@lestatdark, smg2 is such a great game. better than the 1st :)

I'm very eager to try it out. I loved SMG and it's my third favorite game this gen

Just out of curiousity what are your top 2 favorite games this gen?

Demon's Souls and Final Fantasy Dissidia. 

My top 5 would be : 

- Demon's Souls
- Final Fantasy Dissidia
- Super Mario RPG
- Lost Odyssey 
- Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin

That's a good list and it's balanced with a game from every platform.  I still need to get a Wii and Ds myself hopefully one day I can get on your level lol

I usually make my top lists with the best games from each console's gen. Unless some gen is heavily tilted towards one side, which fortunately hasn't happened this gen.

If anything, this has been one of the best overall generation of gaming so far. It's a shame that console jrpg's have had fewer representation, but games like Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon make up for quality what has been lacking in quantity

Yeah every console has multiple must have games this gen that are too good to ignore.  Those two Mistwalker games you listed are great.  I have always told myself that I am going to get a wii the day the Last Story or the new Zelda comes out whichever happens first.

I think Zelda Wii has the highest probability of coming out first, at least in the west. Either way, both are going to be amazing games

Yeah I agree on both accounts and I can't wait until e3 kicks off tomorrow.  Hopefully Microsoft will announce some new quality jrpgs that are coming.  They have surprised me this gen with the amount of jrpgs they have gotten.  It's the reason why I prefer the 360 slightly over my ps3 this gen so far.

I hope all three companies show off some jrpg's since most of the companies are talking about focusing on the west hopefully that means we won't have to wait until the tokyo game show anymore for jrpgs to get some attention.

Well, for me at least, this is going to be the best E3 of all time, mainly because S-E is going to show Lufia: Curse of the Sinistrals (remake of my favourite game of all time, Lufia 2), and Parasite Eve: 3rd Birthday (Continuation of the Parasite Eve series, with the first PE being my second favourite game of all time ). 

Not only are they showing both of them, DQIX and KH:BBS are going to be there as well. Not sure about FFVXIII, I think that's reserved for TGS. 

I hope that we get to see more of Last Story and Xenoblade as well too
