I feel like Trauma Center, Infinite Space, Hotel Dusk, 999, and Lock's Quest are pretty well known but I literally had never even heard of the rest of the games on the list until now. Nice list

Well they are definitely known more than some of the other games but they are still not that popular looking at the bigger picture and comparing them to other games. Also I am glad that you enjoyed the video and I hope you found couple of new gems you can add to your back catalog!

Yeah shocking right lol. I was actually arguing also putting Ace Attorney on this list but I think Ace Attorney is was more popular than 999 Zero Escape and would not be considered a "hidden gem game" to be honest I was questioning should I put 999, Hotel Dusk and Lock's Quest in my list at all but I am glad I did even though they are slightly more "known" compared to some other games on this top list.

The DS also had many licensed games what never came to the west, there is also a D. Gray Man visual novel style of game what never came to the west (but you can play it in English there is a fan translation), sadly I found Lux Pain to be the better visual novel, so that game didn't make the cut.

Rhapsody on the DS is kind of a really weird game due to its history. It's a port/remake of a game that originally came out on the PS1, but in that original version, it was actually a tactical strategy RPG in the same style as FF Tactics or Disgaea (same studio that made Disgaea, in fact). But then when it came to the DS, they took out the original gameplay and turned it into a traditional turn-based RPG.
@Official_RetroMania

Probably different because of hardware limitations, the DS is clearly weaker compared to the PS1 and so they remade the game from the ground up for a portable system. I think both versions are good and the story and charming characters are still maintained in both versions.

@@Official_RetroMania Well, there _are_ other tactical RPGs on the DS as well. Final Fantasy Tactics A2, Pokemon Conquest, even Disgaea. I think the change might have been deliberate for a different reason: Rhapsody has two sequels on the PS1, both of them Japan-exclusive, and they're both traditional turn-based RPGs as well.

Unlikely to be expensive, as it's not very sought after. It's not common to see it though, having been released early in the life of the DS, so get it if you see it

@@andreysegura2510 Its not sought after yet. The gameplay is very DS heavy. I don't see it being ported. You hold it like a book and the puzzles have some features like closing the lid of the DS to flip a puzzle over. But it is nintendo published and I think its uncommon.

Touch Detective is a very charming detective game. There is also a 3rd entry called: Touch Detective Rising 3 on the 3DS but sadly that one came out only in Japan, even the Nintendo Switch re-release had only a Japanese re-release. You can however find English fan translations for the 3rd game if you are interested in the series after you played 1 and 2.

Both versions are fine. The Vita remastered version is obviously sharper but the pixel art style is also charming and has is own style. It also depends on your preferences, do you like playing your games with your stylus pen if so then go for DS but the analog stick controls are very smooth as well they took they time to remaster that game for modern platforms like the Vita or PS4 or PC or Xbox so whatever platform you choose is fine and the game is a masterpiece so don't worry about the platform.
