Since getting mine at Christmas, I have two games: Mario 3D Land and Shadow War's. I love both games!

I have the following games so far:

Street Fighter IV
Ridge Racer
Shadow Wars
Rayman 3D
Splinter Cell
Steel Diver
Pilotwings
Lego Star Wars
Driver - Renegade
Zelda Ocarina of Time
Super Mario Land 3D
Mario Kart 7

Coming up next... Centipede, Oregon Trail (I loved this back in the 80's!!), Star Fox and I think I wanna pick up the Resident Evil game that came out last summer too.

Here's a big ol' list of what I've got so far. For the games I've actually had a chance to extensively play (4+ hours at least) I've given a little mini-synopsis of my feelings toward it:

Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy - Have not played.
Bust-A-Move Universe - It's alright. More or less just the same old arcade game most everyone's played, but it has nice 3D effects. Not bad for $10. Get if you can find it cheap.
Dream Trigger 3D - It kinda went for the Rez feeling and fell flat on its face. Paid $30 for it and felt ripped-off. Would've felt ripped-off at $10 even. Pass.
Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars - Had some bugs initially but since the system update to correct the problem I haven't seen any. Interesting little turn-based strategy title. Get.
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - Excellent port. Nothing else to say here. Definitely get.
Mario Kart 7 - Feels like the Wii version. Definitely Get.
Pac-Man & Galaga Dimensions - Mediocre translations of original arcade titles. Decent handheld versions of the downloadables on XBLA/PSN, and a couple of interesting 3DS exclusives. Maybe get if you find it cheap.
Pilotwings Resort - A fun little game that demonstrates the 3DS well, and is a good installment in the Pilotwings franchise. A little on the easy side at times, but lots to do. Get.
Pinball Hall of Fame: Williams - Worst port of the game. 3D visuals are nice but framerate is slow, sound is a little iffy and grainy. Better pinball sims coming. Maybe pass.
Ridge Racer 3D - Basically just a port of other Ridge Racer games you've played before. Nothing new to see here except it's in 3D, and 3D looks nice. Get if it's cheap.
Samurai Warriors Chronicles - Samurai Warriors in 3D on a handheld. Otherwise, nothing really new here. Get only if you like the Warriors franchise.
Splinter Cell 3D - So much promise. Ported the best game of the series. Took out the multiplayer. Made the 3D God-awful. Pass.
Starfox 64 3D - Great port of the original N64 game. Get.
Steel Diver - 3D visuals, but plays like an old-school side-scrolling arcade type game. Can swear I've played something similar in arcades before. A little on the short side, and slow-paced, but fun. Maybe get if its somewhat cheap.
Super Mario 3D Land - If you already have a 3DS, I ought not to say this. Definitely get.
Tetris Axis - It's Tetris, and it does some 3D stuff. There's an AR game to play. But basically just Tetris. Maybe get if it's cheap.

And there you have it, folks.

Forgot one. I was diging through my games and found Driver Renegade. Oh, and it's L to the A to the M to the E. I would say stay away from this steaming pile of shit, even if you are a fan of the series.

I'll go:

Lego Star Wars Clone Wars: If you haven't gotten sick of the Lego games yet, this is a solid buy, especially for the $20 asking price. The 3d is really nice too.

Asphalt Racing: I traded it in - the framerate in 3d bothered me. Very generic and just felt like a cheap cell phone game more than a full retail release.

Ghost Recon: A must play if you even remotely like turn based strategy. Not the "oh wow, look at the 3d" showoff title, but one that you'll spend hours in front of.

Mario Kart: It's Mario Kart in 3d. It's super pretty, really fun and the online is actually good. Only complaint is the traditional complaints of the game cheating to keep races close.

Mario 3d: Amazingly fun game. Very nice looking, controls like a dream and I actually like the levels better than Mario Galaxy.

Star Fox: It's Star Fox. Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of the series, but picked it up anyways and haven't played it that much. If you like the series it's probably a no brainer though. 3d is really nice on this one - great depth.

Zelda: I've never played OOT until this so I'm having a lot of fun - but it is a more traditional Zelda in that there are many moments where you really aren't certain where to go next. It can be frustrating, but it's a classic that I'm glad I could finally play.

Nintendogs: Same gameplay with a few more things to do - graphically very impressive. The animals all look fantastic though and of course kids love it.

Pacman/Galaga: I really like Galaga Legions and Pac Man Championship, but the other games are sort of meh. I paid $20 and think that's fair, but anymore and I would have ticked. I kind of think the games i liked are worth $10 each and the rest is just kind of bonus.

I also have Xevious 3d and it's really fun - just don't turn the 3d all the way up it's way too strong! My next game will probably be Pushmo on the download side of things and I may go back and get DOA or Street Fighter since I don't have any fighting games yet and that genre was never well represented on the DS.

So no one has gotten WayForward's eShop title Mighty Switch Force? It should be quite good, I would think.

Must have missed Xevious 3d. Gotta get that! Sounds like it would look really great!

I added two more by using Nintendo Club coins.... Xevious 3D and Super Mario Kart. Both are fun and the price was right.
