All I have right now are NSMB 2, Mario 3D Land, and Fire Emblem.

I haven't been keeping up with the 3DS, what are supposed to be the good games on the system?

I'm interested in digital and physical releases.

If you like Mega Man/Castlevania style games, Shovel Knight (eshop) is probably best played on the 3DS because the 3D effect on the parallax backgrounds is amazing.

In my opinion the best 3ds games are..

Fire Emblem
Final Fantasy Theatrhythm curtain call (amazing)
Bravely Default (especially if you can get Street passes)
Mario Golf
Zero Escape
Link between worlds
Ocarina of time

I have yet to play luigis mansion, smash, professor Layton, or star Fox.

I also recommend old ds games if you missed them. Professor Layton games. Dragon Quest IX (a must own), Castlevania dawn of souls, final Fantasy iv/v, world ends with you, contact. And many more.

Persona Q tomorrow (11/25). I'm not a big fan of handhelds, but that's one game I'd love to play.

I went to their website and did not see that type of promotion listed? Did you mean that this is for black friday or something? Thanks for the help in advance.

Apparently, the buy 1 get 1 40% off is selected games only, according to their website. :-(

I was just there, it is B1G1 40% off on almost all games with the exception of ones with an "R" sticker on them. Those are B1G1 for $2 sale. I was able to pick up both new pokemon and give one to my brother.
