Not a post all through June? What is wrong with me?
I have been grabbed hold of by Fire Emblem, and it's not letting me go. I was able to find the two GBA games that were released in America in my store, so I got used to the basics of the games (I'd never played a FE game before) and am currently playing both at the same time. Er, on and off. Eliwood's game seems a lot harder than Eph's and Eir's game. I wonder if it is because you can't choose a difficulty level. I'm not sure.
Other than playing those two, I added a third FE game into the mix when I started up Ike's game for the GC. I like it a lot, but I'm just an Ike fan, so...
I can't say much about any of the games, since I'm not that far into them. The battles are tedious and the rewards are few. The main thing I hate about the FE games is that, if a party member dies, they die permenantly. While I knew about this rule before I played the games, it still bothers me. I'm used to rpgs (like Disgaea) where you can revive your members even if they lose all their HP. So I wind up resetting and doing a lot of my battles over, which means I can be stuck on a chapter for over two hours. Ugh.
There are other games that use this rule, right? I probably should never play them! It's hard enough with FE.
Releases! Gamestop is now letting you preorder Disgaea 3: Abscence of Justice. Hooray! It's about time. The release date is... I'm not sure. I've heard it's coming out in August, and then in September. So, I'd say... somewhere around there.
I haven't bought a PS3 yet. So I'll probably hold off on D3 until I have one. I want to buy the new 80 gig. But those are hard to find now, and I don't have the money for it anyway.
The DS port of Disgaea is also coming out in the States soon. September, perhaps? I still think Disgaea on the DS is ridiculous. I won't be picking it up, especially since I have it on the PSP already, and D3 is coming.
My fall DS game will be Marth's FE remake, coming out in August in Japan. I am so excited for this, and plan on preordering it within the next couple of weeks. Nintendo finally released some box art for this game... It's odd. Nintendo is being very stingy with their information on this game. I've looked all over NicoVideo for gameplay videos, and even the official site doesn't have a trailer. Is this bad, especially with the release date so close? It's sure frustrating.

Love em, but Nintendo's been really really really bad lately. I'm not sure if it's just because they're focusing all their resources on producing the Wii and the bigger games...
But they're definitely acting distracted, or preoccupied.
I wouldn't be too nervous about the remake (though I don't like remakes because they tend to only cater to what the fans like, instead of trying to recreate the original feel of the game, only updated)...
Unless, of course, you start to hear bad things about it. But, just because Nintendo hasn't said much doesn't necessarily mean a bad game is coming...
In fact, it could end well, because you don't have any expectations on the game based on what Nin says...
