Oops I mean the opposite of "lacking in grind". Some grind is okay, but not something thats too grindy

Going to add Layton, Phoenix Wright, Mario Kart, Mario 64 DS, Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver, The World Ends With You, Picross (3D as well), Advance Wars, Big Bang Mini, Contra 4, Rocket Slime, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 2, Ghost Trick, Hotel Dusk/Last Window, Kirby series, Puzzle Quest. I will try to do a followup with great games that not everyone may agree on or are niche, but that set is pretty much agreed upon as great fuckin' games
These
Only Zookeeper from this

I'm already playing SMTIV atm. I know Strange Journey got remade for 3DS... Is it really worth playing these SMT games? How are they compared to SMTIV

Rhythm Heaven

This opinion is officially correct

TWEWY and Ghost Trick

dont play the 3ds' demake, the original is way better

Rune Factory 3
Ghost Trick

Alright, the followup will have some games that I feel have the "definitive version" on the DS and will be lacking others that are probably better played or updated on something else (Like Strange Journey). There are certainly some take it or leave it titles here, but I personally find merit in these:
>Dark Spire
>Etrian Odyssey games
>Contact
>Elite Beat Agents
>Rhythm Heaven
>Henry Hatsworth
>Inazuma Eleven
>Megaman Starforce (Battle Network is straight up better if you haven't played it)
>Megaman ZX
>Super Princess Peach
>Yoshi's Island DS
>Monster Tale
>Mystery Dungeon series
>Mr. Driller
>Neves
>Pic Pic
>Other pokemon titles (including Conquest)
>Retro Game Challenge
>Trace Memory

There are others but I can't really argue their merit too well. I actually say that the Zelda games on the DS aren't really worth playing. Their control schemes alone make them dogshit.

>strange journey
>better played on something else

It winds up in the latter category of "updated on something else". It's arguable as to which the definitive version actually is due to there being content in the 3DS version that simply doesn't exist in the DS one. I'm not trying to have an argument about which OP should play, just that I am not going to outright recommend it in my list for that reason (I only put EO out there due to III, for example, even though I and II are drastically different experiences than the remakes). The only exceptions were versions of titles which are undeniably the definitive version to play, such as TWEWY.
