I'm just going to leave one comment; the content of the thread seems intended to introduce people who already love their 3DS to obscure classics they may have missed, while the premise of the thread seems intended to introduce people who are skeptical of the 3DS to the top shelf stuff they claim it doesn't have.
Because these two things are at odds, you are going to fail in your premise. People who are skeptical of the 3DS will enter the thread, see stuff like Virus XX and even Samurai Warriors Chronicles, and say "wow, those look like piles of shit". Meanwhile, I don't believe the 3DS has a deep enough library of hidden gems to need to educate people who are already active fans of the system--so if you did mean to aim at fans who are looking for the diamond in the rough, well, the thread is premature.
The DS thread with all the games worked so well because everyone already knew the DS had great games, but almost no one actually knew how many it had, so the thread's purpose and content were very aligned. The thread was curated by ethelred, who repeatedly beat back suggestions to add marginal titles just because someone out there liked them. I might not have liked all of the titles on the list personally, but they all justified their inclusion through critical or GAF reception as an aggregate. And pretty much everyone who entered the thread found something they didn't know about and found interesting.
By all means continue the thread and use whatever guidelines you want to decide what goes in the OP. This is just my immediate reaction.
I've heard mixed to negative things about: Samurai Warriors Chronicles, Senran Kagura, Doctor Lautrec, Ridge Racer 3D, Dead or Alive: Dimensions, Steel Diver, Cubic Ninja. I've heard nothing at all about the 3DS port of Sonic Generations, Gundam 3D, Virus Shooter XX, Pokemon Rumble Blast.

Are these games actually, well, confirmed to be good?
