Why is info on this Collector's Edition so scarce? Like, they know people want it, give us the deets!
Japan isn't getting this, the joke of this release is that it's the first time this game comes out in english.
Honestly had they integrated this into the NES app I'd pull the trigger for $6. It feels dumb to have to an entirely separate application for one NES game when the rest of the first party stuff is contained in another
I don't think it's any different outside of the English translation, the rewind feature is already on NSO.
Nahh, they can make it like a Fallout game or more First person. The old Metroid Prime will not attract people, even with more marketing. The series will always be small, if they don't make a complete 180.
It's a new localization of a previously Japan-only game that time and money went in to localize. This isn't just a ROM dump into the NSO NES emulator.
I swear I don't mean this in any rude way, but are you trolling me right now?
And emulating 30+ year old abandoned stuff isn't even particularly dubious ethically.
"In addition, Fire Emblem 30th Anniversary Edition will be available through select retailers at a suggested price of $49.99. This collector's edition of the game will include a nostalgic, stylized physical NES box and a replica NES Game Pak art piece with a protective sleeve that transports owners to the era of the original game's release. The collector's edition also includes a colorful, 222-page Legacy of Archanea deluxe hardbound art book and a game download code. It will be accompanied by an NES instruction manual, newly localized from the original Famicom release, along with a fold-out world map and a Mini Nintendo Power retro collectible. With this rich package packed with exclusive items, fans can finally play the original Fire Emblem game as it was always intended: with power!"
I think that's what was throwing me off.
I'm normally pretty tolerant of Nintendo's re-release and pricing practices, but this seems a little bare then, with just the one game. Not even from a consumer product standpoint, but the "this is the celebration of the series" sort of deal.
Maybe it's a localization cost? They have an English version of the script for the first game, not sure if they have it for the second?
This obviously increases the chances of Caeda in Smash Bros! /s
On a serious note, still is baffling that the digital version is limited-time only. I'd understand if it's just the Anniversary Edition, but you'd think they would at least keep the digital copy for people on the eShop to download whenever they want. Earthbound Beginnings also got a late localization and it still is available to download on the Wii U eShop (hope this doesn't age poorly lol).
The Anniversary Edition is a must-buy for me though.

It has stuff like fast-forward that the NSO games don't get, unlike rewind, etc, also in general japanese releases on western NSO are left untranslated, like the Picross release a while back and Panel de Pon.
My first thought.
Didn't this game get a DS remake? Super cool but less exciting
I'm really really hating this new limited time only thing Nintendo is doing, especially with digital
This is just the actual first game. The sequel for the SNES was called "Fire Emblem Mystery of the Emblem". Once starting the sequel, you get to choose between two "books", with the first one being a remake of the original game in the SNES engine (missing a couple of characters and stages due to some classes being dropped), while the 2nd one was the actual sequel.
Not a huge FE fan, but day 1 for the worst game in the series? Are you sure you're not a huge fan.
Oh thanks. I am probably just an impatient brainlet and skipped over it on the actual webpage for the game. Also the site loads like butt on mobile so it also might be partly why.
Oh, it's not on the webpage, lol. It's on the press release only.
Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light Arrives in the U.S. for the First Time on Dec. 4

This is really happening huh. They're really going to go forward with this limited time digital editions doo-doo.
Even ignoring that, what's the point of doing this for the original? Yeah yeah anniversary and all but we already have the remake.
It isn't even good.

I know it's in everyone's best interest to pretend Fates Revelation doesn't exist but no game deserves to be called the worst over it.
I'm not really a Fire Emblem fan, but I'd totally spend $6 to put my money where my mouth is and show that I want companies to do localizations of old RPGs that were never localized officially. There are so many old RPGs that I'd love to see come out on the Switch and elsewhere. But at the same time, I really don't want to support the horrible practice of time-limited digital releases.
It's a celebration of this game, and the second game game had a remake on 3DS.
It isn't "new" , it goes back years as it's already been discussed.
I would be excited. But I don't like the Original. rather it been Mystery of the Emblem on DS
Genealogy of the Holy war or Thracia 776 on SNES. Thos Would've been awesome.
and Roy's game too I guess. The terrible balance makes it unfun but It's Roy.

Why the complaints about the limited time eShop release?
How does it affect you?
All of you in the thread are fully aware of the release of this game (It's why you're here). You got (I presume) six months while it's available, plus the one months notice from today, to scramble up the $6 required to purchase it.

Son of Eliwood, one of the protagonists of the actual in the west released Fire Emblem - The Blazing Blade. Roy's own game, The Binding Blade, which is a sequel story to Blazing Blade has never been released in the west (at least Europe)!
For some, a fighter in Smash Bros.
For people who know him, he's our boy.
A very bland, milquetoast, and useless dweeb.
No, seriously. He sucks in his own FE game.
Roy is obviously Japanese Eliwood, dunno why they changed his name tho
Haven't there been rumors that Genealogy and Binding Blade have been discussed for the next remake in the series?
Is the physical not announced for Europe?
Also, I guess I am canceling NSO as I am not really playing online and the rom selection is not only a joke but there's no point for me if those releases aren't even included.
