Fire Emblem Wii coming to America + media
http://rpgland.com/content/?p=276 (8 pieces of visual work in total.) I've heard its not really going to use much of that Wiimote motion sensing stuff, which I think is great, because Fire Emblem doesn't need that shit anyway. Cool stuff. Long live Fire Emblem. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Wow, looks pretty awesome. It looks like the Wiimote is all you need in terms of control. It also looks like it's going to use the NES-Wiimote Control scheme of sideways Wii too, since Buttons 1 and 2 are used. Then again, I don't think the series ever needed much more outside of 2 buttons and a d-pad.
There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Damn, it took them along enough! I'll be purchasing my Wii on the day it's released; hopefully it's released this year. I prefer the NES-style controls as well, so thank goodness IS didn't feel the need to add some useless control scheme.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Awwww snap, the Wyvern Rider in the second pic looks like JILL. <3 I hear a lot of the characters from the original return, including the

Only game I'll ever buy for it, confirmed. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? #654: Braixen

Virtually every character returns in some capacity, even guys who had no roles (one of the primary antagonists is a guy who had maybe all of 30 seconds of screentime in Path of Radiance). I was wondering when they'd officially announce this.
Somewhat decent day of Nintendo news. I was speaking idiomatically.

I've owned Path of Radiance for ages and I'm still only up to around mission 7. At least this is a good incentive to finally start playing it again.
What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
Why are we talking about strategy gamesin the RPG Forum? Just because Fire Emblem has crappy storylines involving princesses and mercenaries, doesn't make it an RPG.
FELIPE NO |
unless you really are that dumb, in which case i feel sorry for you Most amazing jew boots #654: Braixen |
RABicle doesn't even know what Fire Emblem is, he just wanted to post here to sound cool. Don't worry about him.
Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Who here really knows Fire Emblem, though? It's an old series that's really only just begun in other regions.
There's nowhere I can't reach. |
The first Fire Emblem game I've played was Fire Emblem 4 (SNES), which just blew every single tactical RPG game since out of the water (save Final Fantasy Tactics).
As for being an RPG, I call most turn based game with some levelling system an RPG, so it fits my definition. Anyways, this has only been announced right? Or is there a tentative release date already? How ya doing, buddy? |
This game was announced back when the Wii launched. It was just given a release date of November 5th yesterday. Not far off, though I'd been hoping for a summer release.

I was hoping for a closer date, but Nov. 5th is fine. Hopefully, by that time it won't be too hard to find a Wii.
Hmm. It's released one month before Smash Bros., which means it'll mostly be ignored. That's too bad. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
God fucking dammit! I went to Wikipedia to confirm if this was true:
So, yeah. The story is going to be awesome, so do yourself a favor and don't go to Wikipedia to read up on anything. You'll be doing so at your own risk! FELIPE NO |
And then there's the fact that every Fire Emblem story boils down to the same thing: Good looking people fighting Ugly people. If one of the bad guys is good looking, you can be sure that he or she is questioning her orders or sympathetic to the goodies cause. It sickens me. Pfft Path of Radience. THere was taht big guy right? i dunno he was the leader of your band of sell swords and like, I dunno we were in some cave and he and the bad chick found some inexplicable reason to leave and battle alone or some nonsense. He was a leader of the other side toow asn't he? Couldn't see taht shit a mile off. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
How ya doing, buddy?

Yeah, I'm not following this. Why even single out Fire Emblem for these things when most of what you said are staples of JRPGS in general? Oh right, because you are a stupid fuck who says Fire Emblem isn't one (lol!) and then goes on to decide that the series is a piece of shit despite it's raging popularity in and OUT of Japan. My mistake. I thought I was discussing this with someone that mattered.
Generic really covered the rest, especially that last bit where you pretended to predict the storyline and ended up being completely wrong. Good show. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Fire Emblem plays out almost exactly like Advance Wars. It's a strategy game. I don't see why you guys think that me calling it a strategy game makes it any worse, I love strategy.
But I sure as hell don't play Fire Emblem for it's story. Sometimes I even get sore from cringing so much. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
You didn't really answer me, though. Did you at least read a story synopsis? Even I'd admit that none of the Fire Emblems start off with any real originality.
I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
Of course I didn't read it.

Few threads have seen one make a bigger jackass of oneself than RABicle in this one. Bookmarking now.

I love how you pretend a series can do amazing in Japan and then be a raging success for the GBA when it finally comes out in America, along with each entry afterwards still selling 'good to excellent' and pretend that could be any sort of indication other than the series is good.
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
A lot of things sell well even if they aren't quality. Final Fantasy. Fords. Budweiser. iPods.
What's your fucking point? Jam it back in, in the dark. |
