Nintendo’s handheld comes through in the clutch often. Boring bus ride? Break the 3DS out. Chilling, watching Netflix? Break the 3DS out. Don’t want to talk to anyone at a party? Break the 3DS out. It’s a piece of technology that is perfect for an anti-social person like me. But in the end it doesn’t get the love like my PS4 does and I feel bad about that.
The system has memorable AF games that I’ve played the hell out of while doing the activities listed above. Here are some of my favorites:
- BoxBoy! | You’re a box solving puzzles. It’s as simple and awesome as it sounds.
- Resident Evil: Revelations | Seriously on par with RE 4. Revelations is a horror game that I am so addicted to, I look beyond how scary it is. (Recently announced for the Switch)
- Animal Crossing: New Leaf | For when I want to chill hard and pretend I’m an animal who has animal friends.
- Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth | Anime shenanigans mixed with dungeon crawling madness.
- The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D | Just a great port of the classic N64 title. Highly recommend.
I should probably get myself in more situations where I have to block out the world by throwing the 3DS in front of my face. Or I need to stop sitting at home, drinking so many Cokes and playing R6 Siege on my PS4.
