never released in europe before no? this is the type of thing the virtual console is great for. to correct such injustices of the past. sin & punishment, super mario RPG, mario's super picross and now this. good stuff!
never played an ogre game before. is it comparable to fire emblem?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ogre Battle 64 is really unusual. Everything's in real-time (though you can pause and look around), and you have different groups you control on the field. The goal is, typically, to capture the opponent's base without losing yours (or your leader dying).
When you run into an enemy, it goes to a battle screen. You can instruct only the group as a whole, and only with commands such as "Target weakest" or "Target strongest", and this is in real-time as well.
The game is based around tactical preparation. How to arrange your groups (there are 9 squares, but different characters have different sizes), how to equip them, and who to send in against whom. The battle is won before it begins.

Tell me to get back to rewriting this site so it's not horrible on mobileWow. Some of these sound like the sony anti-pr I was expecting.
When you see this kind of reaction is when you know it's a new product and not a revision.
Touchscreen gaming and motion gaming were met with a strange lack of excitement and a fair bit of cranky skepticism by some media types. And now 3d. I guess it will do well.
sounds interesting but difficult. so you see the opponent's units and positions as well as the landscape and your task is to choose, position and give general commands to your units before the battle even starts (and some general commands in real-time thereafter)?

It's easier to follow if you actually see it. I set the video to start when the player is making commands on the battlefield to send move units. At 5:10 a battle starts; the only things the user did were when you saw the menu pop up (first to show animations, then to retreat). Everything else was automatic.
---
Tell me to get back to rewriting this site so it's not horrible on mobileThere are moral decisions to make that affect the game, as well.
If you liberate a town that is unhappy, you'll be doing the "right" thing and become more heroic.
If you "liberate" a town against its will, you will grow to be disliked and affect the outcome of the game.
Different units become available and the ending varies depending on your actions. Different heroes may choose to join you, or not, etc, including the original heroes from the original Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen...
So. Much. To. This. Game!
It's one of the few games out there I can replay and replay and replay...
How you position your troops in your individual parties decides their actions.
One of the things I love the most though is:
If you have magic users, clerics or certain fighters in the same row in your party and their speed is similar, they will do powerful COMBINATION SPELLS and ATTACKS...
...finding all of those is half the fun of the game!
Edit: oh, I checked some videos and it doesn't look anything like the other Tactics Ogre games. Or like those in real time either. It seems like the battle system is closer to normal JRPG stuff with active timer battles and what not? It also kind of makes me think of Heroes of Might & Magic the way it's shown in this video (I dunno if it's good, just randomly searched on YouTube). I'll have to play it now, knowing it's such a different experience.
I guess what I said applies to the other Tactics Ogre games only then, like the GBA's The Knight of Lodis. I guess the "Tactics" part of their title should have been a good enough hint that their gameplay is different, like FFTactics.

never seen anything quite like it. it's like an RTS crossed with an RPG ... sort of thing. looks exciting.
i always have a hard time discovering all of the perks hidden in RPGs, and always feel like i'm missing out
is Tactics Ogre on SNES worth looking into? i think the earliest strategy RPG i played was military madness on virtual console (TG16) which Leo recommended many moons ago (back in the days of the ggd) which was very nice

Game Room on the 360 is very cool. It's pretty neat setting up the rooms in it with a theme, props, and of course the game cabinets themselves. The games are reasonably priced at about $3 per game. There's a decent amount of games selectable from the start, about 15 I believe, from arcade games to Atari 2600 games and some Intellivision titles. They're a bit too retro for my tastes so I don't think I'll get any of these games. I'm really hoping for some early '90's titles like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and some Neo-Geo games to come out soon.
!!!
You poor guys from England, how did you go a whole childhood without seeing that commercial. That is the owl in the commercials for a tootsie pop. How many licks does it take to get to the center.
It's available now?
(I don't have my 360 hooked up at the moment.)
WTF is this. Wow do they not understand that this is a brand new system. Do they realize this will sell a billion units and will have all the excellent Nintendo games we love. Looking at the DS lineup is enough to get excited for the potential lineup this will have.
$75, HELL NO.
Cheapskate!
