[rodeojones903]

Hopefully amazon will too. :D

[phantomer]

wow that was fast

[TheRookieMonster]

What's this game about?

I see a big robot on the front cover...so i'm guessing it's not about horse racing

[slidecage]

few others

Cake mania 10 bucks

i got a 10 buck Eb credit i might try to grab this even though i hated it

[62t]

which is the price the game should be on day 1.

[neonglow]

Thanks OP. I just bought it.

[heffaji]

The magic price for me. Thanks OP.

[xeno]

is this worth 20?

[doodofdoods]

That's a good price. Never played the front mission games before, so I'll probably pick this up. I've liked what I've read about it in the reviews.

[rodeojones903]

If this sells well enough at that price hopefully it will get SE to bring out their DS games cheaper.




Nah, who am I kiddin'. :D

[H22A]

Nice. Have been interested in this, but not at the original asking price.

[phattsoe]

man, i bought it at the $35 price using the 10% off coupon and opened it up to show my bro (but haven't even played it)... damn, i shoulda known to wait...

[JBaby]

Thx OP good find!

[Alien Spider]

Awesome, I was really wanting this game, no way I'd pay $35 for it though. $20 is a little more reasonable.

Thanks OP! In for one.

[evilchris]

man, i bought it at the $35 price using the 10% off coupon and opened it up to show my bro (but haven't even played it)... damn, i shoulda known to wait... well if you wanted to couldn't you just buy another one and then return the new/wrapped one with the old ones receipt. so you save some amount of money

[phattsoe]

well if you wanted to couldn't you just buy another one and then return the new/wrapped one with the old ones receipt. so you save some amount of money
yeah, just realized that. it is the cag way, after all... hopefully it's instore, too... then i can buy it at one gamestop at the mall and return (with old receipt) at the other one...

[Pajama_Man]

Heh not bad!

Well worth $20. Although I don't feel too bad paying $24.xx for it when it came out.

Good game.

[Lizard Axe]

Ordered. Thanks OP!

[onikage]

Thanks for the info OP, I didn't expect to see this game drop so soon.

[basilofbkrst]

I just got home from my gamestop and they still had it for $35...or was it $30? I think though that it's $20 online only

[SailorDaravon]

Damn, I paid a little more than this, worth it though to support the series over here. I was going to be buying another copy of this in less than 8 hours for a gift though, and I was about to do it from Amazon since they're the cheapest I could find online, thanks a ton OP.

[T3kN]

Damn this game droped in price FAST. Espeically for a Square Enix game. Then again the Front Mission series doesnt do very well in the US. you can pick up Front mission 4 for the ps2 for about $7 used, $15 new i believe.
Prob going to pick this up

[Dunvane]

Damn, I almost bit, but with it being close to Christmas, I just can't.

I'm totally going to go pick up Front Mission 4 for $7 at GS tomorrow though. I need some giant-robot-tactical-goodness.

[roc's feather]

Wow. That's a great price. Thanks OP!

[LXL_Guy]

Ugh...this price is tempting...I definately loved the game. First Front Mission I ever played for the SNES and now finally released state side. With Xmas so close I can't afford to splurge. Thanks though OP.

[CaoPi]

yeah Front mission isn't too popular which is why we never in saw Front mission 5 in USA

[Ctl-Alt-l33t]

Thanks OP! Glad I waited for this one

[dcswirl]

Thx for the heads up on this one!

[SDC]

I'm severely tempted to do this. Any idea of how long the price will last?

[johnnypark]

Eh, decided to bite. I'd like to support lesser known S-E releases, and for the reviews were good enough for $20.

[icebeast]

I really enjoyed Front Mission 3 and Front Mission 4, but I've been procrastinating getting this game because I figured it might go down in price... especially after how fast Front Mission 4's price dropped. At $20 I'm fairly sure I'll pick it up.

[ekard]

On my way to the store today to get a copy.

[natureboy46]

I paid full price for the game and it was well worth it. great series.

[RustyOrgan]

Already picked up at Best Buy for $25 after the $10 off coupon..

It's a SRPG in the vain of games like Shining Force and Final Fantasy Tactics; but, in contrast, you control robots and have a load of customization options. However, if you're completely new to the series, I recommend finding Front Mission 3 (PSOne) or Front Mission 4 (PS2)--the updated 3D graphics really made the series more enjoyable for me, especially since the mechs looks so much more bas-ass :-)

Shining Force I and II were the first SRPG's that really hooked me, and, since those days, Front Mission 3 has really been the only other game in the genre that I whole-heartedly enjoyed.

Other than the mechs, my favorite part about the Front Mission series is that it's totally catered to players who like to use their brains and creativity, but not have to spend hours grinding for XP just to complete a battle; in other words, it's challenging, but in a way that doesn't require the player to waste a ton of extra time.

[Masterkyo]

It's great game. Sadly, it not do well in the US.

[Wolfpup]

The DEMO for Front Mission 4 seemed really fun, but I never bought the game because I figured it would get too hard. I heard this one was knocked for being too "simple"? If so, this might be just right for me :)

(I take it it's a remake of the original SNES game that was never released here.)

[brianmoy]

The OP should mention how long the sale lasts.

Nice, I'd pay $20 to get the orig Front Mission! (to guy above me, yeah it is a remake of the orig Front Mission unreleased in USA - which is why I want it. Hooray for ports of classic games!!)

[MightySlacker]

I would say I'm shocked, but considering Front Mission 4 dropped from 50 to 30 in less than 2 months, and then to 15 a month after that, I'm not.

Anywho, yet again I bought a Front Mission for full price, and yet again I wasn't disappointed. High recommendation to buy (as well as Front Mission 4 if you don't have it already)

[Haeon]

Just bit on this one. I lost my last copy with my DS on a flight and was looking to replace it. Thanks OP!

[VirgiltheChicken]

Been waiting on this since it came out. Thanks OP!

[barneygumble]

Has anyone had any luck with this in-store, or is it online only?

[junghu]

Ordered from GS.com. Thanks :D

[mrlokievil]

It's 19.99 in stores too. I just picked up a copy.

[Inf^Shini]

chill.....

[Master Shake]

$19.07 with tax. Awesome.

[Purple Flames]

I'm on my way to EB to see if hey have it for this price.

[Morpheus]

Thanks OP.

[Purple Flames]

Just got back and they had it for $20. Thanks OP.

[onikage]

Has the in-store used price gone down yet? Online it's still listed at $29.99.

[Jesse_Dylan]

Weird. Fickle Gamestop. They make their money ripping people off with used games anyway.

I would have bought this when it came out, but I'm too cheap. :) I certainly didn't expect a price drop this quickly, though; it's still at the MSRP everywhere else.

Thanks, OP! Now find me an 80gb PS3 for $299.99! :)
