now I've a wide world of new games open to me, both 3DS releases and recent DS releases I've missed out on. So here's my personal shopping list of stuff I will be buying when individual game prices reach a sane level.

Showing 1-10 of 16 items

Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward

1. Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward

Like I said, this is the reason I picked up a 3DS instead of just another cheapo used Lite. The sequel to my recent gaming obsession; this time with a fully-voiced Clover. Okay... despite that, I still want it. Badly.

Super Mario 3D Land

2. Super Mario 3D Land

Not because I'm particularly thrilled to play yet another Mario game, but because I hear this one is actually pretty incredible, especially as a game to show what the 3DS could do if more people put some effort into developing for it.

Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked

4. Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked

Sure, it's just an enhanced DS game, but I was going to buy the DS version anyway and this is... well, enhanced, and amazingly easier to find cheaper, because people are crazy with their pricing when supply dwindles (anyone want to buy my shrink-wrapped copy of Ever17 for $599?).

Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2

5. Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2

I guess if I'm getting the first game, I might be tempted to buy the second one. Or perhaps there will be an eventual 3DS enhanced edition of this as well?

Pokémon Black/White Version 2

6. Pokémon Black/White Version 2

So these games totally aren't even 3DS releases. I guess that's fine. I'm still, for some god awful reason, pretty much always down for more Pokemon (please help me!)

Mario Kart 7

7. Mario Kart 7

Since Mario Kart DS was my former favorite Mario Kart title, and I feel like those games work best on a portable system. It's been long enough, and I'm now bored with the DS track list. Time for the 7th Mario Kart game.

Tales of the Abyss

8. Tales of the Abyss

Because Symphonia wasn't their port-job, and I want to play a Tales game on a handheld. Actually, from what I've played of Abyss, it's pretty terrible, so maybe put this one under "curious" and "low priority."

Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D

9. Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D

Goddamn, if only the 3DS had a second analog stick. Which it will... especially now that I own what will soon be the obsolete model. Anyway, I've always *wanted* to enjoy the Metal Gear franchise, but rarely have I owned a system with a Metal Gear release. I also hear the third game is fantastic, and it sure does look it.

Pushmo

10. Pushmo

It's a 3DS downloadable title that is good, cheap, and uses the system to its potential. Sounds like it has the added benefit of being fun to play, too.

Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D

11. Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D

Because it's actually cheaper than buying nipple clamps and torturing myself for pleasure.
