@@joshua7426 Since 2017 they have not released a single game in the west outside of a couple of switch ports of older titles. None of their new games were even hinted at for a release outside of Japan. And because they closed down their North American branch it was looking pretty grim for a while there.

Very cool to see three of our translations in this list. You're welcome btw! (Maple Story, Rocket Slime 3, E.X. Troopers) I helped the Maple Story team get to the finish line. ^_^

THANK YOU SO MUCH

Beyond the Labyrinth looks SO COOL. That combat system sounds like the most interesting thing I've heard since SMT's Press Turn. I can't believe we couldn't get it outside of Japan. Great video!!

What ?! Rocket Slime 3 finally have an English Fan Translation!!! 😱

Watching these are such a treasure of goodness. Hope to see another video from you in the future.

I think the biggest discovery I made with this video is how many of those games actually had English Translations. I knew of games like the Dragon Quest series or Ex Troopers, but I never knew translations were added. Also that mansion game looks like the 3DS version of Tearaway and I am all in for that! Excellent video and welcome back!

Awesome video Naveed! I didn't know about pretty much all of these games, and some of them look very interesting!

Great vid dude! can't tell ya how hyped I was to see rocket slime sequel right out of the gate!

lot of really awesome games here dude! rocket slime is a series i always wanted to check out

This is massive. Love to see new vids!

I am speechless at the sight of Beyond the Labyrinth! I was aware of most of these games, but I have no clue how this one in particular went under my radar for so long, specially since Ive looked into tri-Ace's gameography a couple of times over the years... I guess I just missed the bandwagon back when there was talk about the game coming to the west. Also did not know about Nazo Waku Yakata, so thank you for that and for the video as a whole!

Beyond the Labyrinth was always a game I felt like came from a dream, and that’s why I imagined that we never got it in English. I remember being so excited with this game next to Bravery Default

It will make for a much more pleasant experience.

It really is simple. There are step by step guides that literally anyone can follow. If you know how to download files and unzip them then copy them to an sd card thats basically all you need to know how to do and they will step you through everything you need to do including what files you need to download and from where. I really recommend doing it especially now that Nintendo is shutting the eshop down this month. If they don't want to take your money or preserve their old games then I think we should be allowed to pirate them. Pirates do what nintenwont lol

​@@JaredConnell I did my old 3ds last week, first time. Super easy, barely an inconvenience, even for a dyslexic. It's not like I had to read the lines of code, just match the file names to the guide. Took my time, almost put something in the wrong place but I triple check each step before moving on so I caught it. Just update to a 32g microsd, plus adaptor if needed for old, before you start so you don't need to do it later.

Great video! I haven't played much DQ but Rocket Slime looks right up my alley. I also knew that MapleStory had a game on the original DS but had no idea there was a follow up on 3DS. As a long time fan its cool to see how this sequel was treated as the character art and animations were preserved way better than in the DS original. I tend to give the 3DS a hard time as I'm kind of on an anti-portable arc at the moment, but I gotta give it credit, it was was an awesome console and this video makes me want to pull it out again just for fun. Always love learning about such strange and interesting games in these videos, so I hope this isn't the last!

I've always been of the opinion that the original DS or GBA are Nintendo's best handhelds but every time I look back at the 3DS, I really appreciate how good its library was! Definitely gotta be in the mood to play on a handheld though so I totally get that! And this definitely won't be the last video like this!

Fantastic video and wonderful game choices, I knew none of those awesome games! I'm in an absolute rage that "Nanashi no Game" was never translated, that is in my opinion one of the most unique games ever!

Finally, have time to see a Naveed video! Great to have you back, and it's good to know what we Westerners missed out on.

This was such a cozy video. I've been waiting for what feels like 100 years for Beyond the Labyrinth. However, the Touch Detective games you mentioned really surprised me. I remember seeing reviews of them and thinking they looked so interesting. I never ended up getting them though because Nintendo power gave the games a bad review. :/ No time like the present to try it though. I still have all my favorite Nintendo handhelds.

Happy E.X. Troopers got an English patch! 😊

It dawned on me that the 3DS came out roughly the same time as the Japanese tsunami. You'd think that would leave a heavy impact of the 3DS's launch in Japan, right?

I have a new 3ds XL but I want the regular new 3ds because of its form factor. Does it make sense, or the bigger screen is more worth it?

I have like 3 Japan only 3DS games that I want fan-translated: Danball Senki W Chou Custom (The first game was localized as LBX) and Hero Bank 1 and 2 (It’s a SEGA franchise and probably the most obscure as not even hardcore fans of the company have ever heard of it)

I'll check out the gamecube japanese game vid you did next! GBA and DS video when? :) i vote powerful golf for ds, sadly there's no fan translation, but there is a written guide by A7thSteve that helped me get through a few "success" mode playthroughs. the typical video game golf QTE gameplay is some of the best. allowing for last second adjustments to your hit if you're off on the power. The country themed courses with escalating challenge difficulty are pretty rewarding. not to mention it looks and sounds surprisingly good for the hardware. if the camelot mario golf gameboy games were a dating sim.
