Phoenix Wright (Any of them) – $2.99

Listen, the Phoenix Wright games are fantastic and if you haven’t played them or just want them, this is a great time to do so. All the Phoenix Wright games (with one exception I’ll talk about later) are $2.99 and you need to swoop. Here’s the ones that you can snag:

  • Dual Destinies
  • Spirit of Justice
  • Apollo Justice
  • Ace Attorney Trilogy (the first three games)

Get on it. I object(ion) to anyone who doesn’t.

Sega 3D Classics Collection – $19.99

Listen, when the 3DS is gone it’s going to be a long time until we get to see a 3D device like that again. Personally, I loved it. As someone with depth perception problems, I actually see 3D on the 3DS better than I perceive it in real life. I love the 3D effect.

And, luckily, I also love old Genesis games.

This is a collection of old ones (yes, including Sonic) that have been revamped in a way to make them appear 3D and they do it well. If you want something where, years down the road, you can show someone the 3D effects of this system, this is a great show piece with a lot of fun.

Pokemon Dream Radar – $2.99

Another feature you’re probably not going to see for a while is AR gaming with a handheld. Pokemon Dream Radar was this really neat gimmick that tied to the release of Pokemon Black and White 2 that allowed you to find Pokemon in the real world by looking around using the system camera.

It was also one of the easiest ways to get exceptionally rare Pokemon like Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus in their Therian Forms. If you’re looking to keep your 3DS so that you can play the older Pokemon games and transfer them to Pokemon Home (through the Pokemon Bank that you better still keep installed) then this will give you access to some absolute gems while also providing a fun AR experience.
