[Sylverstone14]

So a week before Mario Odyssey then. That'll be interesting.

 

[ChrisD]

Excited to miss out on the pre-order for the Limited Edition!

 

[Thoraxes]

Finally a release date. End of October into November gonna kill me. Hopefully the amiibos hit the same day then.

 

[MyNameIsRye]

Start refreshing.

 

[AlexFlame116]

Oh crap sorry! I didn't know you were making the thread!

 

[Jeels]

If this were published by Nintendo would we see it being a week before Mario? I see no Nintendo logos anywhere.

 

[Ridley327]

Oh crap sorry! I didn't know you were making the thread!

No problems at all! I'm sure a merger is happening soon.

 

[Xbro]

25 character cards? Full roster?

 

[Chie Satonaka]

And so it begins.

Hope I can get one.

 

[Erheller]

If this were published by Nintendo would we see it being a week before Mario? I see no Nintendo logos anywhere.

Nintendo/IntSys launched fire emblem radiant dawn the same day as super Mario galaxy, so Nintendo's no stranger to bad fire emblem launch dates

 

[HiroTSK5]

I was really hoping for a Sept release, kind of sucks that it's coming out right before Mario because I know I'm going to put a lot more time into this than Mario.
Will get this limited edition though.

 

[Ridley327]

If this were published by Nintendo would we see it being a week before Mario? I see no Nintendo logos anywhere.

It's being published by Nintendo. What is surprising is that the box art has the developers listed on the front, which is generally not Nintendo's policy. At most, I was expecting just K-T's logo, but throwing Team Ninja and Omega Force on there is a pleasant surprise.

 

[CheckMate]

October is too crowded. Have a feeling half of the games are gonna bomb.

 

[jmizzal]

Finally a release date

I wont get it at launch, prob get it after Mario and Xenoblade 2

 

[ohlawd]

Mario Odyssey and this in the same month

HNNNNNNNNG

 

[Gaiaknight]

They really are gonna let pokemon just have november arent they im assuming xenoblade chronicles 2 will land in december

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

October is too crowded. Have a feeling half of the games are gonna bomb.

Publishers are scared of drowning in November, so they put everything in October. Now October is packed and November is actually pretty thin.

 

[Yukinari]

Awakening+Fates

Featuring Marth from the Fire Emblem Series.

What a boring ass roster.

 

[DVCY201]

Mario, FE Warriors, and The Evil Within 2. Pls, can we delay one to November and ease my wallet?

 

[jack_package_200]

Awakening+Fates

Featuring Marth from the Fire Emblem Series.

What a boring ass roster.

I don't disagree but Fates and Awakening are the highest grossing games in the series. They are following the money.

Ah okay, I assumed that it was K-T publishing because of the logo on the box there with no Nintendo. Pretty interesting.

 

[jmizzal]

They really are gonna let pokemon just have november arent they im assuming xenoblade chronicles 2 will land in december

I think Skyrim and Rocket league gonna come out in Nov, Nintendo gonna let them get some room

 

[RedBoot]

I'm guessing there's still some Shadow Dragon/Mystery of the Emblem characters incoming. They just did the smart thing for once and shopped them out of the poster. They already accidentally revealed a few characters in a similar manner for this game already.

 

[Vanille]

lol that poster

 

[Ridley327]

lol that poster

It's dual-sided, and I imagine that the other side is a big key art with the entire roster that they don't want to show off yet. We still have the Shadow Dragon roster reveal, so we'll likely see that artwork when that happens.

 

[Renna Hazel]

Way too close to Mario, if this is anything like Hyrule Warriors it will take up much more than a week of my time. Oh well, good problem to have.

 

[Makki]

Aaaaaand its sold out

 

[darklin0]

It has nothing that stands out, easy skip for me.

 

[kewlmyc]

Awakening+Fates

Featuring Marth from the Fire Emblem Series.

What a boring ass roster.

Don't disagree, but they did mention we're getting more FE1 characters.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Will surely go up when I'm either sleeping or at work.

 

[Vital Tundra]

Awakening+Fates

Featuring Marth from the Fire Emblem Series.

What a boring ass roster.

I like Awakening, but yeah, all those past FE characters going to waste.

 

[Yagami_Sama]

I was expecting this to be released after Super Mario Odyssey. Now it's time to refresh amount like crazy.

 

[NoKisum]

I think I can go regular edition with this. We still don't know what's going on with characters outside of the 3DS entries, if it'll have any outside of Marth, and multiplayer, if it'll have any at all.

 

[DeuceGamer]

They should have had Fire Emblem release in September. Going to be difficult to squeeze all these into October and November.

Will definitely be getting this though.

 

[Thequietone]

Why does it have to be one week before Mario? I doubt I can finish it within a week. :/

 

[prateeko]

Start refreshing.

Sigh, why do we choose this life?

 

[Renna Hazel]

I think I can go regular edition with this. We still don't know what's going on with characters outside of the 3DS entries, if it'll have any outside of Marth, and multiplayer, if it'll have any at all.

It has co-op. Main reason I'm getting it.

 

[Lord of Ostia]

Pokken releases in September, they are also releasing MHS that month, and M+R is right before. September is also a super packed month. To be fair, so is October, but I get why they decided this as the release date.

 

[RedBoot]

I like Awakening, but yeah, all those past FE characters going to waste.

I gotta wonder how I'd feel about this roster if FE Heroes didn't exist. It does the crossover aspect better (was always going to be the case as a gacha game), and even has better original characters.

I hope Ike, Alm, or Celica manage to sneak in, but I'm not expecting anyone from outside of Shadow Dragon/Awakening/Fates until DLC.

 

[NoKisum]

Online?

 

[sixteen-bit]

LE will be available for like a few seconds, lol

 

[OcarinaOfDoom]

So if there are 25 character art cards, can we assume there are 25 characters for launch?

 

[DeuceGamer]

I think Skyrim and Rocket league gonna come out in Nov, Nintendo gonna let them get some room

Agree. I think it makes a lot of sense to do that this year too. Will give Mario an extra month of sales, the Switch is going to sell whatever Nintendo can ship anyway, and it will help some key Third Parties find success. No downside really that I can tell.

 

[Ridley327]

Online?

Only thing they've mentioned is splitscreen with single Joycons. We should hear more about multiplayer before the Japanese launch.

 

[brinstar]

Can't wait for this, but man fall is gonna be packed for me

Things are dire when Heroes is the better crossover game (and I totally agree with you, FEH definitely is better as a crossover). Hopefully the gameplay makes up for the disappointing roster, what they've shown so far seems good.

 

[Jencks]

That is some ugly looking box art. I know it's been shown for a while but I figured it was just a placeholder.

 

[RampagingSoul]

Surprised this is coming out just a week before Mario...

The only thing I would really care about in this LE is the CD. Price is the main thing my brother and I will be considering if we want to get this and not just the standard release. My brother is probably getting this anyway since we usually split far as releases in the year goes and I'm getting Mario while he probably get this. We might just wait with how many games are out in October.

 

[DeuceGamer]

Pokken releases in September, they are also releasing MHS that month, and M+R is right before. September is also a super packed month. To be fair, so is October, but I get why they decided this as the release date.

Yea, I realize that but I think Fire Emblem would have done better in September. I don't think Pokken would have hurt Fire Emblem nearly as much as Mario does. I guess they wanted to give Pokken plenty of room as I could see people picking up Fire Emblem and skipping Pokken since it is an enhanced port.
