I might come off as rude, but... why do you even play games at all? You don't seem to want to play ANYTHING.
You just did not read through the topic... I mentioned there the games I played and which I liked. Yes, I play games, of course. If I was not playing games, why I would buy all these consoles I have (PS2, Xbox360, PSP, DSi, 3DS).
Some genres are not for me. Means, I played a lot of arcade when I was young, and now they just do not catch me... Racing, fighting games never hook me, even when I was young. So whole genres skipped not because I played 1 game and decided to close whole genre, there were many tries, do not think that I do fast decisionsScorp, from what I am understanding, I'd like that games that you want and they would make me pick up the 3ds much more often. Unfortunately for you, there just isn't anything else than what's been mentioned.
Frankly, if I'm understanding your tastes well, you should just investigate PC games and leave the consoles alone.
OTOH, you seem to dismiss whole genres/series because you don't like one game. Maybe that's just my interpretation.
In an effort to recommend a game, I'd say Retro City Rampage and Lego city, but I have a felling those wouldn't quite hit your itch.
I will note your suggestion, but yes, from first sight they do not look as "the one"
