Overview
Description

Slime Mori-mori Dragon Quest 3: Daikaizoku to Shippo-dan is an action-packed spinoff in the beloved Dragon Quest series, developed exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS. Players take on the role of Surarin, a courageous slime embarking on a nautical quest to retrieve his kingdom's prized Rainbow Orbs from a notorious crew of pirate tails. Blending charming fantasy elements with light role-playing and puzzle mechanics, the game offers a delightful comedic experience set on the high seas. Released by Square Enix in November 2011, it combines whimsical exploration with engaging single-player gameplay suited for fans of all ages looking for a unique handheld adventure.

The Denpa Men: They Came By Wave is a single‑player RPG that blends Pikmin‑style collection, Dragon Quest‑like dungeon crawling, and Pokémon‑inspired creature gathering. Using the Nintendo 3DS camera, players locate invisible Denma Men near radio waves, capture them, and build a diverse party. Each wave‑filled territory offers uniquely generated Denpa Men with distinct looks, personalities, and special abilities, encouraging strategic party composition as you delve into varied dungeons and solve light‑hearted puzzles.
