Mine has to be Dragon Quest: Rocket Slime, a DS spin off of the Dragon Quest series that sees you playing as a slime operating a tank and rescuing the people from your town. You run around the overworld, collecting items to use as ammunition and saving money to upgrade your tank. The art and music are just as great as you'd expect from the Dragon Quest series. It made fantastic use of the DS's dual screens. It's also written for a younger audience, so a lot of it is just really silly and fun! Try it out for sure, I'm so sad there's no sequel :(

Golden Sun. They were the best RPG games I've ever played and never get the love they deserve. Don't know why, I've never played a game that struck me like those 2 games did.

The first few Advance Wars games too, Advance Wars and Golden Sun were a huge part of my childhood.

I’m not usually the rpg type but that first Golden Sun game was just amazing. I’ve bought the second ages ago and haven’t gotten to it yet.

Golden sun is one of very few RPG I wanted more of. I remember it being way too short. But it was a blast from start to finish. The puzzles were the best.

You definitely should! It's the other half of the story! I'd say the 2nd one is better than the first one in many ways.

I still listen to the OST sometimes. What a great game

Are y’all just young? Golden Sun and Advance Wars were insanely popular hits when they came out.

This is a thread about the games you like that you don't hear anyone talk about. I don't hear anyone talk about them anymore.

Y’know, that’s completely fair. When I made that comment I was in the “nobody ever talked about” mindset, not “recently.”

I apologize for being a dingus!

(My partner and I were also recently talking about how great Golden Sun is! And you’re right, these days people seem to forget it existed.)

No worries! Honest mistake I'm sure I've made before too lol
