I may or may not be getting a 3DS

I third Theatrhythm and also second the Professor Layton series - they are great games, I love them to bits. Even better, the 3DS is backwards compatible with DS games, so you can easily catch up.

I don't know if you have a DS or not, but even though it isn't technically a 3DS game, I would seriously consider getting The World Ends With You. It's a hidden gem, really.

PS - 3DS is backwards compatible with DS games. People can recommend them to him too.

See if you can pick up the world ends with you. Pretty Amazing game that.

See, this guy's pretty on the ball
