I liked that the footage you're showing isn't just the intro parts of every game.

You actually played it and sometimes show the mid-end game which is really nice 👌👌👌

Warning about Cross Treasures. It's impossible to beat the final boss, because you need higher rank of equipment/materials & higher level dungeon to leveling. To get access all of it you need online multiplayer mode, which impossible to do it now because there is no DS server anymore.

"Saga3 - Light & Dark" is a remake of Final Fantasy Legend III and another great game. It not only has the improvements and polish of "Saga2 Goddess of Destiny" but includes the Spark💡system of the Romancing Sagas. Every weapon has a set of special attacks, the more powerful the attack the more weapon uses it consumes. (Just like Saga2 you can repair them very cheaply). Use the skills often or with more powerful weapons to Spark it and learn it permanently for all weapons of the same type, not just weapons have it equiped. (I understand not including it for an implicit "one game per series rule.")

I am a huge Dragon Ball fan and I have never seen that game! Definitely giving it a go, including most of the other games from this list.

Also, I have been watching your videos for a while and I truly respect your passion for video games.

Thanks. Wasn't familiar with many of these. Three more to add to the list. Chibi Robo Clean Sweep, Super Control Mecha MG and Game Center CX 2. All great japan exclusives with fan translations

[JTK_XXL]

Well, there IS a fan translation for Archaic Sealed Heat that was made into a custom DS cartridge which even works.

[rafaelfigfigueiredo]

An really fungame already "covered" here is Chibi Robo (insert long JP name here), the second title for the DS. Is so good, it feels its all the previous game wanted to copy from the GCN

[PeperonyChease]

Archaic Sealed Heat looks great will have to check out that fan translation.

Thanks for one more video, because of you I found the best hidden gems for different platforms <3

TVGS and the NTSC-J DS Games another great video keep them coming

[GreedKo]

Ouendan was released outside Japan as Elite Beat Agents. They modified the story and the graphics but the game is pretty much the same.

[abrahamlupis]

Tingle Rosy's Rupeeland got luck of being available in Europe

[davidt]

I seriously love you man. Most channels say "here is a game you never heard before!" And then you look it up and it's the second best game of that year. They try to sell the most BS takes, but I can always count on you to show me stuff that nearly everyone doesn't know about?

[boygame]

Not in this video, Chibi-Robo Clean Sweep, the true sequel to the gamecube Chibi-Robo.

If you want to play Ouendan, you can also enjoy famous anime songs!! There's Ready Steady Go and Over The Distance and tons more famous jpop :)

[shadowedge]

played some of these thanks to the work of fans translating them, its shame they didnt get an officail relase. loved Saga 2 as well as Dragon quest, spent so many hours playing them during the summer and was worth it

[RYSH_THE_FL]

Thanks for the suggestions😊❤
It's a Shame that none of these good games made it to the West but there are some games that had unofficial Translation like - Ni no kuni, Soma bringer etc.

"Game Center CX 2" is a sequel to "Retro Game Challenge". Yet again you the player are taken back to 1980s Japan to complete the various challenges presented to you by comedian and star of the show "kacho" Arino. Just as fun and comedic as the original with more systems explored than just the one 8bit console. (All the original games of Retro Game Challenge can be played at the convenience store.) You might want to pick this up just to play "Guadia Quest II" the sequel to the "Guadia Quest" which was a *complete* jRPG that is homage to Dragon Quest II but with the full game design polish and quality of life of the current year.
