Thank you for the review Alex. This is what I was looking for. A decent touch of how it preforms and how the game play is. I think I'll end up passing on it and I'll wait to see what the future holds for the series. Moon left me disappointed and I'd rather wait for a pokemon game that excites me over the status quo and another chugging game. Back to Fire Emblem.
While I still haven't decided if I'm getting a Pokemon game this gen; as I have liked some gens and not others over the years and don't feel compelled to buy a game.
I don't think Gamefreak needs the negativity. If people wish to skip on it then feel free but don't be jerks about it.
As for the not all pokemon being in game. I've been waiting for it for years. The number is getting silly high and I've got no problem going back to my old game copies (That work, sorry Silver) and checking on my old "friends".
Good game everyone. I won my first 100x for Order over this one with a couple friends but it clearly wasn't enough. See some of you in rank, Samon Run, and turf wars in the future.
I actually kind of dig the various colours thing that is going on. Neon Blue, Red, Green, and Pink are in my collection. I might be down to add the Purple and Orange. Get myself up to 3/6 controller sets.
On the drift. My launch Joy-Cons just got replaced. They gave me trouble early on but I didn't realize the problem till I had Smash Bros. I hope my Green and Pink are fine. Mind you my friends haven't had any trouble with their Joy-Cons so far.
@ThomasBW84 - Sad to hear it. Well I haven't been around here as much as of late but I suppose that happens when one doesn't have the current console and is trying to avoid spoilers in the forums. Best of luck in your new endeavors!
Originally I was going to play Samurai Warriors Chronicles on 3DS as I lent it out once with my spare system and they deleted my file so my plan was to finally play through it and rebuild progress towards my once 93 hours. However I discovered the Movies have sounds and stuttering issues and the game won't load part 3 so that's cancelled. Now maybe I'll do some Minecraft or something else, I don't know yet.
Ugh. The voice actors are badly off in some cases. It might be how much time I put into Fire Emblem Fates but I can't stand some of the voices they choose as replacements.
Seems someone is full of themselves. One person making glitched courses that Nintendo takes down doesn't keep the game alive. It might make some small amount of interest but that's it. People will make a play courses regardless of what this guy is doing or anyone else on it till the servers go down.
I never expected the Switch to take out proper handhelds. I have a feeling this is partially a stall till the next handheld and in part because they still find 2/3DS demand.
@Steve 9 on the wasteland tower is too far west. Nice guide though, wish it said which had a shrine quest and where to find them, I missed one quest but got all 120.
I'd guess we'll see something in the Toon Link style next and a tad more traditional. I'm sure we'll see an open world Legend of Zelda again but I think there'll be a break before it.
These have been so poorly done, signing up and sending in what you did I can't bring myself to care. Not having to use festival plaza as a side effect of not joining up is a huge bonus!
I enjoy this. Training tower costs are fair and double would be silly. Equiping skills costing stamina was a worry of mine and I'm glad to see it gone. Extra orbs for a bit is nice and here is to hoping training tower missions drop feathers.
My best unit is Minerva, 2nd best is Camilla though with some more training I would suspect they'd be about equal and better for different then each other in different battle conditions.
@ollyander - If your file was linked to your Nintendo Network ID. You'll be given your save data back after linking it to the app.
@BensonUii - Sharena is pretty bad from what I can tell, I think I might leave her at 4 Stars as long as I got better Blue units to promote. Alfonse is aggressive with his skills but I think he's solid enough. I won't be promoting Anna myself for some time now as I have Camilla and Minerva filling my Axe needs at 5 stars. Part of why I'm bothering is to make sure I have them reading in case they are always worth something for the arena.
I'm really hoping they use secondary weapons for these character's where possible. Like giving Ike his axe or Lucina a lance. I was hoping for a tad more weapon variety in the winners then all characters who main swords.
It'll be helpful, honest its a hard choice between trying to get the main three characters to 4 Star from 3 Star or saving to get someone to 5 Star. I'm assuming, maybe wrongly that the starting characters will pay off if they get a few potential boosts.
I pulled a 5 Star Minerva. Leveled Anna, Alfonse and Sharena to 3 Star using feathers because I'm going out on a limb and hoping they are worth taking to 5 star. I have 7 4 Star characters, one who I got twice and made +1. I have 947 feather left and I'm considering saying goodbye to the daily heroes for more.
One certainly can beat this title not spending a cent. Maxed my castle and got 3 full sets before beating the game. Its going to get grindy or pay to win if luck is against you I'm sure based on 9-5 Normal.
Switch is Semi-Portable and not really a personal device in some respects like a handheld system. I suspect we will see a 3DS successor at a lower price point then Switch. I don't think we see it as a Mini Switch either.
I don't think the semi-portable home console that is the Nintendo Switch will replace the 3DS. Wouldn't shock me if a new handheld is announced in a year or two that actually replaces the 3DS and maybe that can interact more heavily with a Nintendo Switch but I don't think handhelds are being phased out for a home console that can be taken on the go.
Seeing as this is a semi-portable home console it has some value. That does not make want to spend $400 before tax and before games. This is no replacement for my 3DS and I'm not certain it is enough of a step up from the Wii U to justify the price. Especially with online not fully priced or detailed and I think that is part of the problem here. We don't know the online cost which is a factor that has to added to the console price for months/years or exactly what we get for this cost as it is only semi-detailed at best.
@PlywoodStick - Shocking. I did and still get decent activity in Halifax, Nova Scotia for streetpass. I'm sure Japan could use it better with higher density in population but it still works out of Japan.

Re: Review: Fire Emblem Heroes (Mobile)
