Fire Emblem: Genealogy Of The Holy War Is Joining Japan's NSO Super Famicom Library

I hate everything

Of course. Nintendo treat their Japanese paying customers to more and higher quality titles while we have to pay the same for less. Been like this since they started and you would of thought they would of balanced it out by now instead of regional preferred treatment.

ofc Japan gets better stuff. The west just gets all the terrible stuff

I'm glad I already own an English version of Geneology of the Holy War for my Analogue Super Nt. I know Nintendo will never want money for that game cause I would gladly pay for one if one exist for Switch.

lmao absolute nintendo moment

One of the best in the series. Actually in the middle of my third playthrough just now, still on Sigurd. It’s an odd game, sometimes tedious but with a killer plot and truly interesting mechanics.

So we get dog food, but they get to eat from the kings platter?

Sigh.. Welp, good thing I have my English patched version

Japan gets all the best stuff SMH

Didn't Japan also get SMT 2 when we didn't? Would really love to play these games....

I love NSO! I just don’t have the free time to sink into this right now. Hopefully in a few months.

Y'know I'm starting to get the feeling Nintendo favors Japan's consumers more. Hmm.

Nintendo give use a English translation of this Fire Emblem game along with the rest that never been release outside of Japan.

So japan has two Fire Emblem games and two SMT games for their online service?...man...

@Vortexeo They never came out to the west back in the day. That's why we don't get them because they never left Japan and the Super Famicom.

@LaytonPuzzle27 I think the Genology games are gonna be remade on the Switch. The DS got a remake of Shadow Dragon and it's sequel and the 3DS got a remake of Gaiden.

Nintendo has been introducing Genology and it world to western gamers through Heroes, so a remake makes sense.

For this reason, I don't see them putting a translated version of Genology on the Switch in it's 16-bit form and even if they did, they are gonna make you pay for it like they did with the translation of Shadow Dragon.

@Caryslan
It also makes sense since Genealogy was the game that inspired Three Houses and its story. Both games focus on students who attend an academy and have to come back later to kill each other. Obviously both games handle it differently, but that was indeed the inspiration.

So a remake of this game--the game that inspired the current best-seller in the series--would be a good choice.

Once again Japan gets the better deal, not too surprising considering Nintendo 🙄

Many of the fans seem to like this one but for me personally it's among the weakest entries in the series, not a fan.

The ginormous maps cause all sorts of problems both with unit balance and the fact there's going to be tons of just moving units around from one objective to next (with no auto-movement or anything either). The way the item system works and all that feels very restricting and I hate how the arena is designed in such a way that you can just spam it infinitely at basically zero cost until your units get lucky and win because there is no penalty for losing in there, it's super annoying to do but since there is no gameplay cost you should do it unless you purposefully wsnt to limit yourself. All the management stuff in this one is just extremely tedious.

The roster size is also relatively small because of the split campaigns which makes for poor design to actually play the game with the permadeath system.

I played it once and have no desire to do it again, which is a bit of a shame because Thracia 776, one of my favorites is directly tied to this one. The soundtrack is nice though and I do like the slightly more serious tone it has.

@Caryslan by the same token, if a remake was on the way, why would they bother adding the original to the Japanese NSO? Surely that would just cannibalise Japanese sales?

Be careful what you wish for, it could've been another limited release in the West.

It was also on 3DS VC, who cares, I wanna know if Magical Drop II censors the jiggle graphics.

@gaga64 Japan NSO doesn't have Gaiden and that got a 3DS remake so I think that does decrease the chance of a Genealogy remake. Could be localized though like Shadow Dragon.

On the other hand a Genealogy remake would give Nintendo an incentive to make the final Smash character be another Fire Emblem character.

That's alright Nintendo if you don't want to put your more popular first party titles on the service; it just makes me feel less bad about emulating ROMs of those old games on my PC/handheld devices.

No real reason to be angry about this. Japan is always going to get some games that weren't translated into English officially. The US gets some games they don't get either, but of course fans are going to want the ones they don't have (even if they've played the game to death with the English fan translation). Instead of sitting here being angry, maybe go tell Nintendo on social media that you want an English localization like they did with NES Fire Emblem on Switch or just get that remake train rolling.

Nice. Will play eventually.

Where's the good games for us. Earthbound and Mario RPG taking too long. Ok. Can we at least get stuff like MegaMan

@Slowdive shadows of valentia was superb so let’s hope for another remake :3

Welp, at least I have the Famicom and Super Famicom apps on my Switch, but trying to play a game like this in a language I don't know is probably pointless. Either I'll play a fan translation or keep waiting for an English release or remake...

I regret being born in an English speaking country...

Okay... so give me star tropics 2 already on NES.

Happy to see support for Fire Emblem regardless of region. This is still a win in my book.

@nessisonett this game is FIRE!

@liljmoore I doubt we'll see Mega Man on NES/SNES Online since Capcom already has collections for Mega Man and Mega Man X on Switch.

I wonder if Nintendo would ever consider making a Fire Emblem collection and releasing it worldwide. I'd expect it to be in parts of course like Capcom's Mega Man collections.

@DrDaisy I'd pay full AAA price for a Fire Emblem collection and pre-order it.
But it would need to have everything from NES to Wii.

They need to translate this Fire Emblem game into English A.S.A.P.

Lol tears.

**sigh** I could say a lot... but I think I'm gonna stop putting my thoughts & energy into these (North American) NES & SNES Switch Online app drops since Nintendo clearly doesn't either.

All I'll say is at this point... just sell us the MOTHER series on the Eshop and move on to a Game Boy Switch Online app please Nintie!

Day 1 on my Japanese account and will play with my SNES controller! My Japanese needs a brush up!

And in the West they will finally translate the game but sell it for $19.99, darken it for no reason, and only have it available digitally and for sale every Sunday & Thursday of October 2021.

Sweet FA instead of FE.

I played Nintendo for around 34 years now. I never liked Mario. Nintendo were extremely generous and as part of my fee gave me all the games I bought on WiiU already and a load of ***** thrown in for good measure, to clutter up my screen a bit more and every Mario game in existence that I don't want.

Is there any FE on there? Is there F***.
