2:45 The game where Scott The Woz’s theme originated from.

As a fan of lost dimension, there's one very important part that makes it one of my favorite games. Yes, there's traitors. Yes, they are randomized. But, unlike other games with this kind of detail, YOU CAN GET IT WRONG. The game will not auto-end if you vote out the wrong person. You'll even get dialogue based on if you're right or not. And well, naturally having traitors may change a thing or two, but the fact the game does not hold your hand and make you pick out the traitor. You can totally get yourself into some deep shit. And that's awesome.

My God. I never realized the story writer for Devil Survivor also wrote Radiant Histora. So thats why I love both stories! Not to mention the music in both games just slaps hard!

"Upgrade your sword to make it longer and wider." - Narly 2020

Radiant Historia is incredible. I remember playing the DS one and loving it but never actually finishing it. I might pick it up again

9:47 Radiant Historia! One of my favourite JRPGs, the music alone is worth playing, especially when the sad theme (Where the Wind and Feathers Return) starts playing.

Having Tanaka's Amazing Comodities play during the sponsor break is just wonderful.

Radiant Historia has been and will be one of my favorite Atlus RPGs of all time. I love the story, the characters and the music. I'm so glad I got a chance to play it. This game will always hold a place in my memories. I also love Eterian Odyssey too.

Great choice of music for the sponsorship portion. EDIT: Also, this video has the most games I've heard of. 3D Dot Game Hero is always brought up in videos on "zelda clones" as doing it right, YuoTuber BigKlingy did an LP of Lost Dimension a few years back, and Radiant Historia has been on my radar to get for some time now.

Now that I think of it the designs of 3d dot game hero’s remind me of the Mitsuo boss fight from persona 4

Radiant Historia is one of my favorite games of all time, I'm glad it appeared on here! Though, I'm surprised that Hexyz Force hasn't appeared anywhere on these lists anywhere.

3d Dot game heroes was exposed to me by scott the woz' outro song. and boy is that game a good one, but I didn't know it was made by atlus. I assumed it was an indie company.

Thank you for covering Lost Dimension! It is such an underrated gem 😌

Do my eyes deceive me? A Radiant Historia mention? Thank you my man :D

Atlus is one of those things where you never realize it until you either start digging or stumble into it, but you find out that they've had a hand in an absurdly wide swath of media, and by extension culture at large. It's like 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon, the Ryu Number system, or just finding out how many fandoms are in part offshoots of Super Best Friends.

8:09 i like how the term “firebend” and the other bending styles from avatar have become so commonplace that when it’s used for things completely unrelated to avatar, everyone automatically knows what it is

I just gotta say incase someone needed this, no matter how hard things get just know you can push through. You got this and Godspeed my friend.

3-D Dot Game Heroes in the thumbnail *crushes beer* **YEAH**

Thats pretty “nyarly” bro

I must be some kind of weirdo since I've heard of all of these and have all but one. It should noted that, with Lost Dimension, playing an NG+ with the clear data from your first playthrough will guarantee the party members who weren't a traitor the first time _will_ be the second. This is how you can do all of the characters quests and get the true ending.

Nyarly talks about 3D dot game heroes *insert obvious Scott The Woz joke here*

Radiant Historia is simply incredible, a must play ds jrpg imo.

Yggdra Union is another forgotten game, which was published by Atlus in the US, and was released on the GBA and PSP. Nobody really talks about it much, but it's a great and fun game.

I love the background music during the sponsor segment, nice touch!

WOOOW you finally mentioned Radiant Historia! I have the the collector’s edition of the rerelease

I just want to also add that radiant historia perfect chronology has exceptional voice acting. People gripe about the new portraits but I couldn't decide whether I like the older or new ones better and the old ones are only like $2 as DLC

I have Radiant Historia for the 3ds. I absolutely recommend getting it.

my favorite thing about these vids is that you don’t just list the games off, you actually get copies and play them. really great work

Random but I prefer the old Atlus logo over the current one... it’s basically the same but the new one looks off to me

Yo, 3DS peeps? Go get Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology. Knowing how Atlus likes to do things, it's probably on sale for half off around holidays and the like, as well as the MegaTen and Etrian Odyssey games. Seriously, I don't even think I'm halfway through yet and it's so good. Moreover, RH is the kind of game that I really wish had a bigger community/following; I mean, it's a story based entirely around time travel, potential futures, and "what-if" events, with an interesting plot and a strong cast of characters to boot! Anyways, go treat yourselves to a good Atlus JRPG on the 3DS, especially if it's on sale.

Yes, Lost Dimension! Thank you for highlighting it, it’s probably my favorite Atlus published game. I’m going to speedrun the game soon in an effort to try and get the game a little bit more attention. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quick game to play

7:02 The way the sprites move feels oddly satisfying to me.

I remember picking up 3D Dot Game Heroes on my PS3 that I only have for P3FES, and seeing that little Atlus logo is so charming :)

Never played the original Radiant Historia but do have the remake that I need to get around to playing

When I was a kid, I saw a few clips of Jewel Summoner but forgot the name. It was on the tip of my tounge for years. It haunted me on occasion. Thanks for showing it here.

Funny enough I found Lost Dimension in the Bargain bin at a local department store chain earlier this year. Certainly not the greatest game I ever played but a lot of fun and I did end up playing it twice for the true ending

Normally I wouldn’t say this, but congrats on your first sponsor!!

radiant historia is fantastic! cannot recommend it enough.

Lost Dimensions is such an amazing game, one of my favorites of all time! And that opening song slaps!

Forgot Radiant Historia was from Atlus, I already have it and played it.

I can't wait until you talk about Folklore. I have fond memories of me and my sister playing through the chapters back to back.

It's amazing how you got through three of these videos without talking about Battle B-Daman, or the sequel, Fire Sprits. Don't worry, as a B-Daman fan, I'm used to it.

Wow, Jewel Summoner seems right up my alley. To be honest, if I were to judge the game on the title itself, I would have likely thought it was a bejeweled clone and just ignored it.

HE DID IT

There are a few more games you forgot. Two of them are Double Dragon Advance and River City Ransom EX, Game Boy Advance remakes of the original NES titles everyone loves. They were published by Atlus USA in North America, and developed by Millon (Which owned all of Technos' IPs at the time). I remember reading a lot about them on internet back then, but people forgot them. You should really try these two. Besides that, you did a great video as usual!

8:27 Damn, unlocking quests when you get them high enough? The only thing that unlocks when you get me high enough is your pantry.

I still have a physical copy of Lost Dimension for the VITA, I even got the platinum trophy, really good game. I'm playing Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology, amazing game.

I’m still waiting for you to talk about Virtual Hydlide, the greatest game Atlus has ever published!

Radiant Historia is one of my favorite games ever. What especially stood out to me was how charming the major characters were. Also the soundtrack is composed by YOKO SHIMOMURA.

Lost Dimension social aspects have some nifty little tricks though, because the game kinda keeps track of both your social progression and combat progression in regards to the voting system. Charecters who are used more and succeed more in battle are trusted more, while the opposite also occurs. That means the party is more likely to vote that the least used party members are traitors. Conversely, if you try and convince them that somebody who was highly ranked was the traitor, they may change their vote to YOU due to you accusing somebody popular rather than believing your charecter, which can make it difficult if the game picks your favorite as the Traitor as you will have a hard time convincing the others that they are the traitor. You may also find that even though you pick the traitor, you get outvoted due to the NPC's not following your voting pattern if you didn't talk to them regarding their votes (you are less likely to get these conversations if you are ranked in the lower half as the NPC's don't value your opinion).

Lost Dimension was fun. I believe if you build a strong bond with a traitor, they let out a dramatic death cry when they get offed. Nice little touch.(if I'm remembering right)

Nyarly my dude, thank you for existing and making this video, I started playing Lost Dimension like three days back and I'm obsessed

3D Dot Game Héroes strongly reminds me of the Mitsuo fight from P4.

damn Lost Dimension looks right up my alley. hopefully it will go on sale around christmas cause that is my kind of game. always love these vids.

Funny story I actually have the box for Perfect Chronology still for the sole purpose of having it autographed one day because the dub case is super solid

If a part 4 ever happens, talk about contact on the DS, clunky little action rpg with a pretty good story and interesting concepts, also it has a great soundtrack

Not only have I played the first two games on your list, their stocked at my local library.

An actually pretty soulful game game that Atlus published is Contact. Check out the OST, if anything. It's actually a grasshopper manufacture game.

Etrian oddesy is still pretty good

I need to find a copy of Radiant Historia 3DS asap, damn

Dragon's Crown is one of my favourites. I bought it again a few days ago and I already have almost 40 hours played.

Dang. I didn't realize how many Atlus games I've played before looking at these videos. Radiant Historia, Etrian Odyssey, Tactics Ogre, Luminous Arc, Yggdra Union...

I love how the sponsor ad has tanaka's music playing in the background.

I really want a Folklore video, I remember being a kid and wanting a ps3 so bad because of this game

Jewel Summoner...... i know it existed but never caught my attention, but if Nyarly recommends it, i will try it

2:42 hey all nyarly here

7:26 If you like games where there's a random traitor, I also recommend Dark Rose Valkyrie.

I adored Jewel Summoner & Folklore Folklore is criminally slept on

Using a persona ost while advertising for another company isn't a very smart move Mr. Nyarly

**Atlus makes a non SMT game** Also Atlus: let's never speak of this game ever again.

Nyarly, I don't remember if you talked about Stella Glow on the 3DS in one of your Obscure ATLUS Games videos, but I'm playing it right now and it is a very underrated gem from the defunct Imageepoch. Story and characters may both be clichéd, but it's well written and voice casted IMO, and the battle system is just pure TRPG fun, though not as deep as say Final Fantasy Tactics or Fire Emblem. Definitely worth buying and playing if anyone hasn't gotten the chance yet. Also, shoutouts to Radiant Historia and 3D Dot Game Heroes for being mentioned in this video! Great job, man!

didnt know radiant historia was an atlus game. played the hell out of it back in the day

You finally mentioned Radiant Historia! This is the game that introduced me to Atlas.

Your intro is the best thing i’ve ever seen.

I want a proper revival of Snowboard Kids, I mean a PROPER revival, not what that DS game was.

Thank you HCBailly for introducing me to Radiant Historia

We need more nyarly

To anyone interested in Europe - Radiant Historia 3DS is on sale on the eshop for like 7 Euro atm. (Just on the off-chance someone who fits that very specific subset comes across this)

Jewel Summoner has the same energy as Shouzou Kaga's Tear Ring and Berwick Saga

This upload schedule is epic

Hey nyarly, recently gotten into your channel and have been binging your videos. If you ever decide to do another of these, I recommend you check out Stella glow. Been one of my favorite rugs since it came out and would love to see it spread to more people

The craziest thing about 3D Dot Game Heroes is that nobody talks about it other than for that one song Because Ya know ... Hey all

I was waiting for breakout to play when talking about 3d dot game heroes

The BEST obscure Atlus game is definitly Virtual Hydlide for the Sega Saturn! A game obsessed with making sure you appreciate every frame, by never going beyond around 10 frames per second, and even lower during more intense gameplay like walking inside a mansion, while also making sure not to make the INSANELY overpowered overworld enemies bother you too much, since they give you nothing for beating them, except a few points you can spend in shops, where everything costs THOUSANDS of points, making the hundred thousand points you get for each quest a little more appealing... Virtual Hydlide is The Room of video games for me, and i sometimes dust off my Saturn to play it, just to make sure it's still just as entertainingly bad as i remember, and so far, it has never let me down!

2 games I really think you should take a look at are Bomberman Land Touch and Dokapon Kingdom. Especially Dokapon. Bomberman Land Touch is one of the few good minigame collections on the DS, with a cute story and cast of characters tying everything together, and plenty of puzzle-solving and exploration on the overworld. The sequel's even better, although not published by Atlus. As for Dokapon Kingdom, it's basically Mario Party if it were mixed with Monopoly and an RPG. Up to 4 players gather together, spinning wheels to move around the board and fight enemies, with the goal being to get powerful enough to defeat bosses and aquire towns. You can also attack other players, and if you kill them, steal their items or cash. If you thought Mario Party could kill friendship, this game can murder them. It's one of the most fun party games I've ever played and I really hope it gets a port/sequel with online. Be warned that the CPUs are hella rigged though.

He getting that paper POGGERS

Ok but why is no one talking about how cool Last Dimension sounds? A turn based jrpg with 11 members, 5 are traitors chosen at random every playthrough!!! Kinda reminds me of the Danganronpa Distrust beta

Back in the days I imported Radiant Historia since an European release was uncertain (as I did with the Devil Survivor games) and I fell in love with it. Great story, a fantastic world, believable characters with strong motivations... I was still surprised when the price of the game immediately jumped to double the sales price since it was apparently sold out in the States pretty quickly.

one game im surprised you did not mention was the first atlus game I ever played, besides wacky racers on the NES - that being Tail Concerto for PS1. i grew up on ps1/ps2/n64/gamecube/orig xbox era 3D platformers and adventure games, and Tail Concerto remains one of my fav of that genre as well as one of my fav PS1 games. i vastly prefer the DS sequel tho, which atlus was not involved

I do love atlus i fell in love after playing tactics ogre and kartia on ps1 whent back to play ogre battle on snes. Not to mention personas and i think brigandine was a ps1 title from atlus but yes a lot of bangers came from this company I'm glad to see other games i had no idea that existed nice vid.

This will be a good watch

So you’re telling me that 3D Dot Game Heroes has more than funny Scott the Woz outro?

I love Lost Dimension! I'm on my 2nd play through on the Vita.

I'm a simple person, I see Radiant Historia on the thumbnail, I give a like

Here are some other games published by Atlus USA: - The Super Robot Wars OG Saga series - Class of Heroes - Rock of Ages (it got a third game released this year, not too obscure for this video, though) - Trackmania DS - Luminous Arc (too bad they stopped releasing the game outside Japan after the second game) - The Izuna series - Ontamarama - Dual Hearts - PS1 Guilty Gear - Robopon - Virtual Hydlide - Tsugunai: Atonement - Zeno Clash (Xbox 360 version)

I actually picked up Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology thanks to this video and ended up really enjoying it. The story, characters and voice acting are all really good, and so is the gameplay (one Guide-Dang It near the end aside). Thanks for this video, I might never have heard of the game otherwise.

I'll be sure to hunt down those gnarly RPGs. Though seriously that ending theme was badass. Makes me want a remake of personas 1+2 duology even more. Man those were better than the Neo personas.

Am I the only one that remembers Snowboard Kids 1&2? Those were the first games I ever played from Atlus!

Big shout out for Monster Kingdom: Jewel Summoner! I discovered that hidden gem randomly on psp and could not put it down. It's what Pokemon fans who want a bit more maturity in thematics should pick up!
