Put on your kettles! Mr. Tea coming back strong after a rest and a recharge!! Love me some Nanostray! That and its sequel are prob my fave spaceship shooters for DS. Mario and Sonic getting too old to qualify for the Olympics lolol. Looking forward to the Fire Emblem Olympic Games haha. Electroplankton I’ve played, probably in about 30 minutes. It’s a cool tech demo but nothing more. I think there is a song creation mode which would be cool but the hardware is so antiquated it’s a bit obscure. I think it was a launch or around launch title for the console. Nevertheless a fun one to quickly knock off the games list. Mario Odyssey ahh the memories. Earth Night looks bizarre but the concept js cool, plus bonus points for dragons. Great update! See you in the next one 😎 🍵

Super Princess Peach is outstanding. A word of caution: you have to rescue ALL the hidden Toads in each level if you want to fight the final boss. While you can finish stages and come back later to round them all up, it’s a bit of a chore, so it’s best to do it when you’re play through the first time.

i really liked Graces F i beat it twice back on PS3 and enjoyed it both times. the 2nd time was with new game plus and you get tons of over powered bonuses that makes the 2nd play through a cake walk. but it is a good entry even though i do think the cast of characters are not my absolute favourites in the series but it was still good

Hey Tea. Good luck with the next batch of games. I’m with you on DKC Returns, but I’m playing it on the 3DS. Tropical Freeze was underwhelming for me, so it’s not like this is particularly worse. At least there are still hidden areas to discover.

Nice pickups!

Sorry to hear that you've been unwell, Hope you're Making a good recovery, 1:43 I think you're absolutely right in dropping one of the rpgs, 2 at the same time is rather heavy , Yeah if you're not enjoying a game after 40 hours Probably not going to get much better for you, Glad that you Finished Super Mario Odyssey it's a fantastic game , Thanks for let us know about Donkey Kong, I think this is one I don't need to be playing any time soon If it's not any improvement on tropical freeze, Fantastic video I hope you are having a wonderful weekend

Finally miami law mentioned haha game is such a gem that went under the radar. Dont forget theres a whole other library of games that has been fan translated and some of those titles from the pal region. Ds will forever be the magnum opus of hand helds for me with everything it can do

Indeed, the DS is an RPG powerhouse. Turn based games are really the only games I like for the DS form factor. I’ve only got a few games but I have Front Mission, Pokémon Conquest, and Chrono Trigger. In case you didn’t know, the Japanese version of Chrono Trigger is one of only about four Japanese games that actually have English on the cart (that’s the version I bought for $40 and played through for my first time ever). So if you want a physical copy and want to save some money, opt for the Japanese version.

Diddy Kong Racing is my favourite RPG

I love my DS but have to admit it can be hard to go back to with its low res screens. You can’t argue with the quality of the RPGs though.

Got these all on my 3ds xl

I would say that the GBA rpg library is almost on par with the DS. But it was held back by simply not being on the market as the primary console for nearly as long. The fire emblem games, pokemon games, golden sun, mario & luigi, summon night, battle network, SMT games, tactics ogre, final fantasy tactics, Japanese exclusives like mother 3 and MANY more, the MANY final fantasy & other ports provided with a very high peak of an rpg library. It's just not quite as deep, but there are still many great ones that I didn't mention.

You can make the CASE for the nintendo DS having the greatest library of any console. It's no doubt in my top 5 and probably top 3. Especially if we look at it contextually for its time. By that I mean that high-end smartphones didn't exist yet. 3DS had an arguably better or at least equal library, especially given many of the DS ports to 3DS, but the graphics and touch controls felt outdated from day 1 due to smartphones.

Really hope the new rune factory game wont be a switch 2 exclusive

The DS is awesome and I am still catching up!

Oh it absolutely was a RPG powerhouse. New games, ports, some amazing remakes. There's a Wizard of OZ game, an RPG, that I've always wanted to find because it looks fun and I hear incredible things about it.

Yeah the more I look into gba and the DS I’m surprised how many RPGs actually came out for the systems. Some hidden gems in there for sure.

I have Infinite Space floating around here somewhere. Just waiting for the right time. Ah yes! Can't forget about Advance Wars (both games)!

Ah yes, Diddy Kong Racing DS, my favorite DS RPG. Jkjk! I loved playing rpgs on my DS. Dragon Quest IV, V, Chrono Trigger, Pokemon Diamond / Pearl / Platinum and more I'm sure I'm not thinking of. In general, handhelds whether DS, 3DS or Switch are perfectly suited for RPGs. I never had a backlit GBA so any RPG before the DS era was a no-go for me.

i liked the DS but i will admit i have not played much RPG's on it but the few i have played i did like what i played was radiant historia, luminous arc and SMT strange journey.

4 almost 5, in a month is excellent! I'm hoping to get 3 myself.

Now your speaking my language Mr Tea - love rpgs I d say u can call almost all these rpgs - DS =awesome

I think it’s hard to be too hyped until we see the direct actually going over what the system will be able to do.

Love the ps3 👍👍👍☘️☘️☘️

Samurai jack looks good 👍

I want that Batman trilogy but will wait for switch two to play it to see if it’s improved

What do you mean final console? Giving up the PS6 having a disc drive already? 😂😂 I don’t care a whole lot about the Switch 2 for now. Until I know it is an OLED like the regular switch, or else I’ll wait. Plenty of backlog to go through. Unless they make a brand new amazing Xenoblade game, or Fire Emblem, or something like that and it’s exclusive for the switch 2. Then I’ll have to get one and hand it down to one of the kids when the OLED or Pro version comes out 😂😂😂😂

They did only what they needed to do to shut the leakers up. I’m looking forward to the software info myself. I’m thinking the new Switch will upgrade the older games somehow and offer mouse support like you said. Great video and awesome stack of games brother!

I’m super stoked but I’m not getting incredibly excited until the more official reveal in April when they actually show it and give us a date!

Of course it is, it's the Switch 2, what do you expect?

Wow, you're knocking them out left and right! Nicely done! Loved me some Super Mario Odyssey. Here, I've been playing a whole lot of....work. oh, and sleep. 😅

Tea, your flow in these unscripted videos is excellent. You’re fun to listen to.

The 3DS is the home of Picross 😍

Do you feel like it’s been a worthwhile priority to get PS3 games remade? The console doesn’t feel that old to me, so I can disregard whatever upgrades in graphics. I’m talking Demon’s Souls, the latest Tales, The Last of Us, etc.

I think I get it, but I’m just gonna pretend like I KNOW I get it 👍🏻

“Never again,” he says, as he plots an equally demanding challenge for 2025.

Amazing games

iv seen a friend play Edo Uprising and it looked kinda interesting. its a hack and slash rogue like and has a very neat artstyle

For me all The good RPGs not complete sets just all the RPGs and metroidvanias 😁 great topic

Wow fantasian sounds interest - age rest is good

I didn’t realize temtem ever got a physical on switch. I’ll have to check that out.

I want to hit the 100 mark with my Switch games. Currently at 80. My main focus is first party games, however I do like some rare titles but importantly they have to be fun. I won’t be collecting for switch 2. don’t want to have my hands in so many different consoles. As I get older I don’t need a lot of stuff and in fact I’ll probably start getting ride of everything at 60yrs old and enjoy my retirement life away from owning anything.

Nah, we have no collecting goals beyond "what we like." No numerical targets, no developer focus, no full-set hopes; just whatever grabs our eye...which can be good or bad of course.

I definitely have a few games left I need for the Switch, but I am definitely nearing the end of my collection search...I have 100 games and I'm pretty happy!

I don't have a number or specific goal in mind. I just love how the Switch has so many indie games that speaks to my childhood nostalgia with the modern visuals/controls of today. I really think it may be my favorite console of all time now. Now give me a physical release of Cyber Shadow!

well, I have 174 games and I plan on ending it at 175. My last game will be Xenoblade Chronicles X. I have been waiting YEARS for this release! I will potentially increase to 180 games, but I honestly feel I have enough at 175. I have a lifetime of entertainment. I bought the console at launch, and I wasnt really officially collecting for it until around 18 months ago. I started looking at completing mini collections, like getting all the Xenoblade games and getting quality games from genres I havent played much or at all. The number got set around a year ago due to storage, plus I felt like I have a great sample that represents everything released. Im in a very satisfied place now where I can take it easy, forget about the same, the chase, the fomo. I do not have any intentions on getting the Switch 2 because I am satisfied with my Switch. I know the NS2 will be superior, but I didnt buy the NS for technical prowess. I just loved the idea of being able to properley play console games portably. I will be watching and keeping up to date with the NS2 because I think it is fascinating. NW2 apparently is more powerful than the SteamDeck. What will the game file sizes be and will gamers still be able to play games straight off the cartridge or will a instal on the drive be required like the PS4/5?

I’ve bought around 200 games over the last 7 years and my Switch Collection is almost finished - with all the Nintendo first party games and a selection of 3D platformers, JRPGs and RPGs. There are about 25 more games on the list that mostly will be released in the first half of 2025 and then I will be switching over to collecting for the Switch 2! So 225 is the sweet spot for me!

I want to have as many good switch games as I could have, for that I’d also have to get rid of more than half my switch collection cause most of those games probably suck 😂😂😂

I own 99 Switch games - many of the heavy-hitters. I think there’s another fifty I’d be interested in before I’m satisfied. Even then I’m sure there would be other titles I’ve overlooked - it really is an excellent system.

Not so much for the switch. I do grab most of the Nintendo published games. I am more of a PS4 collector. For the switch, I think I have around 700-800 games. PS4 has become my favorite system. Previously it was the PS1
