Dear lord that's not the full roster on the poster is it?

 

[mjc]

Pretty lame special edition.

 

[Quintin DM]

Think releasing in Sept like Japan would have been better, but w/e. Can't wait to not get this cause it'll sell out in 15 seconds!

 

[AlexFlame116]

I'm not getting this game at all but I'll help out with the preorder hunt. If I manage to get one I'll let a GAFer take it.

No more scalpers.

 

[OrangeGrayBlue]

Pretty lame special edition.

Kinda surprised a spin-off Fire Emblem title would even get a special edition honestly.

 

[WrenchNinja]

Dear lord that's not the full roster on the poster is it?

Theres only 18 characters there. 16 if you remove the other Robin and Corrin. I doubt it.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Mario Odyssey and this in the same month

HNNNNNNNNG

fire emblem waifus = ohlawd sighting

<3

 

[LordKano]

Dear lord that's not the full roster on the poster is it?

No it's not, only the characters revealed so far.

 

[AlexFlame116]

Hilarious if this is GameStop exclusive like the Mario + Rabbids one.

No it's not, only the characters revealed so far.

Thank god!

 

[CharminUltra]

This is one of those series I could never get into (even the Zelda-themed one failed to click with me.)

But I imagine those are into it will have a very fun October with this and Odyssey.

 

[SimpleCRIPPLE]

Hilarious if this is GameStop exclusive like the Mario + Rabbids one.

The NoA site links off to all the main retailers for the special edition, so it doesn't look like its exclusive.

 

[Renna Hazel]

Online?

Unfortunately, they said it wont be online. Kind of a bummer

 

[Neonep]

I'm curious as to why Nintendo doesn't have a game for November or December.

 

[Kevinroc]

I'm curious as to why Nintendo doesn't have a game for November or December.

Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are due out in November, aren't they?

 

[Neonep]

Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are due out in November, aren't they?

Oops... I meant for the Switch.

 

[NoKisum]

Unfortunately, they said it wont be online. Kind of a bummer

Ugh, this sucks. I mainly wanted to do co-op, but the only person I know getting it lives pretty far. Now I'm not sure what to do.

Any word on a demo at least?

 

[Nesther]

Oops... I meant for the Switch.

Probably Xenoblade 2 in either month.

 

[Netto-kun]

So it's kind of similar to the Japanese Treasure Box but they replaced the 80 pages artbook with a poster uh?

 

[MrSaturn99]

Need this for the soundtrack alone.

 

[Lord of Ostia]

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.

I don't think Mario will hurt FEW much, the audience buying FE is dedicated enough that they will get both, and the general audience probably doesn't care a ton for a FE musou.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Oops... I meant for the Switch.

We don't know when Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is releasing. It's probably December.

 

[Neonep]

So there's going to be one month with no Switch game.

 

[CazTGG]

Dear lord that's not the full roster on the poster is it?

Of course not.

It's missing Heroes incarnation of Marth, obviously.

Yeah, i've given up hope they'll have characters from about 80% of the rest of the franchise.

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

So there's going to be one month with no Switch game.

Skyrim is being published by Nintendo and will probably be their November release. Xenoblade 2 will be in December if it still makes this year.

 

[LordKano]

From Nintendo ? Yeah, probably November. Doesn't mean there won't be Switch games tho.

 

[Neiteio]

Of course not.

It's missing Heroes incarnation of Marth, obviously.

Yeah, i've given up hope they'll have characters from about 80% of the rest of the franchise.

They've said from the start they're only featuring characters from Shadow Dragon, Awakening and Fates.

At any rate, nothing they've shown has interested me so far. I'm pretty sure I'll be skipping this. I'll be busy with Evil Within 2 and hyped for Odyssey at that time, anyways.

 

[Dark Cloud]

So there's going to be one month with no Switch game.

Don't forget Skyrim.

 

[Amani]

Hmm, still on the fence about this game. I wanted to wait until more characters that I like show up, but I wouldn't mind that soundtrack. A little butt rock never hurt anyone.

 

[OVDRobo]

Too close to Odyssey for me. I'll use that and whatever else I can get on other platforms to keep me occupied until they add characters that I care about as DLC and maybe get this once the price drops a bit if impressions are at least passable. It's still incredibly shocking to me that I feel this ambivalent about what was conceptually one of my dream titles but that just speaks to how badly they've messed it up.

LE's nothing special, either. I don't even remember the last time I used a CD and a bunch of cardboard with character renders on them isn't exactly impressing.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Switch has me by the THROAT.

 

[Merc_]

I'm surprised they chose to release it a week before Mario.

 

[NeonZ]

They've said from the start they're only featuring characters from Shadow Dragon, Awakening and Fates.

They said that "most" characters would be from those games, but at this point it seems like the only exceptions will be the originals, which would be stupid from them. They could include a couple of really popular characters from other games, without their supporting casts (Roy, Ike, Lyn) and it'd certainly generate extra sales compared to someone like Hinoka.

 

[Giga Man]

That's a lot of Nintendo in one month. Two Mario games and one Fire Emblem game.

 

[MrSaturn99]

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

That's my assumption as well. Assuming the leftovers are Shadow Dragon peeps, perhaps Azura and maybe one or two surprises.

 

[Giga Man]

The official North American website is up too: http://fireemblemwarriors.nintendo.com/

Lol. They left out Camilla.

But going by that logic, it makes more business sense to make them DLC.

 

[Neonep]

I definitely forgot about Skyrim.

 

[dragonflys545]

Day one! Please port over Hyrule warriors complete! I'm 99% sure it'll happen.

 

[vareon]

That's too close to Odyssey and leaves nothing (yet) for September. Hmmm.

 

[DMONKUMA]

That's too close to Odyssey and leaves nothing (yet) for September. Hmmm.

Pokken DX is in September.

 

[Renna Hazel]

That's a lot of Nintendo in one month. Two Mario games and one Fire Emblem game.

Two Mario games?

 

[DecoReturns]

That's too close to Odyssey and leaves nothing (yet) for September. Hmmm.

Pokken is september .

 

[Gaiaknight]

That's too close to Odyssey and leaves nothing (yet) for September. Hmmm.

Pokken Tournament DX is there september game

 

[RRockman]

I stand by my statement.

No Echoes No Buy.

 

[Giga Man]

Two Mario games?

Mario Odyssey for Switch and Mario & Luigi remake for 3DS.

 

[Fix-It Felix. Jr.]

October is jam packed for me. I have a new game to get every week, good grief! (and yeah, I'm totally getting the SE if I can)

 

[RPG_Fanatic]

The soundtrack alone makes me want this limited edition.

 

[CazTGG]

Lol. They left out Camilla.

They did us all a favor then.
