Almost all of Nintendo's games for it are fantastic, but a few stand above the rest: Super Mario 3D Land is excellent, and so is Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. And Mario Kart 7 is sort of a no-brainer, too. It's Mario Kart!

If you like role-playing games, I second the suggestion for Bravely Default, and I'd also recommend Fire Emblem: Awakening. There are tons of RPGs on the 3DS, from Pokémon to Persona, so whether you want to be the very best (like no one ever was) or be the most troubled Japanese high school student ever, you'll be able to find something your speed.

If you'd like a change of pace from all that heavy world-saving, both Harvest Moon: A New Beginning and Animal Crossing: New Leaf are excellent "life sims," although AC's über-cute style is off-putting to some adults.

There's a wide selection of downloadable titles from the eShop, too—both some overlooked gems from Nintendo, like the puzzle-y Pushmo, as well as some great indie titles, like the retro Shovel Knight.

Finally, here are all the new releases I'm looking forward to this fall, which may or may not interest you at all:

and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong
