For those who don't know, I play several games at once, one of them always being a DS/3DS game. The reason for this is because it gives me something to do during my commutes to class as well as during my downtime at work/uni/etc.

I just finished Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney and I need something new to play (the game was great btw and I just order the sequel which just shipped :D). Since I can't decide, I've turned to you fine peeps. While I prefer that you guys pick one of the listed games below, feel free to mention anything that you enjoyed and wish to share.

Which DS/3DS game should I play?

View Results
Chrono Trigger
Flower, Sun and Rain
Professor Layton and the Curious Village
Tales of the Abyss
Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl
Code Name: S.T.E.A.M.
Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon
Bravely Default
Nostalgia

I'm going to go against the majority here and say Nostalgia. It's a charming little JRPG with a few balance issues, but nothing too bad.
Chrono Trigger is good but I always thought it was overrated.

There is a lot of hype around the game (also seems to be the clear winner so far), and I didn't expect to hear much about Nostalgia tbh since it is a bit niche.

If you buy one cartridge or download, you can get the other 2 for $20 USD each. Same price as the SE.

But I don't want to do the eShop and I can't avoid it without getting the CE edition :/. (1/3 games is download only D:)

My vote goes to tales of the abyss / professor layton and the curious village. I would also recommend Fantasy Life & shin megami tensei games.

Dragon Quests any of them! Saw the post about bravely default.... its so cake walk you don't even need to play it will beat itself just turn it on and walk away. Looks good and is a lot like FF but wow zero zero challenge. On the list Nostalgia was kinda cool. I might have to check out Luigi mansion I didn't know there was one on DS.

I voted for Green Mario because he is always in the shadow od his brother.

and I don't really know other games from poll :P

Oddly enough, Luigi is more fleshed out as a character than his brother. Luigi has a personality and I find him more relatable where Mario is some chubby bastard with poor taste in women :P.

I can agree with everything you said.

Having seen that you started Chrono Trigger, I voted for it. That said, I'm a huge fan of many of these series.

The Layton games are delightful and very easy to work into bite-sized sessions. This is great for commute or bedtime gaming.

Similarly, I really enjoyed the original Etrian Odyssey, and the version you have sounds like a novel combination of a more story-based game with the standard EO Wizardry throwback.

That's okay. They are one of my favourite genres so I tend to have more of them on consoles :P.

Haven't played any of those, sorry. Damn I so want a 3DS but they are too expensive here and I'm saving for a GPU.
BTW, not sure if you played Ghost Trick before? It's great, from the creator of Phoenix Wright so you'll probably like it.

I would also consider the Picross series. Both Chrono Trigger and Professor Layton series are excellent choices too.

Yeah beautiful game
The ending could be more... Lovely, but they leave it like that
Since that moment I love Atlus' games :)

Then Devil Survivor 2 :P

Btw if you want to play Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl
You should play the 3 DS ver. first..
Don't say you already played them too? xD

Completely unbiased opinion here! Tales of the Abyss is a mandatory play, even if it's not now! Definitely one of my favourite games of all time, up there with Tales of Symphonia. Chrono Trigger is also an amazing choice.

If you somewhat like bleach: Bleach: The Third Phantom. There are others, but they didnt reach the level of this one.
Bleach: The Blade of Fate was addequite.

Top gun is great fun if you play with 4 players. Cant remember much about the missions.

cant remember much else ^^

edit, there was also this game where you had to dig up fossils and could awaken them to fight for you. Bit like Pokemon, however you where part of the battle as well and could die as far as I kan remember. and it wasnt turn based like pokemon I think....
Not sure, but you could feed the fossils stuff, to speed up there evolution to the next stage or something ^^ Not really usefull am I? :P

no that isnt it either, I know you could choose if you used a sword or something to shoot with, and there was a mini game concerning the diging if I remember right.

If you like another fun search, I'm looking for a user here on SG that I forgot too whitelist.
Made a thread about 2 weeks ago I think, because the person wished to fill his/her whitelist to make GA. Person was just registered for 2 weeks at that time, and lvl 4. Name, no idea. Avatar looked like a elf, with blond hair. And the color blue had a strong pressence in the avatar. Made lots of GA afterwards.

Cant find the thread, looked true all my PM's. looked between my entered Ga, Dont see it in my new GA anymore because I started to hide a lot of games about 8 days ago -.-

I only have DS so i never played those 3DS games. Firstly you have to finish EVERY PHOENIX WRIGHT GAME EVER, including Apollo Justice and Investigations: Miles Edgeworth.
A nice adventure game (point and click) was Hotel Dusk: Room 215 and the sequel, and Ghost Trick (this one is more of a puzzle).

Tales of the Abyss is awesome, cleared twice and currently doing a third playthrough. Currently playing Bravely Default, it is amazing, reminds a bit of older FFs (I & III). And I have Etrian Odyssey Untold on my backlog for a long time, will do it after Bravely.

So voted Bravely Default beacause can only vote once, but the Abyss is awesome too.

I don't know what genre's you like, but I've been thinking about revisiting these games which I totally loved:

  • Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan! (JP) / Elite Beat Agents (EN)
  • Advance Wars: Dual Strike / Advance Wars: Days of Ruin
  • Rhythm Tengoku Gold (JP) / Rhythm Heaven (EN)

Already own Beat Agents and Advance Wars is one of my favourite series :P. I didn't know about Rhythm Heaven and I do enjoy rhythm games so thanks :D. (Currently trying to find a copy of Rhythm Thief but no luck so far ;_;)

Rhythm Thief looks fantastic, I hadn't heard of it before so checked some gameplay vids and it looks right up my alley. Thanks for mentioning it!

If you're into rhythm games, you are going to have such a blast with Rhythm Heaven -- the songs, gameplay, character and visual design is all top-notch. It's also pretty darn hard and will put your skills to the test. :)
