Hey guys as you probably already know I am a huge fan of the Nintendo 3DS, own 20 games, and have also imported a Japanese unit.
This thread is meant to be an encyclopedia/recommendation to show just what games are out there for the Nintendo 3DS and what's coming in the future.
Looking for a good source of screenshots for games, PM me! Also, game recommendations. Feel free to correct me if I place games under the wrong genres.
