That's a very bad list.

Mediocre convoluted kiddie game Kingdom Hearts at 7?

The disaster that was Star Fox at 4?

Once again IGN looks at the back of the boxes and picks games they think they'll like.

Not into it. I would have thought Resident Evil: Revelations would be a shoe-in for top 2 at least and it is beat by no less than two N64 remakes? Bah! Also, no love for Ghost Recon: Shado Wars.

terrible, awful list. but its just someones opinion in the end. seems almost predictable the way the last 5 play out i knew it would be marios and zelda, and as awesome as the titles are i cant believe resident evil was so high, as well with kid icarus and kingdom hearts woould have been atleast in someorder in the top 5 i would venture to say. i really liked star fox, its a better version of the classic I dont see how it was a disaster, but i would rate it anywhere below 8 maybe, perhaps even switch ghost recon with it completely

I utterly dislike you(always have) but, God help me, I have to agree. First of all, you cannot call any online/MP system "fully featured" if it doesn't have voice chat. Which is why I'm totally baffled as to why Heroes of Ruin isn't on that list. This is more like a top ten highest profile releases list.

I think it's actually too early to make a list. Wait for Luigi's Mansion 2 so you can put it on No.1 :D

Wow, what a wretched list. Part of the problem is that there isn't really 10 great games on the 3DS, but even still they're including things that are suspect. Kingdom Hearts, Street Fighter IV (Dead or Alive is a far superior 3DS fighter), STAR FOX, my god. Theatrythm is also suspect. Also the list has no Ghost Recon Shadow Wars, which is sad.

Kingdom hearts is actually pretty solid. Looking past the messy plot it had the best combat and levels in the series

Missing ghost recon shadow wars and ranking kid Icarus so low sort of damage this lists credibility. That and completely missing all downloadables, especially considering pushmo scored higher than both mario kart 7 and starfox 64 3d and pretty much all the other lower ranked games.

Theatrhythm is one of my favorite 3DS games. I would have put it higher on the list.

I agree, Theatrhythm would probably be around the #5 or #6 for me. And I'm not a big FF or music game fan. I just love the game.

Your stupid if your saying kingdom hearts is a convoluted kiddie game. That's such a dumb thing to say. Kingdom Heart should be top 5 on the list, although Star Fox shouldn't be at 4. In fact kingdom hearts 3ds is one of the best entries in the entire series, and kingdom hearts is a respected franchise.

Personal opinion, don't criticize 1. Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time 3D 2. Super Mario 3D Land 3. Resident Evil Revelations 4. Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance 5. Kid Icarus Uprising 6. Mario Kart 7 7. Dead or Alive Dimensions 8. Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition 9. New Super Mario Bros. 2 10. Star Fox 64 3D I could even put Revelations and Kingdom Hearts top 2, but overall I think Zelda and Mario are less mixed up and more traditional Nintendo, and the list wouldn't feel right if a Nintendo game wasn't #1. Overall in terms of content I can honestly say Revelations is #1 by far. It pushes the system graphically, sound, has online co-op modes, achievements, and really is a full fledged Resident Evil on a handheld. I would even go as far as saying it is better then 5. Its graphics are very similar, it has a more frightening campaign, and raid mode is a better co-op mode then mercenaries. Also its easier to replay with customization and new game plus. Also the 3DS has more then a enough games to put in the top ten. I own more then 10 3DS games and I can say I really enjoyed all of em.

It's his opinion and it is convoluted. If you're not a fan of the franchise, then you're gonna have a tough time understanding the story.

Alright, so maybe you (for some reason I wont even attempt to understand) didn't like 3D Land, but could it really be worse than this? :P

Well I can't deny that. XD I'll repost what I said before about it with additions. It was boring, easy, exactly like every Mario side scroller (the fact it wasn't a sidescroller makes that worse), and in the second map part was just so random and was like they weren't even trying and just made whatever levels came to mind. You get WAAAAY too many lives that I didn't even look at the screen half the time because it was like Bioshock, no penalty for dying. Don't even get me started on the big coins, you would have to literally avoid them to not get them sometimes. I felt cheated by how they said the 3D would actually be important when that is only true 1% of the entire game. The bosses were practically the same thing practically and easy not to mention the twenty lives they give you each. I hope that answers your question. :P

I really like Super Mario 3D Land and while I agree with what they said about it making 3D an essential part of the game, it doesn't deserve the #1 spot. It's probably the worst 3DS game I own (then again I only own 3 :P ).

I can see them making a "Top X Games" list to direct traffic to their site, but this early in the systems life is pretty hard to judge. There are numerous games in the works that we've been reading about for years or don't even know about yet..... or sadly will never see a localization (Nintendo why you no love us!?). Of the 5 games I've bought since purchasing my 3DS in July I have to say Theatrhythm is my favourite. I picked it up the same day I went to get Kingdom Hearts and have been addicted since. I played the first hour or so of Kingdom Hearts and haven't touched it since. Mario Kart? On the shelf with 3D Land and NSMB2. I personally never really liked Rhythm games, but for some reason Theatrhythm is really addicting and appeals to me (not just because of the cute Chibi characters either :D).

If I had to rate the games I have right now I would probably say 1. Theatrhythm Final Fantasy ||| 2. Super Mario 3D Land ||| 3. Kingdom Hearts 3D ||| 4. Mario Kart ||| 5. New Super Marios Bros. 2 (It's ok, but nothing special)

I feel down the road Theatrhythm could easily stay in my top 10 or 25 once the system meets the end of the road.

"It was boring" To your short attention span. "easy" Because that's a problem...? "exactly like every Mario side scroller (the fact it wasn't a sidescroller makes that worse)" Because they totally weren't AIMING for a 3D Mario game that plays like a 2D one! Oh wait... "and in the second map part was just so random and was like they weren't even trying and just made whatever levels came to mind." And that's a bad thing WHY?! That was their INTENTION! Hell, if they did the same old world theming (Grassland, Desert, Beach, etc.), you'd complain there too! "You get WAAAAY too many lives that I didn't even look at the screen half the time because it was like Bioshock, no penalty for dying." You know, besides having to start over the level from the beginning/checkpoint. A better term would be "no penalty for GAME OVERS". "Don't even get me started on the big coins, you would have to literally avoid them to not get them sometimes." What, the Star Coins? Why the hell would you WANT to avoid them? "I felt cheated by how they said the 3D would actually be important when that is only true 1% of the entire game." Just because you USED it only 1% of the entire game, doesn't mean its IMPORTANT for 1% percent of the entire game. So basically, your reasoning for why the game's "bad" is because its easy, and they're going through with stuff they WANTED to do, but it isn't what YOU want.

No its stupid cause he says its a kiddie game. I hate people who say things like that. I don't care he doesn't like it, but its dumb to say its a kiddie game. I doubt very many kids would play kingdom hearts, especially due to the straining difficulty of bosses. Also kids won't think complex enough to customize an RPG. I say games are better or worse, but I would never say a games bad because its kiddie, that's not a good reason at all, also considering Mario and Star fox are for more "kiddie". Legend of Zelda is just as "kiddie" as kingdom hearts, but I still don't think kids these days would play Zelda over even COD.
