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)

For the DS, some that come to mind which haven't yet been mentioned (and which aren't available elsewhere):

Solatorobo, Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime, Monster Racers, Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon (available on PC but they removed the pop-up card game, heresy) 😖

As for some other DS games that honestly probably have better alternatives, but that I also have fond memories of-

Phantasy Star Zero (a big part of my childhood, playing multi- all pirated of course- with my sibs), Ragnarok DS (Ragnarok Online but DS), Atelier Annie, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days

For the 3DS:

Ever Oasis, Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux (updated port of the DS game, very similar to Etrian Odyssey mentioned in this thread- and great), Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked and Devil Survivor 2 (SMT formula, but with grid-based tactics), 7th Dragon III

(edit) also forgot-

For the DS: Dragon Quest IX, Infinite Space, the Tales games that are on the DS (they have fanmade English patches, those that aren't released outside Japan...), Sands of Destruction.
