Man, I never got around to play the first game.

Me too. But then again, I only have Switch.

I got a Japanese 3DS shortly after it launched and didn't use it much for pretty much its whole life cycle because I moved back to the US in 2012 and either import cost or language barrier was prohibitive for most games. Then I region unlocked it last year and now I'm having a blast discovering the great library I could have played but chose to miss out on, the only downside being that I couldn't buy DLC since I still couldn't access the US eShop (and it's closed now anyway). You could probably pick one up for a pretty low cost right now and I recommend you do before it becomes sufficiently "retro" for prices to skyrocket. Once the Wii U certifiably failed they put most of their quality effort into the 3DS and it shows. (I still liked the Wii U though.)

Even if I get the 3DS, I would have to hunt down the physical games, which isn't easy where I am.

I am fine with missing out on previous stuff. Most of the good one will hopefully come to modern consoles anyway.
