Deciding the best DS JRPG is no doubt a little bit late since the handheld itself has been around for 10+ years, but it’s still absolutely exciting!

About ProFanboy

Hi, I'm Reza, and I've been playing video games since I was a kid. My first console was the original PlayStation (the gray one) and I spent countless hours playing Crash Bandicoot series and Spyro series. My second console was the PS2 Fat, and I completed all of the GTA series 100%.
