Topic: Fire emblem fortune's weave and 3 unlocalised games

Some fans are saying the game might be delayed to late 2026 due to lack of information including release date:

Also why is Fire emblem 4,5 and 6 still unavailable in any legal format in Europe and US.

Nintendo should copy Nis America's example, that they used a fan translation called geofront for trails from zero and azure, two previously unreleased games in the us and europe.

The new Yoshi game had no reelase date and little information until this week and now it has a May release date. Fortune's weave could easily be any month between June and December.

@FishyS that would be great,
The limited edition pre orders need to be announced soon because they normally get out of stock.

Since it was announced for a 2026 release date and we haven't gotten any First-Party directs yet, it's probably safe to say it's still scheduled for the middle of, or the latter half of 2026.
As for the translation of 4, 5, and 6, it would be amazing if they just followed NIS America's example like you suggested. However, since these games are already available on NSO in Japan, if these types of ports were made, then there would be no incentive for the Japanese audience to buy them.
Intelligent Systems would probably rather make full remakes of these games so they could resell these titles in Japan, where a significant portion of the Fire Emblem fanbase is. This is why, before Fortune's Weave was announced, I had expected a remake of FE 4. Now, though, I think that the dev time for new games is long enough that they will probably be mainly focusing on new games, at least unless/until they come up with a different business strategy.

@Uiopo fire emblem, zelda and xenoblade are all missing core new games on the switch 2 so a release date announcement for fire emblem is due.

The geofront translation that nis america used, was actually better than the some western publishers own translations for japanese games, which is why Nintendo should definitely use a fan translation, of which many exist for those 3 games.

I miss the days of the 3ds when we got 2 different fire emblems and one remake.

Yeah, I would definitely like a release date announcement for Fortune's Weave soon! It's be really nice to get a Fortune's Weave Direct, as I really wanna see more of the gameplay details (especially whether or not the weapon triangle will return!).

And yeah, the 3DS era was great for Fire Emblem! More frequent games and a higher likelihood for remakes was nice! I hope this next game will be worth the wait. It would be nice if the gameplay of Fortune's Weave would be as good as some of the pre-Three Houses games, while also including the stuff that people liked from Three Houses.

Gut says June or July release. Info in April.

@Uiopo my favourite games on the 3ds were fire emblem fates conquest/birthright, awakening and shadows of valentia.
I'm hoping fortune's weave has the same gameplay as valentia as that game was one of the best strategy rpgs I have ever played, I loved three houses too.

@LordDieALot I think the game will launch in late July, simular to three houses.
