Riviera style, Fire Emblem-looking strategy, and a card system.. I want this. Now. (but until then, BUY RIVIERA!!! Seriously, it's one of the best games of last year... great, unique, innovative... doesn't get much better than that. (though last year also saw Zelda - The Minish Cap and Fire Emblem - The Sacred Stones, so it was a great year, but still, I think Riviera was the best one... I wasn't sure what to expect before playing it, and watching gameplay videos didn't convince me, but once I bought it I was very glad that I had.)
Movies (watch them!)

Quote:ATLUS U.S.A., INC. ANNOUNCES “YGGDRA UNION”™ FOR THE GAME BOY® ADVANCE
A Stunning New Strategy RPG From the Makers of the Award-Winning
“Riviera: The Promised Land”
IRVINE, CA -- February 3, 2006 -- Atlus U.S.A., Inc., a leading publisher of interactive entertainment, today announced that Yggdra Union, a strategy role-playing game for the Nintendo Game Boy Advance, is scheduled for release in the fall of 2006.

About YGGDRA UNION
Ruled by a royal family said to be descendants of the gods themselves, Fantasinia is a prosperous and peaceful land -- until the peace is shattered by the invading forces of the Empire of Bronkia.
Led by the young emperor Gulcasa, who seized control of the Empire in a brutal coup d’etat, Bronkia’s Imperial Army cuts a bloody swath through the people of Fantasinia and the Royal Armies of King Ordeene.
Amidst the chaos, a young woman escapes from the besieged capital of Partina -- a woman with innocence in her face, and a sword in her hand.
The girl’s name is Princess Yggdra, the last surviving member of the royal family; the sword is the Gran Centurio, a legendary blade once wielded by the founder of Fantasinia, and passed down through generations of royalty.
Fleeing to to a remote valley at the southern tip of the continent, Yggdra meets up with Milanor, the charismatic leader of a band of thieves, and readies herself for a war of liberation...
YGGDRA UNION Key Features:
* Strategic gameplay in which decks of “Tactical Cards” are used to determine battlefield movement, special attacks, and more!
* Character design by manga artist Satoko Kiyuzuki and card design by Sunaho Tobe, character designer of “Riviera: The Promised Land”!
* Over 30 attack, defense, and support skills!
* Join forces with other allies to form an unbeatable Union!
