OMG. YESH!

I can not wait for that to come out, because I'm tired of trying to install the original games on my PC. I've heard it might be a dead project though. I'll try to find more information when I have time.

And I'm still waiting for Twilight Princess to come out (Not that this should surprise anyone by now... ^^; )

he who reigns beneath the sod,
to spare a mortal’s breath.

DOSbox is your friend. I'd also recomend getting the frontend program D-fend. It makes Dosbox easier to use.

And check out the King's Quest 1 and 2 remakes.
Everybody was a baby once, Arthur. Oh, sure, maybe not today, or even yesterday. But once. Babies, chum: tiny, dimpled, fleshy mirrors of our us-ness, that we parents hurl into the future, like leathery footballs of hope. And you''ve got to get a good spiral on that baby, or evil will make an interception.

I've used DosBox, believe me. And I've played (and beaten) the remakes.

I still would just like to install it without having to have something special to do it.

Valkyrie Profile: Silmeria. Whenever it's due out. I 've been waiting for a VP sequel soo long

I'd like to play FFXII and Dirge of Cereberus when they're released, but I feel as if I don't care as much as I did last year. *shrug*

And I hope Tekken 5: Dark Ressurection comes to PS2. They have it at the arcade here, but I STILL haven't had the time to play it >_<

According to Walmart.com, it's being relased May 1st. Then again, I've seen walmart push back the release dates several times. Around Christmas time it was dated to come out in February. Then it was pushed back to April, I think. Now May. I want to play them again, damnit.

I used to play The Princeless Bride to death.
And really, why shouldn't we be afraid? In case you haven't heard, life is terminal. Cigarettes will kill you. So will your cellphone. Your car is a deadly weapon and alcohol is a quiet killer. Don't lick the lead-based paint on the walls. Don't lick the back of a postage stamp and certainly don't lick any strangers! That will bring you down quickly indeed. Don't drink the water but don't drink less than eight glasses a day. Your enviroment is toxic, your natural resources are dwindling, your days are numbered, but what ever you do, don't panic! The stress, don't you know, will kill you.

Me too... and I was so terrible at it. I kept dying EVERYWHERE and I couldn't beat it without eventually using the strategy guide. ;)

I remember liking the mother's Acts more than the daughter's. For some reason I think they were easier?

I also played KQ 6 a lot as well.

Yep. Although Chapter 5 was long as hell...

KQ6 remains one of my favorites. That's where my sig is from, after all. =D

KQ 6 was my favorite one. I liked the music that plays in the beginning movie. Saladin's voice annoyed me at first because I knew I had heard his voice before but couldn't figure where. Turns out he was Megabyte on Reboot. I was disappointed at the Disney cartoon look 7 took. I liked the more realistic approach that 5 and 6 were going for. I also didn't like how the GUI took up half the screen.

Really just waiting for an announcement on whether or not Kingdom Herats II: Final Mix+ is coming to the US

I'm not really into video games, so I don't exactly have a list. I'm interested in the Wii, however and to see how the PS3 will do.

Three for the DS:
Elite Beat Agents (More music fun!)
Phoenix Wright: Justice For All (I'd sell my kidney to get it early)
Touch Detective (Insert dirty joke here)

PS2:
Shin Megami Tensei Devil Summoner (LOVE this series!)

Wii:
Rayman Raving Rabbids (Not only is it a new Rayman game, but it has evil bunny rabbits!)

What I want to come to the US (but never will):
The sequel to Rhapsody
That game where you teach a Polar Bear from outerspace to sing.)
STAGE OUT!!!

Im waiting for the money to get them so I guess this counts.

I want to get Xenosaga III and Shadowhearts: From the New World

I love Shadowhearts. Alternate history is one of my favorite subjects and seeing it in a video game RPG was just awesome.

As for Xenosaga. I just like the game. True KOS-MOS is awesome but I think Shion, MOMO and chaos are a lot cooler.
