gorgeous

 

[Kunan]

I am thrilled that they kept the box art!

 

[slaughterking]

They better announce the EU release, too, or Shibata and I can't be friends anymore.

 

[Etzer]

Is this final boxart? Love it except the black box with the name.

Agreed. Bad font choice and I think the box should be centered if they insist on using it. I love the art, though.

 

[Samurai_Heart]

As someone who has never played a Fire Emblem game, does each game have a separate story or would I need to catch up?

Separate story but connecting worlds (spoilers probably)

Spoiler

I.e. the main Lord character is a descendant of Marth, who you might know from Smash Bros Melee and Brawl.

 

[zroid]

Here's Japan's, for reference:

The title box definitely works better here, but whatever.

 

[Mr. Fix]

Holy fuck, I didn't expect that this soon. Let's gewwww!

 

[CronoShot]

Japanese box, for comparison:

EDIT: Beaten.

 

[Pappasman]

edit: beaten

The black box on the NA cover looks very oddly placed...

 

[Sora_N]

DAY ONE

Spoiler

I have not played any of the FEs I own (2) or the one I borrowed for 6 years

 

[Samurai_Heart]

Here's Japan's, for reference:

Hmmm I like the slant title more =/

 

[Kazerei]

Is this final boxart? Love it except the black box with the name.

Not sure if it's final, but it probably is.

The Japanese boxart was similar, but NOA did a poor job re-doing it in English. The font for "Awakening" looks out of whack IMO.

 

[Neiteio]

Eh, the more I look at it, the easier it is to go digital. I'll just download the high-res title-free version of that art. Looking forward to downloading the game for my 32GB SD card on Feb. 4.

 

[ohlawd]

great art but the font is atrocious.

but this will be mine. FE:Awakening and Etrian Odyssey IV for February. What a godly month.

 

[zroid]

The tilt fits really well with the artwork, it's dumb they flattened it for North America.

 

[Seda]

Talking about FE on EU Stream now, date coming up?

 

[Seda]

April 2013 for Europe.

 

[Samurai_Heart]

April 2013 Nintendo Europe, your breaking my heart =( so many assignments by then.
Better then June or something at least...

 

[Jethro]

April... Fuck You.

 

[Man God]

So now that we're getting the pretender will Sega finally cave and release a real Shining Force game on the 3DS?

 

[boiled goose]

fix your account system and I'm in nintendo.

I've had an itch to get a 3DS, but unless I am confident about how digital purchases are handled, I can't justify investing in your platform.

 

[Emitan]

4 days before my birthday. I will probably just buy it on launch day anyway. So excited!

 

[kayos90]

Great that they kept the same design overall for the boxart. Very satisfied.

 

[vareon]

No mention of the DLC?

 

[The Awesomest]

As someone who has never played a Fire Emblem game, does each game have a separate story or would I need to catch up?

They come in sets. This game starts a new set, but is loosely a sequel to another set.

 

[soultron]

Fucking YES. Hyped as hell for this one.

Really enjoying being a 3DS owner finally now that there are tonnes of good (mainly Nintendo only lol) releases coming every few weeks.

 

[Mpl90]

NoA obtained to beat NoE on this one.

 

[Ricker]

Bought,day one...love FE.

 

[Seda]

No mention of the DLC?

NoE mentioned and showed several the the DLC characters. NoA did not (I'm pretty sure they didn't, unless I missed it)

 

[Ezalc]

Spoiler

Seperate story but connecting world, I.e. the main Lord character is a descendant of Marth, who you might know from Smash Bros Melee and Brawl.

Way to spoil things.

 

[vagabondarts]

I'm blown away this hasn't been addressed yet.

Where's the web app that we can use on any device to gift software on the eshop, miiverse on 3DS, accounts with saved purchases, etc...

 

[tuffy]

I'm going to have a busy February.

 

[Terra_Ex]

April 2013 for Europe.

Just wonderful, thank you region lock...

 

[FireVoa]

FE title in Feb and not later than I expected? Just take my money Nintendo!

 

[RPGCrazied]

Noooo, so close to Ni No Kuni, guess it'll have to wait. I'm going to get it though.

 

[Samurai_Heart]

Way to spoil things.

Thought it was well known plus the boxart spoils itself =p

 

[Seda]

Here's the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAmmCIcq4H8#t=24m43s

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

My most anticipated game of 2013. CAN'T WAIT!

 

[Javier]

February 2013 confirmed as best month for gaming.

 

[donny2112]

the box is beautiful. But... But I think I'll stay strong and go digital. :-\

Could always go both. Digital because it's just so convenient and box because you have to have the box. Works for me!

 

[Ushojax]

Two months before Europe. Normal service resumed.

fuck you NOE

 

[Ezalc]

Thought it was well known plus the boxart spoils itself =p

First I hear of this.

 

[Samurai_Heart]

Two months before Europe. Normal service resumed.

fuck you NOE

Ahaha but we get Devilish training =(

First I hear of this.

Marth on boxart, put 2+2 together basically, if you are the curious type, but I won't spoil anymore XD

 

[CSX]

Dem tears of joy rolling down my cheek

 

[donny2112]

So now that we're getting the pretender will Sega finally cave and release a real Shining Force game on the 3DS?

Have only played the first one on Wii VC (SEGA Christmas sale), but I much prefer the exact damage amounts of Fire Emblem rather than the "close to this" damage amounts in Shining Force. Makes planning actions 5 moves in advance that much more fun.

No mention of the DLC?

NOE presentation mentioned it, but I want them to confirm that it is all coming. Would buy it all. Isn't that enough to know, Nintendo!?!

 

[Chet Rippo]

Dear NoA,

Thank you for listening to my request.

[The Awesomest]

Way to spoil things.

It's not a spoiler. This is like, some of the first information we had about the game.

 

[Shaffield]

Oh my god, I am so happy we're getting that box art here. That is seriously one of the most gorgeous covers of all time

 

[WanderingWind]

I was not even aware this was a thing. I love you guys.

 

[C-Drive]

See, I kept thinking there was a reason I needed to buy a 3DS soon.
