My response was appropriate considering how irrational your rant was. If you really cared about peace, you wouldn't be insulting over something so inconsequential as people wanting a remake of a game they like. It's a needless and thoughtless invitation to discord; one which I accept only because it is in defense of many people.

Actually, there's hope. Check this out: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=944570&topic=46863524

I know Gamefaqs is generally a horrible cesspool of inbred, flesh-eating trolls, but Black Sigil is so niche and so obscure that its board is mostly populated by people who actually care about the game. I only lurk there so I don't know if any of these people are infamous liars, but if the information from this person is true, it's Q1 2009 for sure unless Graffiti screws them over at the last moment.

Sorry, but "peace" my ass. You call anyone who wants a GSC remake a loser and then give some wishy-washy reasoning about the series being a "dead end", whatever that means, and Game Freak just plain not caring? I have a strange feeling you're using "Game Freak" as a rather unusual personal pronoun for "I".

If it irks you so much that lots of people considered it the pinnacle of the Pokemon franchise and would gladly replay them again on a new handheld with updated features, graphics, and compatibility with other current-gen Pokemon games, that's your problem and nobody else's. Just keep your $35 if you're that against the idea and let Nintendo make those of us who aren't strangely embittered toward GSC happy if they ever wish to do so.

Augh, how could I forget to mention Flower, Sun, and Rain? I've been looking forward to this game forever.

Also, Black Sigil: Blade of the Exiled, Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds Stardust Accelerator: World Championship 2009 and Lux-Pain aren't on this list anywhere, but according to current info they should be out in February, February, and March respectively.

Thy next foe is...

...the irresistible impulse to pay the full $40 for this on day one...Square-Enix is a crafty beast, luring in buyers with the choicest screens from the game...

Fire 'n Ice. Why? I'm actually able to brag that I own a really rare NES game...just like I'm doing now.

Great Q1 for the DS. I'm already sold on Moon, Fire Emblem, and Avalon Code, and I'll probably add at least Pokemon Platinum, Suikoden Tierkreis, Henry Hatsworth, and/or My World, My Way to that list.

I'm especially glad about this because the Wii didn't fare as well. No Disaster or Fatal Frame IV means no Q1 waggling for me.

Also, nobody panic if you complete a survey and the site tells you that you've earned 0 points. I was about to blow a gasket after receiving points for Brawl but not for Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn until I went back to the "Earn Coins" tab where my rightful 50 coins had been added to my coin total. The site is just really buggy and doesn't show what it's supposed to in some places.

The site is a mess, randomly logging me out and only registering my surveys maybe once out of every three times I submit one for a single game. At least my registrations are eventually going through...not that my combined Wii/DS efforts over the past years are getting me anywhere close to the Game & Watch Collection, though =/

I found Fire 'n Ice at a flea market last year and played part of the way through it. On top of being my favorite Tecmo game by default (it's the only one I've ever played) it's actually really good.
