A 3DS Game That Actually Uses The 3D Well

Super Mario 3D Land may seem overly simple at first but as you progress in the game the challenge and enjoyment increases to the point where I call it one of the best games on the 3DS.
Nintendo took a new approach to this Mario game that hadn't been done before. Instead of creating another left to right 2D platformer or a 3D open world approach, Nintendo decided to create a hybrid of the two. This game has a 2D approach to it but it's in a 3D world. For most of the game you are either going left to right, bottom to top, or down to up but it's in a 3D world so there's depth to it. The success of this game allowed for Super Mario 3D World to be made for the WiiU.
The design of the game appears to have one aspect of the 3DS in mind. 3D. I haven't played many games on the 3DS …
