Virtue's Last Reward. I bought my 3DS after finding out that ACNL and Pok?mon X & Y had confirmed release dates, but wanted a game to play in the wait for the release.
I bought my 3DS just before the release of ACNL. It came with Super Mario 3D Land, but I also bought Sticker Star to play while I was waiting for ACNL.
The first game I bought was The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D when it first came out along with aqua blue 3DS when it came out. I also got Sims 3 for the 3DS and pre-ordered Animal Crossing New Leaf all at the same time.
I remember it was Link Between Worlds and Ocarina of Time. I hadn't even really known much about the 3ds having Zelda games until I went into Best Buy, saw those games, and immediately bought one. ^_^ So glad that I did!
The first game I received with my first 3DS (it was a Christmas gift!!) was Mario & Luigi: Partners In Time. I'd played the entire Super Mario side-scrolling series dating all the way back to the NES, but this was the first of the RPG series I'd played. And I loved it. Great game. I have yet to do it, but I'll be going back & playing the rest of the series.
The first game I actually purchased was NES: Remix. Which I pictured as a game where you could play a bunch of NES games. Perhaps new boards and different levels. Turns out it was just a series of time trials. Which was cool. Nothing I would rave about & not what I thought it would be, but still was fun to play.
Well, I was given this "Lego Marvel Superheroes: Universe in peril" as a gift from a councilor at school because she knew o planned on buying myself a 3DS for Christmas. The first game I bought however, was Animal Crossing: New Leaf. Man, I remember how badly I wanted to play that game back in 2014...
i think it was pokemon x and animal crossing new leaf; i remember specifically buying the 3ds for pokemon and the fact that aa was also releasing dual destinies... my ds is basically a $200 aa machine
