Does anyone remember the Iwata Sakurai Asks for FESD ending with:
Magic[/spoiler] Shadow 12. Though the Iwata Sakurai Asks for FESD does have Narihiro calling Shadow Dragon the 11th installment.
For now FE:Subtitle, FEA or FE3DS are what I'd go with.
I seem to remember there being a bit more but interesting...then again the idea of FE characters making cameos in other FE games is hardly new (the 2nd installment being the first time though I guess Anna would be a better example or Jake in FE4&7)Narihiro said:
Wasn't Path of Radiance FE8 internally in files (header etc, I might not remember correctly) and so was Sacred Stones. Meaning there was no FE9 as Radiant Dawn was FE10. I'd go with whatever Intelligent Systems go with. I don't know if in the header Shadow Dragon was 11 and heroes of Light and
For now FE:Subtitle, FEA or FE3DS are what I'd go with.
Which actually makes a US release more likely as it proves Nintendo is considering conceding publishing rights to titles it isn't bothered with. Then again that could be another Polarium Advance or Cubivore event...
Yours for just $7.99. Horse Armor sold separately.marth??? where is dreamboat ike
"FE3 DS" and "FE 3DS" referring to different things could be mildly confusing. Though it would be FE13 3DS or FE11 3DS...oh this is mind-numbing...
I just wonder what will be done to it under the guise of "its too white".
Fixed. The Ambassador games are the same world-wide as it has IPs that are either relevant or Nintendo wants to make relevant and Sacred Stones is a decent primer.
Don't overcomplicate it. Path of Radiance was the 9th game released, hence, FE9 is an acceptable abbreviation.
Despite the name of the studio (which is irrelevant), Intelligent Systems is as much a part of Nintendo as EAD is. Fire Emblem is either going to be Nintendo-published or not published at all.
Which games on the ambassador list were not from already established and successful franchises?

WarioWare and all the NES games except Zelda II and Donkey Kong Jr.
Haven't all of the FE box arts been the same for every region?
Since3 when?
This game has surprised me. When I saw the reveal trailer I thought "meh looks like crappy animu to pander to kids." And while it still does kinda look like that... it looks like they're putting a ton more effort into this title than they have in any fire emblem game before it. I really hope it comes out here. I'm still disappointed they didn't bring over the second DS game.

I'm still pissed I never got to play FE7 on GBA. It's impossible to find anywhere for a decent price now. It's the only FE localized in NA that I haven't played

And my cartridge just died ;_;. Seriously if they release FE7 on the eshop they'll have a 3DS sale.I'm still pissed I never got to play FE7 on GBA. It's impossible to find anywhere for a decent price now. It's the only FE localized in NA that I haven't played
Also this game looks interesting. The tie-in with FE1-3 is neat. Not a fan of the art style or chibi graphics but everything else sounds pretty awesome. Returning characters would be incredible.

I'm still fairly optimistic of a NA release. Wait till E3.

Looks like I'll be getting my first Fire Emblem game.
Count me in =3
Frankly, no. I love FE but its the only one I can't seem to finish because its so damn boring. I would truly recommend Path of Radiance/Radiant Dawn or Fire Emblem GBA/Fire Emblem Sacred Stones. They are all much better games to start with.
For your first one, try Sacred Stones if you can.

I enjoyed Shadow Dragon but don't let it sour you on the entire series if you wind up disliking it. All of the other localized ones are far above it.
If you have to play Shadow Dragon, you might as well play it first since you won't miss any of the series features that came later.
Just be aware that it in no way represents the rest of the series except the most base mechanics. It's really bare bones, which is something that's to be expected from the first game in the series.
If you want a good entrance point that's more representative of the current state of the series, I'd recommend Sacred Stones or Path of Radiance.

god, no. Play Path of Radiance for the Gamecube or either of the GBA games.

This game is 100% coming to the US. People shouldn't even be wasting their time worrying about it.
Died? Was it damaged or something?
So is there any confirmation on the download characters or is it just speculation?

I doubt Xseed or someone else (like Atlus) will publish Fire Emblem. I can understand Last Story, but Fire Emblem is such a Nintendo thing that I don't see Nintendo letting someone else handling their baby.
I do feel good that NoA will eventually bring this over. Maybe they didn't want to take away the hype from Last Story's announcement and generate more buzz by letting NoE announce it first so that us rabid fans here in the US will cry out for it more, like a marketing strategy.
(Maybe I'm reading too much into this!)
Still waiting to see if NoA has any word on this.

Oh, dirty NoA. Scare your fans into marketing the game for you, and then announce a release date after they've gotten themselves all worked up. That's not nice
They confirmed paid DLC in the form of chapters, they confirmed characters from other games, but I don't think they actually said that those characters are the DLC. I think people are expecting extra characters as DLC though because if they aren't DLC, they'll have to be tied into the main story somehow and that would be crazyzzyzy.
Shadow Dragon is not a bad game. It's even a good introduction to the series, seeing as how it's the first game and all, and comes equipped with a new tutorial mode. However, it also lacks things introduced in the later games, like character development and interesting map design, and makes some questionable choices, like having to kill off half your soldiers to get sidequests. This makes people not so crazy about it. It's still a good game though, much moreso if it's your first FE, and it'll teach you the basics of the series. Then, it's all uphill from there. I say go for it.

It would be such a shame if this didn't release in 2012 for America as well.

Come to think of it yes. Some rather minor composition differences sometimes though which you won't notice unless you see them all side-by-side.
Anyone find it odd how Fire Emblem, a game only announced in the last six months, is so polished and near release when Paper Mario, a game announced nearly two years ago, is no where to be found?
It just seems weird to me that Intelligent Systems showed off Paper Mario in advance, but kept Fire Emblem (which looks like an incredible jump over previous entries) so secret. They must have just wanted to please North American audiences with the Paper Mario trailer.
Fire Emblem WILL come to NA though guys, don't worry. Just look at it. The production values are through the roof. DLS, co-op, cel-shaded graphics, fully animated/voiced, Nintendo hired one of the top animation companies for cut-scenes....
....they aren't going to skip N/A. If anything, this game sounds like they want FE to rise back to power!

I just want it to come out soon.
Man Paper Mario was announced around time the last DS FE was announced. Those games just usually have freaking long development times. While FE games are like 1 every 1-2 years. I wouldn't be surprised if another new Fire Emblem is announced and released before it came out.

Maybe they decided to show off Paper Mario first even though it was further away because it's Mario. Besides, there's always the possibility of delays because they're unhappy with certain elements and what not. Paper Mario on the N64 took what... 4 or 5 years to come out and changed quite a bit.
lol but I just don't get it.
Where Paper Mario appears to be using old assets and is more or less a sequel, the new Fire Emblem looks incredible and looks like a real jump in terms of graphics/gameplay.
I just don't understand how:
Paper Mario sequel announced two years ago is still in development.
where
Fire Emblem sequel announced 6 months ago and comes out in a week.
I can only be lead to believe Paper Mario has been put on the back burner at Inty Systems or they have some multiplayer, co-op, online, DLC craziness happening with it.

It's also possible that they showed Paper Mario just to have something to show for 3DS that said "all your favorite Nintendo games will be on the new platform".

I remember when Paper Mario was Super Mario RPG 2 (no, seriously thats what the title screen said). But Paper Mario is rather odd when it comes to development (Super Paper Mario was a Gamecube game, speaking of which FE:Radiant Dawn beat it to release...in Japan, I now forget if Radiant Dawn was announced before or after Super Paper Mario).
...I think its best to show something more complete.
Well given the last time they announced a Fire Emblem game before release it looked totally different, even to the point of being mistaken for an N64 game (okay, fine its just one FE fansite that mentioned that and people kept stating it as "FE64 screens"):
...I think its best to show something more complete.
Like the last Fire Emblem game did?
The last Fire Emblem game was a new, original title on a brand new system?
Maybe I'm wrong, but I could have sworn it was a remake of a SNES game with nostalgic value in the west on a system that had more or less run its course.
