Do you know the significance of the date 4/20?






That's correct! 25 years ago today, Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryu to Hikari no Tsurugi, the first game in the long-running Fire Emblem tactical rpg series was released!

back then, Marth looked like this:

...it was a simpler time.

and despite 25 years of ups and downs, the series is still chugging along today, with the newest entry: Fire Emblem if, scheduled for a Japanese release this year and a western release in (hopefully early) 2016! There's also a bunch of stuff happening in Japan this year, like a card game and an anniversary concert, that we won't ever see a hint of. Yay.

here are some very anime trailers:

anyways, welcome back to the Nintendo thread. Feel free to talk about zelda, and kirbies.

    Probably going to be some Fire Emblem news soon, then.

    Even more news, I mean.

    Man. Awakening really did a number on the series's popularity, huh?

    I'm now past the Volcano dungeon in Skyward Sword. I love the collection / upgrade aspects of the game! I hope they have something similar in Zelda Wii U.

    there's been a lot of news recently, yeah. and probably more coming up, considering intsys is making a fairly big deal out of the concert/presentation thing!

    it's going to be a busy year, please stop me from spending money on importing merchandise, oh god

    I'm so excited for it. It'll probably be the next game I buy.

    Aw man

    The next major area might be the coolest in the whole game (or the whole series, even)

    Wind Waker HD is really pretty. The controls leave something to be desired, but sorta to be expected of a 2002 game.

    Hyrule Warriors is still a lot of fun. I think Sheik is my favorite, with Zelda in 2nd and Ganonndorf in third.

    Magicant done, that was pretty tough.
    "Alright, boss, I'm gosh darn Ness, lets see you even try to take me on"
    *Ness' nightmare used PSI Rain Ω*
    :?

    Also the stat boost you get is bonkers, it's kinda weird to not have Ness be the slowest member of the group anymore.

    Mines similar but insert Impa at #1.
    I think most of my enjoyment of Ganon comes from his special.

    Hyrule Warriors is real good, I got it earlier this month. Currently, Zelda is at level 50 while the next highest levelled character is like level 30. That's from the time I needed an A-Rank in an Adventure Mode battle in order to move on to the next fight to unlock a weapon. It turns out I take way too much damage all the time.

    So did anybody get BOXBOY!

  • OmnipotentBagelOmnipotentBagel floof Registered User regular
    I did. It's okay, but I think it takes too much time introducing all the mechanics. Each "world" is several levels that explore a single new gameplay element, so everything I've played so far (up to World... 8, I think) has been really trivial. I'm hoping at some point they'll start combining mechanics and it'll get more challenging.

    So it seems like Wind Waker is from a time before auto-save and they didn't add one in for HD

    thanks to the auto wii u shutoff, i've lost a full hour of progress, including getting the swift sail

    that's just fucking spectacular

    This happened to me while I was collecting heart pieces. I could not remember which pieces I had collected since last saving so it was this nightmare of sailing all over to try and figure it out.

    Zelda games still do not autosave as of Link Between Worlds

    It's not a thing they do

    well

    that's bad design

    it is a nintendo product, though

    ignoring quality of life changes that are well established in other things is basically their MO at this point

    Autosaves suck though.

    I have a podcast now. It's about video games and anime!Find it here.

    You can save literally anywhere you want, at any time, for any reason. Some players save every thirty seconds because, well, I don't know why even after they've explained it to me but they do it

    The games don't really need autosaves, I don't think
