Well, it's very early in the year, and there are other big games coming out, but it's the best handheld game I've played. I know that seems like hyperbole, but I really just love it. So it will definitely be up there at least for me.


^ This. I've put about 17 hours into the game now and I have never enjoyed any other handheld game as much as this one. Mario Kart 7 online is the only thing even close for me in terms of pure fun.

Maybe I'm biased, though. When I was a kid my 2 favourite games were Shining Force 1 &2, and this has a very similiar feel except everything is improved, naturally, since it's been 2 decades since the first SF was released.

Damn, I'm so old =(



where have you been? lol. Why haven't you played GCN~Wii Versions? Those are the best (tied with this game imo). But FE awakening improves alot of stuff.


I missed out on a lot of Nintendo games in the past decade or so. Around 1999 I got really into PC gaming. I purchased most of the consoles since then, but really only invested a lot of time in Xbox(360) because PC gaming turned me into a multiplayer junkie. I only bought and played the really big console single player releases like Mario and Zelda. I also never owned a handheld until I grabbed my 3DS randomly one day last year. I was in Best Buy and they had a demo set up with MK 7. I played it for like 3 minutes and was hooked. 

At any rate, I'm glad I own a 3DS and really happy that I've finally gotten to experience FE =) I'll probably go back and play as many of the previous games in the series as I can once I'm sick of Awakening.
