It’s top of my list for great games to shut off and enjoy. In sum, Fantasy Life is Animal Crossing with more JRPG goodness and an actual story. It’s a Level-5 game so you can expect a wholesome experience wrapped up in an adorable bobble-headed style that is fun for all the family. Although I spent many days living the sweet angling life, I was honestly the fish in this situation. Like a MMORPG (but without people to deal with), Fantasy Life nails the sense of progression that keeps you coming back for more. Some involve conventional monster bashing, others task you with performing rhythm mini-games. Bored of playing adventurer? Why not try your hand at becoming a cook or an alchemist or a tailor? Why not try all of them? The great thing about this cheerful game is that you can easily switch between the twelve life classes on offer and each one has their own rewards and style of play. Oh, and no objections to the soundtrack either – hats off to that!įantasy Life is a life sim but with many lives. The game makes more tweaks to Ace Attorney’s formula with multi-witness testimonies in new mob-style trials and animated cut-scenes, the latter of which was carried over into Phoenix’s next installment, Dual Destinies. This crossover follows tradition with a beguiling tale of witch trials in the mysterious city of Labyrinthia and plenty of narrative curveballs to catch the player off guard. It helps that both share similarities like off the wall bonkers plots. It’s a crazy blend that somehow captures their unique charms whilst appearing completely on par for each series. Capcom and Level-5 affixed Layton’s puzzles to the testimonial shredding of Ace Attorney with neither side overshadowing the other. Phoenix Wright: Ace AttorneyĪs a massive fan of top-hats and courtroom shenanigans, I had to include this game, which slams togethers two modern cult classics of the adventure genre to produce an even more niche but brilliant offspring. If you like well-polished, thoughtful tactical JRPGs, don’t skip a beat on this one.Ģ) Professor Layton vs. Quite fittingly then, where Stella Glows sings is in its spectacular sound design (the composer is Yasunori Mitsuda of Chrono fame) and heartfelt performances from the witches’ VAs. Music is the theme uniting plot and gameplay, as the influence of song in the story is mirrored in the game’s systems. The narrative is intriguing, the twists impactful, characters lovably emotional. Following a familiar story of misguided knights locked in conflict with vilified witches. The final game of Imageepoch and a spiritual successor for their also wonderful Luminous Arc series. Let’s start with a swan song for a swan song. So with that out of the way, move over Switch – today, we’re focusing on the big mama of handhelds! Obvious disclaimer: this list is my opinion only and in no particular order. Nevertheless, I feel compelled to write my two bits on some lesser known titles that are worthy of your time then and now. ‘Hidden gem’ lists are probably not far behind.
There are almost as many ‘best 3DS games’ lists as the number of games on the system. I have so many warm memories of playing the excellent 3DS catalogue.
It showed me ambitious new perspectives in Pokemon X/Y, as well as the potential scope for refreshing beloved classics with Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire. This was the system that introduced me to Fire Emblem (Awakening kept me sane while I was wrangling with my BA finals). I’d play day and night curled up in blankets.
STELLA GLOW STREETPASS SOFTWARE
And, my, does the 3DS have a ton of imaginative, timelessly brilliant games – not to mention the cornucopia of DS software available due to the system’s backwards compatibility. These things were advertised on the shelves, but for me – for many, I expect – the games were the true show-stoppers. There were many features that made it sparkle: the headliner stereoscopic 3D effects new social capabilities with StreetPass and Miiverse even the updated form factor of Nintendo’s sleek clam-shell design. While this console has not quite matched the overwhelming sales records of the DS (and frankly nothing comes close amongst handhelds), there is simply something special about this pocket-sized wonder. The 3DS was discontinued as of September 2020 after a near decade of gaming goodness.
