Is this game exclusive to N3DS?

[Keymaker]

Hi friends I forgot to ask but is this game for 3DS and 2DS systems as well? I just bought a sea green 2ds a few weeks ago for my birthday.

Can you guys tell me if this game will work on 2DS? Is it exclusive to N3DS in anyway?

[Ryo]

Nope, if it's exclusive to the N3DS they would have announced about that already.

[The DanMan]

It works on everything. Just check the official box art.

[Keymaker]

But that is the official box art for JPN release? It just says 3DS on JPN box art?

I have NA model of 2DS. But only N3DSXL is released so who can please tell me?

As far as pretty much anyone can tell, Fire Emblem: If is not exclusive to the N3DS. Your 2DS will be just fine.

[Keymaker]

But it wasn't announced for the 2DS?! This has me worried. Because only the new 3dsXL is supported now in NOA.

All I want to know friends is whether this game can be played on 2ds?

I've never heard any game that can only be playable on the 3DS but not the 2DS. Don't the two have the same hardware or something?

[ChocolaChao]

Your 2ds can play Fire Emblem If.

If a game is exclusively for the New 3DS, it would explicitly say so on the box art. Look at the box art of Xenoblade Chronicles 3D, for example:

Oh ok. Thanks friends

[Great Geargia Gateway]

Well have people with normal 3DS's been Pre-dowloading it already with succession?

[Book of Ereshkigal]

The 2DS is the exact same thing as a 3DS, and just like the 3DS, the 2DS can play 3DS games and not N3DS games.(and if is a regular 3DS game.)

[AniMoons]

but what about when it gets released in the west? will it be N3DS excluive, then?

[Ryo]

Why would a game that's completely compatible with a regular 3DS made N3DS-exclusive in the West?

^ Because only New3DSXL is supported by NOA?

Are we sure that this game will not be a N3DS exclusive for NA and EU? Please confirm...

[Ryo]

^ Because only New3DSXL is supported by NOA?

...What does that have to do with my question? There are regular 3DS in other regions too.

The international Nintendo Directs so far made it clear that this is a 3DS game, they have never mentioned anything about being N3DS exclusive.

OP, CALM. YOUR. SOUL.

There is absolutely no reason for them to make it N3DS exclusive after we already have predownloads confirmed for regular Japanese 3DSs.

That would cause intense backlash for NO REASON.

No. All 3DS family systems are supported by NOA, which includes 2DS, 3DS, 3DS XL and new 3DS XL.

Some games are only compatible on new 3DS XL because they require the extra hardware power. So far, only two games fit this criteria: Xenoblade Chronicles 3D and Binding of Isaac.

Fire Emblem if will be playable on all systems, in all territories. There's no logical reason or precedence to believe otherwise, besides scaremongering.
