Well, the whole issue for you was getting notice right? As long as you get notice of when stuff goes live you're good. See, another reason you should have joined the amiibo goon squad. It's not all amiibo ya know. We also have a deals alert chat for deals (like today scored eShop and PSN cards for 10% off), website glitches where you can get 2 games for like $20, preorder alerts for NON amiibo items- we were alerted to these New 3DS models before even GameStop knew they were selling them and other noteworthy deals and Collector Edition alerts. And we have a gaming chat for playing Splatoon, Gears Ultimate, Mario Kart, Call of Duty... Whatever game we wanna play online together.

Anyways, not a bad list for 3DS games. At least Fire Emblem Awakening is in there. Just make sure to get Fates, probably both versions (who wants less of the greatest game ever made? Absolutely no one! Buy both!)

And if you didn't have Zelda Link Between Worlds on your list, you really need to edit that in right after Fire Emblem. It is my favorite Zelda I've ever played. Others of note are Etrian Odyssey Fafnir Knight, Mario Golf World Tour (trust me it's excellent, WAY more than you expect), Star a Fox 64 (playing this one in 3D should be mandatory for your 3DS owners entrance exam), Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate (give this one a chance, trust me- it's come a long way from what you played on Wii), Little Battlers eXperience (this one surprised me- it's the game I'm playing now and it's CHOICE).

Also, Tales of the Abyss is like the greatest Tales game ever made, and there's Legend of Legacy coming out next month in a BEAUTIFUL collectors edition for just $40 ($31.99 with GCU @BB, this one is huge like Bravely Default), and Final Fantasy Explorers releases in January if you wanna get down on some playtime with me.

And of course don't miss Resident Evil Revelations, or Mario Kart 7 or Smash Bros, and of course Code Name STEAM if you liked the demo. It was on sale today for just $20 ($15.99 with GCU). And you can never go wrong with Ocarina or Majoras Mask, and games like Kirby and Yoshi are decent ebough.

And don't forget about the eShop! Mario vs DK Tipping Stars is crossbuy, remember (and FANTASTIC). Pushmo, Crashmo and Stretchmo are choice, Box Boy is absolutely brilliant (black and white box platformer by HAL Labratories), Dr Mario Miracle Cure is great if you're a Dr Mario fan, Shantae Pirates Curse and Shovel Knight were meant to be played in 3D, and you would really dig the Pokemon free to play I think.

Got all that?
