My DS lite was 'stolen' some time ago (at least I assume) but I finally got a new one but I've got the urge for a nice good RPG to play on it. Any DS/GBA RPG to recommend?

I have heard that FF VI is very good. FF IV is good. They are both for the GBA.

And what are those 'ONLY' 3 games which you define as good? "And it's only 1 screen." So. How about that TV screen you look at while you play your PS2 games? I wasn't aware that the TV has dual screens. D:

Your.... ignorant. lemme name some good games. Golden Sun 1 and 2 were great RPGS. so theres 2 right there Pokemon games, theres 5 from there if u like em all so there 5+2= 7 games. Im not gonna name ports but if i did there would be like 10(really random nuumber guess) so 17... Harvest Moon was pretty fun. 18... Im gonna stop there but theres more.

I havent played ff3 yet, so I wouldent kno if thats a good RPG. But Mario and luigi game for the DS a pretty good. but if you looking for a good RPG, The gba offers more titles in that genre.

like..

lunar legend

Tales of Phantasia

Golden sun 1 and 2

and all those final fantasy games

Argh. I'm just going to ignore that few post up. To the topic creator, lots of good RPGs can be found in the GBA library. If you like Final Fantasy, the ports will make a good choice (especially IV and VI for the story). Golden Sun 1is exceptionally good and engaging, and I'm pretty sure the follow-up is as well. If you're a Mario fan and want something lighthearted, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga will definitely charm your pants off. There are more titles out there, but I can't think of any and comment on them as well at the top of my head. For DS games, the RPG selection is pretty limited. FFIII is a good buy although the plot is rather meh. Contact is ok if you have lots of patience for the auto-attack battles. The following are games I haven't played yet, but might be worth checking out. Magical Starsign, Children of Mana, Lost Magic, Izuna and Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time.

Yes I agree that the RPG's on the Ds are limited, and i think they need to make more.But if you looking for a good RPG right now, its not on the DS. Contact,Magical Starsign, Children of Mana, Lost magic and Izuna are horrible example of a Great Handheld Rpg. They are all average games

True, they're just average. But some people enjoy playing them nonetheless. Like the hardcore RPG fans, they would enjoy Izuna immensely because it's merciless on the difficulty level. I'm just basically listing some RPG choices on the DS system. And oh man I forgot. Castlevania, yeh. There's a good action-adventure-RPG on the DS.

Lost Magic is a pretty good game.. IMO.. as the tittle say its about magic.. you are a sorcerer going out for an adventure to save the planet.. (i know.. not very original.. lol)

 

its a fun game which you can use a lot of time in..

Magical Starsign is a great over-looked RPG you should definitely get. Also Fire Emblem and Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones for the GBA are something every GBA owner should have.

I'm thinking now between magical Starsign and Mario & Luigi: Partners in time (FF3 isn't released yet in my country, I'm from belgium)

Magical Starsign seems okay, I want some classic rpg-action and so what if it's easy and simple, nothing wrong with that right?

I've played all of the handheld Castlvanies and the three on the GBA are much better then the ones on the DS.

yes i'm deffinetly picking up Pokemon Diamond when it comes out. Not so much Pokemon Ranger. It looks like a cheap ripoff of the original.
