Everything You Need To Know About Smash Bros’ Byleth

Everything You Need To Know About Smash Bros’ Byleth

, , , , , , 0

If you’re a die-hard Fire Emblem fan, no doubt you were over the moon to hear that the fifth and final Smash Bros fighter of DLC Pack 1 will be Byleth, the latest protagonist from the series. Byleth was introduced last summer in Fire Emblem: Three Houses, but a solid chunk of Smash’s fanbase didn’t know that. Instead they saw yet another sword fighter with a weird name and became enraged. We should be fair to Sakurai, and acknowledge that he has responded to fan requests far more than anybody else at Nintendo. Banjo-Kazooie, one of the most demanded fighters for eons, was seen as a distant pipe dream until he made it happen. Personally, for just getting Banjo in there, Sakurai could introduce six variants on Piranha Plant and I would still feel satisfied with the lineup. So if he wants to do something for himself and go to the Fire Emblem well for the billionth time, I feel he’s earned the right. Besides, there’s a whole new lineup

Fire Emblem Warriors is the amalgamation of the Dynasty Warriors franchise and the Fire Emblem franchise. in it, you’ll get to be one of many Fire Emblem characters from three different games and get to destroy vast armies with the push of a few buttons. What’s more, the games roster continues to expand, making everyone wonder how certain characters will be in the game. At PAX West, we got to see a demo of the game with some of the newest characters. Takumi, Hinoka, Xander, and Camilla (all from Fire Emblem Fates) were in the spotlight in this demo. And as you’ll see, not only can you swap them in and out on the fly, but each of them play very differently. The game is set to arrive on October 20th.

Fire Emblem Warriors is seeking to break the tactical RPG elements it’s known for and allowing its characters to let loose in high-octane battles. Koei Tecmo has released a new trailer for the game, and with it comes confirmation of more characters that will be playable. A previous trailer highlighted the Awakening side of things in the Fire Emblem universe. And now, we have gotten a trailer that focused more on Fates, even remaking the classic “choose your path” scene from the games. But also via this trailer, we get confirmation that more of the Hoshido and Nohr siblings will be playable in the game. This includes Camilla, Takumi, Hinoka, and Leo. The only ones missing from the line are Sakura and Elise, and it’s unclear as to whether they’ll appear in this game. We’ve also gotten more of a look at the voice acting for the game. To be honest, it’s hit and miss, especially for some of the siblings like Hinoka. But, you will have the option to

One of the big new initiatives Nintendo currently has is the mobile initiative, where they want to put their most popular IP’s on smartphones for gamers to enjoy. The first of these games was Miitomo, an offshot of their popular Mii characters. In an interview, translated by NeoGaf, Nintendo CEO Tatsumi Kimishima gave an update about how Miitomo is doing, as well as what he expects from the game: “The number of downloads is in line with expectations, but the most important thing is that we’d like people to keep playing for a long time. We’ve gotten many requests to make it easier to add friends and to increase the speed of the app, and we’re working to respond to those. With Miitomo, the more friends you connect with the wider the possibilities become, and we’d like to implement that into our next apps as well.” For mobile, the next two Nintendo IP’s to be coming are Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem. The former has been put in numerous kinds

Fire Emblem Fates aims to be a very different kind of Fire Emblem game. Going so far as to have same gender marriages and other interesting story elements in the title. However, via the Japanese release, some of these decisions have come under fire. Mostly, a character was said to be going under a “gay conversion” via the main character and magic. This has been changed for the western versions of Birthright and Conquest. When asked by Siliconera about what these changes truly meant, Nintendo responded thus: “Making changes is not unusual when we localize games, and we have indeed made changes in these games. When we localize a game we do so in order to make it appropriate for that particular territory. All our choices were made from that point of view.” They further went on to note that while that game was made, same gender marriages was not. “In the Conquest edition a male main character created by the gamer can pair up with another male character (Niles)

You would think that based on the popularity of its characters that Fire Emblem has been one of the strongest franchises in Nintendo’s lineup. But that’s not the case at all. In fact, Fire Emblem at one time didn’t even transfer over to the states. Then it slowly began to trickle over. However, the franchise rarely got the sales Nintendo wanted. Then Marth and Roy were put in Super Smash Bros. Melee, Ike was added in Brawl, and then Robin and Lucina in the recent versions for Wii U and 3DS. But it wasn’t until Awakening, the most recent version of the game, that the series got the numbers Nintendo was hoping for. In the recent Iwata Asks, Nintendo’s Satoru Iwata talked with the team about Fire Emblem Fates, and how it’s creation was not a guarantee: “Hatano-san, who was working as the head of the sales department, he said ‘The Emblem series isn’t making the numbers, so this is going to be the last one.’ And the [development team] members said

My Top 5 Nintendo Franchises

, , , , , , , , , , , , 0

I am a Nintendo Fanboy. It’s who I am. My first taste of video gaming was a Game Boy. My first console was a SNES. I remember the joy when I got a Pokemon Stadium N64 bundle pack for Christmas, and  the pride I felt when I saved enough money to buy the Nintendo Gamecube, Wii, and Wii U with my own money. Nintendo is ingrained in my life. Being a fanboy for so many years and console generations has allowed me to see how Nintendo has grown in how they make games and the types of games they make. Nintendo more than any other company has a robust list of first party franchises. And if you take a good look at their lineup, you’ll notice that each one pretty much covers a different genre. Platformers (both 2D and 3D), shooters, racing games, fighting games, space games, puzzles titles, RPG’s, the list goes on and on. Yet as I sit here and reflect, a question comes to mind: Which franchises do I look forward to

Huge revelations arrived this morning at 6 AM (Pacific time) when a new Nintendo Direct began streaming from the company HQ. To start things rolling, Iwata debuted the trailer for the latest in the Fire Emblem series, entitled “The Latest In The Fire Emblem Series.” No release date as of yet, but the same team behind Awakening will be producing. Iwata continued with revelations of puzzle games involving monsters: the eShop game “Pokemon Shuffle” and the previously Japan-only kiddie series “Puzzles and Dragons,” which looks like every Pokemon ripoff of the past 15 years, will be released here — and to sweeten the pot, Nintendo will be sticking in a variant of the game painted with Mario characters. Both games will be sold as one. There was a surprise announcement of Wii games available in the digital eShop starting immediately. Super Mario Galaxy 2 is downloadable right now, Punch-Out Wii will arrive next week, and (to GameStop’s lament) Metroid Prime Trilogy will follow the week after. They will also be

During a special E3 event, Nintendo announced the arrival of a new IP called Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. for their Nintendo 3DS handheld. Called a turn-based strategy game with shooter elements, the game is in co-development with Intelligent Systems the developers of Advance War and Fire Emblem. The game will feature cel-shaded graphics and a steampunk atmosphere and art style heavily reminiscent to the silver age of American comic books. According to several Tweets released on Nintendo’s Twitter account, the fighters in the game will run on steam as a limited resource to power their attacks and the game will be structured into campaign divided by missions with multiple maps. Judging from the description provided by Nintendo, it seems that gameplay may be similar to the tactical X-Com series. In which players are provided with a plethora of tactical options to eliminate enemies on the map. However, it’s been stated that gameplay was influenced by modern first-person shooters and may mean a much faster-paced style of play.   The project head will
