12 best empire 3ds games

"Empire" is not a specific Nintendo 3DS or 2DS game title. However, there are various Nintendo 3DS games that fall under the "empire" theme or have "empire" in their title. These games are typically related to strategy, simulation, or role-playing genres and often involve building and managing empires, cities, or civilizations. Here are a few examples:

  1. Age of Empires: Mythologies (Nintendo DS): This is a handheld version of the popular "Age of Empires" series, featuring turn-based strategy gameplay set in ancient civilizations with mythological elements.

  2. Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution (Nintendo DS): Although not directly related to "empire" in the title, this game allows players to build and lead their own civilization to conquer the world, which involves managing an empire's growth and diplomacy.

  3. Empire of Angels (Nintendo 3DS): This is a strategy RPG where players lead a group of heroines in a fantasy world. While not a traditional empire-building game, it incorporates elements of strategy and empire management.

  4. Empire Conquest (Nintendo DSiWare): This is a strategy game that focuses on conquering territories and building an empire through tactical battles and resource management.

  5. Glory of Heracles (Nintendo DS): This RPG title doesn't have "empire" in its name, but it explores the ancient Greek world and mythology, often involving interactions with powerful empires of the time.

Please note that the availability of these games may vary, and new titles related to empires or empire management may have been released after my last knowledge update in 2023. To find specific games related to empires on the Nintendo 3DS or 2DS, you may want to search the Nintendo eShop or check gaming forums and websites for the latest releases and recommendations.

Question: deos this game have multiplayer mode
Answer: Yes online multiplayer
Question: can you play this on a regular 2ds
Answer: You actually can play this on a 2ds!
Question: What is the age? Ok for a 6 year old
Answer: There is certainly nothing offensive in this game, it's just soccer and includes the pro players that are popular from the year before. I am not sure how hard it is or if it might be too complicated for a 6 year old. My son is 10 and loves FIFA and says that the version on the DS is easier than the one he plays on his XBox 360 so it might be a good place to start for a younger child.

User questions & answers

Question: Can you play this on the 2ds
Answer: Yes you can All 3ds games are playable on the the New Nintendo 3d and Xl and also the 2ds and 2ds Xl
Question: Can I play this on my 3ds with someone on the Wii U
Answer: Update: Yes, you can use your 3DS as a controller for the Wii U, but you must have a copy of the game as well.--- Original Response ---Edit: This answer was originally posted early September before the 3DS controller feature was announced by Nintendo.This may be a vague answer, but it seems there will be some sort of interaction between the 3DS and the Wii U. Nintendo recently distributed codes for a Smash Bros demo to Club Nintendo Platinum members. This demo revealed a feature with a picture of the Wii U console, and states "Connect Smash Bros on Wii U" (source: I've personally played this demo, but this feature was grayed out for the demo, so I can't verify how it works).A GameSpot article by Justin Haywald further claims that "You'll be able to use your 3DS as a Smash Bros. controller on Wii U."So in a way, if this connect feature really does enable the 3DS to act as a controller, it'd possible that you could. But it may only be local play (this is pure conjecture).
Question: Can I play online with other players? Or do other players have to be in the same room and also own the cartridge
Answer: You can play online with others who own the game, or locally with others who own the game.
Question: can you update the release date
Answer: Nintendo announce that the 3ds version will release in the summer ( no specific date yet) and the wii u version in the winter. here is the 30 minute video directly from nintendo http://www.nintendo.com/nintendo-direct/04-08-2014/#/video-ndirect
