Based on a character from the box office smash-hit Frozen, Frozen: Olaf's Quest is an adventure-based game where the girls will play as Olaf the snowman as he makes his way through 60 fun-filled levels. But make sure the girls are aware of all the traps that are awaiting them, that way they can unlock some of Olaf's colorful fashion items like scarves, hats, mittens, and buttons. This one is good for kids as young as five, as it's not the most complex of these games but is a ton of fun all the same -- making it one of the best Nintendo 3DS games for girls.

A wide variety of ages will enjoy Hello Kitty Picnic, and this makes it a top notch choice when it comes to 3DS games for girls.

For some of the girls who are getting a little older and like to express their own styles, there's LEGO Friends. This one involves more activities that help with socialization, such as making friends, going to dance recitals, and karate competitions. There are plenty of adventures with new friends, and the girls can even learn the responsibilities of owning pets. Self-expression is the key in this game, as almost every aspect of the girls lives–bedrooms, pet accessories, activities–is customizable to their interests. These special features help hold the growing girls attention and each adventure is something completely new and highly specific.

Think of Style Savvy: Trendsetters as the next level for girls who enjoyed LEGO Friends, as it's recommended for those who are ten and up with a passion for fashion. The gamers can live out their biggest dreams, from owning a fashion boutique to starting their very own clothing line–and almost everything in-between. Players start small by helping others with their shopping and styling needs, even working as a personal stylist, until they're ready to hit the big time and become a trendsetter. This game can even help with some of the girls' future shopping and spending, as it literally teaches them how to shop. It also features some of the markets' hottest styles and there's over 12,000 clothing items and accessories from bags, belts, shoes, and a ton more.

Finding Nemo is one the most successful film franchises in the history of the planet for kids, and it only makes perfect sense that Escape to the Big Blue would make an exciting 3DS game, and one of the best Nintendo 3DS games for girls. Big Blue features three different gaming modes, each one as fun as the last. You can get down under and play as Nemo or Dory and collect sea-tokens that unlock up to 30 mini-games. Before that, you should probably play in adventure mode, escaping Darla and the dreaded plastic baggies and making your way through the subsequent levels that eventually lead to freedom and safety -- the deep blue sea. Even if you've never seen the films -- which, c'mon, is pretty doubtful -- you can still enjoy the aquatic adventures that Big Blue provides. What girl doesn't love adventure?
