If you're not lucky enough to be one of the owners of one of those copies, you would have been looking at spending a hefty chunk of cash to buy a legitimate edition before this past Monday -- but now, with the game available for download from the Wii Shop for just eight bucks, it's an incredible deal. If you're at all a fan of strategy titles like Fire Emblem, Shining Force, Advance Wars or any modern game with the word "Tactics" in its title, you owe it to yourself to check out one of the rarest and most respected entries into the genre from the 16-bit generation.

The SNES was probably the best all-around retro console in terms of its game library and the sheer number of hits that were released on the system. It’s no wonder that these 15 games are just a few of the SNES games that hold up today.
Why do these sites always go for the obvious top 10 best Snes games?
There are tons of Snes games that are never mentioned and are still fun to play today.
Games like :
- Super Punch out
- Axelay
- Demon's Crest
- Saturday Slammaster
- Run Saber
- Sunset Rider
- Out of this world

One of Quest’s classics is getting a re-release on Wii U in Japan. Square Enix will bring Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen to Virtual Console on November 20.
"Cue the most Epic Overture in game history! Ogre Battle had it all including a plethora of all the coolest ‘fantasy’ classes & beasties to choose from to build your army. It was one of the most complex RPG / RTS games." - Samson of Str N Gaming
This game was truly epic, i only played it in the past on the psx, but recently finished the original snes version.
To me this is hands down the best franchise that square enix owns, it truly, truly sux that Square ignores so many awesome franchises in their backlog.
That one is also one of my favorites, but the franchise is owned by monolith now, who turned it into a linear cut scene fest of epic short proportions.
Indeed, I spent many hours with this game attempting to get all of the endings. I can still hear every song from every map in my head.
I'm purchasing this in the desperate hope that they will revive the series.
Seriously though, we need another Ogre Battle. I must have spent 100+ hours apiece on March of the Black Queen and Tactics Ogre.
