Pokemon Ultra Sun and Moon bids farewell to Gym Leaders. Alas, Pokemon Ultra Sun and Moon is home to the region of Alola, lots of new Pokemon, and introduces us to some new Necrozma forms which are pretty cool. I’ll personally argue that when it comes to Pokemon games on the 3DS system, X and Y reigns superior. Ultimately, any Pokemon game that sees Pikachu return to being fat is up there as one of the best Pokemon games. It tells a surprisingly touching story, too. You’ll catch Pokemon, battle gym-leaders, and mess around with enormous Mega Evolutions in your bid to be the very best. Pokemon X and Y plays out the same as any other mainline Pokemon game you’re a Pokemon Trainer in the town of Vanivelle, setting out and exploring the region of Kalos. Pokemon X and Y is home to the great Gigantamax Forms.

This is what we’ll be used to seeing now, with the release of Sword & Shield and Scarlet & Violet, but back in 2013, it was all brand-new. Pokemon X and Y mark a very pivotal moment for the Pokemon franchise, as it was the first Pokemon game to utilise fully-3D graphics.

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser’s Minions.

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds.

The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask + Ocarina of Time.

Get ready for some eye-popping classics, because here are some of the best Nintendo 3DS games to try out. In addition, the original Nintendo DS itself had a library of over 2000 games, and considering that the 3DS is back-compatible with these, be sure to check out our list of the best Nintendo DS games too. There were so many games to sift through, in fact, that this list was really hard to reduce down to the very best. What was truly great about the 3DS, really, was the fantastic array of games to choose from in its vast library. I don’t know a single soul who actually used the 3D capabilities back then, or even now.

The Nintendo 3DS was the last solely-handheld console to come from Nintendo, and its novel ability to turn any of its games into a 3D adventure was definitely a major selling-point for the impressive little machine - even if it was a gimmick.
