The ten top JRPGs on the Nintendo 3DS

Digitally Downloaded writes: "The Nintendo 3DS has been an absolute powerhouse for the JRPG genre. After a shaky launch, many years ago now, the console rapidly developed into a real home for the genre, with everything from major games from major publishers through to very niche, indie stuff."

3DS is indeed the system for JRPG this gen.

Enate3272d ago

I haven't been really able to get into a lot of them on the 3DS. With the exception of Fire Emblem Fates and probably Monster Hunter Story when that comes out. All the other jrpgs I got plans for are on PS4.

Sorry to say but the 3ds is not really the jrpg system.Check out the ps4 and ps vita JRPG games.

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory3272d ago

Of course there always people like you. PS4 hasnt proven itself yet with quality JRPG. Vita doesnt have more quality JRPG than the 3DS. I own both of those system.

10 Video Game Sequels That Saved Their Franchise

Video game sequels like Assassin's Creed Origins, Doom (2016), and Fire Emblem Awakening were just what these franchises needed to be revitalized.

Lmao what’s Halo Infinite doing on this list?

Who would ever say Halo Infinite saved the Halo franchise

SullysCigar733d ago

Thought the same - very bizarre!

RE7 though... my God, what a shift over RE6! That franchise was definitely going in the wrong direction, so RE7 was a welcome return to form.

ModsDoBetter733d ago

Resi 6 was and still is the worst entry in the series.
7 was a great turnaround, despite people’s concerned about the switch to FP perspective.

DMC5 definitely helped the franchise after the whole DmC debacle. Whilst it was a decent action game, it was a far cry from the series and the characters we knew.

AC Origins is my favourite in the entire AC series. Despite the switch to a more RPG style of gameplay - the setting, soundtrack, length, etc were all amazing. sadly followed up by the ridiculously long and “more of the same” Odsyssey.

I don’t feel it’s fair to say the franchise slipped with Doom 3, Doom 3 was incredibly atmospheric and took the game in a different direction but there’s no denying Doom (2016) was sensational.

Halo 4 & 5 were disappointing but Halo Infinite definitely didn’t save the franchise? What?

TheEnigma313733d ago (Edited 733d ago )

I'm going to have to go with SMB 3. I was around when SMB 2 first came out and people hated it. 3 is still arguably the best mario game created.

HellspawnPR1981733d ago

"Halo Infinite"? Worse Halo ever. Whoever made this list just lost all credibility.

Hofstaderman733d ago

In future lists of a similar nature I have a suspicion Final Fantasy XVI will feature.
