"The idea of being able to capture a monstrosity and use its mythical power to our own ends is one which crops up a lot in gaming. Pokemon aside, nobody understands this concept quite as well as Atlus, whose Shin Megami Tensei series takes symbiotic demon husbandry and turns it into an art form. Coming more than a decade since the last canonical instalment, SMG IV finally gets an EU 3DS release, and is yet another more than worthy handheld treat for role playing fans on the go.
You play the part of silent, enigmatic samurai Flynn, in a plot that entwines an ancient feudal kingdom and a nightmarish, dystopian, demon-ruled cityscape. There are strong themes of good versus evil, of a struggle between celestial beings and their demonic counterparts, with the series’ trusted focus on moral choices and branching pathways intact, and a real quasi-religious flavour underpinning everything that takes place. Depending on the choices Flynn makes over the course of the sprawling plot, you will follow one of three “paths”, representing Law, Chaos, or Neutrality. Each point on this in-game moral compass will result in a different outcome, and different objectives for your cast of characters."
The Nintendo 3DS is rife with high-quality titles, many of which should be ported to the Switch.
I agree some games should be. Like Super Mario 3D Land without the 3D 😆, Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon as well.
my kid played through Mario 3D Land on his 2DS. Was still a great game with or without the 3D. A Link Between Worlds is awesome with the 3D effect, but it would still be an amazing game if it wasn't 3D
It's true I mostly torrent PC games very few I will buy but Switch games I buy just a few though and only ones that are at least a 9 out of 10 rating. 👍😁
Dude, what about The World Ends With You? Some good games are listed but several are missing.

The Japanese studio is acclaimed for their deep, involved and intricate stories and paired with world class gameplay may be notorious for releasing their games in low print numbers, but those who do play them, know that they are special. For today’s Top 10 list, we want to shine a light on the best games to ever sport the Atlus logo on their boxes!"
Because of their own stupid self-imposed rule:
"Only 1 game per main series but spinoffs are ok."
I personally liked P4 better than P5, but P4 at least deserved to be on the list as well.
Yeah, I would certainly replace SMT IV with Nocturne on that list. Team over the original TC is another strange choice.
Development is currently underway for Shin Megami Tensei V on Switch, though it’ll likely be some time until its release. Shin Megami Tensei IV, meanwhile, has been out for a while now – in two versions no less, SMT IV and SMT IV: Apocalypse (subtitled “Final” in Japan).
