Came to the comments to say this. Love that series. Wish they hadn't moved to that follow-up series Star Force. Wasn't as good, imo.

Wasn’t as good, imo.

The first one was maybe weird because it was still setting itself up. The second one was indeed a filler and the worst of the series (but nowhere near MMBN4-level bad). The third one on the other hand is easily a masterpiece beating MMBN6.

Jeez... I want to play them, but I am foreseeing hundreds of hours in those games lol... Also I didn't know there was a sixth game for GBA.

they're great for short bursts of gameplay, each dungeon takes like an hour on average. if it helps your decision, the first game is the shortest at 10-25 hrs but is also the hardest. the hd collection has an easy mode that lets you kill most weak enemies in a few shots. the DS port of 1 is the definitive version & has maps to make the dungeons easier (there's an English patch)
