The Fire Emblem series has been around for 22 years, though it only became well known outside of Japan with the arrival of Game Boy Advance. Since that time there have been plenty of new titles, remakes and Virtual Console appearances released worldwide, so the announcement of Fire Emblem: Kakusei last year came as little surprise.
Over the weekend Nintendo released the official cover art for the Japanese version, and as it's suitably epic we felt the need to share it with you. It also has the Nintendo Network logo at the top right, confirming that the online service is now in action and that reports of DLC in Japan are probably accurate.
With a European release confirmed for 2012, is this title on your must-have list?

Nice art, but the text is boring as hell..
Better come out here or not even reggies body will be ready to stop me.
Boring, but so is pretty much every single FE cover ever.
Along side Metal Gear and Paper Mario, this is my most anticipated game of the year, I hope they do some sort of Collectors Edition.
Except for the title it looks very good to me. Title looks like an afterthough of a sticker. But maybe it really is just a sticker and you can enjoy title-less coverart if you want to ?
Awesome~!
Looks cool
This is one of the games im waiting for... along Monster Hunter 4 and Paper Mario
and megaman legends 3... if it was still in production.... D:
@expa0: I think your eyes are broken. o_O
This was revealed a while ago, it's been the wallpaper of my phone ever since. :3
I'm going to be nervous as hell until a U.S. release is announced. It would be unforgivable for Nintendo to not bring this to the states. I'm still pretty pissed we didn't get New Mystery of the Emblem last year.
Definitely mine on day 1.
It's raining men-at-arms.
Not a fan of the art. I keep wanting to tilt my head to correct the perspective.
Hey guys don't worry, if this game does get released out of japan, they'll probably crap up the box art like they usually do in localizations.
I like the box are but I agree with #5 that it does look like a sticker that's slapped on. But yes, if this doesn't get released in NA and EU I'm going to be one very angry person...
Elegant.
The new style is amazing. Hopefully this will reach the States.
Day one purchase for me.
Confirming the rumours of fire emblem DLC in japan? Uh... Thomas, did you miss the Nintendo Direct videos last week confirming it as well as the fact that the first batch would be free for a while to promote the service?
Not a fan of the cover art, but that doesn't really bother me. It won't have an impact on my reserving it and getting it at release
Yes Fire Emblemmmmmmm. Cover could do with more boobs, but then again, so could pretty much every game cover art.
cool
JK
hurry up and announce the US release date... I will definitely buy this game!
please come to the us
looks kinda cluttered
gets me excited for NN
Beautiful!
If this doesn't make it to the outside of Japan, I will seriously beat someone.
Heroic. And good looking.
Same font from, Durarara!?
Art too?
Interesting..
@Linkstrikesback That had indeed slipped my mind when I was writing this but still, the info is there for those who did miss Nintendo Direct
One of the reasons why I brought a 3DS. If Reggie passes in this one, I might shift for an European 3DS (and perhaps a Wii U) next time I go to the UK.
I want this now...please?
