Shinobi
BS, gunvolt should have been way higher
No offense, but Azure Striker Gunvolt is clearly the better game than Mutant Mudds and Mighty Switch Force, in terms of graphics, style, gameplay AND story. And yes, I played all three extensively. It may look a bit too anime for some people and plays slightly unconventional, but once you got the feel for it it's a never ending blast.
Talking about platformers, one that's really missing here is Gunman Clive or its sequel. While being way shorter and more linear, it really got the slower pace of early action platformers without actually feeling slightly outdated like Mutant Mudds. Also, the artstyle is great.
Apart from that: Where the heck is the Denpa Men series? They are not perfect, but sweet little RPGs containing lots of elements from Pokemon and a little bit of classic Final Fantasy and Animal Crossing. Or Hydroventure: Spin Cycle. Or Pyramids. All of them are better than for example Harmoknight and I don't care about the fact the latter was made by Gamefreak.
No Legend of Dark Witch. It's so much fun and has 2 sequels and a spin off. All of Witch are fun
What about Project X Zone?
I was thinking of Shin Megami Tensei IV and its successor throughout the entire video and I was not disappointed haha. Great game, I really loved both of them. Can't wait for Strange Journey Redux.
I am not ashamed to admit that I have at least played around half the games mentioned. What I have purchased, however is a different story.
Where’s Pocket Card Jokey and Steamworld Heist? Those two are very underrated imo that are worth playing
If you like Classic Mega Man games and cute, charming, anime-esque games than you should check out The Legend of Dark Witch trilogy. They're a lot of fun and super cheap.
You forgot Persona Q!
Music?
Underrated because they’re trash
Does anyone even care about the ps portable?
Attack on Titan, anyone? Yo-Kai Watch? Huh…
Um… where’s Kid Icarus Uprising? And why is Fantasy life not number 1?
Freaking love Fantasy Life! It's tied for my favorite with Animal Crossing and A Link Between Worlds, and I've put well over 100hrs into it
Where's 7th dragon iii at?
One of the best games I have EVER played on a handheld is Style Savvy: Styling Star. I love makeover and fashion games but this one is AMAZING. Literally the perfect fashion game. There have been sooo many on all sorts of systems that were basically shovelware garbage. In SSSS you run your own boutique but can also do hair, makeup, and men's fashion. But the STORY is so well written and fun! There are a bunch of story lines that you influence and tons of things and achievements to collect and unlock. ON TOP OF THAT, there are a bunch of ORIGINAL songs. I legit listen to the OST all the time because the songs are amazing and uplifting. I am genuinely obsessed with this game and highly encourage anyone who likes girly games to try it. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea but I'm so sick of all of the RPGs and platformers flooding the market!
A link between worlds?
I mean, Hal Laboratory never forgot about Box Boy.
WHERE ARE THE GUNMAN CLIVE GAMES?!?!
Stella Glow getting shafted again.
What about Shantae & The Pirate's Curse, Shovel Knight and Mighty Gunvolt?
i dont really thing smt has any place on this list… literally any person interested in it has it.
Shin Megami Tensei IV and IV Apocalypse are gems and the deserve more love. Can't wait for V to come out on Switch.
Fantasy Life is amazing. I don’t understand why it is underrated.
No Project X Zone?
Rune Factory 4
Fantasy Life is one of my favorite games ever!
Stella Glow is not on this list!?
Fantasy Life was a fun game, and I played it alone, I can only imagine how much more fun it would have been if I took advantage of the multiplayer. Oh yeah, I also played heroes of ruin, alone, again (I either need to stop playing games meant for multiplayer or I need to find some friends, yeah the first one is probably easier)
So how did Dillon's Rollin Western not make the list, the Not 3D Sonic game where you spindash across the wild west fighting rock monsters invading villages for their livestock with your Not Tails at recon.
Metal Gear Solid 3D. No one ever talks about this version! And it's basically the Subsitance version with 3rd person view but with Yoshi Easter eggs and custom camo colors you can use with the 3DS camera, and the button layout is extremely user friendly. And it's cheap for $20 physical or digital, if you purchase it digital you might need an 8GB SD card cause it takes about 24,000 blocks to download it.
Enforcement everybody makeup on forehead competition lecture protect grave notion.
Code Name S.T.E.A.M. needs to be on the switch!
Fantasy life is so good! The music is probably my favourite part 🙂
I hated Codename STEAM, I wanted to love it. I found it had a love of frustrating design choices that really ruined the experience for me
Stella Glow…?
Even in this video 3ds game ever oasis is underrated and never take what it deserve
SMTIV is good for people with strong moral compasses. Messed me up by the first playthrough
The game you have as the thumbnail isn't even the 3DS edition… Good job WatchMojo…
Listen for #1 it isn't hard to topple Pokemon in most aspects it just has a really huge really dum Fanbase, GF is only game company that can get away with releasing two identical games and sell them for full price, If Rockstar or square Enix did that they'd have a shitstorm, but Pokemon fans are retarded
My friend code : 5258 – 4928 – 7723
My online games :
Mario kart 7
Kirby battle royal
LoZ triforce heros
Pokemon OmegaRuby
And more…
Add me pls 🙂
