Following yesterday’s Nintendo Direct teaser, Atlus parent Index Holdings has issued a press release officially announcing Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem for Wii U.
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.
They clearly thought the same thing too if it never went past just an idea and maybe some concept art from whoever pitched the idea. I agree though the two wouldn't work well together.
"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.
Yea I started with Birthright...got the SE, but I'm not even half way through it...not even close.
So much content in these games and I have 3 of them to play. Going to take my time with them.
* I'd love to see a brand new Nintendo IP strategy game for the NX console that is inspired by Fire Emblem & Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 2.
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 really hope it retains the strategy elements I liked in the previous games.
LOL, I guess based on the title screen in the preview some people maybe assumed it was a fighting game or something..
Yep , This is dissapointing , I was hoping for a first person shooter....
Fire Emblem is a system buyer for me.
Nintendo's Intelligent Systems is a great division.
- The stories are written well.
- The cut scenes are brilliant.
- The game play is easy to play but hard to master.
- Challenging.
The counsel version w/ Ike does not sell as well as the handheld version. So, hopefully the addition of Shin Megami Tensei both titles will sell more.
Plus, it is a good to see ATLUS and Nintendo back together again...
If Square(/Enix) gives WiiU a proper Final Fantasy I would think I was time traveling.
Atlus' Ogre Wars used to be a big game for Nintendo.
