I have Lufia, and Soma Bringer (updated my games list), Ys, I also don't like. I'm not a big fan of Action RPG's, so I'm kinda picky. I only really got Soma Bringer because it's by the makers of XenoBlade, which I loved. I might sell Lufia, and save up some money and get the original game for SNES (Lufia 2), it's apparently a turn based RPG, I dunno why they changed it for the remake.

Anything else I'm forgetting? If it's not memorable, it's probably not worth playing over the games I still have to beat in my backlog.

If the games on my list aren't worth being played, then why are you interested in Fire Emblem?

Yes there is a way to play Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem, in full English on the DS and 3DS. Here is the link to the website which made the English patch, they finished it just before Christmas last year.

As for the ROM and the means to play it, you will have to google that yourself. I imported a Japanese copy of the game, so it's legal to play a ROM in Canada for me, but I dunno about laws in other countries

All the Ace Attorney titles.

Layton and the Curious Village was a great ds title. Great graphics, interesting story, and fun puzzles. Get it.

Retro Game Challenge
Feel the Magic Xx/Xy
Rub Rabbits
Contact
Solatorobo

Removed these from the top list after seeing you mention them previously.   

Contra 4
Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow
Castlevania Portrait of Ruin

Just wondering why you're not interested in Castlevania?  There are two styles of Castlevania and while my favorite games are the level based titles, these ones are exploration based like Cave Story or Metroid.  If you don't like the level based ones, if you like Metroid style games, you might like the exploration based ones. 

I beat Feel the Magic, good game, but I don't need to buy it to keep it on my shelf. LOL They made a sequel, I'm sure it's good too, but I dunno. I only manage to beat a few games a year, if I add this to my list, I won't beat it for a decade maybe.

Not too interested in Contact, I've looked into it before, and Retro Game Challenge is alright, but nothing special.

As for Solatorobo, I looked into this game before, but I ignored it. It looks really good, but a bit too childish, and I read the difficulty is pretty easy. What do you think about it?

As for Castlevania, I think this just has to do with my taste. I don't like Westerns, so despite being an awesome game, I can't stand Red Dead Redemption. On the same note, I don't really care much for vampires, or anything that reminds me of 1950's horror. It's just too oldschool for me. I know the 2D gameplay is similar to any other platformer, it's just the environment which ruins it for me.

As for the 3D Castlevania's, they are better, but I'm also not a fan of hack and slash. It looks really good, just not for me.

Your list is awesome! I was only saying that the games that are not on your list are not worth it. At that point, I think it's better to put time and money on other consoles.

Anyhow, thanks for the info!

It's an action/adventure game where the gameplay has more puzzle elements to it.  You take on quests until the main quest progresses, which consist of you doing jobs here and there.  Your main characters robots primary skill is picking up stuff, so when doing puzzles  you might need to move something over to one place and jump on it to get to a higher point, or combat you'll dodge enemies attacks, pick them up and throw them at the ground or at other enemies to cause damage.  Bosses you might not be able to pick up and throw until they're stunned, so throw other smaller enemies at them, etc.  You can also upgrade your mech to have more defense, attatck, etc.  There are other ways to get around, like you might not be able to progress with your robot so you might have to get out of the robot, which does have some platforming parts to it.  You'll be able to fly at certain parts with your robot.  The game also has mini games here and there.  Story is okay, graphics are good.  Good game, but yeah.  Difficulty is extremely easy.

tagged for later lol

Oh, that clarifies things.

Actually I think the Prof Layton and Pheonix Wright series are pretty fun. They aren't Japanese, but it's a nice break from what I'm used to.

That's reason enough not to get it, most DS games are easy enough as it is.

Still good suggestions.

suikoden tierkreis and sideswiped are two great games
