I recently picked up a 3DS LL and i’ve already been playing some games on it and i’m having a blast so far, I’m just wondering if anyone could recommend me some short but charming games since those types of games are the ones i usually find myself enjoying the most.
Sadly most of the really short games I can think of were download-only games, so they are lost now. But if you don’t care, I’d definitely recommend the already mentioned Attack of the Friday Monsters. I really liked Ikachan which is very short (under an hour), it was made by the same person who made Cave Story, I think. I could be wrong about that. Bloody Vampire also was a nice and simple Metroidvania style game.
As for actual retail games, I guess the Kirby platformer games would fit that description. The 3DS ones, especially Triple Deluxe, are some of the better ones in the series. The Mario & Donkey Kong games are also rather short, but really nice puzzle games.
