What Japanese game would you most like to see available in the U.S.?
- Nintendo Puzzle Collection
- GIFTPIA
- Fire Emblem
- Legend of Stafi
Fire Emblem is abolutely crushing the rest of them. Makes you wonder why Nintendo doesn't think twice about bringing its premiere RPG series to North America. What are your thoughts?

EDIT: Just voted for Fire Emblem.

But I do want Fire Emblem the most out of those 4 of course
Remember that Marth and Roy gained a cult following thanks to SSBM.
Nintendo Puzzle Collection is just another compilation port.
Legend of Staffi and Giftpia are pretty much unknown here.
So Fire Emblem winning by a landslide (that is quite an understatement...) really isn't much of a surprise.

huh...who ever said they did? I hate how everyone says that, out of all the people who came over to my house (alot) to play SSBM...no one liked Marth or Roy. I just am wondering how everyone is saying "they are popular from SSBM..." (not flame bait but thanks for being my subject)
Anyway, I don't see how Nintendo.com's polls matter, rememebr that had that poll about the style of Zelda. The "realistic" version dominated the rest but alast no results...we will see.

Nintendo.com's poll didn't affect Zelda's style because NOA has no input into the development of Zelda games. That is strictly an NCL decision. However localizing a Japanese game in the American market is NOA's decision so the poll is considerably more relevant.

And besides it's obvious Fire Emblem is going to win because of Marth and Roy's appearance in SSB:M. The same way many people wanted the Mach Rider series to come back after seeing the trophy in smash bros., despite the fact it was never very good from the start.

No matter what the poll, though, if one choice is totally obliterating the other three, something needs to be noted about it. (The Zelda poll, while having the realistic choice winning, wasn't as clear-cut as Fire Emblem is in this one.)

The timing of this poll is interesting. Just recently there was an announcement of the new Fire Emblem game. I bet a lot of gamers emailed Nintendo and ask if it will be coming to the US. The amount of email wasn't as big as the Zelda Bonus Disk, but it was big enough to put a poll up on their website. The other three games were probable already planned to come to the US. The poll is basically asking do you want Fire Emblem?

They just did. A lot of SSBM players really like playing as them. Just because the people who come over your house doesn't like using them doesn't mean other people don't. Remember that I'm using the internet crowd and people I know in real life to come to that conclusion. I really doubt Fire Emblem would be getting the attention it's getting now if Marth and Roy weren't included in SSBM.
BTW, I gained interest in Fire Emblem once I found out about Fire Emblem VI for GBA when I was doing some research and then looked up to find some information on the series
Whether or not this poll will have a major effect, in the end it's still worth a shot right? After all, it's only taking up a few seconds of our time

Nintendo could always change the name; although the name 'Fire Emblem' seems pretty decent to me. It would be an amazing game to come to North America in my opinon. Heck, I hope KOEI releases Romance Of The Three Kingdoms Advance stateside (Although I doubt that will happen).

Besides, I want to know what happens in The Sealed Sword cause Roy owns the other FE guys for two cents, IMO.
