Today, we’re looking at 10 of the best 3DS games of all time. If there are any you’d like to add, feel free to do so in the comments below.
Though the 3DS’ online servers have been shut down for a few months now, interest in the console hasn’t decreased in the slightest. In fact, it’s quite the opposite – many players have either rekindled their appreciation for it or are just getting into it for the first time. It’s easy to see why, too. The Switch is almost certainly the superior console in terms of software library and game quality, but the 3DS has a few advantages of its own. Its library isn’t as large as the Switch’s, but the titles it does have are excellent time-sinkers and some of the best of their respective series. If you’re able to find or purchase these games second-hand, it’s a great time to get into everything the 3DS has to offer.
Tying in with the launch of C.A.R.D.S. RPG: The Misty Battlefield comes a new trailer for the title. Acquire just published it on Nintendo’s console this week.
Everything you need to know can be found in the following overview:
The new remake of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door on Switch includes a brand new pipe room that lets you travel between major areas as you unlock them, and we’re letting you know how to unlock it. The original game on GameCube was beloved by fans, but one major complaint was all the backtracking you have to do. On Switch, this has now been addressed. You can access the pipe room as soon as you clear the first chapter, and you can go back after clearing every subsequent chapter to unlock a new shortcut pipe to that chapter’s corresponding area.

Yars Rising is now confirmed for physical release on Switch, and pre-orders are live.
Yars Rising, the upcoming Metroidvania prequel to Yars’ Revenge from WayForward, was revealed last month. This is the first time we’re hearing about a physical version. As of now there are only plans for a standard release, so there won’t be any special editions.
For those playing Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, we’ve got a guide for those wondering how to get to Glitzville.
Glitzville (and by extension, the Glitz Pit) is the third area in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. After you finish up with business at the Great Tree, you’ll need to find a way to get to Glitzville in the first place. To do that, Mario needs to find a ticket that lets him ride the blimp. Normally, you’d have to ask around town and even pay certain characters to learn how to find and ask Don Pianta for a ticket. We’ve put together a list of instructions on how to get to Glitzville, including a way to get there without paying Coins to anyone.
