Gaming Chill games for 3ds?

[FreezeMango]

Hello

In search of relaxing games for 3DS besides Animal Crossing New Leaf. Don't get me wrong, it's good, but I'm rather interested in something else.

The game might have such characteristics:

• Calm or a jazzy soundtrack (Like in Picross 3D)
• Soft colors (Like in Kirby Dream Land 3)
• Relaxing setting
• Slow-paced story
• Simple language (Especially, if the game's in Japanese)
• etc.

Would've been cool for it to be an RPG, but anything, even a puzzle game, is good enough on it's own. It even might be not for 3DS, but for og DS, or a GBA/SNES game

Thanks in advance

Hey! Pikmin came immediately to my mind. It's not a typical Pikmin experience, but the word chill aptly describes it. Laid-back, fun little game.

I would recommend both Releases of the Persona Q:

1. Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth [2014]
2. Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth [2018]

Both have the jazzy City Pop melodies from their main Persona Games, and both are as slow as you want them to be, seeing they are Turn-Based. I personally would recommend the Undub Japanese Audio, English text versions whenever possible.

Additionally, if those resonate with you, you can also try the whole Etrian Odyssey Franchise and Game Engine, which they're based on.

Admittedly, they don't have the same Music Genre audio, but are relaxing in a classical RPG way; a more recent comparison would be Genshin Impact's soundtrack.

You might like Denki blocks! (GBA), I loved it.

And maybe, though it's a wargame: Advance wars (GBA/DS)

IMO, can't get any more chill than the Picross series. I'm nearly done completing them all on 3DS, mega picross mode included. Just have e8 and half of Sanrio to complete now.
