April 28, 2016 FE Fates, News 7 comments

Good news for North American Fates players! Not long after the final map from Map Pack 1 released, Nintendo has revealed that Map Pack 2 will be available to download from 5th May 2016.

This new pack includes Another Gift From Anna, which can be downloaded for free and awards a Boots item (grants Movement +1) and Paragon skill scroll (doubles experience earned), but only once per save file.

Plus six maps from the “Heirs of Fate”, a sidestory that places the children of the main cast in the spotlight. The first map “I: In Endless Dreams” will be available for a discounted price, which is a great way to tempt fans to purchase the rest of the story.

Both “Another Gift From Anna” and “I: In Endless Dreams” can be downloaded immediately from 5th May 2016, while the remaining maps will be rolled out on a weekly basis until 9th June 2016.

Today, Nintendo announced two new mobile apps releasing this Fall–one of which would be based on the Fire Emblem series.

According to Nintendo of Europe, the Fire Emblem app will be designed to be more accessible compared to previous games, but still retain the key values of a strategy RPG game, with prominent gameplay.

Other than that, few details are currently known about the app. Still, with Fire Emblem achieving great sales all round and its popularity reaching new heights, this is a very interesting time to be a fan of the series!

If you have thoughts about Fire Emblem’s mobile debut, do let us know in the comments or on our forums.

April 27, 2016 News, SMT x FE No comments

A heads up for UK fans: The Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Fortissimo Edition is now available for pre-order at the Nintendo UK official store.

We already covered the contents in our earlier news post, but to sumarise, besides the game, you get an artbook, selections CD, song lyric cards, stickers and DLC codes.

The Fates special edition roughly sold out in an hour, so it’ll be interesting to know how quickly this one sells out (assuming it does).

Update: Yup, they’re all gone!

Or if you prefer the standard edition, you can pre-order that too, via this page. Note that shipping is only available to UK addresses.

At the time of writing, it’s not clear when pre-orders will open for other European countries; if you have any information, please let us know!

Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE: Another Look at English Build

April 25, 2016 News, SMT x FE No comments

With almost two months until Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE launches in the West, Nintendo has been slowly ramping up the hype.

To begin with, the official Youtube channel recently added a “First Beats” trailer, briefly showcasing some early footage from the game.

If that wasn’t enough, TMS#FE was also playable at PAX East 2016. For those of you who couldn’t attend, GameXplain is here to the rescue with a 20 minute gameplay video.

Naturally, there’s a lot to digest and diligent fans such as nocturnal YL have been comparing some of the differences between the Japanese and English versions on our forums.

One thing you may notice is that the game script is very reminiscent of Atlus’s best efforts–and there’s good reason for that because Atlus is spearheading the localisation, rather than Nintendo.
