Its a very hard choice. Flip a coin, that method will be better than thinking about it.

do you have a SO that you can game with? If so, Zack & Wiki is fantastic. Otherwise, if you want to game alone, go Radiant Dawn.

Both titles are on my shopping list, and I may end up making the same decision you're trying to make when I get paid next week.

I'd go with Zack and Wiki first. Number one reason is because it's a unique gameplay experience, whereas FE: RD is a sequel with very similar gameplay to its predecessor. Another reason is that 3rd parties need support more than Nintendo needs a fatter profit margin. :P

As your primary reason for not getting both initially is price, then I would go for Zack and Wiki now. It was released at a good price, so it's less likely to see a price drop in the near future. Sales of Radiant Dawn are slightly higher, so it will also be easier to pick up second hand at a discount price.

That said, it will probably take longer to get through Radiant Dawn, so it might be worth the extra expense if you need the game to keep you entertained longer.

Definitely Zack & Wiki !

Ok. You guys still haven't made easier for me to decide...but I may go with RD. In a few hours I'll go to Gamespot and make my purchase, and there's no telling which game I'll buy.
Oh, boy. I guess I'll ask for some last-minute opinions from the employees...oh, wait, they probably won't even know what Z&W is.

I'll post later what game I got.

Z&W!

Zack and Wiki needs the sales... so get it now and get Radiant Dawn later.

Zack and Wiki: Metacritic score is 87 and the game cost $39.

Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn: Metacritic score is 79 and game cost $49


It's just a question of what you get first... because you know you really need to get them both eventually... :)

Just because I
