Topic: Fire Emblem x Shin Megami Tensei

I am concern.

I would have liked to at least hear a little nod like "HEY THIS THING IS BEING MADE"...but we got nothin'...

Don't forget Citizens of the Earth.

Have you checked the financials?

Don't care and don't need to. I want more then just words. By now we should have some gameplay footage.

I'd rather know how this game came to be conceptually. I've played many of the SMT games and spinoffs, namely DeSu and Persona, so I wanna know: which "version" of SMT can I expect to be paired up with FE? For that matter, why FE?

I'm pretty sure its vanilla SMT. Not the spin-offs.

I expect the gameplay will be most similar to FE. Actually... if the game was just Fire Emblem, but using summoned SMT demons as your units (with your 'hero unit' as the battlefield commander/summoner with various abilities)... that would be quite enough to kick all kinds of ass. Also Demon recruitment and fusion for better unit compositions over time. And perma-death of course.

A mention in a financial report is just as good as a 5+ minute gameplay trailer

Uh....no it's not.

Isn't this a 3DS game?

nope it's gonna be on wii u.
Also the Title of the thread should be changed to Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem

This is one of the few disappointing things about E3, from Nintendo. Fire Emblem is my favorite franchise from them, and getting nothing was heart breaking. But, I feel they are working on it. Fire Emblem is at an all time high, from the popularity of the 3DS game. I believe in Nintendo, and know they will do right by their fans.

I hope.

IS just confirmed that this game still exists and its still on schedule at Nintendo's special event for Project STEAM.

Well at least someone said something. Now let's hope we get some details soon as to type and graphic style.

This is confirming my suspicions that Ninty is holding back some things this e3, and are gonna drop some Nintendo Direct bombs on us before the year is through.

"We're right on schedule, but if I answer in any more detail I will lose my job, so please have mercy on me," he told Polygon during the open-mic Q&A.

Well if that's the case and the game is coming along, why not show us a bit of it? Something is up. The silence from Retro throughout this e3 is also suspicious.

I'm undecided if that would make sense. On one hand, announce as much as possible to get the most attention at the biggest event. On the other hand, I don't think a crossover strategy game is exactly gonna convince the Uncharted audience...

The silence from Retro is every E3. They are to early in their project to announce or show anything. Still would like to know what they're doing.

I think announcing new stuff throughout the year could keep momentum and excitement rolling instead of just dropping everything now, and then we all just sort of countdown to all the announced releases. We've already seen the potential in "lightning strike" marketing tactics with Earthbound and NES Remix. I'm not saying they will suddenly drop FE X SMT news on us a week before it's released, but I do think Nintendo is keen on experimenting with release schedules these days.

Retro Studios is not that big and they released a game less than 4 months ago, so we won't be hearing from them for quite some time.

The little bit of this game that was shown caught a lot of rpg gamers' attention and I think it would have been more than welcomed at E3 since there was lack of the genre this year. I guess we'll have to wait for it to randomly pop up in an ND.

They'll probably show it at TGS.

Nintendo doesn't do TGS, maybe Comic-con or Gamescom unless Atlus brings it to TGS
