Buy/Rent/Ignore DS - February '09 - Retro Game Challenge Edition

Welcome to the first edition of Buy/Rent/Ignore DS Style for 2009, with this 10-day late entry where we take a look at the upcoming (and already released) DS releases for the month and see what tickles our fancy.

Using the ultra-simple terminology, we can denote our preferences like so:

Buy: "I want this game", "I'm getting this game", or "I must have it"
Rent: "I'll look into it", "I'll check it out", or "It's on my radar, but it's not a must have."
Ignore: "Screw it, I'm not getting this"

This is all pulled from Amazon US; therefore, it's North American releases only. Sorry, international gamers.

re: Buy/Rent/Ignore DS - February '09 - Retro Game Challenge Edition

Buy:
DQ V
FE: SD
Puzzle Quest Galactrix

The first puzzle quest was one of the most addicting game I've ever played that isn't (using the term loosely) an RPG. I'm 100% sure the second game in the series won't disappoint.

Skeptical about Blue Dragon Plus. I have to watch some videos and read some reviews first. Heroes of Mana (by the same developers) was such a disappointment =/

Woo, Fire Emblem!

I would check out Dragon Quest as well, but I'm already swamped in RPGs.

Buy: Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon

I have never played a Dragon Quest before, so I am considering it. Fire Emblem is my main priority though.

re: Buy/Rent/Ignore DS - February '09 - Retro Game Challenge Edition

I plan to get Fire Emblem, Dragon Quest, and especially Blue Dragon, but I'm out of money.

BTW, one review for Blue Dragon Plus says most flaws from other games from the makers have been dealt with and is much better than Heroes of Mana and such.

re: Buy/Rent/Ignore DS - February '09 - Retro Game Challenge Edition

If I get money I'm going with Dragon Quest or Fire Emblem. Haven't tried any games of the series, but I've heard they're good.
