Attack of the Friday Monsters! A Tokyo Tale – $7.99

You play a young school kid in Tokyo that helps out at your parents dry cleaning place. When he’s not going to school or helping his parents he’s running around town, exploring, hanging out with his friends, and playing a collectable card game.

Oh! And every Friday a giant kaiju shows up in the field near town and battles a massive hero! There’s that too!

This is a really weird chill experience that I don’t see ever getting a rerelease so it’s worth getting it before you lose the chance to.

Super Mario 3D Land – $19.99

I know, I’m as stunned as you are that there’s a mainline Mario game on here for $20. Especially as this is unlikely to ever get rereleased as it actually requires the 3D for some of it’s puzzles to work like blocks that you don’t realize are closer than you think until you put the 3D on showing a hidden path.

It’s also a really fun game with great stage design and has some of the best 3D direction I’ve ever seen on the system.

Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX – $19.99

This one is for fans of mini games. It’s a great collection of Hatsune Miku songs done in a weird chibi art style. There’s also a bunch of fun mini games involving creating a home for the chibis to live in and adding furniture to it.

It’s a huge memory sink but if you shell out the 9 bucks for a 32 GB micro SD you should have no problem putting everything on this list all on one system.
