[Moonlight]

holy fuck this was unexpected

Also the character art looks incredible.

 

[LordKano]

Called it. They're gonna milk one last time that FE Engine.

 

[7Th]

Switch who?

 

[brandonh83]

This looks awesome.

Nintendo of America ‏@NintendoAmerica

#FireEmblem Echoes is inspired by the second installment of the series, Fire Emblem Gaiden, released exclusively in Japan in 1992.

 

[kadotsu]

Atelier Artist is getting work.

 

[ChemicalCutthroat]

Plus Amiibos! Effin' sweet man.

 

[Crono27]

new amiibos... nooo.... T^T

 

[Oregano]

Maybe 3DS is here to stay. WTF.

 

[DNAbro]

So Nintendo was being serious in saying 3DS isn't dead.

 

[bananafactory]

Still announcing 3DS games? Isn't it basically legacy once Switch is out?

 

[Vanille]

fuck yes hidari

Good riddance Kozaki.

 

[Realeza]

Can't wait for more FE goodness.

 

[SalvaPot]

Switch who?

Switch is getting its own game later on, development confirmed.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

So this is a remake?

 

[Richie]

...So, that assumption our part that they're all gonna focus on the Switch from now on, guys...

At least they confirm a brand new game for 2018, tho!

LOL Warriors a multirelease

 

[Naked Snake]

Yay *hugs 3DS*

Fire Emblem fans who sold or traded in their 3DS for Switch kicking themselves now?

 

[purseowner]

The art!

I adore the Atelier Dusk art, so this is a dream come true.

 

[Indelible]

Very cool, looks like the 3DS still has some life left.

 

[QuiteWhittle]

Atelier Dusk artist?

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

I hope the Echoes title means we'll be getting more remakes. Crusader Chronicles/Thracia 776 when

 

[thecouncil]

 

[dippa]

Fire Emblem Warriors coming to 3DS/3DS XL as well, which is neat. Looks like good dumb fun.

 

[jwhit28]

The death of the 3DS has been greatly exaggerated.

 

[SmackAttack]

WHAT? I just got home, this is AWESOME!

 

[phanphare]

nice

will possibly buy

 

[Ushojax]

eShop only?

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

The 3DS' death has simply been postponed.

 

[Jawbreaker]

Neat, I wasn't expecting to play another one on my 3DS.

 

[shoryukens]

Is this for Japan only?

 

[Rncewind]

But i thought 3ds gonna be replaced >:

 

[DNAbro]

eShop only?

I'm not sure why you would think that.

Is this for Japan only?

or that

 

[HotHamBoy]

Still announcing 3DS games? Isn't it basically legacy once Switch is out?

No, because Switch isn't a handheld.

Also, that's not how this works. GBA got games for years after the NDS released.

 

[Finale Fireworker]

But why THIS Fire Emblem? I never saw anybody talk about Gaiden in the ten plus years I have seen people pine for a classic Fire Emblem remake. Isn't 4 the fan favorite?

I may very well be very wrong, so please correct me.

 

[Strimei]

Is this for Japan only?

No.

 

[QuiteWhittle]

Is this for Japan only?

It was on the NA stream

 

[GSR]

Is this for Japan only?

Nope, worldwide release.

Surprising, but honestly I'm down for this. Never played Gaiden so it's good to see it get a remake.

 

[Qwyjibo]

I've never played the NES version but I'll probably give this a shot. I hope the story and characters are at least tolerable because FE: Fates was awful in this regard.

 

[YuriLowell]

Day 1.

 

[Kathian]

3DS is still selling very well. Fates just came out and its clear they are stretching the engine on the 3DS to some spin-off titles. 2018 for the next one on Switch seems really soon too me honestly - people wouldn't even complain if there was no FE at all this year ffs

Looks great though. I really like some of the ideas presented. Day One.

 

[ScientificPizza]

focusing on Switch development doesn't mean immediately abandoning all of your other platforms

 

[jj984jj]

This was a nice surprise. I'll definitely get it.

 

[meanspartan]

Hm.

So switch lineup is too barren, but they can't even make an upscale port of this on it? 3DS already has plenty of FE.

 

[Anura]

But why THIS Fire Emblem? I never saw anybody talk about Gaiden in the gen plus years I have seen people pine for a classic Fire Emblem remake. Isn't 4 the fan favorite?

I may very well be very wrong, so please correct me.

I've also heard not so great things about it, so I'm a little worried for it. I hope what I heard is wrong or they do overhauls.

 

[SmiteOfHand]

Was kind of hoping this meant an English VC release for FE Gaiden, but I guess that is wishful thinking.

 

[Flandy]

Coming out after the Switch? Nintendo pls

Can't it be on both?

 

[meanspartan]

Fire Emblem Warriors coming to 3DS/3DS XL as well, which is neat. Looks like good dumb fun.

To be clear, ***NEW 3DS only

EDIT - For FE Warriors, not the Gaiden Remake

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

Oh wow, those are some pretty amiibo.

I need to track down Roy and Robin someday (I have Marth, Ike, and Lucina)

 

[Derkon]

Nice to see 3DS will still have some legs! Will try and pick this up.
