And suddenly my Fire Emblem Musou joke prediction was one-upped by Nintendo, IntSys, and Atlus.

Day 1

[scy]

What's up with Fire Emblem lately, anyway? Felt like Shadow Dragon forced the series back into Japan for a while there, now we've got a brand new game releasing very soon and a big collab title for a home console. Crazy.

This puts the Fire Emblem Awakening marketing push by NoA into perspective though. I mean, now it ties right into a big name JRPG title for the Wii U.

[froliq]

Damn, I'll buy a Wii U in a heartbeat if this turns out to be good.

[suzu]

What the.. SRPG?

Now I have to get a Wii U? D:

[buddha0991]

Strange Journey demoted, yet character in SJ DEMONICA armor in SMT 4, what to make of that?

[NeonZ]

The credits at the end listed Intelligent Systems, Nintendo and Atlus, so I think this will be either an RPG or a SRPG, not a fighting game or anything else, considering the developers involved.

If they're going for some kind of "All Stars" line up, SRPG seems more likely, considering the bigger cast. It's really unexpected to see the first HD Fire Emblem being a crossover like this though. If it IS a SRPG, I hope they have something like the spotpass characters in Awakening to give representation to secondary FE characters too, not just lords. If it's an RPG though, I wonder how they'll be handled. Just the lord line up in the teaser seems pretty big.

[kayos90]

Is today real? Really. Like.... this is not a dream, right?

[EVOL 100%]

Strange Journey demoted, yet character in SJ DEMONICA armor in SMT 4, what to make of that?

It feels really weird to me that they left out SJ and left in If.

[SnowHawk]

Oh it's Atlus.

No EU version confirmed.

[Aostia]

Considering they have been making this series: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53M8PwCgdis Id say both

good reply. thx!

[jj984jj]

Shouldn't they just ask Atlus to make a Wii U SMT instead, and they also do a full FE on Wii U? That would be preferable to me, rather than a collaboration that won't be a serious entry in either series. I'm sure it can be awesome in its own right and I'd play it if that happens if I then have a Wii U, but still. Maybe it's setting the stage for separate titles... That would be rad.

But then it probably wouldn't have happened, at least not the SMT stuff.

[scy]

Is today real? Really. Like.... this is not a dream, right?

Don't wake up.

It's a scary world out there.

[kai3345]

Oh man, if this comes to the US, this might actually make me buy a WiiU

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Even more hyped for FE next month.

[Nohar]

Flat What.

... I'm not jumping on the hype train until we have gameplay footage and the confirmation that this cross-over will be released outside Japan (namely, EU).

... Gosh, this train is so beautiful, I really want to get on board...

[luokyl]

Oh it's Atlus. No EU version confirmed.

Oh god don't even joke about this.

[MechaX]

Strange Journey demoted, yet character in SJ DEMONICA armor in SMT 4, what to make of that?

Probably just a lapse (or for the actual trailer, they just wanted to stay to main line stuff). I'd wait for a bit to see what other characters on the SMT side come in, like whether spin-offs like Devil Survivor 1/2 and Strange Journey comes in. Hell, when considering that Nocturne never even showed up on a Nintendo platform but yet the Demi-Fiend is obviously in, it is possible that other PS2-oriented folks could show up (Persona, Digital Devil Saga, Raidou).

[PuppetSlave]

This could be utterly wonderful, or very very horrible.

Day 1 either way :P

[Haunted]

Putting the Persona 4 Arena engine and assets to good use.

I think it'll be a fighting game a la Marvel vs Capcom.

[EVOL 100%]

Putting the Persona 4 Arena engine and assets to good use. I think it'll be a fighting game a la Marvel vs Capcom.

That was developed by ArcSys, not Atlus.

Also apparently IntSys are working on this too.

[braves01]

Putting the Persona 4 Arena engine and assets to good use. I think it'll be a fighting game a la Marvel vs Capcom.

That would be a cool surprise.

[Kouriozan]

Oh it's Atlus. No EU version confirmed.

But it's Atlus AND Nintendo.
This game will be interesting, I can feel it.

[Hot Coldman]

I think you're insaaaaaane

[Ifrit]

What a pleasant surprised, suddendly I'm interested in getting a WiiU

if someone around here says he saw it coming, he's lying

[Jucksalbe]

Oh it's Atlus. No EU version confirmed.

It's was on the European Nintendo Direct, too. So it's probably coming.

[Pikma]

Oh god don't even joke about this.

It's ok imo, don't forget this was a ND focused on 1st party software, that means they're publishing it.

[Zeer0id]

Oh it's Atlus. No EU version confirmed.

Nintendo will probably publish it globally. At the very least, they will in Europe if Atlus is elsewhere.

You're killing my excitement man :(

[ShockingAlberto]

Oh it's Atlus. No EU version confirmed.

There is no way Nintendo would allow Atlus to publish a game with Fire Emblem characters in it.

[vareon]

This somewhat implies that SMT IV is going to be localized, no?

[Schadenfreude]

The fights will be super one-sided. A lot of the SMT characters get up to god levels of power.

[Kusagari]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!

[extralite]

This announcement should also (or maybe mainly) benefit SMT4 on 3DS. FE Awakening was a huge success and if its fans will become interested in SMT4 to see what the world from the upcoming cross over is about they might try it now even if they didn't have a reason before. Could give SMT4 a nice minor boost.

[Hot Coldman]

I'd be surprised if that didn't happen. Atlus US branch not publishing their JP overlords biggest game in years?

[buddha0991]

^Dude, SOUL HACKERS is coming here. SMT4 is basically a guarantee.

Game is co-developed by Intelligent Systems, I have no doubt that its at least not a fighting game.

[DXB-KNIGHT]

I don't know what to think about this. I wonder what kind of game it is. Hopefully not a fighting game.

A crossover fighting game while Smash is around the corner seems unlikely in my opinion.

[CSX]

I woke up to see this...

Am I dreaming?

[HK-47]

Putting the Persona 4 Arena engine and assets to good use. I think it'll be a fighting game a la Marvel vs Capcom.

Not even once

[Red_taiyaki]

As soon as this game gets announced for a localization, I'm bending over and giving Nintendo 350.00.

[Niahak]

This seems much more promising than Pokemon Conquest was, since both are really great series. Really looking forward to hearing more.

Hopefully it integrates concepts of each game more fully than Conquest did. It was pretty disappointing when it was a TRPG with only very light grand-strategy elements.

[Phatmac]

Smart move by Nintendo. This'll surely get a ton of hardcore gamers to buy a Wii U.

[Hero]

Iwata wasn't kidding last year when he said they made collaborations with several third parties to ensure new games on the Wii U. Bayonetta 2 was just the beginning.

[Sorian]

Flat What. ... I'm not jumping on the hype train until we have gameplay footage and the confirmation that this cross-over will be released outside Japan (namely, EU). ... Gosh, this train is so beautiful, I really want to get on board...

We brough snacks on board this time. We figure it'll be a wait so we ordered a cot for everyone as well. It's nice and comfy and I don't see a cliff coming for miles :D

Hopefully true :)

[Wilsongt]

What the flying fuck?

Wii U just won.

Day -1000 purchase.

[Dantis]

I just realised that there's no chance of P5 being announced any time soon now.

Balls. :(

[Ponn01]

I would buy a Wii U if this is a RPG and if it gets localized to U.S.

This will never get localized to the U.S.

[Currygan]

whet the fuck is going on?

Did I just miss the greatest Nintendo Direct ever?

[Nexas]

Needs more Raidou.

[Lin Siniang]

This is out of left field.

Not that it's a bad thing.
