I wanted to know is there any games coming out for the NDS still worth checking out or is it just complete shovelware now? And yes I know about the Pokemon crossover but I have no interest in it whatsoever.

Never showed much interest in that either. For me personally it's a series hard to get into.

MegaTen generally or just Devil Survivor? I remember being a bit lost when I started playing the MegaTen games but I stuck with it and grew to really enjoy the series. I would regard it as my favourite JRPG series.
MegaTen in general like there is so many games out from what I can see and I have no idea where to start. They even had that free2play mmo which was pretty decent
Shin Megami Tensei series aren't confusing at all, well, if you play the original SMT games, then yeah, they are a bit confusing... As for games themselves, They work based on series, Devil Survivor, Persona, Devil Summoner, Digital Devil Saga and a few others, there's also Devil Children that was released for the GBA (kinda like pokemon but doesn't really have the SMT feeling to it)...
The one thing all SMT games have in common is the demons and a somewhat dark world or dark events, but aside from that, none of the series should confuse you.
Also, Megaten as per se, is one of the main rpg series in Japan, so if you want, you can always compare it to the Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Pokemon games, if you think they have too many games.
See I thought like the games had like an on going story or whatever where you start off with 1 game then play the games that continue the story and as you go through that main line they have like the side story games. Like I thought the way the games worked was kinda like Kingdom Hearts. You have your main storyline then you have the side stories.
Well, it doesnt work like that, each series has it's story line.
Persona games for example follow a story, I played all of them and well, you don't really need to, but it helps you to understand some of the events that happen in the next games (that and some cameo characters that sometimes show up).
Devil Summoner does follow a story with the same main char, so you're better off playing the first one beforehand.
Digital Devil Saga also follows a story so you must play the first in order to understand the second (DDS is a friggin awesome game which leaves you hanging with some many questions once you finish it, the sequel answers those questions).
Devil Survivor, I thought it was just a one off game, but the game prolly sold well and they released a sequel, dunno if it'll have connections with the previous game, but the main char is dif, so you don't need to play the first one in order to understand the second.
The main series tho, you can also play it in any order, but it's recommended to start with the first, seeing as you get a lot of explaning as to what is happening in the game.

yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one

Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -

@The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
