I appreciate all the different genres you covered here in this video. A little bit of this and a little bit of that, and they all look fun/interesting. Thanks for the post and hope you have happy holidays man
Mega Man Star Force in the thumbnail and Mega Man Star Force music in the video but no actual Mega Man Star Force game being highlighted :( Nice to see Bomberman Land touch get love here though, it has a sequel that's also worth your time too
I only got one a couple of years ago and I was blown away by how nice those screens are. The big, bright, sparse pixels give it a nearly CRT like effect to me
Finally some love for tenchu. The hate it gets is wild because people expected the level of the ps1 or ps2 games when its on a handheld and it runs amazing.
I have weird nostalgia for 3D environments with sprite based characters. It was such a fun combination and DS absolutely nailed it. I would gladly take a remake of Glory of Heracles or Blue Dragon, remade from the fround up in HD 2D.
Dang, Drift Street International looks impressive for the DS! Definitely downloading this to play. Bomberman Land Touch is one that's been on my radar to get a physical copy of, as it looks like a blast (pun intended lol). Tenchu I was surprised to see here! I have it, and while it's a watered down experience, I found it as a guilty pleasure (at least now I know I wasn't the only one that enjoyed it for what it was lol). Another excellent episode man!
Great video mate, some games here i haven't heard of before, the DS has such an incredible library, Rocket Slime is one of my fave games on the system. Keep up the great work, i always enjoy your vids, from a fellow welshman, in Llandudno lol 😊
8:29 This game is actually a spinoff, including Swordcraft Story games Summon Night started as a strategy RPG (Final Fantasy Tactics-like), and there are six games. Most of them never left Japan, except for Summon Night 5 and Summon Night 6. You dont really need knowledge of any games to play these two since theyre standalone-ish experience So, any game that is not SRPG is a spinoff. Though, interestingly enough, there are a handful of times characters from the main series make a cameo in the spinoff games (iirc the protagonist of Summon Night 2 made an appearance in Swordcraft Story 2)
Rocket Slime love yesss! It’s such a cute and adorable yet super fun game! I remember laughing so much at the silly slime characters’ faces and emotes. Also there is Summon Nights on the DS!? I only tried the GBA game and didn’t go far since my Japanese is not good. Might have to try the DS one out. Seems like the battles are similar to the DS Zelda games but with their own quirks…
tenchu dark secret is horrible.. i've been a fan since the original black and white intro on the first game for ps1, i really wanted to like dark secret. i highly advise folks avoid it; now tenchu time of assassins (eu) or tenchu san (jp) for psp.. those are hidden gems.
It's incredible that RPGs and games from companies with way less money than Game Freak had massively better graphics than Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, which are essentially Game Boy Advance games on Nintendo DS for the most part. Gen 5 reached a bare minimum though.
To be fair, unlike the more modern entries, the Pokémon themselves took up a lot of that precious data and development focus. Pokémon has never been about the graphics, but that wasn't really a problem until the Switch when the gap became significantly less excusable. At best, (gens 1 and 5), it was comparable to it's handheld contemporaries. At worst, it didn't, but the sheer number of Pokémon and secrets made up for it.

Man, the DS library is deep. I've been hunting hidden gems for over a decade now and these were still new to me
The console just keeps on giving!

I NEED the entire Dragon Quest Slime Series to be translated! 😭
Yes
The third one was.
I would gladly pay 60$ for a remake of Rocket Slime. I did a 100% on the DS years ago and I'll do it again.
@adam145 you're the reason why this generation has no games
@@knuclear200x nothing wrong with a remake tho
DSi XL still goes hard in 2024
I only got one a couple of years ago and I was blown away by how nice those screens are. The big, bright, sparse pixels give it a nearly CRT like effect to me
Its my favorite handheld next to psp sp many titles i will never stop playing it
Literally a perfect console. Both technically and aesthetically. Belongs in a museum
@@leftyfourgunsone pretty big weakness though: no circle pad
I just got a New 3DS so I'm watching all your videos for lesser known games
Nice! Hope you find something you like.
My favorite handle, even in old hardware there's still something new to see
Still finding great new games to this day!
Finally some love for tenchu. The hate it gets is wild because people expected the level of the ps1 or ps2 games when its on a handheld and it runs amazing.
so? PSP has PS2/Wii ports of Tenchu games

Nintendo owns the glory of Herakles IP, is just up they fund it with paon
Such a great aesthetic!
YOU DID IT!!!! YOU DID IT!!!! BIG BANG MINI WAS MENTIONED!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!
Had so much fun playing it. Really solid game!
@ Glad you liked it, I recommended it for a reason! And you’re the reason I played Macross Delta Scramble on Vita! :D
@@NinBendo1 Big Bang Mini was a strong part of my Teenage years. 😌
Big Bang Mini had such an amazing soundtrack too! I got the OST cd bundled with the game when it came out 🥰
I'll second that. Some really catchy tunes!
"You take control of Rikumaru"
Showing footage of using Ayame
Glad to see someone mention Summon Night: Twin Age! It's been a favorite of mine.
Deserves way more attention!
@ I have all the icons from their official site, when it was up. I'm trying to figure out where to upload them now.
A new TVGS ep just in time for Christmas!
Merry Christmas!

Rocket Slime is amazing! One of my favorites games on DS
One of the greats!

Summon night twin age? How have I never heard of this game before? I want it.
Same here, was surprised to learn one released on the DS. It's pretty decent as well!

It's my first time seeing Bomberman Land Touch! In a yt video. Thanks for giving it the attention and love it deserves!
No problem!
Rocket slime is legit one of my top ten of all time. What a great game
Same here, it's a gem
I'll second that!
I just want to say.... having Drift City music playing during Drift Street International was a prime choice. I miss that MMO...
Same here!
Glory of Heracles and blue dragon plus mentioned😮😮😮 totally the goat
Solid RPG's!
What track did you use with Summon Night Twin Age?

Rocket Slime was my first DS game
Great first game to have!

Rocket Slime looks SO cute and fun
It's a really fun game!

What good taste to put megaman battle network and starforce as a background soundtrack.
Love those soundtracks!
Another great video full of games to try out
Glad you like them!
Bro thank you for your great work
Thank you for watching man!
Just realized Tenshu Dark Secret abreviated is Tenshu DS, clever bastards
Bomberman Land Touch! Was so fun and addicting. 2nd game is so expensive 2nd hand though 😭
@@Ratersen
I looks like a job for
🌈 Emulation!!! 🦄✨
@Pridetoons yea I can easily download it rom wise but I'm collecting physical copies of games I like lol
@@Ratersen Fair Enough Sir. 👍
Always a good time when you upload
Thanks Sam!
Another great recomendations!
Glad you like them!
Ok this encourages me to try Summon Night Twin Age
Hope you enjoy it!
Summon Night is a good game on its own, but a big letdown compared to the previous two
Civvie and TVGS uploading a new video on the same day, I feel like I'm being spoiled
5:11 Drift Street International
DSI
I see what they did there
Is it "bullet hail" or "bullet hell"? 🤔 both are applicable, but I swear I hear both when watching game reviews/retrospectives lol
I have the dragon quest hero rocket slime 2. Very fun
Such great games!
Anyone know the song names of 5:09 and 13:10 ?
Solid gold list!
Cheers!
@@thatvideogamesshow cheers!
Ahhh i finally remembered rocket slime
Such a great game!
tenchu dark secret is horrible.. i've been a fan since the original black and white intro on the first game for ps1, i really wanted to like dark secret. i highly advise folks avoid it; now tenchu time of assassins (eu) or tenchu san (jp) for psp.. those are hidden gems.
Got my popcorn.
During the drift street International was that a drift city song I'm hearing!?
Good ear!
How about Knights in the Nightmare?
Solid game!
Dragon Quest IX

Rune Factory 3 where
(5:09) Drift City OST
Such a great soundtrack!

Nostalgia. I miss the game.

I refused to buy any bomberman for my 3ds is cos bm is. Sacrilege to not play anyway but multiplayer.
How much time do you spend playing each of these games?
I just bought new luminous arc 1 + 2 for my 3ds 😊 to add to my other ds games like pokemon conquest, dragon ballz etc..
Tenchu DS is hot dogshit but otherwise good list.

Too bad the ones i wanted to play dont have a retroachievment set yet
