So, I am about to get a New 3DS XL. But I am facing a roadblock.

When I want new 3ds games I mostly buy them used. A lot of kids buy them and then try to resell them at a very cheap price so you won't find a problem buying them at a good price and in a good condition. I don't usually buy them new, tho.
Also get monster hunter (mh3u is the cheapest)

Well I would propably try to homebrew it personally. But I think that is above you.
One game that is new 3ds only is Xenoblades. Seems rather good if you into that type of games.

And this is why I stopped buying consoles

Love Nintendo, only console I buy. As for games, I would look in to pre-owned as said above. Nintendo very rarely has sales, and they often are not great. Alternatively, sometimes stores like best buy have buy one get one promotions for games.

Just look for pre owned cartridges online. I don't know if you can access the eShop where you are at but sometimes they put games on sale for like 10 dollars (good games might I add) that usually cost a lot. So I would also check that.

as an option to use a pirate cartridge Sky3ds. It work on all firmware versions and does not require any manipulation of your console. you removed the cartridge from the console and you're not a pirate. if you don't want to bother with it, then to buy second-hand cartridges.
buy digital versions personally I do not like ( although I bought a lot of them ). it is possible to wait for sale. but it very long. And usually on games from nintendo there are no discounts. I personally very distressed buying new3ds. DSLite was divine , and 3DS games interesting for me few (
God bless Google translator =)

Honestly i wanted to wait untill Pokemon Sun and Moon come out and then get a new 3ds XL bundle if they create one (i really hope they do :o)

I will assume that India is PAL so you will probably have to buy from EU. Nintendo region locks their consoles so you have to be careful where you buy your games from. Unfortunately, I don't know of a retailer that ships to India :/.

Good luck!

Love my New 3DS (even if the name is confusing as hell...) Pre owned cartridges are pretty much your only viable and still legitimate option to not get scammed.

Off topic, but I'd recommend trying out bravely default and bravely second if you're a fan of the genre, really good RPG 3ds games that I enjoyed and played the hell out of.

Go for Super Smash Bros

I guess you may have to go to Ebay to get some good deals but be careful of resellers and fakes. The game with Pit for smash bros in it is ment to be pretty good .

Isn't 3DS not region locked? Ebay? Buying used isn't so bad since it's a cart not a disc that can be scratched.

Bump for help.

Gag, what region is your system? You might be able to import from either UK or US sites to save money. Here in New Zealand, I've bought half my games from the UK for that reason.

I know you said you've checked eBay before (downloadable games I've found)

The prices look very decent to me. I see a Mario Kart 7 code for $15.50, Fire Emblem: Fates codes for $28.99, and some AC:NL codes for roughly the $30 or lower. If you get scammed, eBay has you cover since 99% of the time they will side with the buyer if the seller cannot provide proof product was delivered. In fact, codes on eBay is an honour system in which the seller prays they meet an honest buyer. You won't be finding Smash or Pokemon download codes at those prices. You will have to buy used physical copies from others or pay full price.

Walmart has US eShop credit with email delivery here, but you will probably need a VPN and a PayPal with an US address.
