obligatory new art style killed fire emblem

damn feminists

 

[slaughterking]

Why didn't we hear about this at the show? Because they had to show us NSMB 1.5. Or was it the Wii game? Or Wii U game? I don't even know, they all look the same to me.

Anyway I'm glad it's coming. I have a soft spot for these games.

That's the real problem for me. It was completely out of the question that Fire Emblem Awakening would not come to the west, but I hate how much of an afterthought it is (among other things).
It's not one of Nintendo's top priorities. I get that, but is it too much to ask to let the most enthusiastic part of your fanbase know what's going to happen with a game like that? And maybe not take forever while you're at it?

 

[TheUnknownForce]

Why they didn't talk about it: 2013

 

[DGRE]

M-M-M-M-M-M-M-MEGATONNNNN.

This is awesome. E3 still sucked, but this is good news.

you leave miyamoto out of this

 

[XeroSauce]

THIS IS DELICIOUS.

Seriously this is fantastic god damn news. Holy crap.

 

[Javier]

Fire Emblem is trending topic on Twitter. Shit got real.

 

[mclem]

People thought that was Michael Pachter?

ROFL

I thought they had a better view of the reserved seat in front of him. It's a Mich... of some description.

 

[Emitan]

Code of Princess?

Fuck yeah I want that.

 

[Divvy]

I do not understand Nintendo marketting anymore.

 

[Majukun]

wasn't that given?
the problem is WHEN

"NOT a joke: Reggie told me straight up that Fire Emblem is coming. I even asked twice!"

 

[frequency]

As much as we love Fire Emblem here on GAF, it's a niche title. Nintendo is probably not too worried about niche fans in their conferences.

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

One piece of good news and they couldn't even bother to say it during the presentation. Good job Nintendo

I know, it's so ridiculous. I just cannot for the life of me understand NoA.

As much as we love Fire Emblem here on GAF, it's a niche title. Nintendo is probably not too worried about niche fans in their conferences.

I honestly don't think it has to be a niche title, though. Maybe if they would actually show some support for it the series would gain some new fans in NA.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Nintendo wins!

 

[Wilsongt]

Well done, NoA. Well done.

 

[madp]

i'm gonna assume NoA is piggybacking on the NoE localization like they did with all the Operation Rainfall games.

I could be wrong, but didn't NoA's Shadow Dragon have a different localization than NoE's and it still came out three months later? There's an equally-high chance of Nintendo just not giving a fuck and putting Awakening on the absolute farthest backburner that they can as there is of them simply piggybacking.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

I'm happy for current 3DS owners.

 

[BassForever]

Best news of all E3!

[Salsa]

Now make the game 2D again

 

[kittens]

Normally I would get defensive about this pic, but after Nintendo's E3 showing, all I can think is: LOL.

 

[Bullza2o]

All they needed was to simply mention the game. Just saying "Hey guys, I hear you like Fire Emblem," and the whole world would have celebrated.

They should have copied Iwata's announcement of Smash Bros for Wii U, when even Sakurai didn't know about it (not sure If I'm correct here).

 

[Zee-Row]

Finally

 

[ShadowElliot]

Nintendo, I give you thanks for wiping my wallet clean with your games.

Paper Mario, Luigi's Mansion, New Super Mario Bros. 2, etc, etc, etc... FIRE EMBLEM!

 

[OmegaZero]

Best news of E3?

 

[Shockamoto]

<------- checks Twitter in traffic, turns car around and abandons plans to sell 3DS! E3 is saved!!

 

[Mr. Fix]

E3 redmeemed.

 

[Knux-Future]

Best Nintendo is after the Conference Nintendo.

P-100 and now this.

lol

I was 50% sure when I opened this it would be a video of the threediots preview. I'm going to have 'nam like flash backs of that shit the rest of my life.

 

[Oni Link 666]

You guys are fortunate. I wish Layton was confirmed.

Turn off battle animations and the units are sprite based. Who plays with battle animations on, anyway?

Yeah, seriously. I'm actually hyped for the Wii U because of what I've heard after the conferences, not at all from the conferences themselves.

 

[fly high ~ayunite~]

How did Radiant Dawn do in the US? I don't think NoA considers it a blockbuster enough series to highlight in it's media briefings.

 

[Dark Schala]

Some of the best news outta E3. This is exactly what I wanted and I got it.

Paper Mario, Luigi's Mansion, and Mickey.

Fix'd. And Zero Escape and Code of Princess.

As much as we love Fire Emblem here on GAF, it's a niche title. Nintendo is probably not too worried about niche fans in their conferences.

Maybe if they actually promoted the series more, it'd do better over here.

 

[Data West]

Cool, now just give ma 3dsxl to play it on. I got these big hands.

 

[slaughterking]

No problem, but after the last couple of E3 conferences they always released their press kit with images and tentative releases dates for not-so-important games. For example, usually we would have English Layton 5 screens by now, and something like Fire Emblem would fit right next to it.

 

[bon]

What's the next game that we can assume NOA isn't releasing until they announce it a couple months later?

 

[Kincaido]

FINALLY, this is what I wanted to hear. Hoping for early 2013.

More proof! ^

 

[Freezie KO]

Reggie thought he was asking about the NSMB2 fire flower.

 

[WrenchNinja]

It's one fucking line. No one was able to say it at either conference where thousands were watching? One line? Who gives a shit if it isn't a 2012 title. Jesus Christ.

 

[Tashi]

Seems like a 2013 title if they didn't mention it in the Conference just now. Damn, that would have made 2012 an epic fuckin year for 3DS.

 

[Kusagari]

Layton's one thing I wouldn't worry about at all. I'd be shocked if it doesn't come over eventually.

 

[Levyne]

Are we gonna co-op? Let's co-op!

 

[Dark Schala]

Pandora's Tower.

lol.

We could co-op. Might get it a few weeks/months after release, but maybe co-op.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Treehouse is doing the English translation.

 

[Femmeworth]

damn feminists

 

[MidnightScott]

So far they have released all of their games in all regions on 3DS so I think we have a safe bet to get most games unless it's Tomadachi Collection
