    Prinny Presents NIS Classics Volume 3 contains 2 easygoing adventures; each with an undeniable feminine touch. Even though they both lack challenge, playing these delightful SRPGs still makes for a great change of pace from the current gaming landscape.

    While the two games featured in this collection might feel a bit dated at times—mostly Rhapsody—there’s no denying that Prinny Presents NIS Classics Volume 3 is a wonderful and entertaining look back at where NIS’s journey into the world of SRPGs all began. Given that NIS is running through their old stockpile rather quickly I’m not really sure where they’ll go with Prinny Presents 4 (if there is one). Maybe we’ll get a new localization? Who knows. Either way, I’m looking forward to it.

    Many of my complaints from the previous two collections apply here. I would have liked to have seen more effort go into the game’s history – give us scanned copies of the manuals or digital art books or something to make it feel more than a launcher for two games picked at random out of the back catalogue. Nonetheless, these are two deeply nostalgic and important artefacts from a genre, and La Pucelle, in particular, is a pioneering title that every genre fan should play.

    While the option to buy them both separately like on PC would've been good, Prinny Presents NIS Classics Volume 3: La Pucelle: Ragnarok / Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure is a very good package, after the most recent Switch patch, offering the best way to experience games I never played before. Quality of life features and bonus content would've definitely made it a better collection though.

    Another weird and interesting Tactical JRPG collection for Switch of two NIS classic games, being La Pucelle: Ragnarok the finest one.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. I've now owned all three versions of Rhapsody - PS1, DS, and Switch. It's such a cute game, and I always enjoy playing through it. There are a few things I do wish they had added--having a minimap would be nice--but I'm glad they restored the tactical RPG style of battle that was removed in the DS port. The lyrics in most of the songs aren't great, but in a weird way they fit the game. There's a good number of recruitable puppets, but not an overwhelming number. There were a few times when I couldn't remember what to do, but the world is small enough that just going back to all the towns usually helped.

    I haven't played La Pucelle yet, but I'm looking forward to doing so. Overall, Rhapsody could have done with a few quality of life improvements, but it's still a fun game that's great for new RPG players or those who enjoy unique, funny games.    … Full Review »

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. Classic JRPG fans are eating well right now. However, these are both relatively niche titles, and I don’t think that this is quite the level of TLC that they deserve in order to bring them into the modern gaming zeitgeist.

    NIS America can only convince in places with the new "Prinny Presents NIS Classics Vol. 3" on the Nintendo Switch. Although the role-playingNIS America can only convince in places with the new "Prinny Presents NIS Classics Vol. 3" on the Nintendo Switch. Although the role-playing games are a lot of fun on one side, they are simply not always great due to the technology and processes. Especially the games themselves have a few weaknesses and thus also drive a few comical and annoying moments on the game board. The technology is decent, but could be better. At least the additional content has turned out well. So we can't completely recommend the "Prinny Presents NIS Classics Vol. 3" and hope for a better edition in the future.… Full Review »
