OG is inherently better just because NES games are more interesting

It's not about the money. If they wanted to maximize the money they made, it wouldn't be a limited time release.

I mean I kinda view the 6 bucks as a localization fee. And hopefully if it's successful we'll get the other FE games and maybe even Mother 3

I was hoping for Echoes style remakes for the other older ones but I guess dead 3DS probably put a halt to that, oh well. I was recommended against getting Shadow Dragon so will probably leave this one too.

IIRC Intelligent Systems has said they do have an interest in remaking older FE games. So it isn't out of the question that we'll get more Echoes style remakes in the future. Especially since they can then release the characters in the Fire Emblem Heroes gacha for $$$.

I haven't kept up to date on Heroes in a while but they're fully capable of creating their own scantily clad waifu bait and making a dozen more alts of already popular characters. I hope you're right though, I remember people suggesting Genealogy for a remake and it'd be nice to go back to the pre-avatar days again.

I agree, $6 for an officially-localized title is a steal IMO. I'd love to see games like Shin Onigashima receive a similar treatment.

Nintendo's "Disney Vault" tactics lately are a bad look, though. Seriously, this isn't even going to be available for half a damn year?

I was preoccupied with the potentially bad implications about old FE remakes from this news, but now I'm thinking of what this means for the NES/SNES online libraries. They're already so much worse than Virtual Console and this just solidifies that if Earthbound, old FFs, SMRPG etc ever come to Switch they'll do so like this instead of being added to the 'free' ones. Nintendo has been especially greedy lately. Limited availability is so much worse and if this is a regular thing now...

The original version of FE1 is available via the Japanese NSO service. I don't think it's unreasonable to charge extra for a game that required a new translation. Limited availability is obviously garbage, though.

I mean in theory isn't that part of what people's online subscriptions would be paying for, for them to port this stuff over? (Cos that money sure as heck isn't going towards improving online >_>) Also is it confirmed to be a new translation or could they just have used the DS one.

the question is is that a risk you're willing to take

I'm not sure about this. I bought this game way ahead of games that have been sat on my "maybe i'll buy this next payday" list for years, and if it wasn't on a timer I may never have done.

Of course it's about money, what else would it be about? It's the same reason Disney Vault works, and a smart but evil way of creating buyer panic and artificial scarcity in an era where games are all online.

Yeah I've seen some theorizing that in March, we're getting new features in NSO. Probably either a premium plan that comes with extra games (seemingly 3D and loacalized titles) or just bringing back the Virtual Console eshop. I want to say the prior option is more likely, but I find it hard to believe Nintendo's gonna put a bunch of GCN games on a streaming service.

Im wondering how new the translation is, though, since they do have the one from Shadow Dragon available to start from. (This also makes me wary about getting my hopes up for other never-localized games getting this treatment.)

To be fair, even if they reused the DS translation it still couldn't have been easy to have inserted it into a 30 year old game. The text formatting looks great, particularly considering it was released during a time when game developers didn't give the tiniest consideration on how easy it would be to fit foreign languages into their text boxes, or even program it. $6 seems more than fair.

The lines from Chapter 1 in the trailer were different than from Shadow Dragon. The line from Chapter 2 in the trailer was the same as Shadow Dragon. So there are some changes but not everywhere. But it's possible the line from chapter 2 was just retranslated the same was as it was in Shadow Dragon.

I mean the first Fire Emblem honestly kind of sucks.

From what I can tell they still haven't added movement range tiles to this version, so you'll still have to count how far units can move in your head. Probably still have to do battle calculations yourself too. That matters way more to me than save states.

Probably still have weapon ranks randomly level up too, and healers not being able to earn exp unless they're attacked... this might not be a great buy.
