This game is a must buy for 3DS owners and could potentially be a system seller for fans of the previous games. With the promise of DLC and the sheer content already packed into the game, Fire Emblem Awakening will be played for many months to come. Do yourself a favor and do the same.
Video game sequels like Assassin's Creed Origins, Doom (2016), and Fire Emblem Awakening were just what these franchises needed to be revitalized.
Lmao what’s Halo Infinite doing on this list?
Who would ever say Halo Infinite saved the Halo franchise
Thought the same - very bizarre!
RE7 though... my God, what a shift over RE6! That franchise was definitely going in the wrong direction, so RE7 was a welcome return to form.
Resi 6 was and still is the worst entry in the series.
7 was a great turnaround, despite people’s concerned about the switch to FP perspective.
DMC5 definitely helped the franchise after the whole DmC debacle. Whilst it was a decent action game, it was a far cry from the series and the characters we knew.
AC Origins is my favourite in the entire AC series. Despite the switch to a more RPG style of gameplay - the setting, soundtrack, length, etc were all amazing. sadly followed up by the ridiculously long and “more of the same” Odsyssey.
I don’t feel it’s fair to say the franchise slipped with Doom 3, Doom 3 was incredibly atmospheric and took the game in a different direction but there’s no denying Doom (2016) was sensational.
Halo 4 & 5 were disappointing but Halo Infinite definitely didn’t save the franchise? What?
I'm going to have to go with SMB 3. I was around when SMB 2 first came out and people hated it. 3 is still arguably the best mario game created.
"Halo Infinite"? Worse Halo ever. Whoever made this list just lost all credibility.
In future lists of a similar nature I have a suspicion Final Fantasy XVI will feature.
After becoming acquainted with the colorful cast of adults in Fire Emblem Awakening, the story soon turns into a tale of time travel involving the children of all these characters.
Are these the best Fire Emblem first-gen characters? Fire Emblem Awakening is not only filled with tactical battles and intense strategizing, but also colorful characters who sometimes fit into this medieval world and sometimes seem better suited to a slice-of-life anime.
This game makes me want a 3DS (as do many others) but I really don't like the color selection in the US for XL versions =\
Probably the only game I'd buy a 3ds for and just like the comment above, I'd get an XL but don't wanna pay that much for it. Fire emblem just gives me that old school shining force feeling 'cause it seems well executed and the animation and battles are nice to look at. Anybody wanna fork over a 3DS for free? lol
Wish I could even find this game. Would get it in a heart beat.
I played the demo and loved it. I had Shadow Dragon for the DS and enjoyed it. Unfortunately, I no longer own that one.
I'm torn. I have money stashed away for Animal Crossing, but the Demo has tempted me.
