I wasn't expecting it to come out so soon. Now I feel like getting the launch 3DS instead of waiting for a new version. Time to save up some cash ;_; Releasing Summer 2011
I want to thank Atlus Faithful for keeping me up with Atlus news. So what you want with this releases? I wonder who will be doing the voice and is there enough space for the Japanese recording because I want to hear Asumi Kana voicing Midori Komaki :D

I guess this kind of milking funds their original products. Whatever. Let rubes by the same game 3 times over, that's fine. As long as it leads to something fun and new later on. Considering the "graphics" in the last game were mostly the concept art shunken down into sprites, I imagine the "new" visuals are those same sprites with good Strange Journey style animation on them. Atlus, masters of recycling.

Nope. It means you get to see the games interface in exciting 3D!!!!!!

I agree, but there have been worse ports out there. At least they're adding story stuff to it

I already bought Devil Survivor so I will most likely not be buying this! It's too soon anyway and it lacks any significant new content that makes it worth buying again.
...So, this totally comes with a bunch of new demons, right?

There's 150, as opposed to the original game's 130.
I probably won't, though. I'm still pissed at GameSpot, IGN, and WorthPlaying (have they ever played Fire Emblem? Langrisser? Bahamut Lagoon? ANYTHING!?).

I haven't taken Gamespot's reviews seriously since Lark Anderson reamed Radiant Dawn in his review that read as though he never even finished the game.
Seriously, I'll never understand your insane hatred of Devil Survivor. I never experienced the issues you had with it.

@Hailinel: Why are they not working on something new for the system that will make it stand out? There's so many talented people working on these projects it seems weird that they're trapped rebooting old games for new systems instead of experimenting with new worlds, stories and characters.

You mean aside from a completely new Kid Icarus game and Steel Diver, which will both be available within months of the launch?

it also takes significantly less time, money and people to reboot ocarina of time (or devil survivor) than to make an entirely new zelda game

Devil Survivor is better then every game in those series(lol "series" when we're talking about Bahamut Lagoon).
Especially Bahamut Lagoon. you are INSANE, good sir.
Now Fire Emblem? I might back you up there, with exception of 1,2,6 and 8 , I think you could make a serious case for every one of them being better then DS. @Hailinel said:

That's a pretty weak line-up to be honest.
On the other hand, there isn't a single console or handheld that had a good first quarter. Even the PS2(the greatest console ever made) had a terrible first year.

@Hailinel: Kid Icarus isn't new and I don't want to play a submarine game XD. There's no day one game which makes me think oh hell I need one of those. There are just ports and nostalgia boosters coming to it. I'm not complaining because all the fans will lap them up and make Nintendo a lot of money but I just think that innovation should be oozing from the whole game instead of just the game mechanics.

@X19: What do you mean Kid Icarus isn't new? Uprising plays absolutely nothing like the old games, and the last time that there was a Kid Icarus game was on the Game Boy in 1990. There are people that were born, grew up, and graduated high school since the last time a Kid Icarus game was released.
Also gotta love how he called the game out for not having multiplayer, even though Fire Emblem has proven that it's not really big on multiplayer. (I never touched Shadow Dragon's multiplayer. Sad, I know.) As for Devil Survivor. keep in mind that it was the first terrible strategy RPG I've ever played. Before that, I only knew Fire Emblem and Ogre Battle and Shining Force and Warsong and other such games; Devil Survivor showed me that yes, there are very bad strategy RPGs out there.
Bahamut Lagoon rocks. What the hell are you talking about? When I first heard of Devil Survivor, I thought it was essentially going to be a DS version of Bahamut Lagoon. Unfortunately, it was nowhere near as awesome. And isn't Warsong basically Fire Emblem on a massive scale? The first game even steals the plot of the first Fire emblem, so it's kinda confusing that you hate it while liking Shadow Dragon and Monshou no Nazo.
I'd say that it looks like Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, but so did Devil Survivor. I'll just pass, for now, since I still have to finish a bunch of Humble Indie Bundle games, some Christmas games, Lufia, and The Granstream Saga. Also, Dragon Quest VI's coming up, and I plan on getting Kingdom Hearts re:coded with it.

Dude, its terrible. Unless the game significantly opens up after the 5 or so hours I played it, I can't imagine the combat system being anything but fairly unremarkable, slow as hell schlock.
And isn't Warsong basically Fire Emblem on a massive scale?
Sounds good on paper.
Too bad any form of actually making strategies and map design, the things that make FE games stand out, also get lost in that increased scope. What you're left with is a game that does neither number-crunching like most SRPG or brainteasing like Fire Emblem.
The first game even steals the plot of the first Fire emblem, so it's kinda confusing that you hate it while liking Shadow Dragon and Monshou no Nazo.
I said FE1, didn't I? You're probably right about 3, though. I never bothered playing it.

..........*sigh*
