I still wish there was something for the iPhone, though. Taking the little bits of time I have and playing a turn, or 2, or twenty… seems like the natural way to do things.

No, you’re thinking of Ogre Battle. It can be confusing because they are in the same series. Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen for the SNES and Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber fit the description you gave.
Tactics Ogre for the Super NES fits in between those 2 story wise but follows the traditional turn-based strategy RPG formula. It actually introduced a much more intensive class-leveling system that Fire Emblem lacks. There is also a side-story (not one of the main games) released for the GBA called Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis which is quite good. Both are the tactical JRPG you’re looking for.
I actually prefer the Ogre Battle format over tactical RPGs, but only by a thread. If they could find a way to mix the two successfully, I would be in heaven.
Oh yes! Ogre Battle. It’s been a while.
Maybe I should hit up ebay for a DS. They are backwards compatible for the GBA, aren’t they?

Linky no worky for me though… is it for the Wii or PC? Otherwise, I can’t play it.

Sorry, the link works for me. And also sorry, I didnt realize you only have Wii and PC. The disc works with both 360 and PS, I think. Not totally sure though.

The DS and DS Lite are backwards compatible. The newly released DSi is not.
Also, Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen was recently released for the Wii through the Virtual Channel.
