Underrated DS games

>>260253069
Fuck yeah! I remember loving that game. I vaguely remember getting the bad end or something. Still had a blast with that game.

>>260253069
you fuckers bankrupted Cing with your flash karts. The devs were even talking about making a crossover title with Kyle Hyde and Ashley Robbins (since it's confirmed in-game that they take place in the same world). Dammit :(

>>260253330
...are you serious? I'm fucking mad.

I learned about this obscure, unknown game from X-play back in like 2005 or 2006. Back when X-Play was good.

Damn I almost want to pick this game up again. Emulating it just doesn't feel right.

yes. If you played the sequel to Trace Memory (Another Code R), you can find pictures of the Hotel Dusk characters at a lake. And in Last Window, you find a painting of that same lake that is the setting of Another Code R. This was mentioned in a dev interview and their response was we would love to make a crossover sequel if Last Window garners enough attention. But you fags just pirated the games, and Cing went kaput. Yes I mad. >:(

As much as I love Cing, TM was pretty short which kinda kills it for me. The sequel for Wii was many times better.

On topic, this, although it's only underrated in the sense that most would assume it's shovelware just by looking at it. It's actually fairly high quality, the 3ds one is too.

>>260254004
muh nigga
are there any manga or anime of this game? that would be good

>>260254767
Bitch, I bought the game twice.
I'm still disappointed that I'll never be able to play Another Code R on my Wii.

I should pick up a EU copy of Last Window before it completely disappears, though.

Fire Emblem is shit compared to this. The amount of surprises in the game is amazing

>>260255160
thank you brother.
Also, Another Code R is pretty comfy. It does have so much text that you'll feel like you're reading a mystery novella than playing a videogame. It definitely is a direct sequel to trace memory with all the characters returning and direct references and such.

>GBA original will never have its fan translation finished.
>3DS sequel will never be localized the way Square-Enix is going.

>>260253652
Honestly haven't seen much liking for that game. That said, I'd give it a try if a local store hadn't bought every complete copy available where I live to scalp at $20 each (other stores had previous had t for about $6 complete).

>>260255160
Last Window's already up to 60 used as an import from Europe on Amazon.

>>260255730
I believe if those people didn't have access to flash carts (or didn't know flash carts existed), they would have bought the game somehow. just like with the sequel to 999 - since flash karts weren't as widespread for the 3ds, many people did whatever they could to get the game - even going on ebay and such.

>>260253330
Trace Memory wasn't even worth the download.

>>260255730
I pirated it when I got my flash cart and basically downloaded games at random, then bought it later after enjoying it so much.

If I hadn't pirated it, I probably would have never known about it, let alone bought it.

>>260255754
The game can be kinda slow at times but it's still pretty fun.

I still feel bad to this day I don't own a physical copy of this game.

>>260256903
I keep hearing decent things about that, but the EA logo in the corner makes me leery. Still, it's not as if EA is bad 100% of the time (some of the older games they handled, like, say, Hot Wheels Turbo Racing are pretty damn good), but they do have a bit of a bad reputation these days with their more modern games.

>>260253069
I started 999 the other day for the 1st time
I ended up with the coffin ending and a TBC
I was pissed so I looked up why
Apparently you HAVE to play the game at least twice, skipping all the dialogue, re doing the same puzzles since you have to do coffin in order to get true ending
so I watched the rest on youtube
considering 999 is an interactive book
did I ruin the fun?

>>260257264
Hatsworth came out during that two year span where Activision was the worst thing ever and EA was attempting to not be hated.
So it's actually really good.

>>260256160
You can't ever know, to a lot of people that hadn't played it they'd be going in blind, and they may have opted to keep their money for something else instead
Pirating lets you play at no cost, but this means the customer saw the game's value at 0$ instead of the retail price, there's no guarantee they would've ever bought it if they had no other choice

With the sequel to 999, its people who already know the value the sequel would offer and were willing to spend the money

>>260256332
True, without pirating a lot of people wouldn't have known about it, but having already experienced it for free I doubt many people would go out of their way to pay for it
I've actually bought games I've pirated, but its often because of a feature I can't have with the pirated version, and knowing the game and its quality, it pushes the value to the point were I feel like paying for it. But without any new feature other than support to the developers and moral peace of mind, there's little incentive to buy a game you've pirated.

Those who really dig and like the game will go out and get the real copy, supporting the developers, but those who pirated and dropped it or didn't like it as much, they got their money's worth, 0$. They weren't willing to spend any money on it to begin with, nor after the fact.

>>260257840
Huh. Might have to keep my eye out for it. But I don't recall ever seeing any copies around where I live. Gives me the feeling it's going to be pricy these days (I suppose emulation would be the go-to for it, but no acekard or anything here).

>>260257834
I would like to add
if I loved the story of 999 but hated the mashing A because the dialogue is forever long
is Virtue's Last Reward any better?
more puzzles and less dialogue?

my main complaint with 999 was not being able to go through all the rooms and solve the puzzlesI understand the whole time limit

>>260257834
>did I ruin the fun?
A little bit. The big point is that the game takes different routes depending on your choices, and most of them are "bad" routes. Stuff goes to shit very quickly when you don't do things properly.

You needed to get a different ending first (the Safe ending) before the game would progress past the Coffin ending.

>>260258256
>mashing A because the dialogue is forever long
Once you've seen some dialogue, you can just hold down one of the shoulder buttons and run through it all quickly.

>>260258260

It wasn't that bad, just way too short.
Their idea of "replay value" was beating the main levels over and over again, until you got enough stars to unlock your girlfriend, naked. No, really.

Gonna post some games that are not even that much talked about on /v/.

Charming adventure game, I like the artstyle as well as the phallus shaped mushroom.

>Sokoban DS
Puzzle game for absolutely everyone to play.
Can be played in short bursts or straight through multiple levels.

Motherfucker! This is an arcadey racing game where all you do is crash on cars to rack up points! Also, Bowling mode!

>Monster Racers
THIS IS POKEMON WITH RACING MOTHERFUCKER

>Master of the Monster Lair
You dig up a dungeon ala Dungeon Keeper, and make it appealing for demons to live in the dungeon so that you can kill them and get items for recipes and shit

>Gauntlet
ITS GAUNTLET

>From the Abyss
IMO, this is like Ragnarok Online, offline and for the DS

>Bloxavoid
Another homebrew where you keep going fast while avoiding blocks

There are a lot of mechanics in this game but honestly all you really need to be able to do is know how to use weapons and items and how to move your characters by using regular attacks.

Oh bullshit. This game was fucking garbage. I fucking love Contra, love it. But fuck Contra 4. Jesus Christ.

If you have never played Contra 4 let's break it down. You know how that space between the top and bottom screen? The literal plastic space between the screen that allows you the close the son of a bitch? Well Contra 4 says "Fuck yeah, that's part of the game!" So when you play on a level that progresses upward, the bullets that are moving up or down, are in this "dead space" and you have to follow them, mentally, between screens to make sure you don't get hit by them.

Fuck. Contra 4.

I loved it.

The 360 version you can move the blocks sideways. It's a completely different game.

>>260264540
Basically the protagonist was a sword, and you would play as the people who wielded it throughout history. It was supposed to have a different timeline setup. Instead of being two parallel timelines, there would be a graph iirc.

Also Stocke was going to just be a generic assassin who used the sword briefly.

Sometimes you just see a game sitting on the shelf and you know it's a winner. Lock's Quest is one of those games.

Great story, good music, awesome gameplay mechanics and nice style. Surprisingly long, unique game. And that secret developer's room. Came with a free comic too.

My only complaint about this game is sometimes you get graphical glitches and freezes but otherwise very good game.

After beating it I've decided I'm never touching it again, this game was fucking infuriating. It wouldn't have been so bad if they didn't have a pointless lives system and they didn't make you lose the loot you got when you died, both of which only serve to piss you off if you die, which will happen frequently with it's cheap fall deaths and enemy placement. Plus their speech sounds are terribly annoying, I never thought I'd be able to tolerate it.

>>260270620
hold the attack button and magic performs its ability in amazing mirror, where it was a one time use move that spun a roulette for different effects
You lose the ability afterwards, so careless slip by holding the button just a tad too long and you've lost your magic ability

Best in its series.

>>260275516
Been meaning to play that, but I've heard people saying that the story winds up with a ton of dissonance to the feel of it due to some of the original script being cut and changed (both in Japan and the west) due to being too dark, and as such the game can't seem to decide fully what tone it wants. That true?

Indeed. It may have had a lot of shovelware on it, but it had both really good games from well known series as well as a lot of various gems buried in the library as well.

Mileage might vary a bit with IV, since some people really abhor the accents the DS version uses. V's great, and tones the accents down a bit. VI is good, but not quite as good as the other Dragon Quest games. IX's a bit different since it's something of an MMO as I recall. Rocket Slime's a great spin off as well

Biggest issue is that IV and V DS will cost you out the ass (compared to most DS games) these days. Square-Enix didn't give either a very big print as I recall, and even had the gall to bitch about low sales with V sold out in the west.

>>260255681

Yes I have 3 great games for you, if you haven't played them already, I love each of these almost as much as Azure dreams and have played the heck of of them. Think I'll try a them out again, thanks I would have never remembered them had you not asked.


1. Monster seed on ps1.
2. Eternal eyes on ps1.
3. Time stalkers for Dreamcast.

check out some gameplay of each!

All great grid based monster raising, dungeon diving games.

There is a GB Azure dreams which is pretty good, IMO it's like a down graded AD but its still fun.

I'm going to play this for Shino.

>>260282563
>>260282724
Can I play Rocket Slime if I never played a DQ game before?

>>260286002
Yeah, absolutely. That's what I did. It doesn't really have any connection with any of the DQ games besides using its mascot as a character.

>>260286383
Alright, thanks.

>>260254004
I remember I got this a few years back. I got stuck at one part; I think it's where you have to find the dog. I was never able to find it for some reason, spent days looking for it.
Really need to replay this.

Nigga everyone hypes this game to heaven

>>260266191
I bought it for 10 bucks and gave it back, the controls just suck ass, its a typical stylus gimmick early ds game...didnt like it at all, you can have the same action with some cheap ios tower defense game

>>260276285
got it for 8 euros at gamestop, was must cop for me, its really good

Sorry for hijacking the thread, but does anyone here know if this game's controls would be playable on an Android?

Too bad it took Capcom so long to get their shit together that this game bombed.

>>260272279
The one on 3ds is very bad. I bought new and am disappointed. The games and challenges are very boring. The story and art style is wrong. Excuse my English I am still learning

>>260262368
>>260261987
I'm colorblind and literally cannot distinguish between bullets and the background. Makes me so mad, since I can't play it at all.

>>260272780
The one on 3ds is very good! It is a little bit harder than the last one but is super fun. It is cheap now, you can find it for about 15 usd
>>260275943
This game is very good. It makes me nostalgic for the Twin Peaks tv show. >>260289698
It is all touchscreen, I think it is better on the original hardware.
Sorry for bad English!

>>260260625

The multiplayer component still works via altwfc (requires either an action replay or a flashcart).

>>260272279

The DS sequel has a complete fan translation.

>>260268029
This got like a 3 on game informer. I still don't understand how. They were joking about it being worth less than used tissue paper.

Thanks man

There was a ng+, you unlock an alternative path but it's short.

GO PLAY THAT SHIT RIGHT NOW

Thanks to this thread, I now have an actual backlog of DS games.

>>260293705
Too bad the detective games are shit and toritos is awful.

>>260294002
What the heck is a torito?

>>260290805
Your English is better than some of the anons on the board, just keep practicing.

You might hate video games then.

>>260294096
It's a puyo clone.
>>260294168
It's undeniable that the detective games had awful writing. "The mystery of the mysterious weeping sound... oh it's Sasano crying MYSTERY SOLVED". Toritos is just inferior to puyo and the like so I couldn't enjoy it. I really did think the other games were great though.

>>260275516
Looking at this makes me realize how much i fucking hate the european boxes. Thank god everyone got the same type of box with the 3DS.

I sort of expected it to be disappointing from the previews I had seen of it. It struck me as looking like very generic games without any charm.

>>260294394
Fair enough, but I think when you see the intro of the adventure game, it was clear it was meant to be silly.

Japanese silly humor

>>260294851
I dunno, I guess at this time the Japanese humour just didn't mix well with me. It didn't help that I have no nostalgia for detective games.

>>260266067

It's pretty awesome to play with
I think I used it mostly for Bust-a-move

Why is one nation filled with so many sexually insecure faggots?

>>260295332
This game was so good, tons of secrets and very original.

>>260296256
Tingle was fine until Wind Waker. Fuck that salve driver ultra jew.

>>260281104
the sequel fucking ruined the game

>>260275850
I'm STILL waiting for a new sequel. OSU will never satisfy me because no quirky scenario.

>>260296917
OTO and OTO2 are quirky as hell, if you know moon or read the transcriptions

But yeah, the series needs continuation, hard

Hey! Might as well add this to underarated DS game. Most people never heard it and if you loved EBA you'll LOVE this....if you can stand J-Pop.

I've played OTO too and loved it very much (maybe more than EBA). You don't need to understand moon though (I read the transcriptions translation afterward to understand more)

>>260265035
This game is underrated period. Try starting a thread about 999 or VLR on /v/ and watch how quickly it 404s.

>>260298372
What else is there to discuss? I mean really. Games can't have infinite threads without new content coming out.

>>260261145
Just pirate it.

>>260273923
I remember liking this game a lot. I don't remember anything in particular about it now, just that I replayed it about 3 times for some reason.

i want proper sequal for my boktai 3.. KONAMI... and btw where boktai 3 english will going out!!! still mad until this day

>>260291814
it's a rogue-lite, so it was probably too hard for them.

You can easily tell when the reviewer sucked bad at the game and gave it a low score because babby couldn't git gud

>>260301359
Damn straight nigga. Best DS OST of all time.
