Fire Emblem: Akatsuki no Megami
02/22/07

 

[PolyGone]

holy sh!t @ the intro

 

[MutFox]

I REALLY wanna play this game, 1st day sale here.

 

[jj984jj]

I wanna play this game... but I don't wanna buy a Wii... damn you Nintendo for putting this Gamecube game on Wii.

 

[sprsk]

This looks pretty close to finished.

 

[jj984jj]

This looks pretty close to finished.

It should be since it launches in Japan next month.

 

[MutFox]

This looks pretty close to finished.

Yeah, I just hope the animation in the battles is top notch.

 

[AniHawk]

...Is that Ike in the first pic?

 

[No.1]

Looks good, but I feel somewhat hard pressed by thinking that the Wii is surely capable of much more (graphically). I love me some Fire Emblem though, so as long as the game holds up well with the GBA games, day one purchase.

 

[MutFox]

...Is that Ike in the first pic?

Looks similar eh?

Looks good, but I feel somewhat hard pressed by thinking that the Wii is surely capable of much more (graphically).

After seeing Mario Galaxy, yeah.

 

[JamieSI]

That intro is looking very nice!

 

[Deku]

FE games have never been graphically impressive and IS is really behind the times when it comes to even exploiting GameCube's hardware capabilities/ But this does looks like a GameCube game pressed into service for the Wii.

 

[AniHawk]

I hope the turnaround time on the translation is relatively quick. Historically, it has taken around 6 months or so to bring a FE from Japan to the US, and it'd be nice to have by summer instead of fall.

[Captain N]

This game is looking really nice and i'm pretty sure this will be mine as soon as it's released in Japan. I'm really bad about waiting for games.

 

[MrPonx]

I wanna play it

 

[AniHawk]

:lol

I can't believe I missed that.

 

[Mr. Pointy]

lol

At least Amir0x will be happy.

 

[Deku]

Yeah I missed it too. So this is not for Wii, or is this a dual release?

 

[jj984jj]

Yeah I missed it too. So this is not for Wii, or is this a dual release?

Only for Wii.

 

[Mr. Pointy]

Yeah I missed it too. So this is not for Wii, or is this a dual release?

It's still for Wii only, but it looks like it has GC controller support.

 

[jax (old)]

JUST LIKE THE GAMECUBE VERSION. wow.

 

[MegaTen]

Looks great. I'm looking forward to seeing that intro in motion.

 

[duckroll]

Well people wanted to know if there would be games that used the GC controller and didn't rely on any waggle at all and just used the stronger Wii hardware. So now when such a game exists I don't expect any backpeddling. It uses the exact same control scheme as the GC FE if you have a GC controller plugged in, is that a bad thing now?

The game runs at 60fps, and has better models than the GC Fire Emblem. It also has a tutorial mode, and Normal, Hard and Maniac difficulty options. There are twice as many movies as the GC FE as well. Fans should be more than happy. Not to mention they've also finally decided to introduce true 3D terrain in the game with differences in terrain height accounting into attacks.

 

[Mana Knight]

This game will make be buy a Wii. I liked all Fire Emblem's I had (although fog of war drives me nuts).

 

[basis]

any idea how long the game takes to complete?

Intelligent Systems have never been a graphical powerhouse, especially when it comes to 3D graphics. Their games usually have nice art though.

The game looks amazing. Can't wait... hopefully it's as good as Path of Radiance.

so does it include PoR? (like the 2ch rumors were saying)

 

[duckroll]

No, it does not.

 

[Mr. Pointy]

I was hoping FE10 would have Wiimote pointer support. Oh well, I have a Classic Controller and 3 GC pads, it's not like it matters.

 

[jarosh]

should be playable with only the remote, no nunchuk

 

[tanasten]

Why is there the Gamecube HUD on that user interface map?

Oh My God. Let's hope IS makes profit of the Wiimote!

Intelligent Systems shouldn't be behind the times, they wrote and developed a lot of the Nintendo Gamecube progaramming libraries.

 

[duckroll]

It has about 1.5 times the content of the GC FE and will take about 40-50 hours to complete.

 

[Tempy]

Can't wait. Now hopefully they'll make the Laguz worth using - well, at least I didn't particularly liked their phases.

The music in PoR is super awesome; hopefully this one will retain the same quality

You must not have played Seisen no Kiefu or Thracia 776. They had some of the best graphics on the super famicom.

And what Wii game doesn't look like a Gamecube game? They have the same specs except for extra RAM and bloom on the Wii.

 

[Mr. Pointy]

I am jerking off right now. If the game has full voice acting I might bust a nut.

 

[Tempy]

Let's not ****ing derail this thread into a Wii = GameCube+ discussion. This is about FIIIIIRRREEE EEEEMMMBBBLEEEEEEM!

 

[Vaporak]

It has about 1.5 times the content of the GC FE and will take about 40-50 hours to complete.

Totally awesome. This is one of the games I bought a Wii for.

 

[jepense]

...Is that Ike in the first pic?

Looks more like some Begnion general to me. (Like the guy who you leave in Daein in PoR.)

Game looks superb.

 

[Error]

*drool*

 

[Mr. Pointy]

Full orchestral soundtrack please IS. You have 8.5GB of room to fill up, you might as well make it all Yuka Tsujiyoko DPLII orchetral music.

 

[Conrad Link]

I......I........I.............uuuuuuuuh.

(can't wait)

 

[Saoh]

HOLY ****!

 

[Dimmuxx]

This looks fantastic!

I hope it gets released in europe soon.

 

[tanasten]

As far as the soundtrack ends being as half as good that Path of Radiance's soundtrack, I would be happy.

BTW, Who said nothing about the content and about the 40 or 50 hours of gameplay? That would meka sense and that would explain they aren't making a new engine for the Wii.

if (Making use of Cube engines == improved content for Wii games)

Cout << "Holy****ingshit for the modafaka win"

I just hope that the game isn't being overcomed with plenty of animations. Twilight Princess exceed of animations hurted my feelings.

Uh, it's probably that big because it will have Path of Radiance as part of the full game, or so the Germans would have you believe.

printf("Where's your ****ing semi colons?!\n");



Also the engine was vastly improved from POR at Nintendo's December events

 

[Smiles and Cries]

vids... must have vids

 

[tanasten]

printf("Where's your ****ing semi colons?!\n");

Mainly because the extra ram, but isn't improved on the output or the geomatry. BTW, doesn't care at all. I am into FE since 1992 (bought imported Monshuo no Nazo) and it's my favorite game series, over Zelda, over Metroid, over Final Fantasy, over my mother.

I just want the funfastic gameplay that the FE series have, and the excellent characters, plenty of beautiful girls

P.S: Oh shit. My C++ knowledge is dying. Should practice a bit.
