For some reason I was notified that someone replied to me in this thread, weird...

Anyway, the list is listed, now you can try the demos first before making up your mind.

Personally I'll recommend Fire Emblem : Awakening. Don't let the grid based movement hinder you from actually getting into the series. To me, a newly induced members of the Fire Emblem scene, it's oddly fulfilling. Sure I love 3rd person gameplay, the open world of GTA, Elder Scroll, etc. But somehow FE:A with it's grid based gameplay I was hooked. Words can't describe, you need to play it first which I recommend the demo and see if it float your boat. To me the boat transformed into a helicopter autobot and flew away.

Second game I've been playing a lot lately is Harvest Moon A new beginning. Not much I want to say, it's harvest moon. The charm is there, the openness is there, the cow is there, the love is there. Plus a lot of new things that will fuel love to the series. Like others have said, the game started off slow, I actually put down the game for about two days because of the slow start. I thought, hell this is boring, I can't get any money, I only have one cow, health go down to fast can't get anything done, I want to fish. But after a while, I picked it up again, played it, give it a go and now, I played it more than FE:A...

I share others enthusiasm with the new lineup for 3DS : Pokemon X/Y, Rune Factory 4, Animal Crossing and Hopefully a localization of Fantasy Life which I believe is kind like an MMO yes?

yup, there's a demo. Thats the safest thing to do, see whether you'll like it. Just because the game gets a good rating doesn't mean that it's for everybody right? I haven't touch Mario Land and Zelda OoT for sometime now..
