The 3ds maybe? It's a great console! With even more Rpg's!
My picks would probably be: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Echoes of Time (No game has yet managed to reach the emotional landslide that this one was for me. I laughed, I cried and I cheered. This is the one that defined my love for video games.) Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies (This is the game that led to my love of customization and collecting . I loved going out and collecting all the outfits and items and really making my character my own) Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift (If it wasn't for this game, I never would have started playing SRPGs. The story was great and the gameplay was excellent. One of the best) Pokémon HeartGold/SoulSilver (Possibly the pinnacle of the Pokémon series, everything about these games was just right. Some of the other games got some things better, but only HG and SS got everything right) Rune Factory 3 (I love the Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons series, but sometimes the gameplay gets real slow with nothing to do for In-Game days while waiting for crops to grow. In Rune Factory, I was never bored. I was on my 5th playthrough by the time I lost my copy.) Chrono Trigger (This is one of the all time greatest RPGs, if not the greatest. I have never put so much time in a game. I had to have played this game for thousands of hours.) These are the big ones, there's probably more but these are the ones that have stuck with me to this day. They are so good, that I still include them in my Top 20 today.

@@MrTimelord77 You are aware that Echoes of Time allowed you to individually create your teammates, right? You didn't actually have to recruit anybody, just pick race and gender then presto, instant teammate. It was basically a modified form of Ring of Fates' multiplayer mode. I know, because I played both. Chelinka made me cry in Fates and the ending was technically a happy one, but it just left me unsatisfied. Like, all the struggles Yuri had gone through were for naught, because they never happened. It was a bit jarring. Meanwhile in Echoes, the consequences of your journey were clearly shown in the end, both good and bad. And while there was no starting over because the villagers had long since been dead, there was maybe a chance to start anew.

This is definitely an unpopular opinion, but I feel like the RH remake really affected the game's art direction and overall atmosphere in a negative way :( In an attempt to appeal to a broader audience, those things were really watered down imo.

So many good RPGs on the DS! It must be partly due to the concurrent x360 and Ps3 lacking interest in them. I'd love to see HD remasters of: 1. Dragon Quest IX (WITH the Multiplayer intact) 2. Final Fantasy 4 Heroes of Light (WITH the multiplayer intact again) 3. Mario & Luigi Partners in Time (sadly with the recent bankruptcy of AlphaDream this seems difficult...)

I would consider Mega Man Star Force to be an RPG of sorts. I would recommend playing the first game (Either Pegasus, Leo or Dragon), as the story is dark, adult and surprisingly deep for a DS game.
It’s rather unknown but I can really recommend „Magical Starsign“ I don’t know if it’s because it was my first RPG other than Pokémon or Mario and Luigi, but it has a special place in my heart and I think it’s really worth looking at.

Phantasy Star 0 is also a game that I very much enjoyed playing on the DS. It has a pretty good story and even has different playthroughs depending on the race you pick at the beginning of the game. This game is forgotten a lot and while it definitely has its flaws, I loved it.
i first played TWEWY 11 years ago, and it’s still my number one favorite game of all time! the characters and plot really spoke to me and there’s just so much about it that makes it truly a unique and special game also radiant historia is soooo good i played it for the first time last year and i fell in love with it

Still my fave FF, even now!) and TWEWY I played when I was 12. I owe so much to that game and it's characters- really got me through abuse and bullying and forced me to actually see people COULD be good. It made me give life another shot and anytime I need that reminder I boot up my DS(or my switch but the ds is my personal preference!)

Oh, I see Golden Sun Dark Dawn here! Golden Sun game series have always been my all-time favorite JRPG's But surprisingly though, the developers became more "merciful" in the Dark Dawn version. The puzzles were easier, boss monsters were a lot weaker, grinding levels was quicker, and lastly, they added a "Djinn Guide" so you don't always have to look up your next destination in the internet :>
Civ Rev was very addictive on ds. sank hundreds of hours into it and made a score book to beat it with every leader on every difficulty level. It also has scenarios.

I totally agree with Devil Survivor and it's narrative being superb, I even recommend it to non smt fans, especially If you're into strong narrative driven mangas or novels. It starts out feeling like a simple adventure, like the first episodes of Digimon Adventure, were the Protagonist, allthough being afraid and/or homesick sometimes, almost seemed to have fun on this exciting new trip and the mysteries to uncover and the strange creatures, but after the first third Devil Survivor really picks up with a more serious tone, giving you a lot of difficult choices in old SMT fashion.

This list makes me want to dive into the DS library again even more than I already wanted to... I just feel like I don't have enough time to get into video games anymore... It's not that I don't enjoy them anymore, I just don't like being interrupted or being forced to stop playing them indefinitely and be forced to start the game over again because I don't remember what happened in the story when I finally get back to the game again. It frustrates me how I can never finish the games I start playing, so I've ended up just not starting them in the first place. It makes me sad...but it's the only solution I've come up with...so far. I guess it's even more incentive to work harder to be able to eventually get more time in my life to catch up on what I've been missing out on all of these years....

When I got the DS, all I bought were RPGs on sale at Target, like 15 bucks each.

Actually it's more like Skies of Arcadia and Panzer Dragoon Saga, but just sorta bland.

Thing is that the Dungeon series is more of a Dungeon Crawler than just an RPG as the list suggests. Don't get me wrong, though. They also have RPG elements, but I only mean they are more inclined to the Crawler genre.
Soma Bringer (English patch) is a great action RPG, very similar to Xenoblade Chronicles. Now I’m playing this game in Co-Op mode with my wife ))

Suikoden Tierkreis should be on top of the list.
I recommend megaman starfore , megaman ninja x zerker and megaman red joker. I love the story and character development as well as the fighting gameplay. Megaman starforce is part 1 , ninja x zerker is part 2 and red joker is part 3
Awesome I agree
Me, in college, blazed out of my mind, playing SMT:DS - “This game is sick. You make demons kill each other and the whole soundtrack is just guitar solos.”
Avalon Code, Golden Sun Dark Dawn, Shin Megami Tensei 1&2, Rune Factory 2&3 are the best rpg games I played in DS
Volume too low, otherwise awesome picks (tho I would rank them differently). On the other hand, I did like to see Radiant Historia on number 1, since it absolutely deserves that. For me the ranking goes: 1. Radiant Historia 2. Dragon Quest V 3. Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 4. Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey 5. The World Ends with You 6. Dragon Quest IX 7. Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story 8. Pokémon Black 2/White 2 9. Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky 10. Pokémon HeartGold/SoulSilver

Too easy
Radiant Historia is really really good. And the 3ds version has added content on top of it.

What’s puzzling is while I’ve only played the 3ds remake it still comes across as a hidden gem seemingly lost in the Persona mix.. I like it better tho.. I finished it but not completed.. Game is HUGE! It’s gotta be at least a top 10 classical turned based rpg.. Hoping for a rerelease on more modern systems at some point

heroes of light and shadow is MUCH better than shadow dragon, there is a fan-translation for it
In the thumbnail at the top right. Which game is that? Radiant historia?
Final Fantasy 3, Magical Starsign, any Pokemon game.
You definitely can't make a top 10 Nintendo DS RPG games without Pokemon, but surprisingly I have never played Heart Gold and Soul Silver. I've heard so much good things about it, and I might pick it up somewhere! 😄😁👍

Avalon Code is the only one I never played. While not orginal to the system, Chrono Trigger is a fantastic port, and the best version of the game to date. The Etrian Odyssey series started on the DS, and Eterian Odyssey 2 is my number #1 game I feel is missing a spot on this list. I would put SMT Devil Survivor in the SRPG category, and put SMT Stange Journey in its place instead. I loved Golden Suns on the GBA, but felt Dark Dawn was mismanaged and ended poorly. Shout out to the DS SRPG's: Final Fantasy Tactics A2 Pokémon Conquest Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon Disgaea DS Hoshigami: Ruining Blue Earth Remix And of course SMT Devil Survivor, SMT Strange Journey, and Radiant Historia all had 3DS ports.
Anyone here heard of a game called Zubo. It’s an amazing rhythm based, RPG ds game in my opinion and definitely deserves more attention. Totally recommend you check it out
Final Fantasy and Tales Of is great RPG too
Not sure if these are considered RPGs but Rocket Slime, Final Fantasy Fables Chocobo Tales, and Dragon Quest Monsters Joker are great hidden gems on the DS

Some great suggestions there. We mentioned most of those on our DS hidden gems video!
Me: sees m&l bis in the list Also me: *likes the video*
Atlas really needs to port Radiant Historian to the switch. If you liked Chrono Trigger you’ll love it.
Top Ten DS RPGs for me would be: 1. Dragon Quest IX 2. Mario & Luigi Bowser's Inside Story 3. Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver 4. Final Fantasy the 4 Heroes of Light 5. Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time 6. Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded (best leveling system in any KH) 7. Chrono Trigger 8. Dragon Quest IV 9. Dragon Quest V 10. Dragon Quest VI

It's true that Chrono Trigger was first released In Snes, but DS version has Its exclusive content, especially "that track" that didn't make It to the Snes version.
No Disgaea?? Loved the top tho, nice
That’s crazy… Ive owned all of these for years, except Golden Sun…. Which I legit picked up less than an hour ago…. I’ve never seen this video before…. So glad you included TWEWY… if you’d missed that you’d never have gotten my sub lol My list though? TWEWY FFXII revenant wings Pokémon HGSS Chrono Trigger Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow SMTIV/ Apocalypse (either one but Apocalypse is my preference) Final Fantasy Explorers, or Monster Hunter 3 if no 3DS Kingdom Hearts DDD or 358/2 if again, no 3D Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles And lastly, Monster Hunter Stories. Or if no 3D, Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker. I get why no one talks about that game but it’s so cute! And for a bonus, any final fantasy mainline (not 4 heroes of light….) or any numbered Dragon Quest game. Everyone should experience at least one of the games in the mainline series even once.
Imagine if the Japanese-exclusive RPGs were also localized in the west.
What’s the name of that game where you play as a doll and explore the world and have to complete tasks and stuff to progress? There was like a store and everything but everywhere I look I can’t find it bc I don’t know the name
