On The Shelves This Week 02.15

DQV and Fire Emblem are definitely on my want list for this week. Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II I’m tempted to take a look at as well. I’ll have to snap up the demo when I have a chance, and take it for a spin.

Retro Game Challenge rocks! I imported the japanese version last year (Game Center CX). I’m going to buy the US version to enjoy the game one more time (and to understand the dialogues).

Retro Game Challenge is awesome. The translation is perfect, too. I love it.

I agree…Retro Game Challenge is the best game I’ve purchased in a while.

RGC is great. I am almost finished with the Gaudia Quest challenges.

I picked up one of those new SFIV fighting pads too. Awesome controller. It has the dpad the 360 has needed from the start and makes all sorts of XBLA (and the Genesis/Namco collections) games a hell of a lot more playable.

I don’t know how Roogoo is on the DS, but it was excellent on XBLA/PC. I hope it turned out.

Three great handheld titles coming out in the same week. If only I had the cash.

Also, the new Fire Emblem game sucks. Even though it’s just a remake, you’d think they’d at least include the features from Fire Emblem 7, at bare minimum.

Also, the battle graphics suck.

I was looking forward to Retro Game Challenge (I’ve watched the first season of the show subtitled and loved it), but after a week neither of my two local shops has it. Looks like I’ll have to order it online…

@shadic Have you actually PLAYED the game? Cause I got the European version that came out a long time ago, and it definitely does not suck. Just because it’s not the exact same thing as the gba fire emblem games doesn’t make it bad.
