Atlus is mostly known in the West as the publishers of SMT and Persona, but Atlus USA published a lot of obscure games in North America during their early days, and in this video I look at even more of them. Be sure to check out my last two videos on obscure Atlus games as well!

A sponsor for today, huh? Nyarly moving straight bricks these days god damn
You using the Tanaka’s Amazing Commodities theme for the ad block was fucking hilarious and I really appreciate that touch.
Ivan animated did a video on cubavor an old atlus game
Can you try putting timeskips in the description so people can go straight to the games? Good videos as always.
Odin sphere and I'll leave it at that
2:45 The game where Scott The Woz’s theme originated from.
Hey scott, all here!
and DAMMIT! I own Sonic Jam! It’s a pretty rare game but I don’t want to be known as the guy who owns Sonic Jam when I’m dead.
What would be nyarly's equivalent of madden 08?
Hey all Scott here
Now I need the game
As a fan of lost dimension, there's one very important part that makes it one of my favorite games.
Yes, there's traitors. Yes, they are randomized.
But, unlike other games with this kind of detail, YOU CAN GET IT WRONG.
The game will not auto-end if you vote out the wrong person. You'll even get dialogue based on if you're right or not.
And well, naturally having traitors may change a thing or two, but the fact the game does not hold your hand and make you pick out the traitor. You can totally get yourself into some deep shit.
And that's awesome.
So... Danganronpa the SRPG with consequences for failure other than instant death?
@@16BitGamerCat you need to finish game least twice to get true ending.
@@Anacone really? Interesting... might have to check it out. Reminds me of 999.
If you don't find a traitor, he/she'll join the final boss
@@B0K0691 There is a forced game over if you killed off only Innocents though, just before the final boss, your entire team betrays, gangs up on and kills the MC. Literally the game lets you get the whole way up to the finale, only to merc you just before the final boss. So long as you have one ally you get to go Innocents vs Traitors.

@@Roza_ Ayyy Roza 😏😏
My God. I never realized the story writer for Devil Survivor also wrote Radiant Histora. So thats why I love both stories! Not to mention the music in both games just slaps hard!
Devil survivor OST is underrated
I mean, the Radiant Historia OST was made by the awesome Yoko Shimomura. You may have guessed that already by the Kingdom Hearts feel it has.
9:47 Radiant Historia! One of my favourite JRPGs, the music alone is worth playing, especially when the sad theme (Where the Wind and Feathers Return) starts playing.
After I finish smt4 I'm going to finish up perfect chronology. I think I'm at least in the latter half of the game. I'm honestly surprised it doesn't have huge sales tied to it. It's basically better Chrono trigger in various ways.
Same. Radiant Historia was the only game to ever make me cry.
@@ltb1345 sounds like it will be another of the umpteenth games to do so for me. Lol
Radiant Historia is incredible. I remember playing the DS one and loving it but never actually finishing it. I might pick it up again
yeah ili never finished it either. it's really long and the combat started to feel really repetitive and boring after a while, and the running back and forth through all the different times was really cool, it began to feel kinda tedious after a while. i really would like to finish it just for the story though, the story never got boring.
@@Jack_80 I did finish it back in the day. It was a really great game I spent a little over 77 hours upon finishing the game and i almost 100% the game in one go too. Left the game afterwards since all i had left to do was kill the secret boss that's stronger than the final boss on the main campaign. The story itself is very good. The final chapter gets rather hectic near the end as its basically a mad dash though various old locations to defeat every boss you've faced so far along your journey until you get to the final boss.
I am playing Perfect Chronology for the 3ds, sadly do not have the time as I used when I was a student, the good thing about this remake is that it has a friendly mode, so you can avoid all the combats excepts the story related.
@@eas7533 One thing I dislike with perfect chronology is what they did to Eruca's design.
@@sirlezard670 agreed. Her new design made her feel less stoic, I couldn't take her as serious so I went and bought the older portraits DLC. I wish we could have had the ability to change her sprite though
Having Tanaka's Amazing Comodities play during the sponsor break is just wonderful.
Now that I think of it the designs of 3d dot game hero’s remind me of the Mitsuo boss fight from persona 4
Fun fact: mitsuo is actually a reference to 3d Dot game hero
@@boomatraix2465 Yeah I already found it odd that it wasn't mentioned in the video.
Radiant Historia has been and will be one of my favorite Atlus RPGs of all time. I love the story, the characters and the music. I'm so glad I got a chance to play it. This game will always hold a place in my memories. I also love Eterian Odyssey too.
Radiant Historia is one of my favorite games of all time, I'm glad it appeared on here! Though, I'm surprised that Hexyz Force hasn't appeared anywhere on these lists anywhere.
Hexyz is so good. It was the first jrpg that I finished on the psp.
Great choice of music for the sponsorship portion.
EDIT: Also, this video has the most games I've heard of. 3D Dot Game Hero is always brought up in videos on "zelda clones" as doing it right, YuoTuber BigKlingy did an LP of Lost Dimension a few years back, and Radiant Historia has been on my radar to get for some time now.
Great choice of Persona 5 pictures. Those were pretty much on point.
3d Dot game heroes was exposed to me by scott the woz' outro song. and boy is that game a good one, but I didn't know it was made by atlus. I assumed it was an indie company.
Thats pretty “nyarly” bro
Nice joke
Starve.
Boo funny though
Just started up TWEWY for the first time and that quote made me smile. ÷]
Do my eyes deceive me? A Radiant Historia mention? Thank you my man :D
3-D Dot Game Heroes in the thumbnail
*crushes beer* **YEAH**
Did not take you as a Gex fan.
Thank you for covering Lost Dimension! It is such an underrated gem 😌
8:09 i like how the term “firebend” and the other bending styles from avatar have become so commonplace that when it’s used for things completely unrelated to avatar, everyone automatically knows what it is
Ah yes. Cultural assimilation is nearly complete.
@@craiganderson7986 You mean nyarly complete?
Atlus is one of those things where you never realize it until you either start digging or stumble into it, but you find out that they've had a hand in an absurdly wide swath of media, and by extension culture at large. It's like 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon, the Ryu Number system, or just finding out how many fandoms are in part offshoots of Super Best Friends.
Radiant Historia is simply incredible, a must play ds jrpg imo.
HE DID IT
I must be some kind of weirdo since I've heard of all of these and have all but one.
It should noted that, with Lost Dimension, playing an NG+ with the clear data from your first playthrough will guarantee the party members who weren't a traitor the first time _will_ be the second. This is how you can do all of the characters quests and get the true ending.
I love the background music during the sponsor segment, nice touch!
Nyarly my dude, thank you for existing and making this video, I started playing Lost Dimension like three days back and I'm obsessed
my favorite thing about these vids is that you don’t just list the games off, you actually get copies and play them. really great work
WOOOW you finally mentioned Radiant Historia! I have the the collector’s edition of the rerelease
Never played the original Radiant Historia but do have the remake that I need to get around to playing
I just gotta say incase someone needed this, no matter how hard things get just know you can push through. You got this and Godspeed my friend.
Thank you. I did need this
@@sirsmellybottom7480 your welcome
Haha , I get it...
Danke, mein Freund.
thank you
7:02 The way the sprites move feels oddly satisfying to me.
Yggdra Union is another forgotten game, which was published by Atlus in the US, and was released on the GBA and PSP.
Nobody really talks about it much, but it's a great and fun game.
Yes, Lost Dimension! Thank you for highlighting it, it’s probably my favorite Atlus published game. I’m going to speedrun the game soon in an effort to try and get the game a little bit more attention. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quick game to play
I remember picking up 3D Dot Game Heroes on my PS3 that I only have for P3FES, and seeing that little Atlus logo is so charming :)
Funny enough I found Lost Dimension in the Bargain bin at a local department store chain earlier this year.
Certainly not the greatest game I ever played but a lot of fun and I did end up playing it twice for the true ending
Forgot Radiant Historia was from Atlus, I already have it and played it.
When I was a kid, I saw a few clips of Jewel Summoner but forgot the name.
It was on the tip of my tounge for years. It haunted me on occasion.
Thanks for showing it here.
I just want to also add that radiant historia perfect chronology has exceptional voice acting. People gripe about the new portraits but I couldn't decide whether I like the older or new ones better and the old ones are only like $2 as DLC
Random but I prefer the old Atlus logo over the current one... it’s basically the same but the new one looks off to me
I have Radiant Historia for the 3ds. I absolutely recommend getting it.
radiant historia is fantastic! cannot recommend it enough.
Lost Dimensions is such an amazing game, one of my favorites of all time! And that opening song slaps!
Normally I wouldn’t say this, but congrats on your first sponsor!!
I love how the sponsor ad has tanaka's music playing in the background.
I need to find a copy of Radiant Historia 3DS asap, damn
Hey nyarly, recently gotten into your channel and have been binging your videos. If you ever decide to do another of these, I recommend you check out Stella glow. Been one of my favorite rugs since it came out and would love to see it spread to more people
You finally mentioned Radiant Historia! This is the game that introduced me to Atlas.
Radiant Historia is one of my favorite games ever. What especially stood out to me was how charming the major characters were. Also the soundtrack is composed by YOKO SHIMOMURA.
Thank you for reminding me about Lost Dimension. I remember seeing the game in stores a few times and mentally checking it on my list to check out again, but my memory is trash. I'm glad I can finally get it.
Nyarly talks about 3D dot game heroes
*insert obvious Scott The Woz joke here*
I don't know what you're talking
@@BitchChill he’s a really funny content creator I highly recommend. The joke I made is that he uses one of the game’s songs (th-cam.com/video/2RKnfOAI1A0/w-d-xo.html) as an outro for his videos
Hey all!
Scott here.
damn Lost Dimension looks right up my alley. hopefully it will go on sale around christmas cause that is my kind of game. always love these vids.
It's amazing how you got through three of these videos without talking about Battle B-Daman, or the sequel, Fire Sprits.
Don't worry, as a B-Daman fan, I'm used to it.
This upload schedule is epic
I can't wait until you talk about Folklore. I have fond memories of me and my sister playing through the chapters back to back.
Lol that game was legit beautiful. I've only played the demo back in the day but dang if it came out and gets a re release. Oh lordy.
Nyarly, I don't remember if you talked about Stella Glow on the 3DS in one of your Obscure ATLUS Games videos, but I'm playing it right now and it is a very underrated gem from the defunct Imageepoch. Story and characters may both be clichéd, but it's well written and voice casted IMO, and the battle system is just pure TRPG fun, though not as deep as say Final Fantasy Tactics or Fire Emblem. Definitely worth buying and playing if anyone hasn't gotten the chance yet.
Also, shoutouts to Radiant Historia and 3D Dot Game Heroes for being mentioned in this video!
Great job, man!
There are a few more games you forgot. Two of them are Double Dragon Advance and River City Ransom EX, Game Boy Advance remakes of the original NES titles everyone loves. They were published by Atlus USA in North America, and developed by Millon (Which owned all of Technos' IPs at the time). I remember reading a lot about them on internet back then, but people forgot them. You should really try these two. Besides that, you did a great video as usual!
I’m still waiting for you to talk about Virtual Hydlide, the greatest game Atlus has ever published!
Not only have I played the first two games on your list, their stocked at my local library.
I bought Lost Dimension based on your rec in this video and its been pretty good. Lived up to your word here, would recommend to anyone looking for a light S-RPG. Hope to see you cover Dokapon Kingdom on the next one of these
I do love atlus i fell in love after playing tactics ogre and kartia on ps1 whent back to play ogre battle on snes. Not to mention personas and i think brigandine was a ps1 title from atlus but yes a lot of bangers came from this company I'm glad to see other games i had no idea that existed nice vid.
8:27 Damn, unlocking quests when you get them high enough? The only thing that unlocks when you get me high enough is your pantry.
I actually picked up Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology thanks to this video and ended up really enjoying it. The story, characters and voice acting are all really good, and so is the gameplay (one Guide-Dang It near the end aside). Thanks for this video, I might never have heard of the game otherwise.
2:42 hey all nyarly here
Wow, Jewel Summoner seems right up my alley. To be honest, if I were to judge the game on the title itself, I would have likely thought it was a bejeweled clone and just ignored it.
We need more nyarly
Gonna take this opportunity to once again recommend Master of the Monster Lair if you ever do another one of these! Of the games Atlus has published over the years I definitely consider it to be a hidden gem on the DS.
Funny story I actually have the box for Perfect Chronology still for the sole purpose of having it autographed one day because the dub case is super solid
Yo, 3DS peeps? Go get Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology.
Knowing how Atlus likes to do things, it's probably on sale for half off around holidays and the like, as well as the MegaTen and Etrian Odyssey games. Seriously, I don't even think I'm halfway through yet and it's so good. Moreover, RH is the kind of game that I really wish had a bigger community/following; I mean, it's a story based entirely around time travel, potential futures, and "what-if" events, with an interesting plot and a strong cast of characters to boot!
Anyways, go treat yourselves to a good Atlus JRPG on the 3DS, especially if it's on sale.
Dragon's Crown is one of my favourites. I bought it again a few days ago and I already have almost 40 hours played.
Etrian oddesy is still pretty good
Second favorite behind main line smt
@@Charagodslayer666 what’s your opinion on pQ?
@@zachb4148 personally I love it. I can see where some wouldn't, especially people who only know perosna and not EO. But it was super fun for me dispit the fact that the game didn't do the perosna cast justice. Also same opinion for Q2. like Etrian odyssey more but Q is a fun game
@@Charagodslayer666 I have a similar opinion, I do enjoy it and I liked seeing the characters together. I never finished pQ but I beat pq2 and I enjoyed that a lot. I really like seeing p4 and p3 cast interact it’s all just fun stuff
@@zachb4148 yes. Really the way the characters are portrade doesn't bother me all that much, but that's a personal opinion. The interaction of the different casts was fun to watch. And the party buliding is fun too.
Great video again love your content and question who was the saddest betreyal you faced in lost dimension. (Mine was marco since I spent a lot of time with him and his character arc was good)
Your intro is the best thing i’ve ever seen.
9:48 I remember playing the demo of this & I absolutely loved it.
I think another obscure-ish game published by Atlus is Stella glow
Great video as always. I've personally heard of most of these games on the list, but it's fun hearing about them. I'll definitely check out Lost Dimension next time it's on sale.
I'm not sure how obscure this is, but If you can try and look into the Super Robot Taisen Original Generation GBA games translated by Atlus. Turn Based Strategy games featuring giant robots and a very intriguing plot especially for folk who just expect giant robots fighting for no reason.
It's actually part of a larger crossover series, but the Original Generation games don't involve crossover elements. The GBA Original Generation games are the only ones Atlus translated and we wouldn't get any more official English translations of the games until many many years later. I will be honest the games may seem a bit janky animation and gameplay wise, but they somewhat improve as the games go on. Especially between Original Generation 1 and 2 difference is night and day.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and have a nice day.
So you’re telling me that 3D Dot Game Heroes has more than funny Scott the Woz outro?
This will be a good watch
He getting that paper POGGERS
Definitely going to check these out!
I still have a physical copy of Lost Dimension for the VITA, I even got the platinum trophy, really good game.
I'm playing Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology, amazing game.
Dang. I didn't realize how many Atlus games I've played before looking at these videos. Radiant Historia, Etrian Odyssey, Tactics Ogre, Luminous Arc, Yggdra Union...
Thank you HCBailly for introducing me to Radiant Historia
3D Dot Game Héroes strongly reminds me of the Mitsuo fight from P4.
Totally
Lost Dimension was fun. I believe if you build a strong bond with a traitor, they let out a dramatic death cry when they get offed. Nice little touch.(if I'm remembering right)
God I love Lost Dimension, it was such a really cool game. I managed to secure myself a copy a while back after I borrowed it from the library.
A lot of the powers and characters were awesome. Plus the traitor system was really fun to use.
Still gotta try and get all the trophies someday.
I was waiting for breakout to play when talking about 3d dot game heroes
Back in the days I imported Radiant Historia since an European release was uncertain (as I did with the Devil Survivor games) and I fell in love with it. Great story, a fantastic world, believable characters with strong motivations... I was still surprised when the price of the game immediately jumped to double the sales price since it was apparently sold out in the States pretty quickly.
Using a persona ost while advertising for another company isn't a very smart move Mr. Nyarly
Why's that?
Copyright reasons?
jewel summoner and radiant historia. man the amount of grinding I did for those games was ungodly but it was still a fun experience
Cool thing about lost dimension is that the final social talk will be slightly different if the character you max is the traitor for that chapter and then they have a different speech when being executed.
If a part 4 ever happens, talk about contact on the DS, clunky little action rpg with a pretty good story and interesting concepts, also it has a great soundtrack
dude, 3d dot hero was my jam back in the day, it was super fun
I'll be sure to hunt down those gnarly RPGs. Though seriously that ending theme was badass. Makes me want a remake of personas 1+2 duology even more. Man those were better than the Neo personas.
Radiant Historia, I should really play this one sometime (I have Perfect Chronology on hand).
I really want a Folklore video, I remember being a kid and wanting a ps3 so bad because of this game
Jewel Summoner...... i know it existed but never caught my attention, but if Nyarly recommends it, i will try it
didnt know radiant historia was an atlus game. played the hell out of it back in the day
Nyarly what are you thoughts about the western release of persona 5 scramble (aka strikers)
**Atlus makes a non SMT game**
Also Atlus: let's never speak of this game ever again.
Jewel Summoner has the same energy as Shouzou Kaga's Tear Ring and Berwick Saga
An actually pretty soulful game game that Atlus published is Contact. Check out the OST, if anything. It's actually a grasshopper manufacture game.
I appreciate you talking about these games. Lost dimension is awesome, and I'm the only person I know who has it still lol
Thanks for reminding me that Lost Dimension exists. Its been sitting in my Steam library forever and its a fun 'tactical' game.
Damnit. My favorite party member was turned out to be the first traitor...
