With a copy of Fire Emblem for £75. Only used it for a few minutes, but this thing is awesome. The D Pad and buttons are nice and squishy, akin to the orginal GBA, the screen is beautiful (though you do have to look at it closer), and you can play one handed with it. It's a worthy replacement to my late DS.

Good choice on the game. Was it FE or FE: The Sacred Stones? Both are excellent.

Just FE, though from first impressions I'll get the second one soon after. I might even post pics of it, it's that good.

Fire Emblem. Might give it a try if it wasn't for the fact that when your character dies, they're gone forever.

Is this such a bad feature?

Yan?

Eyes breaking down right now.

About the character losing thing, not sure as I haven't lost one yet. I can see how, after a few hours of play losing one of your allies can be bad though.

Still think they should have added an MP3 player, even if it only had 128mb.

Would have sold twice as many.

Still cute though...

I think it's a great feature. It's what makes it that much harder than Advance Wars. In AW, you have, essentially, unlimited resources. If a characted dies in FE, I always restart the map- no question. I don't want to be left 20 hours into the game with hardly any members left. You end up genuinely caring for the characters... it's cool (if a little sad, I guess).

Great games. :)

Never owned a Fire Emblem game.

A part of me wants the Gamecube version.

Would have claimed it if SR sold it.
