It's a WONDERFUL year for games!

Digimon World Remake? Check! Digimon World: ReDigitize is coming out for the PSP! I may not be able to play it, but just knowing that they are remaking/re-doing one of the best Digimon games makes me very happy.

Dragon Quest ( a.k.a. Warrior) Monsters Remake? Check! A remake is coming out for the 3DS sometime this year! I played this game as a kid on the GBC (and I have the ROM on my laptop right now), and I am ecstatic there is going to be a remake.

Third Gen 5 Pokemon game? Check! And it's not one, but two games! Not sure which one I'll get, but I am SO getting one of them! I like the Kyurem formes too!

Spin-off Pokemon game? Check! Yes, news about Pokemon + Nobunaga's Ambition has been out for a while, but I haven't posted anything about it yet. As a fan of turn-based strategies, I am very pumped that they're doing this with the Pokemon franchise. I really hope it gets a release outside of Japan.

I used to watch Pokemon religiously growing up, but for some reason, the games have just never appealed to me, even though they are so wildly popular. Can it be said that I'm really missing out here?

I watched the anime for quite a while myself once we got satellite, but I've always been a fan of the games ever since Pokemon Red. No, you're not really missing out, since the main games have the same basic structure/plot (collect 8 badges, defeat the resident evil team and beat the Elite Four). The side/spin-off games experiment a bit, so perhaps one of those might appeal to you more?
