US considering we didn't get the last new Fire Emblem game for some mysterious reason
Which Fire Emblem is this? The last one I heard about was Shadow Dragon and we got that one.
It's another remake for the DS. You didn't hear about it because Nintendo never brought it up. I'm guessing they had no plans to localize it from the very beginning.
Random question for you all: When did the last Nintendo game come out that you were really jazzed about?
I'm very excited about Kirby Returns to Dream Land and Rhythm Heaven Wii right now. Before that, though... I dunno, Super Mario Galaxy 2? Pokemon? Okay yeah, probably Pokemon. I'm a Pokeholic.

Probably Smash Bros. Brawl, since my friends and I played Melee all the time. I want to be super jazzed about Skyward Sword, but I just don't trust Nintendo enough right now. Maybe if it gets great reviews, it'll climb up on my hype-o-meter.

Starfox 64 3D is probably the most excited I can be about a game. But as we get closer to Skyward Sword I'm sure something else will start pointing skyward.
I haven't been excited about anything that wasn't a PC game in a while. Though I have been pleasantly surprised by games like "Might and Magic DS" and a few other games in recent times.
Then again I would eat up another Smash Brothers game.
Starfox 64 3D will surely be an awesome use of the technology but I think it's a huge mistake to kill off a franchise if a port does not sell. I did just have a "holy crap I'm old" moment when I realized that it's a 14 year old game now, but still, they'd better keep their expectations in line.
Why not kill off a franchise that has (arguably) produced only one or two good games? For a Nintendo franchise, that's a pretty bad track record.
That would be a pretty crappy attitude to take towards your product. We can't figure out how to make a good one, so lets just give up. The first two Star Fox games were awesome, then Nintendo went and put out a string of crap games. Still, the franchise is not tarnished to Sonic the Hedgehog proportions. If they woke up and made a great new Star Fox game, everyone would buy it.
Star Fox, when I first encountered it, looked like crap to me, and I didn't even bother with it. Remember that X-Wing came out the same year. ;^)
You continuously make me regret not doing more PC gaming during those years. I played X-Wing vs Tie Fighter 5 years after it came out and I was still impressed.
I couldn't stand X-Wing or TIE Fighter when I was young, because they were too hard.
X-Wing was too hard, but I enjoyed it despite never beating it. TIE Fighter built my spatial coordination skills up to a startling degree: I played it until I could beat it near perfectly with no trouble.
X-Wing was the first PC game I ever played. I was terrible at it, but I was also barely sentient at the time. It's the reason I'm one of the few non-CS people my age who knows him some DOS.
My memories are failing me. I stand corrected, what I actually owned was this:
"The LucasArts Archives Vol. IV: The Star Wars Collection II (1998) Star Wars: Dark Forces Star Wars: TIE Fighter Collector's Edition CD-ROM Star Wars: X-Wing Collector's Edition CD-ROM Star Wars: Yoda Stories Star Wars: Making Magic (same as from the first Star Wars Collection) Demo disc of Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II, Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith, and Star Wars: X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter."
so looks like I haven't actually played X-Wing vs TIE Fighter outside of possibly loading the demo when I was young. A small part of me is excited that I have never played such as this exists, and the rest of me is crushed now that I have been informed it is shit.

I think Star Fox 64 3D, which I don't have because I have yet to obtain a 3DS...And it just came out, so...Yeah.
Yeah, I know.. I couldn't help myself.
