Which 3DS game would you want re-released?

Rpgs and dungeon crawlers are abundant on the ds/3ds. Here's to hoping that the etrian Odyssey collection does well enough that we get to see more of them escape

❤ Project X Zone! In one stage I played a Dead Rising character backed up by a Darkstalkers character, fighting Resident Evil Nemesis on a House of the Dead map. You really have to admire that style!

Radiant historia became one of my favourite games of all time when I first played it in 2020.
You can also tell it draws a lot of inspiration from chrono trigger.

SMT IV, IV: Apocalypse and Strange Journey Redux are GREAT games on the 3DS.

One game that really surprised me was 7th Dragon III - VFD. It never got the love that it deserved, which is sad because there are more games in this series that never made it out of Japan. A unique rpg that needs a second chance! Agreed with all your picks btw, except for Rusty’s Real Deal Baseball bc I had never heard of it so I never got a chance to play it!😭

I can not recommend enough Radiant Historia Perfect Chronology to those who havent played it yet.
Amazing story and interesting gameplay, the time travel mechanic is awesome. I would say this might be the best 3DS RPG

Another great video, amazing list! Kirby Planet Robobot is amazing, and has great amiibo support as well! Kid Icarus Uprising is also amazing. Best of all, a lot of these games make great use of the 3D feature as well.

Man, awesome list here! I love these types of videos, especially as I've just recently started to build out my 3DS library! Right now, SMT IV is at the top of my list to get. It looks fantastic on the 3DS in my opinion. Radiant Historia is the other one I NEED to grab!

Layton vs Wright is an absolute treasure. I adored that game.

I have 8 3ds's between myself and my kids, and hundreds of games... We still play them regularly... I was surprised to find out how much our stuff is worth now... Had no idea prices went so high...

The emulator upscaling on some of the footage really makes 3DS games look amazing.

"Project Cross Zone" was such an amazing game, really would love to see a third game come out on modern consoles. The pixel Art is beautiful, and would be fine with it staying like that. Though part of me thinks a cell shaded effect could go well with newer consoles too. The ridiculous multiverse shenanigans and crazy combat team ups was so perfect.

Radiant Historia was one of my favorite games on the DS! Was really excited when it was announced for the 3DS, now patiently waiting for it to make the jump to the Switch.
Also, caught that Star Ocean music in at the Kid Icarus section, brought back some great memories too.

[GamerbyDesign]

Never seen the first game. Looks cool. Man I never finished Radiant Historia. I got stuck somewhere.

You say "stuck" on the 3DS, but the 3DS is a great system that I would recommend anyone getting in a heartbeat. I might even recommend it over the Switch. Sure the Switch has AAA titles on the go, but aside from 1st parties it is little more than a port machine that owes its success and identity to games that originated on other consoles.

[josephchandrasegaran]

Glad you mentioned Project X Zone. The sequel is Awesome too, and was a pure favourite of mine as a teenager as I would repeatedly the demo version even before I actually owned the game.

[SHGames]

Thanks for actually putting out show length content

100/100

I don't mind games being "stuck" on the 3DS, if only the 3DS itself wasn't stuck in the absurdly regressive region locks.

The 3DS has a huge collection of exclusives; I suppose it's dual screen nature makes it a trickier thing to port from if developers considered it. I'm curious to see which ones were selected given the sheer amount of them.

0:33 - Unfortunately, the strategy game part is what turned me off from Project x Zone. It'd be nice for it and it's sequel to get ports though as the prices of these games are ludicrous.

4:45 - Pushmo had quite a few entries released on 3DS (and I think a Wii U entry), so I'm quite it all but disappeared with the release of the Switch. I know it was designed the 3D of the 3DS in mind but you think they would made another entry or port by now.

11:31 - I prefer Triple Deluxe, but Planet Robobot is also a great Kirby experience. Glad to see one of the many Kirby 3DS games get a mention.

13:25 - You always do a wonderful job of explaining things. It's rather amusing that the evolution of a Metroid series combat came through the form of such a simple thing; an uppercut.

15:11 - Wow, Radiant Historia looks awesome, but as an Atlus made game, I'm unsurprised a PAL territory person like me had never heard of it. The DS entry never released in my territory and this 3DS port released in 2018. Very few 3DS games got recognised at that point. I shall keep an eye out for it though.

A shame my suggestions of any of the Dillon's Rolling Western games didn't make the list but perhaps next time; Dillon's Dead-Heat Breakers is an amazing game that more folks should know about.
