Niche. It's never sold that well. It's normal for you to not know it had existed because it was released internationally on 2003. The GBA games, I mean.

 agree...

@topic

one day purchase, anyone now when it hits PAL?

As far as America goes, it's niche, no clue about Japan.

It's like people who like the romance of the three kingdoms series in the US.  A small niche market but a fiercely loyal one.

Fire Emblem games are always good games, for SRPG fans... usually kinda tough too though the newer ones have gotten easier.

It used to be the kind of game where you could could have a fully powered charcter, miscount an enemies movement by one curse because your character died and be forced to restart. 

I recall PoR selling more in the US than Japan.

I believe Path of Radiance sold around 200k in the U.S. and in Japan. Which is very good for a stategy RPG these days.

I'm not picking this up....right away, at least. I still haven't beaten Path of Radiance. Though once I do, I'll probably be craving more FE.

I own and finished all 3 FE's released in the US, which are really fantastic games. I'll get this one for sure if I have the cash this Christmas. If I don't have enough then, I'll get it in January for sure. :)

 Unfortunately true. The first one was too easy though; I hope they up the stakes. And I'd really like some visual improvement and new controls. Anyway, bound to be breathtaking.
