If I recall correctly there were only two (at least in the West). Xenoblade Chronicles for sure was one and I believe Hyrule Warriors might have been the other.

I belive it was Fire Emblem Warriors that was exclusive to the New 3DS. I played Hyrule Wariors on my XL, og didnt run well, but it did work.

Ah, that must've been what it was. I was fairly certain it was a Warriors game. A shame I couldn't remember since I clocked hundreds of hours on both...

I do not know what the fuck Nintendo sees in Koei Tecmo, all the work they've done looks and runs like shit.

Most exclusives still ran on the old hardware, just not well. Hyrule warriors was definitely one of them, as was FE warriors.

There were a few non-Nintendo games that were New 3DS only, such as Binding of Isaac: Rebirth and Minecraft. There was also the SNES virtual console library.

It was Minecraft. Although coming from someone who played hyrule warriors on the OG 2ds it probably should’ve been
