I'd recommend waiting for the Neo or at least waiting to hear what Sony will say about it which seems like something will be announced about it on Sept. 7th.
Truth be told I don't really even want it that much, as I am surprisingly content right now playing old Wii and 3DS games. But it's a nice gesture and I'm going to accept it graciously.
You wouldn't be interested in Uncharted 4, would you? I'd love to have friends join me for some multiplayer.
The dark souls series, should you have not yet played them? I hear the combat is similar to Monster Hunter. I could tell you firsthand, had my Prepare to Die Steam copy not been buggy to the point where I can't save. 
Rocket League
Velocity 2x
Furi
Alien Isolation
Dark Souls 3 and not Dark Souls 2
Bloodborne
Wolfenstein and Doom
Shovel Knight
Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator
Helldivers
Alienation
Resogun
A lot of those are really good, unless you hate fun.
I'd go with Dragon Quest Heroes. I wish I could play that game right now. 
I have never played any of the Uncharted games. I'm not sure if I want to jump on that bandwagon now.
I have heard a lot of great things about Doom. I'm not very good at first person shooters, but I did enjoy the original back in the day and I have heard this one seems to borrow from the old school ones. Maybe I'll look at that.
Perhaps a shortlist of games you are not awful at, as a guideline for those of us who'd like to propose some more games?
Or you could thank your relatives, sell it, and just get a New3DS. That way you could enjoy MH4 more and not have to worry about what new franchises to step in to.
Or maybe I should just sell it and buy a nice painting of a bridge instead.
2-d platformers
Rune Factory /Harvest Moon
2-d Fighters
Puzzle games
Anything like Monster Hunter

I say sell it, find a cheap artist and commission a painting of yourself being a badass at playing Dark Souls. Eat that Miyazaki!
Skulligrls is supposedly very good?
Alien Isolation
Metal Gear Solid 5
Far Cry Primal......its not really a "shooter". More like a 1st-person survival adventure.
Divinity Original Sin
2-d platformers -- N++, Rogue Legacy, Shantae and the Pirate's Curse, Spelunky
Rune Factory /Harvest Moon -- Don't Starve
2-d Fighters -- King of Fighters XIV, Mortal Kombat XL
Puzzle games -- Tumble Stone, Talos Principle, The Witness
Anything like Monster Hunter -- Toukiden Kiwami, God Eater: Resurrection

If you have a 4K TV to take advantage of it to the fullest...

I do believe that Dragon Quest Heroes is just what you need. Mashing buttons and kicking hundreds of enemy asses at a time while looking badass all with the Dragon Quest aesthetics sounds perfect.

Yep. It is at the top of my list. I am very due for a new Dragon Quest experience of any kind.

Yep. That, Mafia III and Persona 5 are all on my upcoming release wish list.
Is there anything else I might be missing out on? Maybe something older or an indie game that flew under the radar (that isn't a tremendous piece of overrated fecal matter)?
