So what's happening with it? It does not sell well in the West. Why?
- Lack of popularity/marketing? The games weren't even released outside Japan until a few years ago.
- Lack of pretty grapics? Everything does look a bit dull.
- Bad presentation? It uses some cool CGI movies, but it lacks proper voice action etc.
OR:
- Wrong platform?

So I am wondering about this: would this game do better on the PS360?
On those platforms, it probably would have gotten/needed better graphics/presentation. But other than that, would the demographic have been better?
IMO Fire Emblem is a better handheld game than on a console. Also, Is there any reason it has to go 3D? I think the best Fire Emblem was the first on on the GBA. I had a lot of fun with that game.
