I recently picked up a 3DS LL and i’ve already been playing some games on it and i’m having a blast so far, I’m just wondering if anyone could recommend me some short but charming games since those types of games are the ones i usually find myself enjoying the most.
The Regular Show platformer is quite nice IMO. It’s some basic platforming action, but if you like the show, you will like the game, too. Also, superb soundtrack made by Jake Kaufman (Virt).
I’ve beaten Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime on the DS a couple of times which I rarely do, it’s just a super cozy and cute game with a simple and fun gameplay loop. Short? I’m pretty sure it’s below 10 hours, possibly even shorter like 4-5. Charming? Come on DQ slimes are extra charming!
Ghost Trick is fantastic.
Also, Liberation Maiden was extremely short, but pretty good.
The Rub Rabbits and Feel the Magic XY/XX ooze charm, they’re great
Final Fantasy Theatrhythm is good for short bursts, it’s kind of an infinite games
Code of Princess is a fairly short Beat’em up / RPG hybrid. I don’t remember the full game length, but each stage was short and the game was somewhat short overall.
I’d recommend you the Animal Crossing games for both DS and 3DS.
Also I don’t know if it fits entirely in the charming area but check out Ace Attorney saga.
Also if you are a fan of Evangelion there is a game that looks quite simple but it is a big what if of Evangelion wholesome AF, I don’t recall its name right now.
Really Ace Attorney takes me forever but maybe I’m just retarded
Well sometimes it is not the most straightforward, but I’m sure you can manage :)
Otherwise no shame in relying on guides.
