10 Nintendo DS JRPGs Still Trapped on Original Hardware

Many fantastic Japanese role-playing games (JRPGs) are stuck on the Nintendo DS because of its unique, closed system. Bringing them to modern consoles would be expensive – it would either require complex emulation to recreate the DS’s dual screens, or a complete remake of the game. Sadly, not all publishers are willing to invest that kind of money. Even some games that made it to the 3DS faced the same problem when that console was discontinued. The DS really holds onto its games tightly, making it difficult for them to be enjoyed on newer systems.
