I recently cracked my 3ds (which is super easy to do now that they've stopped updating it) and you can use it to play any previous generation games (up to PS1). Wish I knew that before I bought a purpose-made console lol

I have a huge catalog of games but since I'm switching out my SD card for a bigger one, I'm looking to basically just download whatever seems interesting. What's your favorite 3ds and nds games? (Please don't say Pokémon)

I did recently too! It's crazy how far the homebrew scene has come.

One I never see mentioned: Alice in Wonderland on DS. You'd think it was based on the awful 2009 tim burton movie, but it's actually a completely original puzzle platformer with great design and a fantastic art style.

Edit: also suggest you download MGBA for it because that's the only system afaik that can emulate the gyroscope GBA games like Yoshi Topsy Turvy and Warioware twisted.

I think it was really helped by the fact that they won't update the 3ds anymore and brick the system. I used to have an r4 card for it, but it stopped working as soon as you updated the console. Apparently though you can mix legit bought games and cracked DLC so that's pretty cool, I'm gonna have to try that out. Only problem I find myself in is there's too many games and spin-offs and they have different names depending on the region. I have no idea what I've downloaded, what I want to download but haven't yet, and what I don't need or am not interested in lol.
