The Nintendo Thread

I know not many of us own Nintendo consoles, but there are at least a few of us, so this can be a place to swap game recommendations, friend codes etc, rather than clogging up the Arcade.

A Link Between Worlds for 3DS really is great, on par with the console Zelda games.
Having had time to play with my Wii U, I'm not regretting the purchase at all. If you can afford for it to not be your primary gaming console, then I really recommend it. NintendoLand is a lot of fun with friends, and Wii U Party is definitly worth picking up with the free controller. I've ordered Super Mario 3D world, so will let people know if it lives up to its amazing reviews.
Played a few demos, Zombie U is suprisingly good, as is Rayman.

So many DS/3DS games to catch up on, and need to get back to Pokémon sometime and finish that off. <wah> Got some time away from home over the next month or so that'll do for the latter at least.

You've already got me, but my friend code is 2251-5288-6688 anyway.

I still need to f*** you up on Pokemon at some point.
I recommend Fire Emblem if you are looking for more 3DS games.

My DS/3DS to maybe buy/play list is currently:

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, or whatever it's called (came with 3DS)
A Link Between Worlds
Ocarina of Time 3D
Super Mario 3D Land
Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D
Fire Emblem: Awakening
Theatrhythm
Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor
The World Ends With You
Chrono Trigger DS

I doubt I'll make much of a dent in it, but I'll try... Sometime.

No interest in Luigi's Mansion?
I have most of those on your list, want to get Ace Attorney though, the first one was great of both those series. I wish they would bring back Trauma Centre.
Also have Professor Layton and Mario Kart, both of which aren't as good as their predecessors.

If it was going cheap somewhere, sure. Although I doubt that'll happen, 3DS games seem to hold their value forever.

Does most of the list come recommended then? Not played much of anything related to the stuff after DKC.

Yeah it is irritating that you can never find decent games for cheap unlike PS3 games.
A Link Between Worlds and Fire Emblem definitely. Super Mario 3D Land is really good too.
Monster Hunter is great if you get really into it.
I haven't really gotten into DKC yet, only played it for about 30 mins total, but I got it at the same time as 3 other games (during the buy 3 get one free times) and it's always been low on my priority list, seems good when I do play it though.
OoT was my first 3DS game, and was great. Not sure if I would buy it now there are so many other games though. It's great to play such a fantastic game "on the go" and is plays perfectly on the 3DS, but it's £30 for something I've played 100s of times before. Of course if you have never played it before then get off your arse and pick it up now.

I can confirm 3D World is as good as its reviews suggest.
