The absurdity of the setting and premise help make this classic puzzle gameplay feel fresh. But instead of launching colored marbles at other marbles to make them disappear, here you’re launching people in different colored clothes at other people to cut down on the line-up you’re waiting in. You might know this game’s mechanics best from the game that shamelessly ripped Puzz Loop off, PopCap’s Zuma. The final game from Mitchell Corporation before it shut its doors is not-so-secretly a riff on one of its previous games: Puzz Loop, or Magnetica as it was known in some regions.
But then again, what else would you expect from Joakim Sandberg, who also brought us the likes of Iconoclasts on the Nintendo Switch? This one is a real sleeper among the 3DS owners I know. But this is a really cool game to play on the 3DS, with hot action and absolutely jaw-dropping pixel art. It is also available on computers, at the very least. I should first clarify: this isn’t the only place you can buy and play Noitu Love: Devolution. Noitu Love Devolution ($9.99)Īlright, time to venture into the weeds a little bit again. There’s also a third game available as a physical release if you’re hungry for more. Dillon can roll pretty well, helping you get around the map and attack enemies as needed. You do the usual set-up seen in games like these, but once the action starts you play it out from down on the field. Dillon’s Rolling Western is an action-packed take on tower defense that sees you playing as a super-powered armadillo as he defends various locations from invading forces. It’s wild how many great mid-budget franchises were born and managed to thrive on the 3DS. Dillon’s Rolling Western ($9.99)/Dillon’s Rolling Western: The Last Ranger ($10.99) I find Crashmo hits the sweet spot in terms of complexity, but all three games are worth playing for puzzle fans. What makes these games so fun is in figuring out just how you’re supposed to get where you need to go. You play as a little sumo named Mallow as he pushes, then pulls, then stretches 3D puzzles to reach the goal on each stage. One early bright spot came from a little puzzle game made by Intelligent Systems named Pushmo. The early days of the 3DS eShop were pretty barren. Give it a go before it’s too late! Pushmo ($6.99)/Crashmo ($8.99)/Stretchmo (Free + DLC) A lot of people missed out on this one for whatever reason back when it came out. There’s tons to enjoy in this game, and there’s even an extra FM synth soundtrack you can buy as DLC. Choose a hero, protect the princess, and enjoy the absolutely wild story. The sequel is now available on Nintendo Switch, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get into this amazing 3DS installment. If you like music games at all and you somehow have missed out on this, it’s time to jump in. There are more than seventy to play, and spoiler alert: they are all super-rad. Rhythm Heaven Megamix is basically a “greatest hits" take on the series, including a wide range of minigames drawn from the previous games.

Rhythm Heaven Megamix ($29.99)Īnother series whose most recent release happened in digital-only form in North America. If you enjoy Picross or logic puzzles in general, you’ll probably really like this 3D variant. In North America, it did so via a digital-only release. The first game in the series came out on Nintendo DS, and the second came exclusively to the 3DS. Unfortunately, we have very little 3D Picross. We have a lot of standard Picross options these days, especially on the Nintendo Switch. As such, I’ve put together a list of some digital-only games you’ll want to consider picking up while you can.
No more purchases will be allowed after that time, so… tick-tock, eh? I don’t know the Wii U well enough to make a strong list of must-haves, but I know the 3DS very well. In case you didn’t know, Nintendo will be closing the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U eShops in March of 2023. This article is a special exception that I’ve put together after a special request from a very dear reader on the TouchArcade Discord server. We don’t typically cover the Nintendo 3DS around here, despite the fact that it has touch controls.
