acnl ^^ ive always wanted to play it but since i have a ps3 i didnt want to ask my parents for another expensive console so i got a summer job and bought it with my own money. best decision ive made, seriously.
I think the first game I bought for the 3DS wasn't even a 3DS game... I had bought pokemon black when I bought my 3DS. I did however, buy ocarina of time shortly after.
My siblings got a 3DS each because of Animal Crossing, and soon I followed through with them as well. I think my first game on 3DS was HHD. I’m not entirely sure lol, I have a bad memory.
It was Animal Crossing: New Leaf that got me into buying a 3DS. However, I got my first 3DS back in 2011 (right at launch), knowing that a new Animal Crossing game is coming out (which happened over 26 months later).
I can totally remember what it's like to have a 3DS before worthy titles came out. I even remember back when the eShop didn't exist on the 3DS. I spent the first two months playing Streetpass Plaza games and AR games. My favorite was Find Mii (Part 1). Then it started to change after the introduction of the eShop. Man, the 3DS changed a lot. Can you imagine playing only Streetpass Plaza games and AR games and nothing else? I also remember that Face Raiders existed since the launch of the 3DS.
I was working at Gamestop when the 3DS was released, felt obligated to buy one. Pre-ordered Ocarina of Time and at least two others because "sales". I think ACNL is like the only thing I ever really ended up using it for. Oh and Pokemon Black into Y.
Animal Crossing New Leaf. Not gonna lie, I had no intention of ever buying the 3DS. I couldn't turn down New Leaf though so I bought the 3DS XL and New Leaf.
If it weren't for New Leaf, I'm sure I would have bought the 3DS for ORAS.
