3DS games...

[Spider]

Got a 3DS XL for xmas, now need to pick up a game or two.

I rarely buy a console game, greatly preferring to rent them from Gamefly. If I'm going to buy one, so I've got it on the train or plane or whatever, I'd like it to be the sort of thing with a lot of length or replay-ability to it. I don't want to buy Mario Land for example, as I'd probably blow through it in a week and then never touch it again.

Any suggestions?

Animal Crossing or Zelda are probably the best choice if you're looking for repeat playability. Project X Zone is also fun as hell if you're a Capcom fan. I'm a huge Mega Man and Resident Evil fanboy, so it kept me entertained.

If you're into RPGs I recommend Shin Megami Tensei 4. It's pretty tough even for a fan of dungeon crawlers.

Noted. How about this Fire Emblem thing?

Mario land had crazy replay value.
