Support NeoGAF

[FireBeaver]

Tactical RPG featuring characters across the series and a new story. It also has original characters apparently. Gameplay is in portrait mode, with a sort of small 8x6 grid based map. There's also a weapon triangle system and so called "attributes." that characters have like the main games.

Oh yeah, you can also summon additional heroes using certain Items that you can earn through in game game play or buy. Not sure but from what I saw, summoning heroes is pretty much chance though you can manipulate who you might get a little. The number of stars demotes how strong that hero is, and you can level up and equip them with skills and stuff. Seems like practically a gacha game to be honest. I do like the new art though. In addition, a website will be up today that will let you vote on who you want to be in the game.

Android first.

[Mr. RPG]

This game looks awful...

Casuals are probably going to love this game though.

 

[K.Sabot]

THIS IS THE WORST

 

[Galang]

The hand drawn art is soo good. Here for it. Don't mind it being gacha at all either.

 

[_Ryo_]

Gacha AND portrait mode only? No thanks.

Nintendo is 0/0 on mobile games for me so far.

 

[YoungOne]

Gacha Emblem.

 

[infiniteloop]

looks alright, wish the maps were bigger

 

[Jpop]

You have my curiosity.

I can't say I am above a good Gatcha game.

 

[Rymuth]

Not digging the battle system.

Narration dropping his accent is funny, though

 

[JoeFu]

Rip my wallet

 

[ScientificPizza]

I like that Nintendo seems to be focusing on portrait mode for their games. It might not be the popular choice but, especially after playing the fantastic DQ ports, i've come to prefer a lot of games in that format

 

[kadotsu]

I wonder what high level challenges will look like with the small map size. It will probably just be power creep to keep #engagement up.

 

[Kathian]

Looks pretty good. Worth a try anyway.

 

[Vanillalite]

I'm not gonna hate. Many of you are gonna have lots of fun with this.

I'm at a point in my old life where gacha just isn't for me though and my valuable playing time.

 

[jtb]

Portrait only? ew.

 

[Dark Ninja]

Really looks good alot of work has gone into this

 

[Nightbird]

tbh, the game looks good.

I was always expecting it to be a gacha game, so I won't even pretending to be sad

 

[Ala Alba]

February 2nd on Android first?

Welp.

 

[ScientificPizza]

This game looks awful...

Casuals are probably going to love this game though.

ugh

 

[Hindl]

Looks great to me

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Game looks exploitative af.

 

[Yushi]

ahah android gets it first!

Ill take that over Mario Run

 

[Realeza]

Portrait only? ew.

Thank god

 

[Cruxist]

Bleh, portrait only. That's really annoying.

 

[Ray Down]

Android first

 

[cw_sasuke]

Google won.

 

[JoeFu]

EIRIKA

 

[Pachimari]

This looks so addicting. I'm in for sure.

 

[Jeiiya]

I'd be interested in something like a Final Fantasy Heroes, but I feel like the Fire Emblem IP doesn't appeal to me as much in this sort of format.

 

[Mr. RPG]

Google won.

Yeah, I was wondering why they were showing the game on a Google Pixel.

Looks like it is arriving on the Google Play Store first.

 

[Galang]

Aww iOS isn't first? I won't act entitled and wait.

The vote thing seems kinda useless... No way Marth will lose

 

[dkeane]

That looked fantastic. Wish they gave an iPhone date.

 

[CronoShot]

Yesssssss no Android delay

 

[Kouriozan]

Of course it would be Gacha, soon it'll be time to reroll!

 

[javac]

Android first, yeah boi.

 

[KHlover]

Full on whale hunting, now watch Nintendo make like a billion dollars with this.

This will get way better ratings than Super Mario Run.

 

[massoluk]

I guess I'll try it first. Hopefully the gacha ain't too excessive

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

apple why

 

[evanmisha]

Aww iOS isn't first? I won't act entitled and wait.

The vote thing seems kinda useless... No way Marth will lose

We're still waiting on Super Mario Run

 

[Complistic]

Looks great.

 

[Kingpin Rogers]

Looks great, I can see this being a good timesink when I'm waiting around in between classes. Looking forward to it.

Can pre-register!

Please add to OP?

 

[Lord of Ostia]

Honestly it looked great. Salty about not Apple release date though this is the one Nintendo mobile title I really was looking forward to

 

[Mariolee]

That looked fantastic. Wish they gave an iPhone date.

Ya'll got Super Mario Run first. Only fair.

 

[JoeFu]

Don't even care about Mario run now. That still aint on Android. Yay for FE first

 

[Moonlight]

I was excited for the game but I wasn't prepared to whale.

I saw Anna. Anna in glorious new character art. I guess I'm gonna whale.
