NWR: The hallmark of the 3DS's most popular franchise (Pokémon) is that it has a front game that can be wrapped in as little as 25 hours if you know what you're doing, and then it has a radically expanded post game with multiple layers of complexity. In LBX (short for Little Battlers eXperience) Level-5 has stuck to the formula quite closely, but replaced the cute or powerful monsters with miniature robots. The result is a solid foundation that, hopefully, will be built on if some of the Japan-exclusive sequels are localized.
Michibiku's Jenni Lada writes, "Something has been building on the Nintendo 3DS. Slowly, but surely, Nintendo, Aksys and XSEED have been contributing to an unintentional agenda. The handheld’s status as a JRPG haven this generation has been cemented since its 2011 debut, but there’s more to it than that. In the last seven months, it’s become the place to go for introductory JRPGs."
LBX: Little Battlers eXperience is a 3DS exclusive based off the hit anime. This mech fighting game features over 3k parts to customize your LBX with, but should you give this "eXperience" a chance? Find out in this short & concise review.
Phil writes, "SuperPhillip Central's Most Overlooked series of articles, one of the oldest and longest-running on the site, is back! This time we're dealing with the Nintendo 3DS, a system that I argue has the most quality content across any platform this generation. Regardless of platform, however, there are bound to be games that we overlook, that are underrated, and games that just don't get their due diligence and time in the spotlight. The following five games may not have gotten the best scores, have the most mindshare, or have set the sales charts on fire, but they're still remarkable titles all the same."
