You fail at proving anything with that post, Ken. The fact that they added a camera that will only be used in like 10/5000 games already rises the costs of the console for no good reason. That very same cash could have been used to improve other things, such as the 3D renderer(2D in the DS is mighty fine), or heck, just better speakers.
The difference between the GC and the PS2/PS3 is that the GC wasn't intended to be used as a media device. The Panasonic Q was a side project approved by Nintendo, but was never intended for it to be mainstream, unlike the PS3's missile launcher.

BACK ON TOPIC THO
I
Hate
This
Game. Between the Lord sucking at Gaining points, The Re-classing feature is decent, I guess, but only really useful for making up for points that some classes don't get or Keeping your Fliers alive. The DS's version used 3d Graphics for the Battle Animations, and made them Less cool, less flashy. I hate it.
The game has a learning curve like no tommorow, and GOD FORBID I FIND ANY MANAKETES WHEN I RP ON THIS BOARD
There are like a Million in this game. The Manakete is my chosen HATED class.

Isis: Meep. ' Also: Marth is fine for me (and I had a friend take down Medeus with him...), there are only 2 Manakete you can control, and I'm fine with the 3-D (although it pales comparison to Radiant Dawn. Doesn't everything?). All in all, a decent game, but I need to stop trying to balance out my party, cuz it ain't happenin. XD

I just got annoyed because only a handful of the characters have real personalities. And no supports.
So fail.

Supports in FE games have been badly done thus far. Unless you are going for the story backgrounds, the supports have little effect from a gameplay point of view, and them being tedious as hell to get only makes them worse(200 turns of two characters being right next to the other to get a C support? RIIIIIIIGHT). And even then, they need to fight close together for the bonus to kick in.
If Shadow Dragon really has no support conversations, well, that's sad. It means there are no extra backstories in there. But even that being the case, I will NOT really miss them, as they had no other purpose than that.
Also, are all characters really as "blank" as I've heard?

Yes. Some characters come in with no back story.
At all.
Here's an example: Prince Hardin rides out to meet Prince Marth. Prince Hardin brings with him 2 cavaliers, and 2 horsemen. Those two horsemen are Sedgar and Wolf. Sedgar has green hair, Wolf has purple hair. They are the best units in the game.
There, I just mentioned 7 characters for you, and described 2 of them fully.

Oh god. I had heard it was a half-assed remake, but this is taking it a bit too far.
So, basically it is a port with different graphics, the ability to change classes(which practically kills the entire point of difficulty. Just get what you need for this next map and be done with it in less than 3 turns, as long as you plan it well enough) and a little bit of extra dialogue for Marth and his sister/friend. Also, is it true that it doesn't have Book II?(that is, the 3rd game in the series) I mean, they are part of the same story. And it's not like they don't have enough space in the DS cart to fit that in.

I played the original, it's the exact same way. The differences in character plot is:
Marth and Caeda can talk with certain characters on some missions. (Caeda once talked to Ogma about how much she was thankful he joined.)
There's also the gaiden missions that you can only get to if you have 15 or less characters. (You have to kill some party members.) And the online mode, where you fight a people online, but several of them hack so it doesn't matter.
