Found myself getting one with Mario Kart 7. Any good game suggestions? Can't seem to find a 2D Pac Man game for it like Pac Man Championship

So many great games. Start with these:

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
Fire Emblem: Awakening
The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
Shovel Knight
Super Mario 3D Land
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D
Fire Emblem Fates: Special Edition
Pokemon X/Y
Pokemon Sun/Moon
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate
SteamWorld Heist
Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon
Xenoblade Chronicles 3D
Monster Hunter Generations
Metroid: Samus Returns
Super Smash Bros.
Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D

I also really enjoy playing all the old Zelda games on the Virtual Console (Minish Cap, both Oracle games, Link's Awakening, A Link to the Past).

I can't play Street Fighter without an arcade stick

The 2DS is backwards compatible with older DS games. Extended that library even further as many games are dirt cheap now on online.

Thanks for the list of games. I'll certainly check them out. I need to get the Zelda games as I'm a big RPG fan and have never played them as I'm quite new to Nintendo.
