Nintendo 3DS: the five best games for adults

The Nintendo 3DS offers a comprehensive range of games that also appeal to adults. We introduce you to the best action and horror games.

On the Nintendo 3DS: Resident Evil Revelations - the finest survival horror fare

The Resident Evil series is one of the big names in the horror games category. The series is also represented on the Nintendo 3DS with the offshoot Revelations:

• Contrary to the latest home console titles, Resident Evil Revelations remembers the origins of the series and offers the finest survival horror fare. The plot is between the two games Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 5, but can also be played without knowledge of the two games without restriction.
• They take on the roles of the well-known characters Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield and find themselves on a ghost ship, the crew of which has been infected by a new virus. You can also choose many new characters. With your gun ready, sneak through the ship's abandoned and eerie corridors. It is inevitable that there will be one or two moments of horror. Resident Evil Revelations is definitely not a game for little kids with weak nerves.
• Aside from the roughly 15-hour storyline, Resident Evil Revelations also includes a co-op online mode, in which you'll have to fight your way through different levels with another player and improve your skills.

For Nintendo: Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward: Text-heavy adventure with a gripping story

Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward is the sequel to the much acclaimed Nintendo DS game Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors and is one of the adventure games.

• Before venturing to Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward, you should be aware that this adventure game focuses on texts and dialogues. These take up most of the game, but are sometimes interrupted by puzzles.
• Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward tells the story of a group of kidnapped people who find themselves in a perfidious psycho-game. It's about trust and betrayal, and those who don't follow the rules lose and are simply punished with death. The parallels to films like the Saw series are obvious, which is why Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward is aimed at older players.
• A special attraction of Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward is that every decision that the player makes has a direct influence on the further course of the game. There are a total of nine different endings, so it is definitely worth replaying if you want to know everything about the background of the plot.

Metal Gear Solid 3D Snake Eater: The classic for the Nintendo 3DS

Metal Gear Solid 3D Snake Eater is a port of the PlayStation 2 classic Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater to the Nintendo 3DS and tells the origins of the Metal Gear Solid series.

• Metal Gear Solid 3D Snake Eater is especially appealing to gamers who haven't played the classic for PlayStation 2 yet. The 3DS version is in no way inferior to the original, but has even been optically adapted to today's conditions and even offers a stereoscopic 3D representation on the 3DS.
• In addition, there is the sensible integration of the touchscreen, through which you can quickly access maps, weapons and other items. A nice gimmick: With the Nintendo 3DS camera, you can photograph patterns and thus create and use your own camouflage motifs.
• Thanks to the successful adaptation to the Nintendo 3DS, Metal Gear Solid 3D Snake Eater can also be recommended to all those who have already played the classic but would like to make up for it again. On the handheld, the game is particularly suitable for on the go and for shorter gaming sessions.

Batman Arkham Origins Blackgate on Nintendo 3DS: the beginning of the Arkham story

The Batman Arkham games have been exciting on home consoles for several years. With Batman Arkham Origins Blackgate, the dark knight also made the leap onto the handheld.

• Batman Arkham Origins Blackgate continues the action of the console game Batman Arkham Origins and thus the origin story of the Arkham series. Blackgate gives the player further details on the backgrounds and past of the Dark Knight.
• In contrast to the console titles, Batman Arkham Origins Blackgate is a so-called 2.5D game. Instead of going through an open 3D world, you move along predetermined paths that you can leave every now and then. This reminds Blackgate of classic video games such as the Metroid or Castlevania series.
• As the game progresses, Batman gains access to many new gadgets to help defend against the henchmen led by Black Mask, the Penguin and the Joker. Typical for the Arkham series, there are also the detective passages, in which you have to examine the locations for clues.

Resident Evil The Mercenaries 3D: Rich shooting action for the Nitendo 3DS

If you are looking for rich shooting action, you will definitely get your money's worth with Resident The Evil Mercenaries 3D.

• Resident Evil The Mercenaries 3D is based on the mode of the same name from the home console titles of the Resident Evil series and makes this an independent game. Against time, hordes of zombies have to be fought and eliminated in different levels. You will encounter a wide variety of opponents from the Resident Evil series.
• You can choose from various characters from the Resident Evil series. These include old acquaintances like Chris Redfield, Krauser, Hunk, Jill Valentine, Rebecca Chambers, Albert Wesker and Claire Redfield, who fight their way through levels from the games Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 5.
• Resident Evil The Mercenaries 3D unfolds its full potential in multiplayer mode, which you can play either locally or online. With a second player it's twice as much fun to slaughter your opponent hordes.
