Just thought this would be fun :p rank your 3ds games in order of how much you like them :)

For Me:

1) Pokemon Y - Absolutely brilliant game, have had it for 3 days and 26 hours clocked so far, honestly the best pokemon game i've played in years.. so glad i picked it up

2) Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Whilst i have lost interest recently, still a brilliant game.. which i believe i will dip in and out of for many years, even if i do start new towns etc, love all the new features that were brought in

3) Mario Kart 7 - I can't fault this game, Mario Kart at its best imo, i have had it since it came out, and i still regularly play it online, and casually

4) Paper Mario: Sticker Star - LOVE this game, it seems pretty underrated! i was so immersed in it, when it came out, and im planning on playing through the game again, when im less busy :)

5) Luigi's Mansion 2 - Bought this on launch day, yet haven't finished it, i plan to when i have more time but from what i've played on (im rougly 3/4 of the way through) its great :)

6) Super Mario 3D Land - Finished this 100% haven't played it since then, but a great game overall

7) Ocarina of Time - How can you not like Ocarina of Time? its only so low down, as its not a new game and i've played it so many times :p

8) New Super Mario Bros 2 - LOVE the game but didn't enjoy it as much as 3D land :) maybe the New super mario bros line is going on too long :p

9) Kid Icarus Uprising - I bought this on launch day in 2012, and dip in and out of it every few months :L the controls annoy me, but it is a good game :)

10) Star Fox 64 3D - Hardly played this one.. loved the original, but didn't see the point of this being remade tbh

11) Mario Tennis Open - Meh... its ok to play for like 10 minutes but then gets boring

I sold: Cave Story & Resident Evil Revelations (when i finished it)

Planning to get Zelda when it comes out..

I only have 2 games for the 3DS lel

Tied: MK7 and AC:NL.

I kind of wanted to try Paper Mario: Sticker Star, however, when I found out more about the game I became less interested because they got rid of a lot of the things I loved from TTYD. :x
 
1. Fire Emblem: Awakening (Best. Game. Ever...besides Metroid Prime <3)

Animal Crossing: New Leaf
Pokemon X
Mario Kart 7
Paper Mario: Sticker Star
Pushmo
Super Mario 3D Land
New Super Mario Bros. 2
Mario Tennis Open

LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes
 
I am just going to list my few games in a 1-10 format, with 1 being horrendous and 10 being outstanding.

Pokemon X- 7. It was good, but for some reason I just did not like Kalos at all. It was almost too complex for me, and the music in my opinion wasn't anything great. Cool and all, but just nothing incredibly amazing to listen to over and over on Youtube. Oh and for example, the Gym Leader theme, it sounds extremely repetitive and kind of like... Noise. I don't like calling it music, it just didn't sound good. Just a lot of fuzziness and white noise and echoey and obnoxious. Oh and the game is super pixellated to me so I find the new graphics more off-putting than appealing to the eye. The game also went by really fast and Lumiose City.. (I actually really do like the music here however xP) was very annoying and overwhelming. Also the control scheme. What if I just want to WALK using the circle pad in a smooth matter like the roller skates? The roller skates accelerate and decelerate very strangely and are very hard to control.

Animal Crossing New Leaf-8.5. Again, not an outstanding game in my opinion. Like the graphics. However, it didn't feel as charming as the original animal crossing and it seemed to get boring quicker. This might just be me getting older though. :_( Cool ideas and features, just not appealing for me for some reason :(

Luigis Mantion: Dark Moon-3.5. Annoying to play, pixellated to where it feels annoying to look at (Much like pokemon x, animal crossing wasnt too bad. By annoying I mean it looks twitchy and it never looks like things move smoothly, the DS had this problem as well) boring story, tedious puzzels, not very immersive gameplay or dialogue. The writing was just boring for me. Sorry!

Fire Emblem: Awakening-9.5. Great! Really good music, really really intense 3D (Which I happen to like, but can't use for more than 30 minutes ;P) Really intriguing game and writing. I was actually getting emotional at the end!! (You know a game is good when it does that) Again, pixellization made the game look unappealing, it looks jittery because of this, and seems to have a lower framerate just because the pixel density is so poor on the 3DS system! This might be because I have a 3DS XL though... :(

Yes, I am somewhat of a graphics snob. But only for newer games which I have higher expectations for! Things usually don't bug me that much at all, but when a game looks jagged and twitchy and has really annoying aliasing combined with a terribly pixelly screen in the first place, that bugs me. Sorry for the hate that might upset you and the graphics snobbiness :(
I know, I hated on these games...

1. Pokemon Y (pokemon games always keep me occupied until the next one comes out)
2. Fire Emblem: Awakening (this games was made for ships ahhh)
3. Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance (love the story to bits)
4. Harvest Moon: Tale of Two Towns
5. Animal Crossing New Leaf (got tired of it yo)
6. Harvest Moon: A New Beginning (this would probably be above animal crossing if i hadnt been too busy playing pokemon and FE to get anywhere in it)
 
1. Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate
Haven't personally played the 3DS version, but I assume it's just as great as the console version.
2. Pokemon XY
Amazing game but terrible post game. I feel guilty for not playing it, but since I have Showdown I have no reason to go back to it.
3. Resident Evil: Revelations
Possibly the best Resident Evil since RE4 (maybe even better), I've spent many hours both online and solo.
4. Animal Crossing: New Leaf
It's the best Animal Crossing in a long time, but I got bored with it all too fast.
5. Kid Icarus: Uprising
Although I hold a grudge against it because of the circumstances of when I got it, the game is still great.

Here's my top 11 of 3DS retail games I ever owned. Some games were difficult for me to properly list them in a specific order, but you should get a gist on my appreciation for games.

11. nintendogs + cats ; I can almost tell that the game is basically the DS version with cats slapped on it, which leads to massive disappointment
10. Pilotwings Resort ; Landing for a perfect score is annoying, there's very little things to see within a few hours outside of goofing around
9. New Super Mario Bros. 2 ; Good game for sure, but a bit underwhelming for a seasoned platformer gamer
8. Mario Kart 7 ; Again, good game but nothing much special if not for online communities and felt a bit rushed
7. Paper Mario: Sticker Star ; Interesting but ultimately a double-edged sword gameplay as well
6. Animal Crossing: New Leaf ; Although there are some glaring gameplay issues, it's still a worthy upgrade of Animal Crossing and an excellent introduction for newcomers for the time being
5. The Legend of Zelda : Ocarina of Time ; The best way to experience the N64 masterpiece once again, even though some may consider it didn't aged well
4. Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon ; Despite the game not doing well with the "mission-sized" segments that last a bit too long for my tastes, the game shines in many aspects and have some of the best multiplayer I've ever seen on 3DS
3. Super Mario 3D Land ; A game that's a lot of fun for everyone of all age and showcases the 3D effects very well
2. Kid Icarus: Uprising ; One of the most content-packed and surprising 3DS games I've ever played
1. The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds ; The game is fast-paced, has no dull moments while doing the main quest and interesting renting concept that let you hold all items quite early in the game!
 
1. Pokemon X
2. Animal Crossing New Leaf/Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
3. Mario Kart 7 (albeit it's lost forever)
4. Super Mario 3D Land (I finally completed it 100% back in March but now it's gone forever..)
5. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
6. Kid Icarus: Uprising
7. Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon
8. Paper Mario: Sticker Star
9. Pilotwings Resort
10. Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D
11. Professor Layton and The Miracle Mask.
12. New Super Mario Bros 2
13. Nintendogs + Cats
14. Final Fantasy Theatrythm (sp?)
15. Super Street Fighter IV
16. Ridge Racer 3D
???. Mario & Luigi Dream Team

I haven't played Dream Team yet so I can't rate it.

1. Animal Crossing, New Leaf: Got re-interested in it lately. Still working on dreamie list.
2. New Super Mario Bros. 2: Easy, but fun.
3. Mario Kart 7: Love the new tracks, especially Neo Bowser City.
4. Super Mario 3D Land: Great bosses, fun levels, beautiful graphics.
5. StarFox 64 3D: Awesome throwback. Still stuck on Macbeth, though :(
 
1. Rune Factory 4 I love the story. I love the game play elements. I love the characters. I usually get tired of Harvest Moon type games before I even finish the 'main story' if the game has one. This game, however, I could see myself actually playing through more than once.

2. Pokemon X It's the best Pokemon game ever.

3. Kid Icarus Uprising Pit. ♥ Hades. ♥♥ MAGNUS. ♥♥♥

4. Animal Crossing New Leaf It's fun. But god does that punishment for not playing every day get annoying. Once you start missing days, it's hard to want to play anymore.

5. Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon I enjoy playing it, but it hurts my thumbs and while the new mansions are nice, I preferred being able to slowly explore the mansion in the first game without having to go through 'episodes' where certain areas were 100% blocked off from me. Also when I found out about the certain plot element involving the boos and someone else... I wanted to smash my face against my desk.
AGAIN, MARIO? REALLY?! Wow. Just... wow.
6. Ocarina of Time It's a remake. But it's a NICE remake.

7. Ray Man 3D Again, it's a nice remake.

8. Petz Fantasy 3D I wanted a girly kiddy game. I have a girly kiddy game.

9. Pokemon Rumble Blast Pokemon Rumble games are terrible.
