Okay so I've just ordered Zelda: OOT
and for sure at some point I'll get Luigi's Mansion 2, Pokemon B2 and NSMB2
but until then for my next buy I was thinking Monster HUnter or the new Fire Emblem, which one do you suggest getting?
I'm asking this because eventually I am planning to get a Wii U, so I thought I could get the Monster Hunter Wii U version instead. Also Fire Emblem kinda looks more appealing to me, but I'm not sure.

I would say Fire emblem. I got it digitally when I picked up a 3DS XL, a few days ago and it's pretty incredible so far. Not that far into it but I like what I have played, and I can see myself playing on the harder difficulties later on. If you end up getting a WiiU it would just be better to get MonsterHunter, on that seeing as how it's the better version with actual online play. Also just wanted to throw it out there that I found NSMB2 to be pretty terrible and I think the general opinion about it was about the same.

I'm enjoying both but I would say go with Fire Emblem first.

Fire Emblem is a must. Like you say, Monster Hunter will always be their if you get a Wii U, and from what I hear about it, Monster Hunter is better as a console game anyways.

Both are great, but if I had to pick just one I guess i'd go with Fire Emblem.

Kind of sounds like you already know what to do. 

Get Fire Emblem.

unless you're short on funds and can only afford one of them, Get both; they're both great games. If you have to pick just one, get Fire Emblem

monster hunter is a very grindy game, and while they made the first 20 or so hours easier on ultimate, you'll still eventually find yourself battling the monster for over half an hour (in a single fight), and you'll likely repeat that fight a couple times. so while it's immensely satisfying for me (the fights are intense and exhilarating), it clearly isn't something that anyone would enjoy. fire emblem, however, seems like a good bet, if you like RPGs.

Okay... I think I'll skip Monster Hunter for now, will get it later on WiiU.

Somebody here mentioned NSMB2 ain't good... so what you suggest buying over all?

Here's my list but feel free to make changes to it...

Zelda:OOT  (a must for me as I'm crazy Zelda fan)
Fire Emblem
Pokemon B&W2
Luigi's Mansion 2
Mario Land 3D (dunno about this one)
Shin Megami Tensei: DSO

Id recommend Tales of the Abyss, it's a great game if you enjoy JRPGs. Super Mario 3D Landis quite fun, but kind of short, even when perfecting everything. Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moonis good as well but again, kind of short, my friend beat it only 2 or 3 days after he got it, but did say he enjoyed alot still. If you like rhythmic music games Id also recommend Theatrhythm Final Fantasy, it's a perfect game for kicking back to and playing.

It's a competent platformer, just don't expect much different from the other 3 incarnations. Coin rush is great fun though. If you have no other avenue of playing it, Rayman Origins is a great platformer. It's just superior on its other platforms.

Fire Emblem. Monster Hunter is only for those who like boring craps.

I actually had to decide between these two yesterday. I got Fire Emblem and am happy with it. I hope it is the same for you.

When it comes to Mario, the only other 3DS game I have is Super Mario 3D Land because I got my XL only three days ago. I like it a lot. It feels like a mix between the classic Mario Bros. games and Super Mario 64.
