List of Nintendo 3DS games

The international white Nintendo 3DS banner used on current and upcoming retail game covers (top). In Japan, the banner is black for Nintendo 3DS games rated by CERO as C or higher (bottom). Nintendo Network-compatible games feature a small logo on top of the banner, but as of November 2014, the small Amiibo logo is dominantly featured instead, even if said games also supported Nintendo Network. The Nintendo Network logo will continue to feature if Amiibo support is definitely absent. Actual retail game case covers the banner are flipped vertically. Game cases for games dedicated exclusively to New Nintendo 3DS (such as Xenoblade Chronicles 3D) feature a different template layout.

This is a list of retail and downloadable Nintendo 3DS games released or planned for release physically on Nintendo 3DS Game Cards and/or digitally on the Nintendo eShop.

Games

The Nintendo 3DS portable system has a library of games, which are released in game card and/or digital form.^[1] Numerous titles of games here are subject to change.^[2] This list does not include downloadable games available via the Virtual Console service.^[3] The Nintendo 3DS family is backward compatible with its predecessor, the Nintendo DS line, and its software, including most DSi software.^[4]

The list is initially organized alphabetically by their English titles or their alphabet conversions, but it is also possible to sort each column individually by clicking the square icon at the top of each column. The Nintendo 3DS system is region locked, meaning that in reality each system has a restricted library of games to select from, depending on the region of the device;^[5] the list below displays the availability of games within each of the four regions.

For a chronological list, click the sort button in any of the available regions's column. Games dated February 26, 2011 (Japan), March 25, 2011 (Europe), March 31, 2011 (Australasia), and March 27, 2011 (North America) are launch titles of each region respectively.
