Lose a unit in Fire Emblem and they’re gone from the story. While permadeath adds intensity to battles, it also frustrates players who just want to soak in the story. Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem – Hero of Light and Shadow has a solution that should please both crowds.
In this Nintendo DS remake, permadeath is optional. Choose classic mode if you don’t mind losing allies or want an extra challenge. Players can defeat permadeath by starting the game in casual mode.
Oprainfall writes: “While the month of January was all about news, the month of February is definitely all about games. Episode 8 of The Downpour Podcast focuses on two games near and dear to the oprainfall Staff, Fire Emblem: Awakening and Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch. For over two hours, Jonathan and company gush about the games and anime they love, occasionally going on tangents about things like The Legend of Zelda, Monolith’s ‘X’, the next console generation, and more!”
Lots of DS RPGs shown here, with Pokemans, Emblems, Metal, Codes, History, Robots, Kunis, and Sun to spare.
Yakuza New Chapter, Last Ranker, Metal Max 3, Solarobo, Tales of Phanatsia narikiri Dungeon X, Shining Hearts, God Eater Burst, Patapon 3, Half-Minute Hero 2, Tales of the World Radiant Mythology 3, Fire Emblem Mystery of the Emblem, and Ys vs Sora no Kisei Alternative Saga.

Yakuza New Chapter: Black Panther new & returning characters.
Yurika, Chiaki, Sai no Hanaya (Kage in English), Sakaki (last) Tenma (first), Takenaka (last) Shouzou (first), & DJ Rikuoh.
The cut-scenes are in motion comic style a-la Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker, but the character design is more close to that manga style.
In my opinion, more color & details than Peace Walker western style, which both of them looked great.
Hopefully, we didn't have to wait 1 more year for the English release......... : /
If there would be an English release.

EDIT :

EDIT :
Aaaaaaaaarrrggghhh, Shining Hearts for PSP is also looked great.
Hope it would also released in English... >_>
PS: The character design reminds me of Taka Tony (T2), a hentai / porn manga artist.

EDIIIIIIIIITTT :
I actually think that Shining Hearts character designer IS Taka Tony (T2).
That is lame. Way to remove some of the fun.
