The World Ends with You single handily destroys all other offerings on the JRPG'S front, and don't even mention the iOS version because that pos is nowhere as good on a game play level.

Most quantity of pretty good ones imo?
yes. TWEWY and DQV were awesome though.

Best ones?
IU like Demon Soul's/Dark Soul's, Dark Soul's, Deus Ex, New Vegas more than anything on DS...

Great game. We need a proper sequel. It would play great on the Wii U.

It depends if you played with the 2nd screen or not. I did so the gameplay is still better on DS.

 I know fair amount of people that didn't like controlling on 2 screens, put the 2nd screen on auto. Then the iOS is basically the same, with better graphics and music.

I must disagree. I actually don't remember many DS RPGs : FFTA2 was magic for sure, Fire Emblem and Pokemon were good as usual but beyond that... I played far more JPRGs on PS3/PSP. But as I import from Japan, it may be purely circumstantial..

 

 


then you really missed out on the mario rpgs, the valkyrie profile, the true FF remakes, and a shit ton more also the world ends with you

auto sucks, I destroyed with manual, it's much better for pulling supers.

I don't know. The DS Lite sucked anyways-

I hate mario. I played Valkyrie Profile Covenant but I found it barely average, and I must admit I overlooked TWEWY.

I would agree, but I think in order for a system to be declared king of RPG's, it needs to have the best RPG's on it. The DS had some great RPG's on it, but I would say the Best JRPG this gen is probably The Last Story on the Wii, followed closely by Xenoblade Chronicles on the wii. The third best JRPG would probably be Lost Odyssey on the 360, so you have to go pretty far down the list of great RPG's to end up with a DS RPG... So IMO, I couldn't give that title to the DS. Also, WRPG's don't even register on the DS. WRPG's would probably go to 360 or ps3.

You hate the RPG games or you hate Mario? Those are 2 different things, if you just hate Mario for being Mario then you are just a racist against short Italians and that's fine, but if you hate the games without playing them, you are bat shit crazy, and if you still hate it after playing them while pretending that Mario doesn't exist, you are still bat shit crazy.
