I recommend LBX: Little Battlers eXperience (and its 2 sequels)

[thanonyx thanonyx]

Let me just start by saying that this game should've been waaaaaaay more popular than it was as should the anime and manga on which it is based.

LBX: Little Battlers eXperience (known as Danball Senii Baku BOOST in Japan) is an action RPG for the 3DS where you can build your own tiny fighting robot and have it fight other tiny fighting robots. The robots are all customizable and have a variety of parts, weapons, items, to collect and special attacks to learn. It's an enhanced version of Danball Senki BOOST on the PSP which itself is an enhanced version of the original Danball Senki also on the PSP. It also got 2 sequels, each with their own anime, Danball Senki W for the Vita which was followed by an enhanced version, Danball Senki W Chou Custom, on the 3DS and Danball Senki Wars also on the 3DS.

I urge anyone who loves watching robots beat the crap out of each other to try it!

It really hurts my soul to see Danball Senki end up the way it did. If I was level5 back when the game was being developed I would have pushed it back and made sure it was a launch title for the Nintendo 3DS around the world. Also the Anime would come out the same time on youtube for everyone to enjoy. I think It would have been massive! and we would be playing Danball Senki on the Nintendo Switch and maybe the Switch 2!

My brother was a fan of the anime back in the days and bought the game for 3DS.
I've played it and it was a really good game! Apparently it was the upgraded edition of an already upgraded edition of the original game on PSP.
