They are doing the Disney Vault way.

This is total crap.
There are no reason, outside of profit, to make those games available for a limited time in a digital world.

Yeah... the Vault idea sounds so stupid in 2020. It's better they if so REMAKE the games so they're worth to buy instead of putting them behind bars.

okay, Awakening was my 1st FE, how good is the Original FE?

VinsCool · Oct 22, 2020

The only interest I see in this is a .ips patch to apply over the original NES version.
It WILL be around forever

"Limited time only"

Hahaha jokes on you, Nintendo.
I won't pay for that shit, much less if it's limited.

Now, time to add one more asset to that NES romset collection

Yeah, there's Genealogy of the Holy War, Thracia 776, and New Mystery of the Fire Emblem, those are all SNES Japan-exclusive games. And New Mystery of the Fire Emblem was already a remake of FE1, but with a sequel added on. But Shadow Dragon only remakes the first game, not the new stuff from New Mystery. But the New Mystery content was remade into its own DS game, but that was also Japan-exclusive.

Not to nitpick, but the original SNES release was just titled Mystery of the Emblem, and the DS remake was titled New Mystery of the Emblem. You were right about everything else though. Mystery of the Emblem was made up of two “Books”, Book 1 was basically an SNES remake of the original game, albeit with some whole chapters/characters cut due to what I’m pretty sure were cartridge size limitations. And Book 2 was basically the sequel to Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light.

When they remade it on the DS, they ended up adding a bunch of stuff like new prologue chapters, characters, and even an Avatar/My Unit that was the precursor to Robin in Awakening. It’s a shame it was never released overseas, but there’s a very well-done translation of that’s been released that I think does the game justice.

Pirates winning once again. It's the natural order....

Well at least the scalpers wont be profiting off of it (for now anyway), after its pulled switches are probably going to pop up on ebay with this preinstalled for $400-500.
Still pretty shitty and anti-consumer from nintendo.

Just like other Nintendo Switch Online NES titles, this game will offer the ability to use save states or rewind functions. There will be a limited physical release, which will include a replica NES-style box, with an NES cart inside, though it is only an art piece, and not an actual playable cartridge.

This is a little unclear (to me at least); the physical release comes with a download code and no Switch cart.

Don't rpgs already have options to save the game? Also a rewind function on a rpg is definitely a huge cheat. People are gonna speed rush the game like there is no tomorrow.

Is this a personal attack?

Seems like a nice addition that could have just come to the NES classics app on the switch....

But that would make sense and this is Nintendo

anhminh · Oct 22, 2020

It's NES. Arguably, if they brought over Holy War, or any of the SNES Fire Emblem games, it'd be a big deal, since those are considered to be high points in the franchise, and niche games that deserve a wider audience.

doesnt make sense to charge they should have made it free... but hey maybe people will buy this

not me

Rail Fighter · Oct 22, 2020

When I'm 70 years old, maybe they will release Captain Rainbow in english, but only for a month.

pedro702 · Oct 22, 2020

remnber limited time physical releases? now we are even worse lol, limited time digital download codes? i mean wtf? makes no sence, this game wont even have a physical release, why limit its time?

well im okay with my ds shadow dragon remake so who cares.

No way Nintendo decided now to drop money on a new nes translation, I suspect like Mother 1 they have been holding onto this localization for years
