    Although not a "new" console or handheld per se... just a new colour (and new Zelda game!). ;)

    This is my first 3DS so does anyone have recommendations on some good 3DS games? I already have Mario Kart, Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask, and Fire Emblem: Awakening on my list. Thought I've never played any of the Fire Emblem games, it sounds like something I might like.

    Also, when I open it up, it makes a very audible clicking noise. Is this normal?

    I can't wait to dig into A Link Between Worlds. :D But I gotta finish Wind Waker HD first...

    Yeah, that looks awesome. Unfortunately, I already have a 3DS XL, so it's not going to fall into my hands.

    As for 3DS Games, here's my recommendations:

    3DS:

    Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D (Definitive version -- skip if you have the Wii version)
    Etrian Odyssey IV (hardcore dungeon crawler -- be warned)
    Etrian Odyssey: Millennium Girl (hardcore dungeon crawler -- be warned)
    HarmoKnight (Rhythm Platformer)
    Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon
    Shin Megami Tensei IV (JRPG)
    Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked (SRPG)
    Shinobi 3DS (Platformer)
    Super Mario 3D Land


    3DS e-shop:

    Gunman Clive (Awesome western Mega Man type game and only $2)
    Mighty Switch Force 1 and 2 (Puzzle platformers)
    Mutant Mudds (Platformer)
    Pushmo (puzzle game -- possibly the best game on the system)
    Crashmo (Pushmo sequel)
    Shantae: Risky's Revenge (platformer)
    Steamworld Dig (Metroidvania)
    VVVVVV (Platformer -- Super Meat Boy difficulty)

    I second the Shin Megami Tensei games. They're awesome. That clicking noise is indeed normal.

    Also worth mentioning:

    * Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate (if you don't have it for another system)
    * Animal Crossing: New Leaf (uh, if you are into stuff like that, SHUT UP DON'T JUDGE ME)
    * Fire Emblem: Awakening (THIS IS A GREAT GAME, BUY IT)
    * Heroes of Ruin (if you like Diablo style games, this is a decent one)

    Welcome to the 3DS club. ;)

    Hmm, I kind of want one but this thing is just a little too new for any hope of a sweet Black Friday deal. If there's a good Vita deal I may grab one... just because of all the free PS+ games... and that streaming PS4 gameplay will come in handy at some point.. right...? Maybe...?

    3DS does have some nice games though. One day it shall be mine.
