$200 eh? Pretty sweet deal. I really, REALLY hope this comes to Europe. I reckon it'll be announced around March, since we're getting it in April.

It looks neat. The design is good, and the color is superb. That aside, it's coming with this game... Nice deal.

I may buy this. I played Path of Radiance, but not it's sequel since I don't have a Wii. I bought a Vita just to play Persona Golden(Also + member with free Uncharted/GR), and now I may buy the 3ds just for Fire Emblem. Not sure though if I want XL or not. I don't know if the size is that much of a big deal with me

I want it, but I already have a black 3DS, and if I bought another one I couldn't justify buying another 3DS over an XL.

I was hoping for a physical copy of the game just in case my SD slot weirds out, but I guess this works too. Love the art by the way!

10 Video Game Sequels That Saved Their Franchise

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

SullysCigar349d ago

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.

ModsDoBetter349d ago

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?

TheEnigma313349d ago (Edited 349d ago )

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.

HellspawnPR1981349d ago

"Halo Infinite"? Worse Halo ever. Whoever made this list just lost all credibility.

Hofstaderman349d ago

In future lists of a similar nature I have a suspicion Final Fantasy XVI will feature.
