MVP! MVP!

[@AXL398]

Thank you. I love you.

[@JerryTerrifying]

The best type of commenter.

[@Hmbs271]

Funny how I've heard about these games so many times but I realised watching this that I'd never seen them ingame, which actually made me interested in them.

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Glad you found the video helpful!

[@catfishfingers2915]

Same same

[@sirissac234]

It is nicer when the description of the video has the list of the games mentioned from the video, even better, with time stamps. So you can easily reference back once you are done instead of having to scroll through the video to find the games again, or if you just want to copy paste the list into a document for later usage.

@@sengan2475good that means this video is still getting views without his recommendations, so I think it’s fine .

[@zakkybounce]

Yes, this list is very good! Genuinely never heard of any of these. A lot of other hidden gem lists have the exact same titles in them. I used to wonder if they really were that hidden.. I'm gonna check some of these out!

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Glad you found the video helpful! Have fun with the games =)

[@zakkybounce]

@@thatvideogamesshow Thanks! You've filled my hunger for more SRPG and RPGs, so I'm happy. :)

[@Sinistar1983]

Ghost trick detective is another great game that's underrated

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Great game! We covered that on a previous episode. Ghost Trick deserves a lot more attention!

[@kelvinrafael6361]

Are some of the srpg also available to 3ds?

[@Sinistar1983]

@@kelvinrafael6361 I have no idea honestly

[@powereduptraining8098]

“MegaMan ZX” was my favorite DS game and sub series from the MegaMan franchise. Much like “MegaMan Legends”, “MegaMan ZX” and “MegaMan ZX Advent” were the most underrated MegaMan games they’re so good.

[@ali4st3rb91]

Fantastic list, I actually never heard of some of theses titles. Rondo of Swords sounds like a really interesting title even if it's not groundbreaking

[@Dekross]

-Lost Magic. -Mystery dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer.

[@headjump803]

Wow, thanks for telling me about Monster Tale! I've never heard of it and it looks awesome! I view a lot of those kinds of videos and they often contain the same games over and over again ;)

[@Food4Dogs]

Nice video 😀 Rondo of Swords! So glad I tracked down a copy recently.

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it =) Rondo of swords deserves so much more recognition!

[@RodrigoPalmer91]

Great video, but there's need to say that "Aliens Infestation" was developed by Wayforward technologies, not by Gearbox.

[@snaider2828]

Soma Bringer is an excellent hidden gem my friend ... Great list

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Never heard of that one! Thanks for the suggestion Sergio, I'll have to check it out and include it in a future video in the series =)

[@the-engneer]

Love me some Tactic RPGs! Thanks for the video

This made me know about Soul Bubbles. I love it. Thanks.

[@charlessamuelpenn9374]

I hear your front mission music!! Just got the DS remake of SNES/or PS1's 1st. Haha! Have beaten it many times over the years. Excited to try DS version.

[@coreymcd22]

Zombie BBQ! A friend got me this game as a gift when it came out and I'm glad they did, because it's so much fun and hard to find now.

[@azure8696]

Never knew about Alien Infestation and the Front Mission game either, I need to check them out.

[@reagandow850]

I’m so glad you’re making these videos again. Keep them coming PLEASE. I love my handhelds, all of them!! Edit: Happy Thanksgiving Man.

[@acatwhopurrs5031]

Thanks for this list. I've been looking for an RPG that is similar to Riviera: The Promised Land. I didn't know there was a similar game (Knights of the Knightmare) by the same developer (Sting) for the DS.

[@thatvideogamesshow]

My pleasure. I'm glad you found the video helpful =)

[@godchi1dvonsteuben770]

Agreed. Add lists with stamps. Also, expand to top 15 so you can keep your strategy pics and add more action games. Note, not one race game?

[@borndorian92]

Interesting , perfect video for a thanksgiving morning

Thanks wolf!

[@cooolpotato]

Soul bubbles is basically a bubble ghost remake. Looks good, I love me some bubble ghost.

[@catriamflockentanz]

8:34 That may mainly be due to the light blue hearts, but Monster Tale's visual style reminds me a lot of Bomb Chicken. I think the game would have greatly benefited from any other title. I mean "Monster Tale", really? That's like calling a Volcano "Fire Mountain".

[@RealJokerx7]

In Japanese volcano is literally fire mountain. lol

[@BILLTHORPE]

LOVELY STUFF! The bundle game looks nice!! I like the art style of Alien infestation....but whats with the Aliphant?

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Thought you would like the Alien choice! =) Haha no idea mate but it was incredibly hard to beat. You'd love Soul Bubbles man such a relaxing experience. Thanks for watching man

[@goifur]

Thanks for introducing to monster tale, loved the game

[@sfvcef4171]

Ninja town is another hidden gem... its a great tower defense game.

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll have to check this one out =)

[@jymfiskburk2256]

that alien game looks awesome gotta check it out

It’s really good!

[@NYCJoeBlack]

HAPPY THANKSGIVING and thank you for posting videos like this! I always look forward to videos that list the top ten or top twenty games for a console or handheld. Please do one for the Nintendo 3DS, Game Boy Advance, Game Boy Color, NEO GEO POCKET, NGage, GameCube Nintendo, Wii, PS3, Super Nintendo, Turbografx 16, Sega Saturn, and Atari Lynx.

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Glad you enjoyed the video Joe and happy thanksgiving to you as well =) We've covered a lot of those consoles on the show already so have a look around on the channel =) Also many more coming in the future. Thanks for watching!

[@NYCJoeBlack]

That Video Games Show - I kinda knew you did, but with so many KZbinrs I follow, it is hard to remember who covered what. If I remember correctly, you have done one for the Nintendo 3DS. Here’s another idea, maybe do a video on games that probably should not have been possible, but became a reality due to developer dedication. Some examples are; Shantae for the Game Boy Color, Resident Evil 2 and Conker’s Bad Fur Day on the Nintendo 64, and The Witcher 3 and Doom for the Nintendo Switch.

[@NYCJoeBlack]

I have to see if you ever done video topics I suggested.

[@GrandeGio95]

Steal Princess looks so good, thank you !

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Glad you found the video helpful!

[@ShoXwavee]

So many good turn based strategy games

[@thatvideogamesshow]

The DS is full to the brim with them!

[@karolis.burzinskas]

Front Mission is timeless classic. I beated it some time ago and had a blast. Sure rng sometimes is painful but othet than that game is perfect, and the story is crazy good.

[@TeslaChad]

The DS version of Crash of the Titans. Trust me.

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Thanks for the tip! I'll have to check this out =)

[@frankusyoung4198]

Yeah, the graphics look awesome for the DS

[@bboydrew71]

Love these vids bro keep up the good work

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Thanks Andrew really appreciate that. Glad you enjoy them =)

[@broken1394]

Little Red Riding hoods Zombie BBQ - top tip for that, if you don't have £100+ to throw at it - it's on the Nintendo store under DSi games and can be bought cheap. A lot of Atlus titles - well trodden path at this point in hidden gem videos. 2,000+ games - i think we can still find and name a lot of great game's that haven't had the love they deserve and can be bought cheap - there issrill gold down there amongst all that shovel ware!

[@abhishek79]

knights in the knightmare's graphics remind me of yggdra union on gba. oh how i wish other games like that were made.

When your intro music is from a 3ds song but you're making a vid about normal ds games

I actually have drum tactics toys, they're the same beetles, but whith wheels and you pull them back and then let them go fight each other.

Drone Tactics footage with Front Mission music haha

[@colleenglanville8293]

It's hard to believe number 10 is a Nintendo DS game, also it's very rare that a game based off a movie to be spot on, because usually video games just screw it up! 🤔

[@thatvideogamesshow]

It’s an incredible experience. A true hidden gem in every sense of the word!

[@colleenglanville8293]

That Video Games Show I bet it is...I might just check it out if I can find it! 😄😁👍

[@tomapple64]

I want to pick up some of these but they aren’t exactly easy to find often unless at least for some of them, you have to pay a bit more to get them since people are realizing they are good driving up the price. So I’ll pick them up eventually 😂

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Could not agree more, unfortunately some of them are pretty pricey but are sure worth it! Thanks for watching.

[@eletgres519]

Pirate em. They free and easy to get

[@tomapple64]

Fort Hater I only do that if I want to try a game out before I buy it to see if the high price is worth it, these games in this video are good.... so if I can, I would buy them

I never thought that a Final Fantasy game would end up on this list since it is a extremely loved video game franchise, but I guess every franchise has that one game that people never heard of, or they thought it was going to be crappy! 🤔🤷‍♀️

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Such an underrated entry in the franchise. Well worth a look if you enjoy the series 🙂

[@colleenglanville8293]

That Video Games Show I actually still need to play a whole lot of Final Fantasy games I've only played some of Final Fantasy 10, I've played and got sick of Final Fantasy 13, and I've played Final Fantasy 14, but of course I haven't finished it yet, but I guess that's alright! 🤷‍♀️

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Haha yeah 13 is a bad time! 10 is my fave, such a good story.

[@colleenglanville8293]

That Video Games Show I agree with you there, such a good story...Number 10 was great! 😄😁👍

[@miguelbrandt3174]

why nobody ever talks about lostmagic its a very unknown ds game that is so awesome

[@hartantoanggoro]

The real problem of FF RoF is bad AI and the campaign basically pick a character and the rest is a dead weight and you are responsible for their life. Although the campaign story is really good and the characters are memorable, you gotta need to bear with the AI. But in FF EoT, if you bring your friends to play Co-op, the entire campaign can be enjoyable.

[@sasop2217]

Think I’m gonna go buy aliens infestation now

[@segagirladventurespico]

Zombie bbq i would love it , apparently it use to be $19 bucks in Canada i saw a posting on ebay BUT that seller now is selling it for $400 (the 19dollar game lol omfg)plus shipping lol

[@mr.vidjagamez9896]

I got my copy, along with many games in this guys DS video series, when they were in the discount racks. Zombie BBQ and Avalon Code were 10$ in Walmart, Monster Tale was 5$ at 5below and Goodwill stores got stacks of unsold, still-sealed surplus copies of Aliens Infestation that they sold for 5-10$.

[@samus88]

My biggest problem with DS games (and 3ds games as well) is the 3d graphics. I just can't stand those kind of graphics. I prefer 2d graphics all the way. See Drone Tactics. I love the Advance Wars type of gameplay, and graphics on the bottom screen. But the 3d battle graphics look hideous to me. COuld have been a perfect game.

[@spaceghostcqc2137]

Lots of 2d games on both, but honestly the 3d games look good on 3ds. 3d on DS is rough but gameplay and sound can make up for it imo.

[@ultimate_pleb]

can it run DOOM tho
