Nintendo is officially localizing the original Fire Emblem game, only available for a limited time

Sure, I'll take it. For free.

EA - Rediculous microtransactions in full price games.
Epic - Exclusivity BS.

Then here comes Nintendo, telling them to hold their beer.

This is bad but it definitely isn’t worse than what ea does

who cares, even the remake was kinda lackluster.

NumberXIIIEdwin · Oct 22, 2020

I'm definitely buying this, but mostly because I want them to bring over the Binding Blade and Genealogy of the Holy War/Thracia 776. Mostly the latter. The Jugdral duology absolutely deserves some more love.

Fuck off with this bullshit Nintendo, there's literally no reason to do this. What kind of fucking company limits the purchase of a digital title??

As a long FE fan that has played every game in the series except or the 3DS titles (cause I never owned a 3DS), all I can say is "meh".

But what about Advance Wars?

To be fair on Nintendo they have made an effort here. The game hasn't aged well and is incredibly punishing by today's standards but the emulator they're including has some nice features to make the game more playable. The options to create bookmarks, fast forward and rewind turns save a lot of players' time and avoid much frustration.

They are also offering a limited edition physical copy which includes some nice extras. But Nintendo are cutting corners by including a download code rather than a game cartridge.

- Nostalgic, stylized physical NES box
- Replica NES Game Pak art piece with a protective sleeve
- Colourful, 222-page Legacy of Archanea deluxe hardbound art book
- Game download code
- NES instruction manual, newly localized from the original Famicom release
- Fold-out world map
- Mini Nintendo Power retro collectible.

I'd much rather FE 4, 5 or 6 though. Hopefully this is a hint of things yet to come rather than just a single release.

Okay, that’s it. I’m officially done. Nintendo has lost me as a customer until they get their act together. Taking something that has literally never been translated before and making it a limited time release is an all-new low I don’t even think the likes of EA and Bethesda have topped yet. This game literally never existed in the US before, and now you’re forcing it back out of existence as a limited time release. Fuck. You. I don’t care that this game was remade elsewhere. This is absolutely unacceptable, and I refuse to support a company who thinks this is okay.

There was the remake on DS, though.

I did bring that up in my comment. Even with that in mind, it's still not okay at all. Imagine if they did the same thing with Mother 3.

I'd rather have a remake.

What?
Translation Hacks never existed?
Also... Fire Emblem? rofl

Considering what Ninten-does... I wouldn't be surprised if someone finds that Nintendo is selling you a romhack they made with Lunar IPS.

LOOK GUYS, LIMITED OFFER YOU WON'T BE FINDING FIRE EMBLEM ANYWHERE ELSE

just in Smash Ultimate

Me too. But this is more about the principal than the circumstance itself.

Nintendo's limited time bullshit is the reason I have no remorse for pirating their games.

They can fuck off

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

That can still be valuable. People sold DL codes for MVC2 on the 360 and PS3 after it and other stuff got de-listed back in the day...shame said codes have to have expiration dates, tho.

Completely different circumstances. Blur was removed from the store because various licenses for vehicles couldn't be updated (since the dev studio closed down), not because they were artificially limiting availability. Nintendo is just being anti-consumer, plain and simple.

No. No you don't. We literally already have the remake, and you said that you didn't care, and now you're saying that you'd prefer a remake. You should be the one getting your act together. Mother 3 never had any remake whatsoever, so this is not a good comparison.

On topic, I personally don't really care? I mean, the majority of sale are made in the first two weeks of release of a game. If they want to make this release more special for the fans, more power to them. Limited time software is far from being something new.

I sorta find it weird that effort is going into localizing a old game instead of just remaking it. Trails of mana got localized and remake. Only question I had is why do both?

There seems to be too many safe decisions which is troublesome to spectate and witness. Not only safe but nonsensical. Localize old game instead of just using the most recent update. Make a new game or upgrade the recent one. Limited time purchase. Was there an anniversary that I don't know about? According to the screenshot 1990-2020 30 years, but not one word or mention about celebrating it was mentioned at all, only mario, If this is how they plan to "celebrate" it, I wonder what japan is getting...

It’s even more weird because they remade gaiden which ended up being one of the best 3DS RPGs in my opinion. I guess the argument can be made that they already did on DS....but I found that one to be really ugly lol

godreborn · Oct 23, 2020

I'm going to buy the game, but I do agree that the limited time stuff they've started doing is stupid. This is like store exclusive amino crap. I collect amiibos as well, but I'm missing like 20 due to that or not even knowing ahead of time.

Has an itch needing to be scratched.
