Support NeoGAF

I just kinda hope that's the reason Nintendo takes away from it because I don't want them to think that the art or something else caused it instead.

To be fair, it sold through most of its shipment, so it probably did as expected. Also, I think IS considers this a stopgap before FE Switch considering the relatively short announcement and quick release.

Plus I am sure even IS have certain expectations for remaking one of the least-known games in the series : P

I'd love to buy a new FE, but conquest gameplay was just so good that i'd rather just play it again.

Ahaha, I can't fault Conquest gameplay. That said, if you have the money to spare, I do recommend supporting Echoes at least. FE is big, but it'll still be in danger if we don't properly support it.

(Of course, I'm not saying you HAVE to buy it ^^)

Other big thing for me, is Valentia edition wasn't on the tracker.

If I was a hardcore japanese fan, I would be all over that. The DVD alone was worth it.

Nice. I'm looking forward to picking up my copy tomorrow evening.

True, even if they only sold 20k of those, that would've helped the numbers a lot.

I remember Fates was up midnight.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

I actually forgot this was coming out... which is weird, considering I'm a huge FE fan.

Anyway, I hope this delivers. Certainly more than Fates did.

Why was Chrom banned?

Review'll be up later this week but i'll say this for now: Fire Emblem has produced its best remake out of perhaps the more uneven entry in the entire series. That's an impressive feat on its own. That it manages to balance preserving the original's experimental design while updating the mechanics to be more beginner-friendly as well as improve the story (heck the fact that the story has any prominence) is even more so.

Too OP to make it in Smash.

Well, depending on what you want, it sounds like it may. Impressions seems to be that it's a step down in the gameplay department, but a step up with story and characters(not that that would be difficult, haha).

Hey you're right! I wonder why?

What was removed from the combat?

It was good to read those two opposing views.

I always like reading a critical review of a game that I enjoy and is generally well received. You can tell this type of game just wasn't up the Polygon reviewer's alley, and that's okay. I thought the content of the actual review was good, and just judging by the content I would've guessed he was around in the 8-ish area. He seemed to praise the game a lot and only had a few gripes, but I guess those few gripes were pretty heavy on the overall package.

You should post it soonish if the game unlocks at 9pm PST (though I'm not 100% sure it does).

From what I hear, it is quite different. There aren't any pair up machanics. Magic is learned through level up, and costs you HP to use. There is no weapon triangle.

Problem is I um kinda don't have the details. So I'm kinda at a loss lol.

Edit. Change of plans were having kuroneko throw up a quick one.

Yeah I just signed into the 3DS eShop, that's exactly when it says it gets released.

Review for WWG

Gave it a 4/5

Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia is a game that proves that novelty doesn't always beget quality. After Fire Emblem Fates left a strange and bitter taste in our mouths, Shadows of Valentia sweeps through and cleanses the palate like a breath of aromatic, freshly-ground coffee. Mmm. Yes, this is the good stuff. This is the curl-up-on-the-couch, Saturday morning brand of strategy RPG, and it's exactly what we've been craving.
