RPG Maker Fes, released in Japan last year, will finally launch on the Nintendo 3DS in North America on 27th June and Europe on 23rd June. In February, we had the opportunity to play an early English build and were very impressed by what we played. RPG fans can build, play and share their worlds with friends.
A free tool called Maker Player will also be available on the Nintendo 3DS eShop for players to play RPGs designed by other players. Additionally, there will be a Limited Edition release of RPG Maker Fes that's also launching on 27th June.
Do you already have ideas for an RPG you want to design in RPG Maker Fes? Let us know in the comments!

Another great 3DS game in the Direct. Definitely looking forward to this one!
I will have a hard time resisting this. haha
Preordered two months ago. CAN. NOT. WAIT...hopes for a Switch release in the future. Not of this game but in the series.
@Ryu_Niiyama I know. SO HYPED. Preordered forever ago and have already plotted out my game's basic story, chatacters, and game mechanics. Hopefully it's half as powerful as RM2K which consumed my life for years back in middle school and high school. Haha. I will play your game!
I write fanfiction so this would actually be a good way to test my storytelling skills.
@Torakaka and you just summed up my reason for wanting this.
@invictus4000 It is like a summer of free games for everyone!
Feel like I'm getting this out of obligation, but I guess I'll remake one of my PC Rpg Maker games onto this.
I am so ridiculously hyped for this game!
Ahhh finally! Can't wait for this!
I can't say that I am excited for this game but the idea of the Maker Player being free is really smart
I look forward to being creative on the go!!
I'll get the free thing so i can play all of your games!
Wait, so the only thing you lose by getting the free version is you can't build RPGs. You can still play all of other people's games?
@pigwarts5ever Exactly. The free one is a completely separate app called RPG Maker Player which simply allows you to download others' games.
Will no doubt get the free one day 1.
Sold!
Day 1
The JRPG Collector in me wants to get this but I doubt I'd ever get round to actually making any games.
The following comment is part of my "I missed the Direct, but this counts as highlights to me" series of wondrous comments of hypeation.
Never thought they'd localize this. This is amazing, it's going to singlehandedly turn the 3DS from "great console, it's got a few RPGs but not a single mainline Final Fantasy game" to "the definitive RPG console". The little gateway to the three dimensions is definitely getting enough swan songs to go out with a bang.
I am going to have some fun making some RPGs.
I'm up for this. Wondering if there will be more modern-day map and character sets though. Would make me much more likely to make games
@AlexSora89 I already consider it as such. Who really needs mainline Final Fantasy when you've got Pokémon, Fire Emblem, Xenoblade Chronicles, Etrian Odyssey, Bravely Default, Unchained Blades, Stella Glow, 7th Dragon, Legend of Legacy, Codename STEAM, all of the Virtual Console RPGs like Advance Wars and Golden Sun, and several others I'm sure I've failed to mention? Besides, if you're really hurting for some mainline Final Fantasy, you can always play the DS remakes of IV and VI on your 3DS as well as all of the other great DS RPGs.
@BulbasaurusRex
Except the 3DS is still painfully GBA-free, but aside from your mention of Golden Sun and Advance Wars, your points stand.
I want this game so bad. Of my 3 main potential career paths, game development sounds like the most interesting (albeit the most risky) option. Knowing how to make awesome games would be very useful for that reason. Also, juat looks really fun!
Eh, this is a little too late. The console RPG Makers have never had the support that the PC ones have had, historically. Would have been a good idea for NS, but I doubt this will have much support for N3DS after a couple years. (This will likely divide O3DS and N3DS owners, since the N3DS could handle bigger games.) But hey, maybe this means games like To the Moon and LISA will have 3DS support now!
This would be awesome on Switch.
This whole concept with the free app is genius. Looking forward to creating and playing fun RPGs this summer!
Awesome concept, I just wish it had come sooner, like before I fell in love with my Switch! That said, I'll probably still buy this. I used to write a ton of content for tabletop RPGs, and would be happy to see what I can make for the 3DS.
I been hoping for this one and I know it's going to be good. I want it and it is a day one purchase. I'm in love...
Look, another Fire emblem! Oh wait...
Can you draw your own sprites and graphics?
