2018 ended up being a better year for the Nintendo 3DS than I expected. In addition to seeing some strong ports of older games like Captain Toad and Luigi’s Mansion, it got an incredible compilation of microgames in the form of WarioWare Gold, showed there was still a place for action gaming with Dillon’s Dead Heat Breakers, and gave us the last, great Virtual Console title on the system in Pokémon Crystal. Each one of those titles provided hours of fun to anyone willing to give the handheld the time of day. 2019 looks like it’ll continue that trend.
As we enter year eight for the 3DS, a small but proven field of developers and publishers are keeping the device alive with new games and ports. Here is a look at the games we know are coming this year, as well as one that hasn’t been 100% confirmed for western release just yet.
