Purchasing a 3DS...but want to hit up some DS RPGs...Suggestions?

[pmm317]

Hello everyone,

Long story Short, I will be purchasing a 3DS at launch. I will probably pick up a game or two for it (not sure which yet...a little dissapointed in the launch titles other then Dead or Alive right now) but I have a newfound motivation to play some old school turn based rpgs! I recently have been playing Dragon Quest VIII on PS2 and am loving it but that's a story for another day.

Any suggestions/comments/advice will be greatly appreciated!

any games in the Dragon Quest series including Joker

Thanks adriley...I was thinking about picking up one of the Dragon Quests when I pick up the 3DS. I'm thinking the one that came out last year, 9 I believe

DQ9
Disgaea
Chrono Trigger
Etrian Odyssey (II or II)
Pokemon (any)

Shiren the Wanderer, if you're looking for a polished Roguelike.

DQ IX is an excellent choice, pmm317. Also be sure to pick up IV, V and VI when you get a chance.

Radiant Historia is coming out next week and has been getting rave reviews.

Thanks for all the replies guys - I am thinking Dragon Quest 9 and I did see Radiant Historia on the new releases list on Amazon. Maybe pick it up as well. I mean, how many rpg's can one person play at a time anyway, heh

i was taking a look at that Dragon Quest Joker pokemon type game - does anyone know if it still has an active online community? I thought that would be interesting as well

i dont think so, but its a great game for just the single player
lov blending monsters, GameFAQs is a big help if you dont have a guide

I suggest Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor. Grim story and multiple endings are yummo.

Or just get the 3DS version that is coming.

Hahahaha good looking out. I totally forgot about the 3DS update. Go ahead and ignore my first post there, OP. Instead try out Phantasy Star Zero or Infinite Space.

How is Phantasy Star Zero? They have it for $9.99 at TRU near me.

damn i paid $20 used on amazon and $6 for the guide
seems fun
lov that its not turn based

Thanks everyone, I think I will pick up the 3DS Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor. I think its coming out around June. Before that it'll be hard choice but I will probably pick up one RPG. Maybe the Dragon Quest IX.
