> Langrisser goes way back to the Genesis days of RPG supremacy.  To this day, Warsong (Genesis) is the only Langrisser title to be published in America.  Since then, the series has come a long way with multiple incarnations appearing on the Sega Saturn.  As many of you know, Strategy/RPGs are my favorite genre so the advent of this latest Langrisser title coming to the Uberconsole has me really excited.
