For better or worse , I ' ve played probably 8595 % of 3 DS games released in the U . S . reviewer for 10 years here . It ' s horrible to be cursed with the knowledge of the depths of awfulness I ' ve seen in 3 DS shovelware . The fact that people have said Mario Party , Sticker Star , even LEGO City Undercover are the worst 3 DS games tells me that I am a lone bearer of knowledge on the 3 DS games that are ACTUALLY awful , and deserving of the worst title award . Consider yourselves lucky . Sheltered , but lucky that if the games listed here are really the worst to you , then not playing tons of games hasn ' t exposed you to what a truly awful game looks like . The worst 3 DS game , the ACTUAL worst game , not just one that disappointed you personally , is pretty easy to pick out . It ' s actually a tie between Young Justice and Tenkai Knights . I won ' t go into the whole explanation here , but you can find my reviews of both at The Gamers Temple . Neither game has a single redeeming feature beyond the fact that yes , when inserted into a 3 DS system , their awfulness doesn ' t cause the handheld to pull a Samsung Galaxy and explode in your hand though that would be more exciting than playing either game . Dragon Quest is too slow ? LEGO City Undercover has long load times ? Whatever reason was given for Mario 3 D Land ? Gimme a break . All the games listed here thus far are masterpieces compared to these two . Like I said , consider yourselves lucky you ' ve not played any truly bad games , just ones that may not have grabbed you personally . Comparing the games listed to those I ' ve mentioned is like comparing a spa day and a nice massage to a kick in the face with a steeltoed Kodiak workboot and a trip to the E . R . , bloodied and bashed name that reference ! . For all the shit reviewers get , for problems real and imagined mostly the latter , at least we are doing our part to play the games no one else wants to and keeping you away from them . Even out of morbid curiosity , never , ever play either of these games . You ' ve been warned .
