And this doesn't even mention the Virtual Console or eShop exclusive games. Unchained Blades on the 3DS is a great dungeon crawler. I believe it was originally a PSP game
@@SupermanMFL Hahaha, have been making excessive use of it for the past year or so building up my stockpile, doubling down since they announced the closure. I was kinda expecting it after the Wii closed down, but I did not expect it to be this soon. Games were still added this year
The 3DS is by far my favorite dedicated handheld ever made. The library is so rich and deep, and SO MANY JRPGs. I love it. And the backwards compatibility. I never had a DS back in the day (I got a PSP instead), but my 3DS let me discover that library.
Metroid Samus Returns continues to be my favorite entry in the series. Dread was fantastic but there's just something about that 2DS screen and speakers that keeps bringing me in.
The 3DS is a JRPG heaven. More if you count the DS library. Is nuts! Also a lot of games are so uniques for the system like the Etrian Odyssey saga. I strongly recommend The Alliance Alive.
I'm looking to pick that one up on either the 3ds or Switch, whichever is less painful lol. But yeah the 3DS is such a beast and the fact it has access to the prolific and incredible DS library just makes it that much more of a powerhouse!
Amazing collection! The Mario & Luigi RPGs would be a great addition to the JRPG collection, I believe people don't love them as much but I freaking do. They're fun, relaxing games and would totally recommend them to an RPG lover.
Awesome collection! The 3DS is a great JRPG machine with it's library, access to the DS library and Virtual console library. Fire Emblem Echoes Shadows of Valentia is definitely my most treasured game on the system. I normally love Fire Emblem and Hidari's art for the characters made me love the game to another level.
Picked up a 3DS for the first time this year. I've had a Switch for awhile now, and it's good, but man, the 3DS is really something else. I've finally gotten addicted to Fire Emblem on it and right now it's full steam ahead lol
I remember back in 2011 I had my first full-time job and I saved so much money to get a 3DS because I saw legend of Zelda ocarina of Time 3D and I wanted to play it. My favorite games on the 3DS are fire, emblem Awakening and Fates, style savvy series, bravely default and second, super Mario 3D Land, Kirby planet Robobot, Super Smash bros and shovel Knight so many games gave me so many good memories.
That’s such an awesome story! It hits the nostalgia feels when I play the 3ds. Also I only recently found out about the style savvy series and hear they are really well made. You have an excellent top list of games!
Just because the 3ds is my favorite conse of all times and i see you love it as much as i do, you deserve my subscription! Wonderful collection you have there!😭 I had to sell all my 3ds and ds games collection in order to make money to leave Cuba, but i will recover them all at some point.
Great collection. I also picked up my 3ds in late 2016 and really got into collecting after the switch came out and people stopped caring about it. Got so many good games for cheap then. The 3ds is my absolute favorite console of all time. I currently have over 200 games across US, PAL and Japanese regions in addition to 8 consoles. There are a still alot of games I would love to add but not many must buys anymore. I look forward to more interesting 3DS videos from you in the future.
3DS, I had an interest in 2018 and started buying some game. Dam their games are fun! Just finished Stella Glow about 2 weeks ago, great game. Best handheld ever!
The 3DS is definitely number 1 or 2 for me. I adored the GBA back in the day and I have mad nostalgia for it and the games from it. The Legacy of Goku series, Battle Network, and some of the best Pokemon games ever made. I love the classic 16/32 bit style RPGs that last about 20 hours for a standard playthrough but have content, replayability or post game enough to last well into the 100s. Always ensured I felt like I had a full experience without feeling like I was wasting time, while offering me the opportunity to spend even more time when I just couldn't put a game down. Plus I could play my GBC games on it and while I was able to get my favorite Zelda games in the Oracle series onto my 3DS through the eShop, the experience using the cartridge and growing up with that really biazes me towards the original experience, even if the better screens and save states really do make the virtual console releases the best way to experience the games. That said, the 3D on the 3DS is probably one of my most favorite mechanics ever. It completely changed how I saw games, both literally and figuratively, and having the Virtual Console with GBC, GBA thanks to my ambassador program, SNES since I have the New 3DS, and all of the 3D classics and new games. I really go back and forth between the 2 and the only reason I think the 3DS is a little held back is because so many of the games were just a bit too demanding to run well with the 3D a bit too often, some abandoning it altogether, some even not managing to run well in 2D mode, and the screens really do just have a watery resolution for a number of games, even on the original sized 3DS, the New 3DS really missing out on a chance to fix this with even just a 20 or 30% increase to the screen resolution. Still looks good enough on the standard models, but it could look better. The anime cutscenes in all the Fire Emblem games look so crisp, yet the in game cutscenes and battle scenes, and even more so other games just look like they're sunken. A true shame we never got an HD3DS. I'd pay good money for that, heck, I'd even pay my entire collection a second time if it'd get me a system that could play all my games at a smooth 30 or 60 fps with 3D on all of them at even 360p
I finally after owning Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology for 2-3 years finally played it through this year. I agree with you man. It’s one of my favorite, if not one of the best underrated JRPGs I have ever played. I look forward to coming back to play it in a few years.
I love to see 3DS collections, and you’ve got one heck of one! Every time I go to flea markets, my #1 item to look for is 3DS games (especially non-Triple A games). Lately I’ve been on the lookout for a physical of Stella Glow - get it and I’ll be content with my 3DS collection for a long while; it’s an absolute gem of a game I’ve just gotta get physically!
Gosh thank you so much and I'm so happy you enjoyed it! I know what ya mean, everytime I go retro game hunting I check for 3DS games lol. It's getting tough out there too to find games that aren't just ebay prices but it can still happen. Hope you can find a physical copy Stella Glow!
Thank you for the shoutout of Ever Oasis it deserve more love. Now while Fire Emblem is my favorite Nintendo series, Etrian Odyssey is my favorite RPG series that collection is my prize possesion. I have all physical copies except 4 (digital) and while Nexus is a proper sendoff I wished we got Untold 3.
As a tip I would start with 4, Untold 1, Untold 2, 5, Nexus. The only reason I say in release order is because of quality of life features plus 4 is a bit on the easier side. Nice send off song with Storm from Etrian odyssey 4 at the end of the video.
Dragon Quest 7 3D remake is probably my favorite 3DS game. Probably because I played the original Dragon Warrior 7 on Playstation as my first Dragon Quest/Warrior game.
I also recommend you get dragon quest 7 for the 3DS Yes, the game is insanely long but trust me that is a game that people should not overlook. Especially when European fans petition square enix to actually get this ported to the west. Please do not sleep on the Dragon Quest series people
Fabulous collection! Love this video! The 3DS is one of my most favourite handhelds! It's way too good! I am behind on a bunch of games so I need to catch up on some titles and pick up a few more games.
Gosh thank you so much, so happy you enjoyed the video! And I hope you are getting back closer to 100% everyday with your recovery! And don't feel bad, I'm so behind on so many games as well lol. This year of new releases alone has buried me.
Aaah the 3DS :). A system I stuck with from launch day right up until 2019. Still play it every now and then to this day. One of my favorite systems ever and my favorite Handheld of all time. I pride myself of owning every physical release atlus game. 2 reasons I brought them. I knew they would eventually Increase in price and I wanted to play them. I love the Etrian oddysey and persona Q games in particular. I even went as far as to import an American 3DS XL just so I can buy the NTSC boxed games that never came out over here in the UK like popolocrois: a story of seasons fairytale and code of princess. Yep I love the 3DS lol. I already miss that era between 2011 - 2019. Eagerly awaiting new releases each year.
I have a ton of 3ds games and a lot of JRPGs. I bought all of the Atlus RPGs during that massive sale. My top 3 3ds Games of All Time: 1. Shin Megami Tensei IV 2. Metroid Samus Returns 3. Fire Emblem Awakening
All killer no filler! Awesome collection dude! Heroes of Ruin! Yes!!! 😍 You knew I was gonna Squee at that one! Haha Wow just absolute banger after banger here man! Love it! Thanks for sharing your collection with us! Stay awesome HBTG! 🤘
Believe it or not we have almost the SAME collection of games (excluding the platformer ones). I remember people hatin' LBX way back when it was released, said twas for kids, heck that was one of my favorite games in the 3DS, great collection you got there.
Wonderful collection! Loved your enthusiasm towards the system and the games. Honestly I need to boost my 3DS collection and pick up SMT, Fire Emblem, Etrian series, and Majora's Mask. My all time fave on the system are FE Awakening, Ocarina of Time, Ace Combat, and Corpse Party. Cool vid m8!
Thanks! Gosh Corpse Party is one of those games that taunt me lol. I need to cave and pick it up digitally but I hold out hope of finding it one day for 3ds. Excellent game favorites! I am over the moon for the 3ds 🤘
You like a lot JPRGs and thats why im surprised u dont have monster hunter stories! Awesome fun jrpg where u collect monsters! The art is beautiful and putting the 3d effect during the cutscenes hits different! Anyways awesome collection bro and have a good one!
My dude you always got great recommendations on games. I feel like I know most jrpgs & have played many but some of these games I've never seen before. outstanding collection you got there. I was late to the 3ds party too, picking it up around 2020. Better late than never!
I'm so happy you could find some games you hadn't heard of before! I'm constantly having that happen to me as well lol, the 3DS somehow still has an endless of abyss of games I keep having put on my radar. Thanks for watching and hope you have an awesome weekend!
I don't have a lot of 3DS games, but I love the ones I have and fortunately I am able to borrow plenty of games from my brother who has a large 3DS collection. All of the SMT games are definitely worth getting and SMT IV is by far my favorite game I've played on the 3DS as well as being one of my all-time favorite games.
SMT on 3ds is just goat. It still just shocks me at how hard Atlus crushed it on the 3ds. I’m happy you and your brother can share in the goodness tho! My brother is into fps games and won’t touch Jrpgs lol, but we do share a love for anime at least lol. Thanks for watching!
My 3DS physical collection is about 80 games, and I have almost every game I really wanted except for most of the Etrian Odyssey games. Need to get those.
I don't know if you've heard of the Zero Escape trilogy but you might like those parts 2 & 3 are 3DS games and the original is on the DS. Zero Escape 1 & 2 are some of the best storytelling I've ever experienced in gaming.
*Metroid Samus Returns* is probably my favorite 3DS game, with *Zelda A Link Between Worlds* & *Mario 3D Land* as 2nd & 3rd. If I had to choose a non-Nintendo game, it'd be *Dragon Ball Fusions* as it's one of those 'hidden gems' that came out near the end of the 3DS' life. I still have a backlog of 3DS games I haven't played. Too many games, too little time to play them.
Do you have a list of 3ds games that you have like an exel file just listing the games. Because I would love to have a easy way of keeping track of buying your collection 😂😂
I really need to update my GameEye app. That's what I used for years but my iphone is dying and I can't run the app. I'll try and compile an google doc with it and update the description. Thanks for letting me know there's interest in something like this.
I love the 3DS so much and it is responsible for introducing me to so many amazing JRPG franchises such as SMT, Fire Emblem, Stella Glow, and Bravely Default (along with many others!). My favorite game on the 3DS is between Fire Emblem Fates Conquest & Radiant Historia. Both have great stories, but the combat I think is what separates them from the rest of the games I have.
Couldn't agree more! It is where I first experienced the SMT games and just haven't looked back since. It is just incredible and has such a warm place in my heart. Thanks so much for sharing your story!
I would recommend these titles as well: Zelda Majoras Mask Zelda Ocarina of Time Zelda Link between worlds Shinobi Monster Hunter Stories Popolocrois Story of seasons Luigis Dark Moon Dragon Quest VII One Piece Romance Dawn Conception II Cave Story Code Princess Code Princess and Cave Story have been ported to the Switch but they look and play the best on the 3ds.
awesome video 👍 3ds is really beautiful handheld with great games. and yes, Radiant Historia is one of my favourite games from DS and i think they did a good job with perfect chronology.
Man, 3DS was such a damn good handheld. As great as the Switch is, it really did kind of kill future prospects of Nintendo handheld gaming. Like, there was just something so special about the handheld specific titles, and while the Switch can BE a "handheld" it doesn't have that same level of... "magic" for lack of a better word.
Yokai Watch 3 sealed and my copy of Fire Emblem Fates Special edition with the special cartridge that includes all the games and extra chapters on the cart are my most expensive ones.
Awesome collection bro! Absolutely love all of that JRPG goodness! You definitely have to pick up Senran Kagura 2 physically on the 3ds. Another quality 3ds game with lots of great fan service! It's a must own for the console!
I’m so friggin happy I just got it in the mail yesterday! Legit no joke this game is fantastic. I’d have delayed the video if I knew it’d arrive then. Legit must own territory already and I’m like 2 hours in.
Hey, great collection, although a glaring omission is Luigi's Mansion 2, one of the best games on the system ! lol it's interesting your comments about Samus Returns, there's a few other 3DS games that are better than their reputation would have you believe too, including Federation Force, it's really not a bad attempt at an FPS on the 3DS, the 3D effect is gorgeous too, same goes for Hey Pikmin, Chibi-Robo:Zip Line and all five Skylanders games. Hey Pikmin in particular is a really enjoyable little game and the Skylanders games are always written off due to the toys-to-life gimmick but they're actually really great games in their own right, the 3DS versions especially so. The 3DS is such an incredible system, second only to the GameCube for me.
What an amazing collection! Seriously I would buy the majority of them if they weren't so pricey! My 2 latest 3DS purchases (about 6 months ago) were the ones you showed side by side: Radiant Historia and 7th Dragon 3! And I still have to play them! My favorite game on the 3DS is still Fantasy Life and I was taken by surprise by it! I'm not super big into Chibbi style but that one was so charming and fun! I really want to get Ever Oasis some day! Great video and keep up the good work!
Thanks so much! I feel that way about the ps vita Bc I was so late to the party but it is definitely better to be late than never! I’m so hyped you got the 2 games! Both are genuinely wonderful so you got the heavy hitters! I’ve been late to the Bravely Default games Bc I’m not super into the chibi look either but I’m getting into more of them. Thanks for watching and hope your weekend is excellent!
As someone who’s had it with Pokemon titles being constantly shoved in my face, this video was great to watch and see the more underrated, quality games the 3DS has to offer. I’m still getting through Strange Journey, and the dungeon designs and atmosphere is godly.
Dragon quest 8 as well as professor layton vs. Phoenix wright are the 2 games I wish I picked up years ago. They're so expensive and the last games I want for my 3ds
@@HallowedBeThyGame Digimon World Re:Digitize (fan translation) is a great Jrpg, been enjoying it a lot but sadly you need a modded 3ds to play it. Should've been ported, I feel like it's missing from the library 😢
I have Radient Historia on 3ds, and I've heard such great things about it, but I just haven't had a chance to get around playing it yet, I just never have time it seems
@@HallowedBeThyGame I will today i finished filming gamestop pick up vita 3ds games... found more vita games somewhere far away from me in Canada gamestop there shipping it to a gamestop near me :) ... just editing my video and cooking :) thank you will make that video of my 3ds when i get a chance also had someone request a video on my nes adapter lol that i use to play on the snes.
That's great! I can't find 3ds or vita games in my local gamestops anymore. Really big bummer. But that'll be awesome to see your pickups video and the nes adaptor!

Final Fantasy Explorer was a very slow seller in Germany. Also other 3DS games like "Ever Oasis" i like EO but too much copies. After the stores sell out the games. It ist no where top find.
Wait, people didn't like samus returns!? Man, I guess this was on twitter as i'm not heavily active there but wow... some people are just bitter since it's not metroid prime huh.
@@HallowedBeThyGame In PAL territories they’re hellishly rare. I swear they must have only printed 100 of each… I’m holding off on going digital, but I might have to do that if I can’t find copies before the eshop shutdown.
My favorite game is fire emblem awakening and Radiant Historia .LBX is great. I put 100 hours into SMT devil survivor overclocked. I beat every game that you have. I still play my 3ds I am trying to beat all of my games for the second time. The 3ds is my favorite system.
Very nice 3ds collection but you are missing some jrpg masterpiece. You really need Alliance alive, it's similar to Legend of Legacy but it's better in every aspect. Fossil fighters frontier is really fun, explore to find new dinosaur to your team, if you looking something different. Return of popolocrois is very cool game with funny characters. The difficulty is very easy in beginning but it's fix near the end. Etrian mystery dungeon is my best rogue like game. Very balance and lot characters choice. Dragon ball fusions is really good turn based game, this game really surprise me. Monster hunters stories is one of the best title on 3ds, definitly not like other monsters hunters titles. Rune factory 4 is really cool action rpg, a must have.
If you loved Legend of Legacy you owe it to yourself to play the Alliance Alive. I just got Metroid Returns and am loving it. Stella Glow! Nice callout. Check out Lumious Arc 2 if possible. Don't think Etrian Oddysee is gonna top SMT Strange Journey, lol. But at least you got the remakes with more story.
The 3DS is a really great console. I only have a few games, because I only play JRPGs. But also have 2 Zelda games. And I sold Kid Icarus Uprising. I may like the game, but I will never play it again. I don't want to break my hands. I also got Stella Glow before the eshop closed down adding funds. I played every Fire Emblem game on the 3DS and my favorite JRPGs of all time are Tales of the Abyss and Radiant Historia. Abyss is still the best tales game in existence and no one can convince me otherwise. Bamco will never be able to top the story they told in Abyss. This is also why I didn't buy or play any of the newer games. Abyss just set the bar too high. Even Symphonia set the bar so high that it can't be topped. And Radiant Historia, I cried during the ending of that game. And during so many scenes. I played this when I was sick in bed and the amount of crying I did was insane. One of the best games I ever played. Abyss is still at the top though. And I also have an insane Pokemon collection. Because I love Pokemon. I wish they weren't closing the eshop. There are so many games I didn't get to look at, but I also don't have infinite money. At least I can play Stella Glow when I get to it. And maybe finish ProjectXZone 2. Really great game. But my library on Switch is also growing and I kinda have many games to play stil. But I really love my 3DS.
I picked up a few of those jrpg you reccomend at a lower price lol when i make it i will let everyone know i found it on your channel hopfully i dont forget:)
no, final fantasy explorers is pure crap. I was so excited for it and bought it on release hoping for a somewhat monster hunter experience (which is what they were obviously trying for). The mechanics were way more watered down than I had anticipated. Watch the gameplay at most. Again, it's a bad game.
Please consider subscribing for more 3DS and JRPG content! Thanks for watching 🤘
God I first played FE Echoes SOV underrated so much fun I highly recommend the Dlc it’s worth it
And this doesn't even mention the Virtual Console or eShop exclusive games. Unchained Blades on the 3DS is a great dungeon crawler. I believe it was originally a PSP game

And the backwards compatibility. I never had a DS back in the day (I got a PSP instead), but my 3DS let me discover that library.
Yeah the 3DS being able to play DS games just makes it a tour de force for games. Phenomenal jrpg library!
Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology is THE MOST expensive game I ever bought for my 3DS. Over $70 dollars.
Metroid Samus Returns continues to be my favorite entry in the series. Dread was fantastic but there's just something about that 2DS screen and speakers that keeps bringing me in.
Yeah Samus Returns just has this ambiance about it that I can't put my finger on, it stuck with me and I continue to love it and comeback to it
I love how every game seems to be your favorite game.
The 3DS is really underrated. So many gems on this console.
It's kind of like choosing your favorite child. They are all your favorites.

The 3DS is one of my favorite systems of all-time too. You've got a fantastic collection here & we share a lot of the same favorites too 😊

I really need to play it. The 3DS and DS Dragon Quest ports are so friggin good. Incredible games!
I need a 2ds so many great looking jrpgs 🔥🔥 my kinda consile
It's such a great destination for JRPGs!
I also recommend you get dragon quest 7 for the 3DS Yes, the game is insanely long but trust me that is a game that people should not overlook. Especially when European fans petition square enix to actually get this ported to the west. Please do not sleep on the Dragon Quest series people
I need to pick it up, thanks for the reminder
I have try Dragon quest 7 3× , every time are over 100hr and still couldn't beat the game.
Fabulous collection! Love this video! The 3DS is one of my most favourite handhelds! It's way too good! I am behind on a bunch of games so I need to catch up on some titles and pick up a few more games.
Gosh thank you so much, so happy you enjoyed the video! And I hope you are getting back closer to 100% everyday with your recovery! And don't feel bad, I'm so behind on so many games as well lol. This year of new releases alone has buried me.
Aaah the 3DS :). A system I stuck with from launch day right up until 2019. Still play it every now and then to this day. One of my favorite systems ever and my favorite Handheld of all time. I pride myself of owning every physical release atlus game. 2 reasons I brought them. I knew they would eventually Increase in price and I wanted to play them. I love the Etrian oddysey and persona Q games in particular. I even went as far as to import an American 3DS XL just so I can buy the NTSC boxed games that never came out over here in the UK like popolocrois: a story of seasons fairytale and code of princess. Yep I love the 3DS lol. I already miss that era between 2011 - 2019. Eagerly awaiting new releases each year.
I have a ton of 3ds games and a lot of JRPGs. I bought all of the Atlus RPGs during that massive sale. My top 3 3ds Games of All Time:
1. Shin Megami Tensei IV
2. Metroid Samus Returns
3. Fire Emblem Awakening
Extremely quality top 3, thanks for sharing!
All killer no filler! Awesome collection dude! Heroes of Ruin! Yes!!! 😍 You knew I was gonna Squee at that one! Haha Wow just absolute banger after banger here man! Love it! Thanks for sharing your collection with us! Stay awesome HBTG! 🤘
Thanks so much dude! And thank you especially for Heroes of Ruin! I got it on your recommendation! Fantastic game!
Great collection you have there! Would love to see your collection from other systems.
Oh thanks so much for letting me know! I wasn't sure if regular viewers would like this type of video or not.
Believe it or not we have almost the SAME collection of games (excluding the platformer ones). I remember people hatin' LBX way back when it was released, said twas for kids, heck that was one of my favorite games in the 3DS, great collection you got there.
Wonderful collection! Loved your enthusiasm towards the system and the games. Honestly I need to boost my 3DS collection and pick up SMT, Fire Emblem, Etrian series, and Majora's Mask. My all time fave on the system are FE Awakening, Ocarina of Time, Ace Combat, and Corpse Party. Cool vid m8!
Thanks! Gosh Corpse Party is one of those games that taunt me lol. I need to cave and pick it up digitally but I hold out hope of finding it one day for 3ds. Excellent game favorites! I am over the moon for the 3ds 🤘
You like a lot JPRGs and thats why im surprised u dont have monster hunter stories! Awesome fun jrpg where u collect monsters! The art is beautiful and putting the 3d effect during the cutscenes hits different!
Anyways awesome collection bro and have a good one!
My dude you always got great recommendations on games. I feel like I know most jrpgs & have played many but some of these games I've never seen before. outstanding collection you got there. I was late to the 3ds party too, picking it up around 2020. Better late than never!
I'm so happy you could find some games you hadn't heard of before! I'm constantly having that happen to me as well lol, the 3DS somehow still has an endless of abyss of games I keep having put on my radar. Thanks for watching and hope you have an awesome weekend!
I don't have a lot of 3DS games, but I love the ones I have and fortunately I am able to borrow plenty of games from my brother who has a large 3DS collection. All of the SMT games are definitely worth getting and SMT IV is by far my favorite game I've played on the 3DS as well as being one of my all-time favorite games.
SMT on 3ds is just goat. It still just shocks me at how hard Atlus crushed it on the 3ds. I’m happy you and your brother can share in the goodness tho! My brother is into fps games and won’t touch Jrpgs lol, but we do share a love for anime at least lol. Thanks for watching!
My 3DS physical collection is about 80 games, and I have almost every game I really wanted except for most of the Etrian Odyssey games. Need to get those.
That's an epic sized collection! Very cool!
I don't know if you've heard of the Zero Escape trilogy but you might like those parts 2 & 3 are 3DS games and the original is on the DS. Zero Escape 1 & 2 are some of the best storytelling I've ever experienced in gaming.
Etrian Odyssey IV is a dang good game. V is more of a return to the original formula, so a good place to start, I suppose.
*Metroid Samus Returns* is probably my favorite 3DS game, with *Zelda A Link Between Worlds* & *Mario 3D Land* as 2nd & 3rd.
If I had to choose a non-Nintendo game, it'd be *Dragon Ball Fusions* as it's one of those 'hidden gems' that came out near the end of the 3DS' life.
I still have a backlog of 3DS games I haven't played. Too many games, too little time to play them.
Haha i hear ya there, way too many games and so little time. But yeah Samus Returns is just that good, I friggin love it!
Do you have a list of 3ds games that you have like an exel file just listing the games. Because I would love to have a easy way of keeping track of buying your collection 😂😂
I really need to update my GameEye app. That's what I used for years but my iphone is dying and I can't run the app. I'll try and compile an google doc with it and update the description. Thanks for letting me know there's interest in something like this.
Still watching the add before the video, instant thumbs up
Haha you're an absolute legend
I love the 3DS so much and it is responsible for introducing me to so many amazing JRPG franchises such as SMT, Fire Emblem, Stella Glow, and Bravely Default (along with many others!). My favorite game on the 3DS is between Fire Emblem Fates Conquest & Radiant Historia. Both have great stories, but the combat I think is what separates them from the rest of the games I have.
Couldn't agree more! It is where I first experienced the SMT games and just haven't looked back since. It is just incredible and has such a warm place in my heart. Thanks so much for sharing your story!
I would recommend these titles as well:
Zelda Majoras Mask
Zelda Ocarina of Time
Zelda Link between worlds
Shinobi
Monster Hunter Stories
Popolocrois Story of seasons
Luigis Dark Moon
Dragon Quest VII
One Piece Romance Dawn
Conception II
Cave Story
Code Princess
Code Princess and Cave Story have been ported to the Switch but they look and play the best on the 3ds.
awesome video 👍
3ds is really beautiful handheld with great games.
and yes, Radiant Historia is one of my favourite games from DS and i think they did a good job with perfect chronology.
I love that game so much and the 3ds is so incredible. Thanks for watching!
Man, 3DS was such a damn good handheld. As great as the Switch is, it really did kind of kill future prospects of Nintendo handheld gaming. Like, there was just something so special about the handheld specific titles, and while the Switch can BE a "handheld" it doesn't have that same level of... "magic" for lack of a better word.
I know what ya mean, the 3DS really does have an unquantifiable magic about it. Really hits home for me.
Yeah if they made it region free at the time it would be perfect. This little handheld was a JRPG gold mine that's for sure
Yokai Watch 3 sealed and my copy of Fire Emblem Fates Special edition with the special cartridge that includes all the games and extra chapters on the cart are my most expensive ones.
Gat dang I bet! So cool!
Awesome collection bro! Absolutely love all of that JRPG goodness! You definitely have to pick up Senran Kagura 2 physically on the 3ds. Another quality 3ds game with lots of great fan service! It's a must own for the console!
I’m so friggin happy I just got it in the mail yesterday! Legit no joke this game is fantastic. I’d have delayed the video if I knew it’d arrive then. Legit must own territory already and I’m like 2 hours in.
@@HallowedBeThyGame best game ever!!!!!! Buy the dlc for it too.
Amazing collection! 🙌🏻💪
Thank you!
My most prized item in my 3DS collection is my CIB Dragon Quest V
Dang that’s awesome!
I have so many, hard to pick a favorite, but I’m going to go with all of the Shin Megami Tensei games!
Hey, great collection, although a glaring omission is Luigi's Mansion 2, one of the best games on the system ! lol it's interesting your comments about Samus Returns, there's a few other 3DS games that are better than their reputation would have you believe too, including Federation Force, it's really not a bad attempt at an FPS on the 3DS, the 3D effect is gorgeous too, same goes for Hey Pikmin, Chibi-Robo:Zip Line and all five Skylanders games. Hey Pikmin in particular is a really enjoyable little game and the Skylanders games are always written off due to the toys-to-life gimmick but they're actually really great games in their own right, the 3DS versions especially so. The 3DS is such an incredible system, second only to the GameCube for me.
I need to pickup Federation Force, looks like something I'd have fun with. Thanks for the reminder!
Love the video, good work! Do you plan a video for the DS too? Id be excited!
Thanks! Glad to hear there is interest. I plan to eventually do one for all my collection. Thanks for watching!
What an amazing collection! Seriously I would buy the majority of them if they weren't so pricey! My 2 latest 3DS purchases (about 6 months ago) were the ones you showed side by side: Radiant Historia and 7th Dragon 3! And I still have to play them! My favorite game on the 3DS is still Fantasy Life and I was taken by surprise by it! I'm not super big into Chibbi style but that one was so charming and fun! I really want to get Ever Oasis some day! Great video and keep up the good work!
Thanks so much! I feel that way about the ps vita Bc I was so late to the party but it is definitely better to be late than never! I’m so hyped you got the 2 games! Both are genuinely wonderful so you got the heavy hitters! I’ve been late to the Bravely Default games Bc I’m not super into the chibi look either but I’m getting into more of them. Thanks for watching and hope your weekend is excellent!
Man I wish we could get some Etrian Odyssey ports on the switch
It's sad bc they seem like they'd be easy ports to Switch
As someone who’s had it with Pokemon titles being constantly shoved in my face, this video was great to watch and see the more underrated, quality games the 3DS has to offer.
I’m still getting through Strange Journey, and the dungeon designs and atmosphere is godly.
Glad you enjoyed it! Hope you have a blast with the rest of Strange Journey and the other lesser known jrpgs on the 3ds!
Missin Corpse Party and Alliance Alive on your list, I'd definitely grab those, and the Prof Layton games are really good too!
Yeah Def, corpse party looks so friggin good too
Amazing collection!
Thank you so much!
Dragon quest 8 as well as professor layton vs. Phoenix wright are the 2 games I wish I picked up years ago. They're so expensive and the last games I want for my 3ds
I hope the prices come back down in the future. It is crazy how painful some of these prices are now.
Steel diver subwars and tank troopers, steel diver subwars has online battles is amazing
Dang hadn't heard of these, thanks a ton!
I loved your collection and videos, Jrpgs lover over here 🙌
Rock on! Jrpgs for life 🤘 thanks for watching!
@@HallowedBeThyGame Digimon World Re:Digitize (fan translation) is a great Jrpg, been enjoying it a lot but sadly you need a modded 3ds to play it. Should've been ported, I feel like it's missing from the library 😢
Dang I do need to try and play that, I had no idea. Thank you!
I have Radient Historia on 3ds, and I've heard such great things about it, but I just haven't had a chance to get around playing it yet, I just never have time it seems
There's so many games I do this with. There's only so much time in a day, but I hope you have a blast with it when you get around to it!
Excited to watch your collection! I need to show mine someday... im behind o my videos lol
You should! I'd love to see it!
@@HallowedBeThyGame I will today i finished filming gamestop pick up vita 3ds games... found more vita games somewhere far away from me in Canada gamestop there shipping it to a gamestop near me :) ... just editing my video and cooking :) thank you will make that video of my 3ds when i get a chance also had someone request a video on my nes adapter lol that i use to play on the snes.
That's great! I can't find 3ds or vita games in my local gamestops anymore. Really big bummer. But that'll be awesome to see your pickups video and the nes adaptor!
There is one game 7th Dragon VFD. Is an excellent game. Shame that it's the last in series.
Yeah it is devastating it is the last in the series. I'd be there day 1 if it came back

Rodea the sky soldier is also available on the Wii and Wii U if you did not know =) I heard that the Wii version is the preferred.
I just got the dual ips Zelda new 3ds xl... its beautiful
Gosh it is beautiful
Cheapest game I bought is Radiant historia..I got it for 15 bucks at Walmart…worth it
Final Fantasy Explorer was a very slow seller in Germany. Also other 3DS games like "Ever Oasis" i like EO but too much copies. After the stores sell out the games. It ist no where top find.
I have most of these games some are UAE covers..but i don't care as long i can play it and have fun!
Absolutely, that's what it is all about!
mentions Stella glow: *swoons*
Awesome Chrono trigger cap
Glad you noticed!
Wait, people didn't like samus returns!? Man, I guess this was on twitter as i'm not heavily active there but wow... some people are just bitter since it's not metroid prime huh.
Yeah and honestly it is prolly just a vocal minority from reddit and twitter.
Does LBX have a pretty good difficulty or is it pretty easy?
It’s really not very difficult as long as you keep customizing but I thot it was a pretty fair challenge.
I got stuck in a tournament without enough leveling and it ruined my playthrough.
Etrian Odyssey 4 is super good. Dkc returns 3d is a must.
I need to get dkc returns, thanks for the reminder!
Etrian Odyssey V and 7th Dragon III Code VFD are my white whales on the 3DS 😭 I can’t find PAL versions anywhere…
Awe gosh… goodluck! I didn’t know they were that rare for pal
@@HallowedBeThyGame In PAL territories they’re hellishly rare. I swear they must have only printed 100 of each… I’m holding off on going digital, but I might have to do that if I can’t find copies before the eshop shutdown.
My favorite game is fire emblem awakening and Radiant Historia .LBX is great. I put 100 hours into SMT devil survivor overclocked. I beat every game that you have. I still play my 3ds I am trying to beat all of my games for the second time. The 3ds is my favorite system.
Very nice 3ds collection but you are missing some jrpg masterpiece. You really need Alliance alive, it's similar to Legend of Legacy but it's better in every aspect. Fossil fighters frontier is really fun, explore to find new dinosaur to your team, if you looking something different. Return of popolocrois is very cool game with funny characters. The difficulty is very easy in beginning but it's fix near the end. Etrian mystery dungeon is my best rogue like game. Very balance and lot characters choice. Dragon ball fusions is really good turn based game, this game really surprise me. Monster hunters stories is one of the best title on 3ds, definitly not like other monsters hunters titles. Rune factory 4 is really cool action rpg, a must have.
If you loved Legend of Legacy you owe it to yourself to play the Alliance Alive. I just got Metroid Returns and am loving it. Stella Glow! Nice callout. Check out Lumious Arc 2 if possible. Don't think Etrian Oddysee is gonna top SMT Strange Journey, lol. But at least you got the remakes with more story.
I'll have to check out Luminous Arc 2, thanks for the recommendation!
The 3DS is a really great console. I only have a few games, because I only play JRPGs. But also have 2 Zelda games. And I sold Kid Icarus Uprising. I may like the game, but I will never play it again. I don't want to break my hands. I also got Stella Glow before the eshop closed down adding funds.
I played every Fire Emblem game on the 3DS and my favorite JRPGs of all time are Tales of the Abyss and Radiant Historia. Abyss is still the best tales game in existence and no one can convince me otherwise. Bamco will never be able to top the story they told in Abyss. This is also why I didn't buy or play any of the newer games. Abyss just set the bar too high. Even Symphonia set the bar so high that it can't be topped.
And Radiant Historia, I cried during the ending of that game. And during so many scenes. I played this when I was sick in bed and the amount of crying I did was insane. One of the best games I ever played. Abyss is still at the top though.
And I also have an insane Pokemon collection. Because I love Pokemon. I wish they weren't closing the eshop. There are so many games I didn't get to look at, but I also don't have infinite money. At least I can play Stella Glow when I get to it. And maybe finish ProjectXZone 2. Really great game. But my library on Switch is also growing and I kinda have many games to play stil. But I really love my 3DS.
I picked up a few of those jrpg you reccomend at a lower price lol when i make it i will let everyone know i found it on your channel hopfully i dont forget:)
Awesome thank you! I hope you have a blast with them!
@@HallowedBeThyGame thank you :)
radiant historia
My holy grail is Soul Hackers, my favourite 3ds game. Radiant Historia is better on the DS imo.
That's a quality favorite to have too, thanks for sharing!
Shocked to not see a Pokémon game, or Monster Hunter Stories! Anyways, awesome video ss always
Thanks a ton and glad you enjoyed! I really should pick them up and give them a go
@@HallowedBeThyGame also, a game that is imo an hidden gem is sushi striker, way of the sushido
Check it out if you have the chance!
Man we didn't get more than half of these where I live 😔
The most expensive game that I bought on the 3ds is fire emblem fates special edition.
i have all 3DS games including all the regions
For 3ds obviously fantasy life.
Its not ok you dont have the other Yo-Kai watch games LOL but at least you have those Etrian Odyssee games LOL
Where is rune factory 4!
That’s fair, I need to correct that
Some of these games cost a fuck ton now 🗿
no, final fantasy explorers is pure crap. I was so excited for it and bought it on release hoping for a somewhat monster hunter experience (which is what they were obviously trying for). The mechanics were way more watered down than I had anticipated. Watch the gameplay at most. Again, it's a bad game.
It is very bad
dam I'm jealous
You play your games, your not a real collector
