Esaka Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 This is great. Not only is this a great way to open up the casual crowd about FE and help sales, especially since it's so easy in comparison to other games. But it's also going to increase interest and thus increases the chances of FE13 coming stateside. Not bad Ninty, not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celice Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 A casual crowd didn't pay an absurd amount of money for a system with no games. That means they didn't get the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 A casual crowd didn't pay an absurd amount of money for a system with no games. That means they didn't get the game. Neither did the hardcore crowd. HEY-OH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esaka Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 Hah, fair enough. But it does open up the crowd. 4,000,000 people bought the 250$ 3DS FE sells about 300,000-400,000 worldwide if I recall correctly? That'll surely help sales.

HF Makalov Fanboy Kai Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 ok then i'll start off. personaly dispite how easy the game is, i do find it enjoyable sometimes, but a very good starter game to newer players, as i think i might've sold my best friend to the series since he really likes this game and Shadow Dragon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Book of Ereshkigal Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I'm happy with this. As I lost my copy of FE8 which broke my GBA trinity I had going on. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mousefire Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) Wow, I've got to admit it. This is quite a surprise. I doubt this will push Fire Emblem anywhere near the mainstream, but it's a very nice gesture of faith by Nintendo . I just looked at the rest of the line-up. Nintendo did not half-ass it at all.

Esme Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 When I finally figured out how to get my 3DS' internet connection to work, the AP was already over. This sucks, man. :< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esaka Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 Just mentioning one thing. The bigger screen is great for FE8. The artwork is great in detail, not too small to not appreciate like the original and not too big to be all pixelated (a major gripe for roms) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deuxhero Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Given the list is the same for all regions, no chance this means FE12 has any chance of not getting boned by NoA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Marth 64 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 (edited) Given the list is the same for all regions, no chance this means FE12 has any chance of not getting boned by NoA. I still think they might still be working on FE12's translation, I heard that the Xenoblade Chronicles was released in Japan in 2010 and they are going to release the NA version on April 2012 was 2 years after the Japanese Release and also the Pokemon Red & Blue for the Game Boy was released in Japan in 1996 and US in 1998, Super Mario Bros. 3 for the NES was released in Japan in 1988 and US in 1990, and the Professor Layton #2 to #4 (#2 was released in Japan in 2007 and US in 2009, #3 was released in Japan in 2008 and US in 2010, #4 was released in Japan in 2009 and US in 2011 was released 2 years after the Japanese release. So, there might be a chance that they might be going to be release on Outside of Japan some how, possibly next year.

eclipse Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Whoa, enough with the bold text! I get the feeling that this was a tester of sorts. I haven't given up faith in a NM localization by the pros~! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The artwork is great in detail, not too small to not appreciate like the original and not too big to be all pixelated (a major gripe for roms) Emulators have built-in filters to mitigate pixelation at larger resolutions, if for some reason you're against it. And the filters are based on actual shading algorithms meant to smooth out pixelated images. The 3DS just blurs everything out of proportion :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurabolt Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I got it myself. I still have the original GBA version as well as the ROM. FE8 is my favorite handheld FE game so...yeah. The 3DS screen is slightly bigger compared to all 3 GBA variations (Original, SP and Micro). Still, gettingh FE8 inspired me to finish my Sacred Stones Fanfic ^_^ I didn't like most of the other Ambassador games (only FE8 and Metroid Fusion interested me) but I'll deal. I played them all before so...yeah >.>; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Book of Ereshkigal Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 (edited) I don't mind the resizing. It doesn't look too horrible. Edited December 17, 2011 by L95 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jave Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 You can also play in the original resolution by holding SELECT or START when starting the game from the menu. The size is the exact same as the Game Boy Micro, since both consoles have the exact same DPI. This is great, though. Any exposition FE gets outside of Japan is good exposition.

King Marth 64 Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 (edited) I checked the Nintendo eShop and the Description said: "Original Release Date: May 2005 The kindom of Renais lies in ruins, shattered by a sudden invasion from a former ally. Guide the royal heirs, Eirika and Ephraim, on their twin quest to rebuild Renais and discover the dark secret behind the war that has torn their homeland apart. Prepare and build your army! Will your cavalier become a paladin, or will he sacrifice speed for power and become a great knight? With multiple class-changes to choose from, how your characters level-up is up to you! Plan your strategy to take advantage of your strengths and exploit your enemy's weakness. Guide your soldiers carefully--if they fall in battle, they're gone forever!" And I checked the File Size on the Nintendo 3DS storage, its 140 Blocks. Edited December 18, 2011 by King Marth 64 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
