Fire Emblem Coming To 3DS

So THIS is obviously what Intelligent Systems was up to besides Paper Mario 3DS, eh?

Time well spent. I'll pick up both games. I'll import that damn Pink 3DS if I have to play this! :lol
 
Easily the best announcement at the show for me. Love FE, and a new adventure with Ike will bring a lot of the cool gameplay additions from Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn.

I'll be very mad if this doesn't get localized. It's pathetic that there's even a chance of that.
 
The beginning of the video clip made me see the map as a lot bigger and scrolling. As if it was one huge overworld.

Is this new to Fire Emblem? I just played the GBA versions. It looked awesome.
 
As long as it's not a remake and doesn't have the crappy graphics from the DS versions this could be a system seller for me.
 
Wait, is this another game with Ike? I never beat the Gamecube game and never even played the Wii one. I want them to play like 7 and 8 again :(

Super large maps aren't new to Fire Emblem. Genealogy of Holy War had maps so huge it has 10 chapters and is still as long as the other games in the series.
 
Since 3DS still needs games, I think NoA will bring this one over. 3DS's western line-up is still

I really hope this is localized. I'll actually be mad if it wasn't since it looks like a new Fire Emblem! I've been waiting for one of these since Radiant Dawn!
 
There's no way Mystery of the Emblem DS is coming to NA. I dunno about this new one but it's possible as long as they don't give up on the 3DS entirely in the near future.

I don't mind importing a 3DS to play this and SD Gundam G Generation, though.
 
Looks great! I'm very happy to see the awful graphics of the DS games gone, those just looked terrible. Hopefully the gameplay's better than the DS one released here too, it was disappointing compared to the GBA ones, or the GC/Wii duology. It is too bad that we never got the second DS game, but on the other hand the first DS one is my least favorite of all the US FE games, and I don't know if the second DS one is much better...

But anyway, this one looks quite good, even if the GBA sprites do have the best art this looks good too. I just hope there's a US release...
 
It's not a remake! It had Ike in it from Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn.

PoR, by the way, is fucking AAA best-in-series material. Play it, and get excited.

Then get angry when the game doesn't get localized, and write your congressman.

By the way, do I get credit for this or does Konami pulling out of announcing anything new basically make it all a wash
You're good, just because they are making those games doesnt mean they were supposed to announce them at this conference. For all we know they could show up at TGS or next year.
 
Yes! Hopefully it does not take forever until they bring it outside japan. Do we know anything how earlier titles have been selling in Europe and US?

It's odd because I think the casual mode would be perfect in getting new players into the series (especially those who do not like permadeath). If Nintendo markets it right, they could bring new players into the series with the difficulty modes + casual mode. They probably won't, though. I might as well get my own copy if/when it goes budget (or before that if it won't go budget).

This one is new (or looks to be new), so I hope they bring it over, even if I really miss the sprite art. I'd love a new FE story!

They need to bring over a version of Genealogy of War, though. That one is my favourite.

Looks pretty ugly, I think I prefer the DS graphics over this.
GBA I could understand, but the DS graphics were already fucking ugly. This 2D/3D mix is at least somewhat intriguing. I don't know if it makes sense if they don't add any new 3D gameplay mechanics during the combat, though.
Not sure if I want that, since I can't skip the combat animations then.
 
I was hoping they'd bring back the GBA spriteswork or a more detailed version of it. Those animations were godly.

This, not so much.
