Rumour: New Fire Emblem Games for the 3DS

[pom013]

There is a rumour flying around the interwebs, and like any good internet rumour there isn't a shred of credible source material to back it up. The source of the rumour appears to be this gaming site which states;

[Pagan's Mind]

If it's true then I think it's time I picked up a 3DS.

[Priscilla]

I hope it's true as it has made me want to pick up a 3DS even more!

The rumour seems completely baseless, but a 3DS Fire Emblem game is inevitable. So it works for me.

Completely baseless. As I pointed out everyone is referencing that obscure little game site and it's doesn't name a source, not even an obscure claim that they know someone who knows someone on the inside.

Rumours are fun though and fire emblem is awesome.

I'd buy all the the 3DSes in the world for this. The odds of it being true coupled with the odds of a localisation are kinda slim, though. Still, Intelligent Systems should be doing something with themselves, right?

I hope a 3ds version comes out, never got the ds version.

I'd rather they localise the second DS game first...

I still gotta play Shadow Dragon and Radiant Dawn though.

Here's the trailer from the announcement during the week. YAY!!!

Who is optimistic about localisation? Personally I think we'll at least see an EU version which we can import based on the fact most fire emblem games have released at some point with a local version. We'll see how hard Nintendo wants to work for sales though.

I have a good feeling this will be coming over here.
Pity they changed artists though. There was nothing wrong with the one who did Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn, it looks a bit too anime-ish for my liking, but I'll get over it.

So apparently, this will be the first Nintendo game to be receiving DLC!

Ideally, this would equate to extra mini campaigns that expand on the core plot, introduce new storylines, or show things from different characters perspectives, all of which would be awesome! This is Nintendo however, so I wouldn't put it past them to just release a few extra characters and multiplayer maps and pat themselves on the back for a job well done.

As a huge Fire Emblem fan, I can't help but be optimistic though Hopefully, hopefully, Nintendo put some effort into this.

I still hate the overall style of the game though. The shift to 3D animations for battles in Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn was one thing, but the 2D artwork shown so far pales in comparison to that of the GBA games. As plazma said, they look too much like generic anime characters.

But it's Fire Emblem, so I'll buy it.
