Hey Poor Player's Jack Hills writes - "In 2013, Nintendo brought Fire Emblem: Awakening to the west, the game itself was praised by critics and players alike. I myself got the game back in July and enjoyed almost every second of it. So with Awakening still fresh in my mind, I dove into Fire Emblem Fates, hoping for an experience at least on par With the previous installment."
The top 10 rarest 3DS games of all time are probably ones you both did and didn't expect. Especially if you had these games!
I have Fire Emblem Fates LE, the European one. Not sure if it's as valuable as the US version, but it certainly was in high demand.
Its not often I actually have games on the 'most expensive list' but I do own Rhythm Thief and Layton vs. Ace Attorney. I believe both of them are sealed as well.
Nice! Hopefully they re-release the Layton games on the Switch. Surprised they haven't already
Fire Emblem Fates and Fire Emblem: Three Houses both contain multiple routes that change the outcome of the story, but the 3DS games far outperform the most recent Fire Emblem game in regard to routes. classes, and difficulty levels.

Looks like another worthwhile entry in the Fire Emblem series
Solid review. I'm glad to hear the differences between versions don't distract too much from the game as a whole.
I put every other game on Hiatus until I finish Conquest, Birthright and Revelation (in that order). No matter what system I play on or what the latest AAA game I always find myself taking time out to experience the Fire Emblem series. It's always worth the effort.
I like it. Best thing is 70 chapters of fire emblem! Its fun and has tons of content.
What I don't like is everything else. Story is atrocious. It's really bad. The characters don't help either. They're all boring without a single stand out character like all the past games had. Don't like the world either. It's very inconsistent and the game does too much. A time consuming yet pointless my castle system. A rediculous alternate dimension only shoehorned in to explain how children are possible. Its awakening minus the great characters, awesome cutscenes, good story (arguably) and it just throws a bunch of needless fluff at you.
The gameplay is solid though. Its awakening 2.0 with a handful of different objectives to spice it up. Def not as tight and balanced as POR/RD which I consider the gold standard for not only fire emblem but all Srpgs. Its easy to plow through and I miss objectives and bonus experience although that's a personal opinion.
Its more fire emblem. Def won't look back with nostalgia like when I remember the serenes forest map that's 4 maps in one or the stealth mission where being spotted equals a failed mission or the awakening map where you fight in the rain with beautiful music after a huge story event went down. This game has no standout maps or moments like past games for me (so far still have to play revelations). It has no memorable characters like Chrom, Marth, Ike, Lissa, Tharja, Frederick, or Kellam. Its a huge step down in characters and story sadly.
