I've always wondered why the name of this series sorta sounds like "Suck-Odin". Whether you interpret the name as bad for marketing or just plain wrong, the popular JRPG series is anything but sucky. With a cast of over 108 party members and deep stories for each of the five entries, it's a shame that the franchise has only made a single port onto a Nintendo system.

But that might change, with Suikoden Tierkreis coming to the DS in Japan sometime in 2009. Not much is known about the game, but we can be sure of a few things.
*You start off with three warriors, and in a Valkyrie Profile-esque manner, you need to recruit the rest of the heroes for a final battle against a creature named "The One King".
*There will be an interesting online feature, where you send a character on a quest that your friend must complete.

I honestly don't hear much about he Suikoden series these days, but lets hope that changes when Tierkreis comes out.
