3DS (2DS is just as fine, it's a cheaper alternative to the 3DS, just isn't as visually appealing) is more than worth it. With backwards compatibility it can play all regular DS games plus the huge variety of games the 3DS has. It depends on your interests but there are plenty of games out there that you should definitely try. Pokemon is always one of the best things to go to on a handheld, but the 3DS is nothing short of A++ titles with Pokemon having 4 titles which is always a great experience (Pokemon X/Y and Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire as well as spinoffs), 3 main series Zelda games (Ocarina of Time 3D, Majora's Mask 3D and A Link Between Worlds, as well as a spinoff: Tri Force Heroes.)
As for any Nintendo console there's no shortage of Mario/Kirby/Donkey Kong games.

If you liked Harvest Moon there are 3(?) Harvest Moon games on the 3DS, and also Animal Crossing: New Leaf is sort of in the same vein and is the biggest time sink you'll ever find, with a reason to start up your game every day and keep your town nice and clean.

If you're an RPG kinda guy, there are a lot of great RPGs on both the DS and 3DS. Chrono Trigger (DS), Fire Emblem: Awakening (3DS), Bravely Default (3DS), Tales of the Abyss 3D (3DS) and plenty more. Also Smash Brothers and Mario Kart 7 (both for 3ds) are insanely fun games you will get plenty of hours out of. Overall the 2D/3DS is super worth it, it's by far the best handheld out there right now and games are still being released for it as we speak (the new zelda game tri force heroes was just released not even a week ago!)

tl;dr definitely go with the secondhand 2DS. it's a much better deal and can play both. i'm a huge loser

The nintendo 2ds can play both 3ds and DS games, the only major thing your missing out on is the 3D from the 3DS which I never use because it drains a load of battery life and hurts my eyes. Though I'd recommend the 3DS over the 2DS if you can afford to spend a bit more due to the better form factor.

The 3DS games I recommend are the new pokemons, monster hunter 4, fire emblem and animal crossing. This list contains every good 3DS game, http://www.metacritic.com/browse/games/score/metascore/all/3ds/filtered

Ok thanks dudes I guess it's pretty much what I expected, 2ds + looking like even more of a nerd it is.
Also, thanks for the recommendations I will definitely check them out. Probably after I play pokemon though.

Advance Wars: Dual Strike was by far my most played game on the DS and is well worth the purchase.
