With modern QOL features. Interesting. This means its now much better than the remake. Still the weakest FE though.

Wait, they're updating this game too?

So, what's stopping them from doing this with other games? Hell, what's stopping them from translating stuff like Panel de Pon and Mario Picross? Both of those games have to be less text-heavy than FE1.

Actually, looks like it's a full eShop rerelease, not something being added to the NES Switch Online thing, which is what threw me off.

My main concern is limited release. This is probably going to become a trend with Nintendo.

Looks like theres going to be a physical edition as well with no cartridge. Someone said $50 for this edition but its not confirmed.

If you buy the digital version, its $5.99 on the U.S. store. Its a limited release.

They are basically just releasing an officially english translated emulated version of the first fire emblem game. Wouldn't require a lot of development time and most of the work was probably just translating the game.

Doesn't that mostly apply to FE4 too though?

The next game coming out is likely a Shadows of X remake. FE4 is one of the likely candidates for the next remake.

Shadow Dragon for the DS came out after the Tellius games, which themselves were really good. Shadow Dragon was a downscale comparatively. Character art looked pretty good, but they kept the story the same bog-standard affair with some added non-consequential content, including some more characters, some of which you could only recruit if other characters died (or were never recruited).

Like I think Athena is a great design and concept, but you could only even go to her chapter if your army had fewer than fifteen units in it.

They remade it for the NES, and then again for the DS, and then there was a remake of the NES remake on the DS, but only the first DS remake came to the US.

lol yes.

First FE1 came out.

Then later FE3 (Mystery of the Emblem) came out on the Super Famicom which was FE1 plus a second half of the story added on.

Then FE11 was Shadow Dragon, a DS remake of FE1 with some expanded content, but not the same expanded content as FE3.

Then FE12 (which we didn't get) was New Mystery of the Emblem for the DS, which was a remake specifically of the FE3 expanded content, plus the Satellaview content for Mystery of the Emblem, and also an avatar character which would later become a banner feature in the series going forward (Robin, Corrin, Byleth). Yes I'm aware FE7 had an avatar in the form of the Tactician, but they never actually fought.

Matter of opinion. I'm not saying it was the best but it's not NES character portraits.

The in-game art was bland but the official art used in promotional material and other stuff was pretty good.

I interpret this as Nintendo trying to elevate FE as one of its "deluxe" franchises due to its (relatively) recent success as a franchise. So no Mother 3, unfortunately.

Yeah, and it's also not helped that they have no real reason to promote the EarthBound series anymore; unlike with Fire Emblem, there will likely never be any more EarthBound games.

Yeah, seems like they've really been pushing Fire Emblem ever since Awakening's success. Smash Bros. is an obvious example, getting about as many playable characters as Mario and Pokemon.

And ugh...I really hope the limited digital release isn't gonna be a trend with Nintendo. This is apparently another anniversary release but still.

Which is deserved. In another timeline, Fire Emblem could have been with the likes of Metroid, Star Fox, and F-Zero and that would be terrible,

I hope they keep doing this with the rest of the series. It's a really awesome idea, just not with FE1 in particular, which is stupidly dated.

I'll grab it regardless since it's cheap and I'm a huge fan of the series.

Yeah, fair. Fire Emblem's got pretty good potential. The Gamecube era was great with all those IPs (even though Star Fox's entries weren't as great as 64), I miss it. :/

Yeah, there are so many good FEs that deserve some love.

4, 5, and 6 in particular could all be great for remakes. I love a lot of stuff about them all, but they all have some dated elements that could use some touching up.

There is speculation that a Genealogy remake is next, but I personally think an FE6 remake is more likely.
