Nintendo's latest software release date calendar reconfirmed Monolith Software's X and the Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem spin-off for North America and Europe.
Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE was a very different game a few years ago. In fact, at one point, it was a Fire Emblem/Pokémon crossover.
Ya no.
I like Fire Emblem. I like Pokemon. But that doesn't mean Fire Emblem X Pokemon is a good idea.
"Fire Emblem Fates released in North America last month and suffice it to say the game performed incredibly well in the territory. In its first month on sale, one version of the game reached the ninth place spot on the NPD charts. In fact, if you combine sales of Birthright, Conquest, and the special edition of the game, sales would have reached the top 3 for the month. Not only that, Fire Emblem Fates was so incredibly successful in its first month that it more than tripled the first-month sales of the second highest-selling game in the franchise: Fire Emblem: Awakening.
Meanwhile, the game garnered love from the critics. The current Metacritic average for Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright is an 87, while the average for Conquest is an 88.
With all this success from a supposedly “niche” franchise, Nintendo can learn quite a bit from the release of Fire Emblem: Fates. Perhaps if the company can take these lessons to heart, it can create more behemoths out of previously unappreciated franchises" -- Nintendo Enthusiast.
Fire Emblem is a Nintendo victory this gen. While in the past I shook my head at some of their decisions especially during the WiiU years,their direction with the 3DS has been phenomenal.
Got the Special Edition of FE Fates and it was worth every penny. 50 hours in and I have not even finished half of one campaign. Kudos to Nintendo.
While Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem failed to set the Media Create charts on fire in Japan, the game has been awarded the coveted Dengeki Online Award 2015 and has been dubbed an RPG masterpiece. You have yet to find out when the game will be launching over here in the west, but with such glowing praise it certainly can’t come soon enough.
I just hope Nintendo doesn't delay the games just cause rpgs in general are not selling well or because of some nasty glitch. This may be the perfect time to consider releasing Fatal Frame 2 and 4 in HD.
Kinda figured this was confirmed eons ago, but hey, reaffirmation is never a bad thing.
Did anyone doubt it? I mean they announced it in both NA and EU Directs
Yay! I can't wait for both games. Hopefully this is a sign of more jrpgs to come for the Wii U.
These might be the two best games released this generation.
