Favorite "obscure" DS/3DS games

Postby Eternal Rain » 19 Apr 2012 12:57

I confess I'm "borrowing" the idea for this thread from bobafruit in the Wii/Wii U board, but I hope he won't mind. :P

Just as the title says, what are some of your favorite DS and/or 3DS games that are kinda "obscure" (can even be a downloadable game if you want).

DS:
-Feel the Magic (sure it did well enough for a sequel, but the game is up there with Katamari Damancy in terms of "weird crap that only Japan can come up with," and yet I love it so much but it's not often talked about)

-Glory of Heracles (obscure JRPG that kinda came out of left field, since this was a game NoA localized that hardly anyone was requesting, but it's a pretty good RPG with a battle system that reminds me of older Final Fantasy games, a pretty good amount of humor added into the mix [including a lot of lampshading about how this one bishonen boy character looks like a girl], and great music)

As for the 3DS, I don't own any particularly "obscure" titles right now, but I suppose special mention should go towards Dead or Alive: Deminsions since the sales of the game weren't what Team Ninja was hoping for (probably was bad timing, it was released months prior to the price drop and before the 3DS began to see it's surge of quality software releases). It's a really awesome fighter, and easily beats out Super Street Fighter IV 3D as my favorite handheld fighter so far.

Mine would have to be Hotel Dusk, 999, and the oh so lovely Ghost Trick (I give that game an 11/10 :D ). Guess I have a soft spot for those novelesque adventure puzzle games.

Ghost Trick is definitely up there on obscure DS games, also 999. For 3DS, the only game that I like that I think could be considered obscure would be Devil Survivor Overclocked, or maybe Steel Diver.

You guys already said some of my favorites.
I also like Jake Hunter Detective Story: Memories of the Past, Retro Game Challenge, and Densha de Go.
