Interdimensional Observer Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Well this came out of nowhere. Hopefully 2 and 3 will follow. 4 and beyond goes into "the original would disincentivize remake sales" territory, so I question giving us those. Maybe FE12 though, Japan eventually got Advance Wars: Days of Ruin, which Europe and NA did, but they did not, another DS title. Even for $5.99 though, an NES SRPG sounds like a hard sell to me, that genre ain't the platformer. Mega Man and Super Mario Bros. have aged liked cheese, FE like that no-preservatives organic bread you bought two weeks ago and left out in the rainforest.

Punished Dayni Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) WHAT. On the one hand I'm laughing at the conversations I could see happening 15 years ago, then it's suddenly confirmed it's actually being released for the west. I'm curious about the differences from fan translations, who did this and the fact there's in game turn saves and speed up features. Even better it's got a limited edition. They're actually doing it the mad lads. Will it be on NSO? And also, where are the SNES titles you cowards? I'm just laughing at the whole thing, right out of nowhere.

Etrurian emperor Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Cool. Can we have genealogy and Binding Blade now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeaceRibbon Posted October 22, 2020 Author Share Posted October 22, 2020 Personally I've got enough spending to do in December for Christmas so I probably won't be picking this one up for a while, but it is exciting that Nintendo and IS are making this piece of gaming history more accessible to the west. This shall forever be the day remembered as "that one time I was first to a Fire Emblem announcement." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joevar Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Cool! i guess since pandemic still going on, rather than making an orchestra every 5 year like usual, they make this instead with the money. so people can still be reminded about Fire emblem. Seems like a decent port at a glance. Also that Trailer suspiciously also mention/showing Roy being in smash and popular through it... Now i wonder where is our proper port for that since marth got it 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azz Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 This is nice. I have a special place in my heart for Marth's games and that speical edition looks nice too, I hope we get it for Europe cause I don't wanna have to import lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanguard333 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) I have to say, I was confused when the announcement was like, "For the first time, the original game is finally being localized". I was thinking, "Am I on crazy pills?! Didn't we already get a localization on the DS?! Is Nintendo starting to forget that the DS was a thing?!" Before anyone asks, yes, I know Shadow Dragon was a remake, but with how deliberately retro it was, it was basically a localization with some added conveniences. Personally, I would've preferred a Switch port of the remake and/or a localization of the sequel's remake, but this still looks neat. I won't get it though because 1) I have no time to play it, and 2) I still have Shadow Dragon.

Spara Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I'm gonna get this for 2 reasons: 1. Playing FE1 with a good translation is gonna be really fun, and FE1 is pretty jank from what I've seen, so I'll probably enjoy it 2. If this sells well, who knows, maybe Ninty will be inspired to do this with more of the JPFE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenticular Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Got to say that this is hard for me to get excited about. While there are a few exceptions, most NES games really don't hold up all that well, and nothing that I've heard about FE:SDatBoL particularly makes me believe this is an exception. Maybe I'd be more excited if the DS remake wasn't a thing and I hadn't already played that, but it is and I have. "Now you get to play the version with NES graphics and 1990's idea of game balance" isn't a draw. I mean, I'm happy for the people who are going to be into this, but it does nothing for me personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samz707 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Haven't played any of Marth's games so I'm kinda excited to get this. (though I am full aware of how simplistic Shadow Dragon is.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimpica Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I just hope this means we are getting news for the next FE title, soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benice Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 DANGIT NOOO TWO DAYS OFF I SAID IT'D BE ANNOUNCED ON THE 24TH! Wait, no, that was next new FE...I still have a chance... Anyways, nice, I guess. I'm not sure many people will get it, though. FE1 is pretty rudimentary. I might get it, we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricaofRenais Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Cool I will be getting this and I will probably get the collectors edition. This is why I always save up money just for video games. If this sells well I hope they do this with Binding Blade. I was thinking about replaying Shadow Dragon and now I will just wait for this.

I found one for $20, though that was several years ago, I have no idea how much a copy of it sells for now, and even the people working at the store were surprised that they had a copy of it. Then again, this game is only $6, so never mind. 10 minutes ago, lenticular said: Got to say that this is hard for me to get excited about.

It's hard for me to be excited about this when there was already a remake of this game back in 2009 that brought it to the west. Personally, I would've been more excited for a localization of New Mystery of the Emblem (the remake of the third game).

Fabulously Olivier Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) If it was a localization of New Mystery, I'd have bought it. This? Hard pass. Maybe I'd buy it just to support IS.

(Such as Resident Evil 1 Remake.) I already intended on playing both at some point anyway. Edited October 22, 2020 by Samz707 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrightBow Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Shadow Dragon is a poor remake that only wins out because it's not tied down to an archaic NES interface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
