So GamingBolt.com just did a feature on the top ten 3DS games so far in honor of the system's first anniversary. Really gives you a feel for how far we've come.

I like the list and agree with most of it. Their choice for number one totally caught me off guard, though. I did notexpect that.

Gotta get this game soon.

What do you guys think?

Believe what? Everything that has been shown of the game so far looks great. I never thought it would be this good myself, but... Makes me wonder if Gamespot underrated ANOTHER 3DS title.

For the most part I agree with that list, but to me Revelations is ahead of Pushmo and Mario Kart 7 is behind OoT 3D.

I really really doubt Kid Icarus is as good as 3D Land, but I suppose I'll see when I get it.

charizard is excited for Kid Icarus too. charizard can't wait to finally play it, it's been getting such great feedback from players everywhere. And yet charizard simply cannot believe this, he just can't.

That was totally a lucky guess! charizard hasn't played Kid Icarus yet, but the other three games are amazing. Going by how good the reception of Kid Icarus is, it appears that will be amazing too. Are these the games you will pick up when you get your 3DS?

Low expectations? Then charizard will be disappointed :P

charizard agrees, although he still hasn't played Kid Icarus either.

Definitely...they are the must haves so far for me for the system... i really really want to get a 3ds now...but that add on is turning me off....im PRAYING for a redesign at e3...otherwise if they dont announce it then ill probably just cave in and still get one..(and eventually get disappointed when they DO announce it)

The only future titles im interested in are:

  • Luigis Mansion
  • Paper Mario
  • "Untitled 2d Mario game"
  • Inevitable 6th gen pokemon game
  • There is also super smash brothers...but im planning on getting the wii u...and i rather play it on my tv than tiny screen :)
  • I have monster hunter freedom unite on my vita...and its just not my kind of game..so no interest in number 4.
  • Professor layton vs ace attorney i will have to see more of it
  • professor layton and the mask of miracle i MAYBE will get.

Kid Icarus looks like a lot of fun. Pushmo looks awesome too. I'll have to wait though.

Never heard of Pushmo. If it's made by Intelligent systems, maybe I should check it out... when I eventually get a 3DS of course. :P

Yea, the first year was awesome and it's only getting better. So many games left this year in the 3DS. I honestly have a hard time playing my other consoles because there is so much to play on my 3DS. It's like 2007-2009 on my DS all over again

Mario Kart Wii has broken online, really cheap bikes. Mario Kart 7 has a whole new set of physics for driving underwater, a slew of track changing short cuts through gliding, new items and improved online with a really great communities feature as well as some stellar streetpass support. Resident Evil 5 isn't scary in any way, has a tacked on competitive multiplayer mode, has co-op that hurts the story mode, boulder punching. Resident Evil Revelations is much more scary than RE5, doesn't have tacked on co-op ruining the story but has a fully fleshed out and separate co-op mode for local and online, as well as the supply scanner which adds a level of depth and exploration usually seen only in Metroid games. And Revelations (while not a lot) still has a biajillion more puzzles than the action fest that was RE5 So there. Those are the differences.

LOL, I hear ya. I will only touch two titles on 3DS and those are the ones i own and probably sell it with. Nothing on Nintendo systems are of any interest to me. I keep trying to give them a chance but i just can't do it.

Not counting ports and remakes since they don't make a system. So far we've got: Dead Or Alive Kid Icarus Mario Kart 7 Nano Assault Resident Evil Revelations Super Mario 3D Land Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Shado Wars I haven't played any of the downloadable games yet since they don't interest me thus far.

KIU is easily the best 3ds game, I think. This game has been underrated by most reviewers in my eyes; an easy 9 for me.

If one likes puzzle games at all Pushmo is an excellent game to play. Tons of puzzles (over 200 if I'm recalling correctly) and the ability to make your own or play ones created by others by scanning QR codes that are generated when they are made (many are posted on the net). So the tons of content for it and it's less then $10..

The list is also pretty good. Question Metal Gear Solid being on there though. Especailly because of it's controls even with the circle pad pro.

While quite a few of the games on that top 10 list were met with pretty mixed reactions, there's definitely a solid group of quality 3DS titles. I'm still not going to buy one until its next iteration.
