Developed by Matrix Software and published by Tecmo, Nostalgia arrived on the Nintendo DS in 2008 as a role-playing game.
It landed about 4 years into the DS's life. Other notable DS releases from 2008 include Pokémon Platinum, Professor Layton and the Curious Village and Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood.
Matrix Software also made Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light, Lost in Blue 2 and Avalon Code for the DS.
This is a solo experience: one player, no waiting on anyone else.
Pick it if…
- you want to get lost in a long quest
- you have time for an epic journey (20+ hours of adventure)
Maybe skip it if…
- you want instant action rather than menus, story and grinding
- you are looking for something to play with friends
- you only have a few minutes at a time
What playing Nostalgia is like
Role-playing games trade reflexes for strategy and story. You build a party, level up, manage equipment and travel across a large world, usually through menu-based battles.
Tip for newcomers: Retro RPGs can require some level grinding and rarely tell you exactly where to go next. Talk to every townsperson, save often and use a guide if you get stuck: there is no shame in it.
