Good Games Stuck On 3DS

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Which 3DS game would you want re-released?

[@NinBendo1]

Your number 1 spot, Kid Icarus: Uprising. Give that sucker an HD uplift, make the on-rails sections control more like Star Fox, on-foot missions can control like Splatoon, slap it on the Switch (or Switch 2) and I’ll be one happy duck

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Would love to see it on Switch!

[@ophidianmind333]

I would like to see Shin Megami Tensei IV & Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse get a remastered combo release on modern consoles and PC.

[@thatvideogamesshow]

I’d buy that in a heartbeat!

[@Khoobus]

Kid icarus uprising this game was amazing!

[@crispy_asch7110]

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

[@bohdaniatsenko8428]

As much as I love Etrian Odyssey, I think that series should stay on DS/3DS. Holding a stylus to draw the map is an essential feature that makes the game work and it can't be replicated on a single screen. Trying to port it to other systems feels as wrong as a port of a light gun game where you need to aim with an analog stick. It's just not the same, it's not how it was meant to be played. It's just one of those rare and unique games that can't live outside of its original platform.

[@nateparnell7324]

Etrian Odyssey would do well on Switch if the price wasn't so high for them

[@oonaymanooblabla4812]

​@@bohdaniatsenko8428WYM, have u played etrian on switch at all? Ure not forced to draw the map at all unless u want to.

[@bohdaniatsenko8428]

@@oonaymanooblabla4812 no, I have not played it on Switch. But if you don't have to draw the map, you're losing the only unique feature that separates EO from a generic dungeon crawler with a pretty mediocre battle system. Drawing the map yourself is the selling feature for these games.

[@oonaymanooblabla4812]

@@bohdaniatsenko8428 Oh my, u sure are dumb to say that it should stay at n3ds because drawing the map May be bugged. Its not bugged and u even can let it be drawn by switch itself, u literally can decide if u draw it or not.

[@eduardogaxiola3907]

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

[@nr2676]

This is also the best Atlus game.

[@worldsboss]

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

[@Fast_Travel_Gamer]

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!

[@MITHYKA]

I know the background song used for the 1st game but I can’t remember where it’s from?? Also, what’s the song for the outro? 18:45

[@tsunamirider9895]

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.

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Thanks for watching!

[@PikaLink91]

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.

[@therealjaystone2344]

He means you can no longer access to those games anymore now that the prices skyrocketed

[@PikaLink91]

@@therealjaystone2344 That means you can still access them, if you have the cash.

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

[@craiganderson7986]

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!😭

[@ViktorErikFade]

I played a tiny bit of the baseball game I believe, I never got into it and didn't even bother redownloading it and just looked up what the story was like on youtube. Either you think it's a cute little game or you have never played it or just don't care about it. You didn't miss much with rusty real deal baseball

[@ordohereticus3427]

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

[@PinkLloyd88]

It may be pricey but try buy a USA 3ds. It’s worth it to play the games only released in USA.

"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.

[@Alphacranberries]

This video makes mention of using the Circle Pad Pro for Kids Icarus uprising. The second circle pad is NOT supported for aiming. The only thing it does is allow for left handed play.

[@lylxion]

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.

[@MarcosCodas]

Heroes of Ruin! What a hidden gen.

[@GamerbyDesign]

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

[@josephchandrasegaran276]

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.

All SMT games (SMT IV, SMT IV Apocalypse, SMT Strange Journey Redux, SMT Devil Survivor 1&2, SMT Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers 3DS), Radiant Historia Perfect Chronology, Etrian Odyssey 4-5 + Untold + Nexus - basically 90% Atlus games released after 2010 who is not Persona 3-5. DS/3DS era was golden age for Atlus.

[@justsomesimplenuclearbirbs4313]

The unfortunate fact about Rusty's Real Deal Baseball is that it's digital only. Meaning if you wanted to get it nowadays you would need to either hunt down a 3DS with it installed and the games it included purchased or hack your 3DS/2DS to get it. That being said, Animal Crossing: New Leaf & Happy Home Designer as well as Super Smash Bros. For 3DS are still pretty enjoyable even if you own a Switch and have the successors to these games. There's also Puzzles & Dragons Z + Puzzles & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition. All four games can be purchased physically, but Animal Crossing: New Leaf has two different versions. Both versions are the same game, just one includes an update while the other one is the base game without said update.

[@JaredConnell]

I know I'm in the minority, but I actually love the 3D effect on the system. I don't like playing games that don't have 3D on it because I feel like I could just play on another system with much better graphics, but no other system can offer the stereoscopic 3D. I love my 3DS and still play it all the time. It's even better modded, especially now that Nintendo shut down the eShop.

[@Cyko..]

Some well-known KZbinrs also love the 3D effect such as RGT 85 and Metal Jesus Rocks. I think the 3D effect is amazing and it's why I still play it to this day!

[@andika.a.k.]

[@grinbrothers]

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.

[@diegodias1998]

Project X Zone has one of the most beautiful pixel arts I have ever seen in a videogame, just look at how smooth those frames are.

The 3ds is my favourite handheld of all time but goddam the prices over the past 4 years has hit the stratosphere. Some good games I feel that are stuck are: Ever Oasis, Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, Stella Glow, Mario and Luigi (pick a title), and Mario 3d land Mario and Zelda games are somewhat a given with Nintendo consoles though

[@AJ72281]

3DS is a great handheld, but my favorite has to go to the PlayStation Vita. Such an underrated gem of a system that was too ahead of its time.

[@theultimategamer95]

New intro music? Epic. And I was about to go on a rant if Kid Icarus wasn't here lol. Really deserves a remaster with updated controls.

[@Parker--]

I’m just gonna go ahead and go slightly off topic and say that the 3DS was great and wouldn’t it be better if instead of the Switch 2 trying to claim to be a 4K gaming machine that will struggle to handle 1440p30, wouldn’t it be more exciting to have a Switch 3D with a glasses free 720p3D screen that runs closer to 60? A screen and resolution that requires half the processing power to render at 1:1 pixel ratio? Imagine Link’s Awakening in glasses free 3D, or Kirby’s epic yarn or Mario 3D world. Isn’t that better use of a Switch 2’s power, making something magical to fit Nintendo’s art style, than making a wholly unnecessary resolution boost on a 5 inch screen? Who here honestly thinks the 720p screen was the limiting factor with the Switch instead of the power? So why waste that power on a nicer screen when we can put that power to fully realizing the dream of the 3DS?

[@Chronoflation]

The second circle pad in Kid Icarus only switches the game from right handed mode to left handed mode, it doesn't use both sticks and likely wouldn't work with dual sticks since it functions more like a joystick and mouse combo with how it uses the touch screen and is balanced around that quick aim or flick to turn the screen. Too bad it didn't release on Wii U. The bigger pad would've been nice. This all said, it could work with gyro or infrared sensors like the Wii Remote had. Gyro getting desynced would be an issue, but could be done if the controllers have good enough gyro. Like the Wii Motion Plus was pretty good, Wii U gamepad was unexpectedly great, but the joycon could never pull it off well.

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Same here, such a great crossover!

[@41illusion]

Metroid: Samus Returns is my favorite remake. They revamped the absolute hell out of it without changing the general feel of the original. It looks STUNNING in 3D as well. Nowhere else can i play a remake like this except on the 3DS.

[@Jack-nj9pi]

Ayyye loving the new intro and i need a project x zone 3. Wish the game wasnt so underrated or we would have a bunch of them.

[@fivejedis]

I feel like a collection of the Pushmo games would be cool. Also what do we call the series? the Mo Series? Lol Cause theres Pushmo, Crashmo, and Stretchmo, so it gets kinda confusing. Also, they've got to figure out a way to get those Fire Emblem 3DS games on modern platforms cause without the eShop how are you suppose to finish the story without paying a dumb price for that special edition that includes all the content? I'm hoping Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon being brought over to the Switch is Nintendo hinting that more 3DS games will be reworked to be made playable on modern hardware.

[@diiii_mond]

I just recently finished Fire Emblem Shadow of Valentina. Awakening is good but Shadows feels like they perfected the gameplay and added a lot to it. Also had fully voiced characters and a solid story. It’s too bad not enough people don’t talk about it

[@captainnemo18]

Kid Icarus Uprising and FE: Awakening were the games I loved the most on 3DS. Kirby Planet Robobot was awesome as well. Still hoping for a new Kid Icarus game

[@divagaciones1628]

Am I the only one who likes the controls in Kid Icarus uprising? They're responsive and snappy. The only real "problem" is that people aren't used to it, though if you came from the tradition of FPS games on the DS (which all used a similar control scheme) you'll feel right at home.
