I’ve been playing the heck out of Devil Survivor 2 Record Breaker. I’ve read the story is not as good as the first game but the game mechanics are better. Years ago I got about half way through the first game. I’ll have to go back to it.
Oh nice! I really liked the game mechanics in the first one so this makes me even more excited! And yeah I think revisiting the first one may offer a nice perspective at least. The latter part of the game had some cool demons & plot-wise there were some decisive choices that brought the story in an interesting direction.
@@orbalology Oh, they are. THEY ARE. Where the first is concerned, I have a heavy gameplay bias towards the DS original. The Switch looks better, has more music, and has a scenario that directly (in admittedly a small way) links to the sequel.
Just found your channel today, watched several videos and subscribed! I like your taste in games and am already loving your channel. I’m a HUGE handheld gamer with several 3DS, Vita and Switch consoles and tons of games. Can’t wait to follow your progress on UA-cam and hopefully get recommendations from you! Btw I loved Nino Kuni 2 way more than the original…will be curious to see what you think.
Thank you so much, and yay glad to hear that you love handhelds a lot too! The opinion over the Nino Kuni games seems so split so I'm really curious which camp I'll end up falling in :)
Vanillaware games have really beautiful art! I'm trying to pick up more of their other games on the Vita & PS4, and also looking forward to their Grim Grimoire remaster on the Switch too.
I know this happened in April, but nice haul! I picked up 13 Sentinels for Switch on a recent sale, and am looking forward to starting it this holiday season.
I think xeno blade 3 will be a combination of blade 1 x and 3 and tie into gears and saga and also be a sequel so I see it jumping across different timelines with time skips some how
I just picked up Devil Survivor last month, it's now one of my favorite SMT games of all time. That game and Trails of cold steel 4 have eaten up the vast majority of my gaming time, and I've loved every minute of it.
Just wanted to say I like your videos and comments you have on your channel. Could you make a horror genre of games you would play? Just curious THANK YOU XXX.
Horror isn't a genre I gravitate towards, but I have a few games I was thinking of trying out in October this year. We'll see if I have time to play them :)
I wanna start getting those atlus games, before the same thing that occurred with 3ds atlus games happens on switch's . Nice pick ups! Will you ever stream a gameplay?
Going for Atlus games is a good call! The Switch doesn't have many which is a pity, but they'll hopefully release more on the system soon. I'm excited for Grim Grimoire that they recently announced. So I don't really have a set up for streaming so I don't really have plans anytime soon. Maybe later, but for now I'm just having fun posting videos :)
I think I played about 5 Atelier games on PS3 but haven’t played any since. I should get back into them. It appears we have a similar problem of buying too many RPGs. However, with that in mind, you should consider getting a PSP. There are so many good RPGs.
Oh definitely give at least the Ryza games a go! I really liked some of the quality of life improvements on those games (& also really enjoyed those characters too). And I do have plans to import a PSP eventually! It has a lot of exclusive games I would be interested in. Just so many games, so little time and all that 😅
I have been playing a bunch of Animal Crossing, Smash Bros, Mario Kart lately. I will get the new Kirby eventually lol. On PS4 its mainly been playing Gran Turismo 7 and Overwatch. My backlog is pretty huge on PS4 so I need to get on those lol
Nice! Yeah I have my eye on the new Kirby game as well, just waiting for a sale/special promo since it seems like Nintendo likes discounting their first party games lately. My backlog is huge too so plenty of other games to play in the meantime 😅
Thanks! Digimon Survive is actually another game I am super excited for - you're totally right that the gameplay is totally up my alley. Growing up I was also more of a Digimon kid than a Pokemon kid (when it came to the franchise & anime), so that makes it all that more exciting for me :)
The thing I liked better about Digimon anime was the characters actually grew and time moved on for them. Another game you might want to check out is Valkyria chronicles 2. It's got a similar turn based battles/VN setup. Should still be available for download on vita.
Oh I have Valkyria Chronicles 4 that I've been meaning to play in my backlog. But good tip on the 2nd one being available on the Vita - I'll need to check it out.
Nice! I heard that playasia is now offering free economy shipping indefinitely for orders over $100 so I was actually thinking about picking up Chrono Cross along with some other Asian-English Switch games in the near future. Hope your copy arrives soon!
@@orbalology yeah same here i plan to order the final fantasy games since both games are on the same cartridge not like the US version. i hope they still have copies when you decide to pull the trigger since its a playasia exclusive
Ah yeah, I saw Square Enix needed to send another run to Playasia because of demand and even though I was attempting to slow down this month I may need to move some buying plans up 😅
I wonder what draws people like us to buy, collect, and play all these games. I’m sure it’s a lot like being a bookworm, or a cinephile.. but it’s cool knowing there are a bunch of us out there who appreciate these games for their art, music, gameplay, story, etc.
Idk if you are interested but PNP is having a Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Torna reprint in these upcoming days. I managed to grab one in their first batch but sold out fast. But yeah if you are interested in the NA version, keep an eye out on their store. Also I love your taste as its the same as mine haha ! would love to connect with you if you have a twitter or other social media.
I did see that PNP was getting reprints of XC2 Torna! I missed out on both of the recent waves but it sounds like they have another order coming this summer so I'll probably need to turn on my notifications haha. I was hoping to grab that & also a new copy of XC2. It's cool that they can request Nintendo to reprint those, I wonder why we're not seeing that offered anywhere else. And I'm on Twitter with the same handle @orbalology. I haven't mentioned it in my videos yet because I'm not super active. But I'm hoping to correct that soon 😅
I love the games and verity please keep making videos. I really enjoy them.
Thank you! I'm glad you've been enjoying them :)

You are very soothing to listen to 🙏
Thanks :)
YOU HAVE MY 2021 GAME OF THE YEAR (NEO: The World Ends With You), AND I'M EXCITED THAT YOU GOT IT.
I'm really excited to get to it (along with the first game I recently acquired as well)! They look like a lot of fun 😄
@@orbalology Oh, they are. THEY ARE. Where the first is concerned, I have a heavy gameplay bias towards the DS original. The Switch looks better, has more music, and has a scenario that directly (in admittedly a small way) links to the sequel.
Yup I heard the controls are less awkward in the DS version so I went with that one :)
Awesome video and games! thanks for sharing. Subscribed and look forward to seeing your future pickups!
Thank you so much!

@@orbalology also I just recently started 13 Sentinels on Switch and it is cool and the art style is beautiful!

I think xeno blade 3 will be a combination of blade 1 x and 3 and tie into gears and saga and also be a sequel so I see it jumping across different timelines with time skips some how
That would be an interesting way to tie them altogether. Can't wait for XC3 to come out soon!
I just picked up Devil Survivor last month, it's now one of my favorite SMT games of all time. That game and Trails of cold steel 4 have eaten up the vast majority of my gaming time, and I've loved every minute of it.
They're both great games to sink time into! I just started Record Breaker and hoping it lives up the the high expectations I have after Overclocked.
@@orbalology Does your channel name have anything to do with Trails?
Yup it's sort of a reference, Trails is one of my favorite series :)
@@orbalology AHah! You have excellent taste : D
You as well 😄

I have been playing a bunch of Animal Crossing, Smash Bros, Mario Kart lately. I will get the new Kirby eventually lol. On PS4 its mainly been playing Gran Turismo 7 and Overwatch. My backlog is pretty huge on PS4 so I need to get on those lol
Oh yeah I still play my 2DSXL (Pikachu model) too. Mainly Pokemon Ultra Sun
Nice! Yeah I have my eye on the new Kirby game as well, just waiting for a sale/special promo since it seems like Nintendo likes discounting their first party games lately. My backlog is huge too so plenty of other games to play in the meantime 😅
Great mix of rpgs and VNs. Are you going to pick up Digimon survive? That should be right up your alley.

@@orbalology are you going to mod your vita? If you do you can get the much darker VC3 that we never got in the states.
My slim model is actually already modded. I haven't looked into many PSP games to run on it yet, but VC3 is one I'll definitely add - thanks!
Where do you get your Japanese games from
I usually import them new from Amazon Japan or I buy them used from various Japanese sites (that ship within Japan only) using a proxy service.
I myself and a slave to my ps Vita
best pick up ive gotten so far is chrono cross from playasia. not in my possession yet but i cant wait for it to arrive
Nice! I heard that playasia is now offering free economy shipping indefinitely for orders over $100 so I was actually thinking about picking up Chrono Cross along with some other Asian-English Switch games in the near future.
Hope your copy arrives soon!

It's been great discovering & interacting with a lot of likeminded people on this platform :)
