Help me decide first 3DS game?

Okay, I'm getting a 3DS next week, and I am getting one game with it, it will be my only game for a while. I have narrowed it down to three choices, I'm gonna get them all eventually, but I want the best one now, and want it to last

Ocarina of Time 3D: I have played this before on N64 and Gamecube, I love this game, and I know its long. Only negative is it wont be as exciting since I have played it, I don't think I'd be bored of it because of it, but idk.

MGS:Snake Eater 3D: I ahve only played MGS on Gamecube, I didnt make it that far and didnt really...get it I guess I want to try again, and what I have looked up looks fun, it seems to be long, Im just worried I ll get it and not like it.

Kid Icarus:Uprising: This game looks really fun, I'm just worried it will be too short and the on rails section wont be fun (Not much for on-rails, how is it?)

So, can u guys help?

I'd go with Super Mario 3d Land. I'll also suggest OOT since it's a MAJOR improvement over the original, especially since you don't have to keep pausing to switch out equipment. Makes the Water Temple a real breeze. MGS I haven't played so I can't comment on that one. Kid Icarus wasn't bad, but the controls sucked. Not to mention the NPC'S won't shut up the whole friggin game!!! They like to engage in full conversations through the entire levels which can get REALLY annoying and distracting. I'd rent that one before I bought it.

Zelda... Mario Kart... Street Fighter.. those are my favourites atm

Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time 3D ~ Great game, it has nostagia, even when you beat the game there's the Master Quest to try out.

Kid Icarus Uprising ~ another great game, it's funny & action pack, has great multiplayer challenges, & achievements.

I say get both, buy 1 the first month & the second next month or so.

I would say kid icarus uprising out of that list, it is a decently long game and there is a ton of replay value trying to get more weapons, increasing score on levels, etc. on top of the online mode.

OoT is always a great choice, but if I don't reccomend it as your first since you have already played it before.

ALso, games not on your list that I would recommend as a first game are Mario 3D land and RE Revelations. Those are both great games that you can put a good amount of time into.

From your list, I would probably go with Ocarina of Time - the 3DS version is really great.

I personally didn't get into Kid Icarus. I was really looking forward to it, but it just felt chaotic to me and the controls were akward. But many love it, I didn't even keep playing too long.

Also, I second El_Zo1212o sugestion of Samurai Warriors Chronicles. I was not into the series or anything, but got the game at launch and its is one of my all time favorites now. I put over 100 hours into and wish I still had to go back and do more.

Reasons to get or not get the following games on your list:

Kid Icarus Uprising - if you're under the age of 15, this would probably be your first choice. From a scale of Poor, Good, Very good, and Excellent. I would put it in between Good and Very Good. It has great charm and wonderful technical aspects and representation, but the gameplay experience itself to me feels marred by a more leaning towards a kid nature as well as some very tough controls to master, in a way that wasn't even necessary in its design. Hence, it can feel more frustrating than innovative. This would be good for a collector's item since the package itself LOOKS great, as well as the AR cards that come with it are a nice bonus (and hopefully you can get some of the rare ones in the package).

Metal Gear 3 - This looks cool as a port, but judging from reviews, the original PS2 versions (Snake Eater or Subsistence), or the PS3 port in HD (which includes MGS2) would be a better bet. If you don't own either a PS2 or PS3, I still would put your last choice above this one. The game itself while great, is sort of 2-dimensional in its design, just basically a stealth game with not TOO much action. Once you beat it there really is no reason to go back to it. There IS reason to go back to Kid Icarus, but judging from the controls and unnecessarily annoying learning curve of that game, you may not want to.

Zelda: Ocarina of Time - this is really the way to go. It contains the regular version and Master Quest (which is like the extra hard mode), and the game is INCREDIBLY diverse and one of the greatest adventure games of all time. It has charm, is multi-dimensional and will take you way longer to beat than either of the other 2 games, perhap even their lengths combined won't be as long as Ocarina of Time. This is really worth your money.

Yeah, that was my goal and stopped playing it when I did them all on hard. I did some on chaos too but stopped once I finally had all beat on ateast hard. I didn't end up going for all the speacial 4th weapons or what not, but I wish I hadn't given up the game so I could go for more choas mode and the 4th weapons. Too bad the 3DS doesn't save to system and still saves to the cart...

You can't go wrong with Ocarina of Time. I wouldn't recommend Snake Eater for 3DS, but for another platform. I haven't played Kid Icarus, but I hear it's good, albeit hand cramp inducing.

[QUOTE="El_Zo1212o"] Have you beaten every mission on hard? I've been working on that since, what? October? November? All I've got left now is one side of Hasedo, and Yanagawa.El_Zo1212o

Yeah, there is a Chaos mode. Each character has like on speacial 4th weapon and there is a different way to unlock it for each one. I think you pretty much have to read a FAQ/guide for most of them as its all different kinds of specific conditions. Man! I'm really missing the game now.

And to get back to thread somewhat - I stick with OOT as my choice. But other than Samurai Warriors I also suggest downloading Pushmo and Sakura Samurai as well.

Id say you cant go wrong with any one of those, and they happen to be my 3 favorite titles for the system.

Thanks for all the help everyone
