Can someone simply explain what the Overclocked series does that the rest of series doesn't? What sets it apart from the pack?

Why does everyone think I'm going to get in trouble?

The 3DS versions of the DeSu series has full voice acting, more demons and additional story days.

It's an isometric turn-based strategy game where you buy demons from eBay.

Edit: So long as we're talking about Devil Survivor, how does the second one compare to the first? I gave up on the first one halfway through because of the glut of escort missions even though I really enjoyed the core gameplay.

The Devil Survivor games are SRPGs rather than dungeon crawlers like the mainline SMT games.

"Overclocked" is just a subtitle they gave the first game when they ported it to 3DS; it has some extra content but it's not a new game or anything.

There are barely any escort missions. They let you have your pick of most of the characters throughout the week, and I found the gameplay a lot more fun than the first. It does tend more towards the easy side though.

Agatsuma published Umihara Kawase but they didn't develop those games or own the IP, the original series artist owns the IP and the recent games/ports came from his own Studio Saizensen.

Drill Dozer is one of the first GBA games I can recall to hit the Wii U VC where it makes more sense there than to have had GBA VC on 3DS, thanks to the rumble.

I think that sentence reads okay.

I wonder if WarioWare: Twisted has a chance in hell of coming out.

People are going to speculate regardless because EarthBound Beginnings came out of nowhere, but that only happened because Nintendo had been sitting on a finished unreleased version for 20-odd years. It's not entirely impossible though.

That's the problem when the biggest third-party VC publisher (Capcom) put out almost nothing but MM games on GBA.

You'll be glad to know there's only 5? MM games for DS.
