DS Games That Never Left Japan

For more DS recommendations, check out my DS playlist with every episode I’ve made on the console - tinyurl.com/NDS--videos

Games still missing in this video: Blood of Bahamuth, Saga 3, Draglade 2, Sigma Harmonics, Soma Bringer, Tales of Hearts, Tales of Tempest, Tales of Innocence, Nanashi no Game, Nanashi no Game: Me

I liked that the footage you're showing isn't just the intro parts of every game. You actually played it and sometimes show the mid-end game which is really nice 👌👌👌

"Saga3 - Light & Dark" is a remake of Final Fantasy Legend III and another great game. It not only has the improvements and polish of "Saga2 Goddess of Destiny" but includes the Spark💡system of the Romancing Sagas. Every weapon has a set of special attacks, the more powerful the attack the more weapon uses it consumes. (Just like Saga2 you can repair them very cheaply). Use the skills often or with more powerful weapons to Spark it and learn it permanently for all weapons of the same type, not just weapons have it equiped. (I understand not including it for an implicit "one game per series rule.")

Ouendan was released outside Japan as Elite Beat Agents. They modified the story and the graphics but the game is pretty much the same.

Warning about Cross Treasures. It's impossible to beat the final boss, because you need higher rank of equipment/materials & higher level dungeon to leveling. To get access all of it you need online multiplayer mode, which impossible to do it now because there is no DS server anymore.

"Game Center CX 2" is a sequel to "Retro Game Challenge". Yet again you the player are taken back to 1980s Japan to complete the various challenges presented to you by comedian and star of the show "kacho" Arino. Just as fun and comedic as the original with more systems explored than just the one 8bit console. (All the original games of Retro Game Challenge can be played at the convenience store.) You might want to pick this up just to play "Guadia Quest II" the sequel to the "Guadia Quest" which was a complete jRPG that is homage to Dragon Quest II but with the full game design polish and quality of life of the current year.

Thanks. Wasn't familiar with many of these. Three more to add to the list. Chibi Robo Clean Sweep, Super Control Mecha MG and Game Center CX 2. All great japan exclusives with fan translations

TVGS and the NTSC-J DS Games another great video keep them coming

Thanks for the suggestions😊❤ It's a Shame that none of these good games made it to the West but there are some games that had unofficial Translation like - Ni no kuni, Soma bringer etc.

Megaman operation shooting star comes to my mind when it comes to Nintendo DS

I will add a couple more, sadly these games doesnt have any english translation: -Element hunter: An action game, a good one,there's also an anime in which both were made for the children to learn the periodic table of elements -TWO of the series "simple ds games": Sadly i cant remeber the names, but one was shooter using the pencil and the other was a an action one controlling a mech. -All the medarot/medabots games that stayed in japan

The first game come to my mind is the second Saga remake that never released outside of japan.

They shall leave Japan when they enter my emulator lol 😆 Awesome content as always mate. Best wishes from Australia 🦘

Saw the thumbnail and I'm like yo, who's hot Link? Lol

SAga 2 was fun til I found out that the robot runs out of ammo Would've loved to see further expansions of Jump Ultimate Stars Never finished Super Robot Wars OG but did enjoy the later Project X Zone games

I am a simple man, I see a DS video, I press like, hell, even mention my favorite game of the DS, Jump Ultimate Stars!

There are an RPG game that came in my mind and never released outside of japan and it's "Rockman.exe Operate Shooting star"! you should take more time to upload this video to recommend more japanese DS games or make part 2 of it.

Blood of Bahamut!

Archaic Sealed Heat looks great will have to check out that fan translation.
