Considering the 3DS is the only console I own, and I'm still playing it today... no 3DS game is "forgotten" to me. I'm still plowing thru the catalogue!
Same here
Is a great console and I hope people behind 2d retro emulators eventually port full running emulators on it, specially on the one released in 2011, the one I own.
Plough nicely. And be gentle lol
I remember having a hard time adjusting to flat 2d visuals after having played the 3ds from launch to well after getting a Switch. I always thought that '3d adds little to gameplay' argument so stupid. Neither does HD, it just makes it much nicer too look at, and more immersive, arguably adding a lot to gameplay actually.
I’ve been having a blast with Gundam 3d battle. A real throwback to the classic ps2 Gundam vs Zeon games.
You should do another one of these videos! This is exactly the kind of content we need as the 3DS reaches its official end of life. Lots of people looking to shore up their collections now.
I think my pick for the best hidden gem on 3DS is Heroes of Ruin. This is a Square Enix Diablo-like isometric RPG lootfest. It's so fun, and nobody ever talks about it.
Hr is only 3ds online game to use microphone.
I am still shocked that it is one of a few games that actually used the N3DS mic. I had so much fun playing with a random online for about an hour.
@@NYCJoeBlack I tried the game and the droprate of items for your character were completely abysmal for my character. Found good items for every ckass except the one I was playing as.
Is there anything that I can do to make this more bearable? Its the only reason I stopped playing, honestly
3ds with nds backward compatibility is the ultimate portable gaming console for me. I can enjoy awesome games for the last of my life.
I’ll second that!
Don't forget the DSi
Esp if it's modded. Add GBA, SNES, NES, a bunch of other old obscure consoles, and a small handful of N64 and PS1 games.
I so badly wish Gurumin had gotten a physical release on the 3DS! Such a fun game!
There is a Psp version i think 🤔
I don't think anyone said hi yet, take your chance and escape dave!
@@orwwan Correct, only physical release was on PSP.
Though I prefer the 3DS version, but I own it on PSP, and PC as well.
yo DGR you have 3ds lol
Stella Glow was a blind buy for me, saw a box of it at Gamestop when it can out and I thought it look like my kind of game, so I went for it and boy do I NOT regret it! I love this game so much!
It’s such a great rpg!
I actually bought that game very recently from the 3DS eshop when Atlus games were marked down.
This is still my fav game on the 3DS :D went back and played Luminous Arc 1 and 2 after I finished Stella Glow and had a lot of fun!
Shinobi was 🔥. Griptonite Games did an AWESOME job with it. Griptonite also did a fantastic job with the DS versions of Spider-Man Web Of Shadows and Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions. Those are SUPER overlooked/underplayed 2.5D Metroidvania's.
They did wolverine origins on ds too! Look out for it!
@@gjergjaurelius9798 haha I have it. They also did the DS version of Captain America Super Soldier. I didn't mention them as overall they were just OK. Griptonite also did the Daredevil game on the GBA.
Shinobi was so good!
if you guys liked soul hackers then i suggest strange journey redux, the 3ds remake of strange journey that was on the ds. same first person dungeon crawling goodness, darker tone, setting and a great story. this is also part of the main line smt games.
Thanks for the tip I’ll have to check that one out!
I can confirm this game is great. The original is beloved by classic SMT fans and REDUX has added story and a bunch of QOL improvements… if you choose to use them.
God, I friggin loved the setting.
Never got the redux but have the original US release (in the card outer box).
The Etrian Odyssey series is easily one of my favorite series on the DS/3DS. Also really like Stella Glow so far, even though I have yet to finish it. It's kind of similar to Lord of Magna: Maiden Heaven, which is another I've enjoyed so far.
Played almost all EO games, for hundreds of hours total, and also the Persona Q crossovers. But not the last one... As my 3ds is getting an actual 3d layer of dust on it, and the price of Nexus remains high...
@@samuelc6246 It's really unfortunate just how expensive the games are getting. Especially the ones for DS. They're some of the last few DS games that I want physical copies of, but they're just too expensive.
@@samuelc6246 Nexus basically takes the most iconic dungeons of each games and rewrite the maps, but there are five original maps with new navigation gimmick. 18 classes return and 1 new class + 1 hidden pseudo-class, but their skills get nerfed quite a lot to avoid overpowering. The game is actually long enough for you to try every class, and it's better if you buy the DLC for money and experience since grinding every class is time-consuming despite the experience-sharing accessory.
Would like some more 3DS videos. How about different things on the 3DS Virtual eShop?
That’s a good idea for a video, I’ll add it to the list!
Dumb question. Is the eShop still active? I don’t have a 3DS and don’t want to pay inflated prices if I get one
@@JoshuaJacobs83 eshop is still up. i think they turned off credit card functionality on the handheld itself as of jan 22. but you can add funds via a web browser.
@@srduncanbyu Sweet! Thank you so much
Found you when looking for GBA games after my pre-order of the Analogue Pocket, but I'm loving the content as someone with an interest in finding the underappreciated games of yesteryear myself. Keep up the great work!
stella glow is one of my favourite games on the 3ds ever
Project X Zone 1 and 2 deserves a mention at least on part 2 or 3 of your video. Maybe they aren't quite extremely unknown 3DS games but those are games few people know about. Great game btw. I liked it those are some of the games I miss the most on 3DS aside from Dragon Quest VIII, Zelda Metroid and some other games
For sure they are great games! Will include one for part 2 🙂
@@thatvideogamesshow thanks
I was JUST about to comment that
@@furiousxXxpyro I wouldn't say they are super unknown, super hidden or super underrated but yeah I'd say they're hidden gems and deserve more recognition
@@furiousxXxpyro been wanting to play these 2 games. Sadly my 3DS got stolen back in 2019 and I wanted buy another but the price of a 3DS has actually gone up!! They're expensive on ebay. I dont really want a 2DS though. I wanted the NEW Nintendo 3DS XL. Though I do miss some of the 3DS games, I dont regret buying a Switch either. 3DS was awesome though. Amazing library the 3DS has.
I love your forgotten 3ds games list you have made, i actually own 2 games on your list this time Stella Glow and Shinobi, I have been playing Shinobi ever since it came out on the Sega Genesis system and never got tired of it, Stella Glow looked like a good story adventure with tactics like fire emblem and I have enjoyed I ever since it came out, you have made a great list of forgotten 3Ds games that I have 2 of, I'm glad they both made your list and all the other games are great as well, you did a real good job TVGS nice going ✌️
So glad a bigger youtuber acknowledges shinobi 3ds i loved that game and think it deserves a new game or remake
Even if it is on a forgotten game’s video
Such a good game!
Thanks for showing the 3ds some love still bring mine with me everyday.
Such a good handheld!
You do a great job of providing a detailed, but to the point synopsis of each game. You gave me a couple to add to the list! Thanks 😁👍
Thanks Mega! Glad you find the videos helpful 🙂
3DS was the king of underrated games. So many fun games. I really hope some of these series get revivals or at least ports to switch someday.
Would love to see them come to the switch!
Can't thank you enough, bro! Your channel has introduced me to so many hidden gems. 😁👍
My pleasure Artbwoy! Glad the videos have helped out man 🙂
*A wild Metal Jesus enters the chat*
You said Hidden Gem?
Same.
Bro I love your channel for real. Some episodes are hit-or-miss (the shockingly terrible series) but for the most part your channel is awesome.
Glad I found it a few months back!
Thanks Fly!
oh perfect timing! i was just looking at some 3ds videos from months and even years back and was surprised to see this uploaded just about less than an hour ago!
Haha glad you find the videos helpful 🙂
Amazing episode👏👏👏 full of hidden gems that I haven't heard of, thanks for your incredible work!!!
Thanks for watching Adrian!
GReat vid to be honest, quite a few ACTUAL hidden gems. Love it.
A couple I had never heard of, several I had played, and a few I have but had forgotten about! Thanks for reminding me😁
Glad you found something new!
Shinobi has definitely started to go up in value here, used to be around £5 and is now £15. So people are certainly discovering it.
Thanks for the suggestions! Always nice to discover new games!
Glad you found something new!
Your videos are amazing!!!
Love this channel!
Thanks Shanky!
I have a game called Heroes of Ruin on the 3DS. It was a pretty fun dungeon crawler, but it wasn't amazing. The online was also solid, but I'd bet that there's no one playing it now. Codename STEAM is also a forgotten title for the system.
Funnily enough that was included in the first draft of this video! It’s a solid game 🙂 will have to include it for part 2!
Codename STEAM was surprisingly a lot of fun. I had heard it was terrible but I loved it.
@@andrewdowell6474 I only played the demo, but I liked the fact that it had literary characters as party members.
Fantastic as always mate
Thanks mate I appreciate that 🙂
The denpa men series is one I've incredibly enjoyed and yet it seems to have a nonexistant fanbase. Could you talk about it.
Maybe also radiant historia, one of the best jrpg's of all time
Ooh, yes! I love this kind of videos. Please make a part 2!
Glad you enjoyed it! Part 2 is in the works! 🙂
The 3DS days... I can't help but remember reading through the GameInformer magazines and see the blue 3DS.
the sadame game got my attention because of the boss fight so i'm looking forward on playing it thanks for the video!
Sweet list man that attack on the Friday monsters looks really interesting 😁😁
Cheers Gaz! Yeeees trust me give it a go, it’s great!
So happy to see Kokuga getting some love, this was actually the first thing that came to mind when I saw the video title! Lol
Pretty relieved that I already knew about most of these 😅 My wallet is grateful
😅
Very nice list! Did not know Gurumin got a remake for the 3DS. Sad it never saw a physical but still very nice.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video 🙂
I actually own Shinobi. It's a fun game, if a bit difficult at times
I’ll second that the difficulty can be rough!
Puzzles and dragons I feel doesn't get enough love
Will have to include it for part 2!
Fantastic video! I missed so many of these....
Glad you enjoyed it!
Finally! A list that doesn't include the same ten Nintendo first party games. I actually found some new titles thanks to this. Thank you!
I got 600hrs of gameplay with Etrian Odyssey 4 and 5, I'll soon reach 600hrs on 2 Untold soon but I find that game way too unfair compare to the two games I mentioned.
“Ever Oasis” should be considered one of the many forgotten 3DS games along with “Kid Icarus: Uprising” that’s just bias talking in particular for kid Icarus, especially for 1st party wise since these two titles didn’t really “wow” anybody with the overall lifetime sales.
Though I wouldn’t be surprised if ever oasis would at some point get ported to the switch one of these days. I mean if Miitopia can get a remastered release on switch, I don’t see why ever oasis couldn’t either.
“Liberation Maiden” is one of those forgotten gems on the 3DS. To think Suda51 had any involvement in that game is quite interesting to say the least.
I Wish Suda would consider making an actual sequel to the game. Heck, I’d love to see it release for the switch in HD.
And while Sure, liberation maiden did get a sequel to an extent but the gameplay was completely different and not handled by Suda himself plus the game never got localized and is stuck on the PSVITA, damn…
7th dragon iii is also another one I’d add to the list of forgotten games on the 3DS, coming out pretty late into the 3DS life. I still have hope that Sega would announce a new game for the series or just a remaster of iii would be just fine as well.
Anyways most of the games listed in this video I agree are pretty forgotten.
Stella glow is hands down my favorite Strategy RPG, personally it outshines FE:Awakening, FE: Echos, & FE:Fates imo as one of the most memorable and enjoyable yet challenging game in this genre of RPG’s.
I think Kid Icarus might be more underrated maybe rather than forgotten. Ever Oasis, I'm not even sure if it was ever remembered
Great video, some gems in here I had no idea about! Will be checking out your other vids thanks👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it Rab!
Really solid list. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
6:00 That Atelier music sounds great 😁
Not sure if you included it on your other videos but Resident Evil Relevations is the most impressive game (graphically) that I've played on the Nintendo 3DS. Also had some good fun with it. Those are the best graphics I've seen. Not sure if you done a best graphics on 3DS video but I would think that would be in the top 5 or top 3...maybe even 1. I'd be surprised to see a game with more impressive graphics than that. Fun game too btw. The 3D effect made me like it more too.
Loved the 3DS version of revelations! As you said the visuals were so impressive at the time.
@@thatvideogamesshow yes especially considering it was an early 3DS game. For the Vita I'd say the best looking ganes were Uncharted Golden Abyss and Killzone Mercenary
Keep it up TVGS
Thanks Popo!
I got Attack of the Friday Monsters on sale and it was well worth it. It's such a goofy little story.
Stella Glow has amazing voice acting in it. I usually play most games with the volume either low or off. However, for Stella Glow I had it all the way up for cutscenes.
Both such solid games!
As a proud owner of the 3DS with over 50 games in my library (both physical and digital), I appreciate you making this video. Thank you. I think the console itself is underrated, due to how much I am finding it being overshadowed by the Switch.
You truly find games I've never heard of but now desperately want to try.
Glad you found something new man!
Thanks for putting Sadame on my radar before the 3DS eShop closure.
Great list I bought Shinobi last year had a blast!
Thanks man! It’s such a fun game!
Glad I picked up a copy of Shinobi years ago for dirt cheap. Wish we'd get a new next gen entry. Or at least remaster both PS2 games.
I didn't know there was a good Ghost Recon game on 3DS. Definitely want to get it now.
Was there any great FPS games on 3DS? I'm drawing a blank at the moment lol.
Shinobi is so good. Like you said it’s a real shame we didn’t get anything next Gen! I highly recommend that ghost recon game man, especially if you like advance wars!
I bought Ghost Recon Shadow war on 3DS several years ago during a sale and while I still haven't finished it I think if you find a cheap copy definitely give it a try.
Dementium Remastered and Moon Chronicles are two FPS games on the 3DS I enjoyed very much. There's also Metroid Prime Hunters that I still play on my 3DS online.
Shinobi definitely deserves a remaster/remake or hopefully a whole new game
Who remembers that game where a girl gets water late at night and finds something in the beach then later the world starts losing its color and turns white and they have to escape and run and you make your own chracter
Love the list. When I watch other youTubers, I have a feeling that in last 20-30 years, for Nintendo platform(s) there were like 10 games released only :p Almost all lists contain:
- legend of zelda
- pokemon
- mario
- mario & luigi
- fire emblem
- shin megami
- monster hunter
and it's kind of boring :)
Your list has some really nice games (ie. Etrian Odyssey).
nightsky is another great forgotten 3ds game! physics based platforming with easy and harder mode. legendary ambient soundtrack and elegant silhouette style graphics that absolutely pop with the 3d slider turned on.
i've been considering attack of the friday monsters, from what you showed here, looks like a fun space to explore!
One of my favorite games on the system that I don't hear much about would have to be the legend of dark witch series. Its simple but I ended up playing it to death.
I'm surprised to actually see games I didn't know about at all... And that are awesome too!! Subscribed!
Edit: Just the three first were a discovery, but impressive enough to be satisfied with this video.
I'm glad to see some of my favs here :)
Glad you found something new!
Holy crap I forgot all about these! ;) Love the video. Feed the algorithm and make a list of games I probably won’t ever find. :(
Glad you enjoyed the video man!
Etrian Odyssey and Stella Glow? Instant like from me.
I discovered Etrian Odyssey with EO 3 and fell in love with the series. Since then I have managed to get all games except EO 2.
Also found Stella Glow in another video a couple of years ago, then bought a used physical copy and the digital version during an eShop sale.
What I like about Etrian Odyssey the most is that it gives you near complete freedom over your party , and doesn't hold your hands with situations that demand certain class combinations , with few exceptions I can think of which are mostly in the older games on the DS .
Though I have to say that Etrian Odyssey IV isn't the best . I would've recommended untold 2 or Nexus for newcomers
Agreed. Untold 2 has been my favorite, so far.
I thought that I was the only one who knew about Crash City Mayhem lol, that game has such a silly campain and the grapics are so unpolish, and yet it's so fun haha, It's kind of an acquired taste
По сути это продолжение или идейный вдохновитель серии игр Runabout на ps1и ps2
Love your channel. Greetings from Honduras.
Thanks Alberto! Greetings from Wales!
gurumin 3D looks really cool. i might buy it :)
It’s well worth it!
Another great video! How did I not know about Kokuga? Insta-buy for me! (Thankfully still available on eShop and not too pricey). It ticks all the right boxes. Supports 4 player coop local wireless download play, supports 3d, the card mechanic is pretty cool and gives it tons of replayability and makes way for lots of strategy (especially in multiplayer! All is not lost if someone still has a repair card). Just a very very cool game that I didn't know about til your video. Thank you! If it supported c-stick directional shooting it would be even cooler.
Could you post names of the background music in the description? I recognized some of them but I would love to know the others. Thank you 👍
I have Gurumin on the PSP. I wanted it on the 3DS but i didnt realize it was on it until to late.
You really gotta talk about Shin megami tensei 4 n it's sequel Apocalypse.
Also the Dillon's Rolling Western Trillogy with the third game Dead Heat Breakers being the best, removing mandatory touch controls to play and being the easiest of the trillogy, making it beginner friendly also it doesn't require newbies to play the previous two games.
that first one looks realy cool, hope i can find it
I remember Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars, Soul Hackers, and Etrian Odyssey.
At the very least Soul Hackers was lucky to be updated for the 3DS and even more so be localized. The same can't be said for the original Devil Summoner. Even with Atlus considering localizing it years ago in the days of the Saturn.
AWESOMEEEEE video bro such a huge fan 🤟🏿👍🏿🍺
Thanks Keith!
I liked every recommendation in this video but I'm leaving a like mostly because of Shinobi 3DS. Nobody ever acknowledges that game and I love it!
Such a solid game!
It’s coincidental that you posted a Nintendo 3DS video and just several days later, Nintendo announces they will drop support of some features of their online services for both, the Wii U and N3DS. That announcement should prompt you to make more N3DS related videos.
Some topics could be:
1. Physical games to buy ASAP
2: The true power of the N3DS
3. Games that take full advantage of 3D
4. Best racing games
5. Hidden gems; digital & physical
6. Unreleased N3DS games
7. N3DS games not released in the West
8. Best shooters
9. Genres not fully represented
10. Exclusive (non-first party) games
Stella glow is one of the best games I've ever played
good reminder to pick up my 3ds again
It's a real shame that Sadame isn't available on a physical copy, I've only just come across this and the eshop is already closed haha!
Brian Butterfield reviewing Videogames. Quite the surprise to be sure.
Very impressed that I haven’t heard of most of these
Definitely heard of soul hackers tho lmaooo
Also etrian odyssey obviously
Shinobis an underrated gem in general, let alone on 3ds.. awesome game
I’ll second that!
I always hated card games within games, like the one in Final Fantasy IX which it is mandatory to play at least one round of because Zidane is all over that game, and also here in Friday Monsters. The card game is not the meat and potatoes of the game, so I feel it just halts my exploration. Also, the whole "pretending to enchant the other kids" by winning a game of rock paper scissors was just stupid. That aside, a very charming game atmospherically, that like My Neighbour Totoro, really makes me wanna try to live in the rural countryside of Japan.
Anything DS related I’m all about it
•Attack of the Friday Monsters
What a gem, simple yet short. It's almost a shame that not many others of the 4-pack games vol collections made it west. I should reply this again someday soon.
•Stella Glow is a fantastic swan song. I somehow managed to preorder the wrong version, but was able to return it for the correct collectors edition. The soundtrack is such a variety of charm to evil chaos (Eve's song is the creepiest metal theme, and I love it.)
I am sad that the studio had to close down, as their final game was certainly signs that things might have continued to improve in the future.
•Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars
This was my 2nd 3DS game. I really enjoyed playing it back at the time. It hasn't aged the best, but it is still a game I should reply just to finally get to the end. (I think I made some mistake that made the game harder and saved it. Something that made me think I had to restart and made me rage quit near the end. Lol)
Does Sadame have a physical release? I’m very interested in it but can’t find any info other than eshop on it.
the Parascientific Escape trilogy is a pretty obscure series for the 3DS, but I've only played the first game
Some interesting looking titles.
-crash city mayhem
-kokuga
-attack of the friday monsters
-shinobi
-stella glow
-gurumin 3D
-etrian odyssey 4
I was gonna get soul hackers when it was sale early this year, but I didn't know if you didn't have the room on your 3ds you can't even buy it. Maybe because I got my 3ds at launch but even 100% empty I didn't have room.
thank you for this one! im trying to find some hidden gem and i found this video !
No worries Hutman! Glad you enjoyed the video 🙂
The melody in the beginning of the video. I want it please. 😀
To get true ending I believe you have to you have max the main character with all the witches. But it's easier to do on 2nd playthrough of stella glow
The only way for Sakurai to be on smash is for him to do a cross over with SMT soul hackers since he is the leader of the spookies
The 3ds is a masterpiece. I still play it.
I remember a lot of 3ds games and I did forgot something.
Are you the my money don't jiggle jiggle it folds?
Sick video. Gotta admit tho kokuga stands no chance against ikaruga. Ive had much more fun emulating mars Matrix on my n3ds which is a great shmup.
Thanks Mohamed! Oh for sure Ikaruga is way better!
That old dude in the game "attack of the friday monsters" looks a lot like the first Doctor, from Doctor WHO.
Haha I can’t un see it now 😅
sadame needs a switch port
I’ll second that!
Was hoping you'd talk about Code of Princess
Will include it for part 2 :)
