Tales of Phantasia GBA set for a US release March 6th

The subject line says it all.

For anyone who doesn't know, the Super Famicom version of this game was the first in the series, and unlike other games in it it's storyline is believed to be directly related to Tales of Symphonia (which would be a prequel taking place 4000 years before ( Read more... )

Hooray, gametime!

I used to think that the Game Boy had gotten more oriented to really young kids, but when I first bought my GBA last year I found I was wrong. Since then, I've collected a bunch of classic or newly classic games like Fire Emblem (love it!), Gauntlet/Rampart, Link games, and even some old NES or arcade titles that were ported to the Gameboy Color. I have Dragon Warrior I - III and Ghosts and Goblins! This is as closest I've gotten to the classic NES 8-bit feel.

Very fun stuff. What perspective will Tales of Phantasia be played from? Will it look like the ones on the console or more like Chrono Trigger/Golden Sun?

ToP plays pretty much like a standard RPG outside of battle but its combat system is Linear Motion Battle (real time and in a single line.) The GBA version's graphics are somewhere in between the original SFC (the Japanese equivelent of the SNES) and the Playstation remake.

Hello,

Are you looking forward to the new The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess that's coming out soon?

Makes me think I should get myself a Gamecube, just to play that. But it's too bad that another one of my favorite game series, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, looks to only be on the Playstation. :/

Actually, I'm not much of a Zelda fan myself, but my boyfriend is interested in it and I told him that he can use my Gamecube.

And I hear you on the PS2 woes- the Tales series looks like it'll be staying on the Sony system, at least for the rest of this generation. At least the combined resources of everyone in this apartment means we have multiple PS2s around...
