@theModestMouse They regularly go to 50% off which I find more than reasonable personally, I'll be getting no money off this one though seeing as I have it preordered.
Worth noting ShopTo in the UK have it listed at £49.99 but says thats down from £59.99. $70 equals £60 atm so at least Nintendo seem to be converting it unlike the $70=£70 Sony have been doing.
As much as I'm looking forward to this game if Nintendo raise the price by £20 to £70 in the UK mid gen no way I'll be supporting it. At least the others had the jump to a more powerful system as an excuse.
Not shocking, FE is the kinda series where 80% of anyone that will buy it will do so week one, its still niche when compared to Nintendo's more evergreen series.
@-wc- I play games to have fun and when a game controls as poorly as this I need more than nostalgia to have fun. I'd rather play the Xbox version with updated controls so it plays how my nostagia thinks it played rather than the sad truth of how it actually plays.
@JokerCK Even as a massive fan of the series I see where they're coming from here, this was amazig on PSP when sacrifices had to be made but here I could see why some would be disappointed, especially if they played 4 or 5 first.
10/10 for me. One of the best games ever made and a must play for JRPG fans. Also I disagree with the music complaint, it's one of the best soundtracks out there and will be stuck in your head for years.
I hope it doesn't rise any more because I don't like the idea of a country with such closed minded views having a majority stake. They'd censor everything to fit them.
TBH even if all the bugs are patched this is a wait for a deep sale for me because the actual gameplay sounds like it's taken a step back from the first game.
@CharlieGirl Calling a game that gets DLC an unfinished product is kinda stupid. The game will still be a full experience worth $60 even without the DLC.
I think people are making too much of this DLC, only 1 pack is day one with the rest coming later and with promise of extra story content showing it could be substantial. If you don’t want it wait or skip it.
As much as anyone hates to admit it Nintendo are well within their right to protect their licences. At the end of the day its someone else using Nintendo's IP to profit.
@EaglyTheKawaiiShika I like NieR way more than I like Pokemon, Pokemon actually doesn't even enter my top 50 series even so I'd hardly call myself a Pokemon fan.
@tenthAvatar This is the first game in this series in 3 and a half years and the first actually made by a studio under Nintendo's control(although IS are pretty much thier own thing) since 2017 so its not taking any dev time or resources from those unnamed dormant series. Not to mention if Nintendo was to bring back lets say F Zero as an example it wouldn't be Intelligent Systems anyway since the only real dormant series they have is Advance Wars which has a remake on the way.
Looks like a return to what made Fire Emblem great. I love Three Houses but that game feels like a whole other series at times with the school stuff, like they saw Persona and thought lets try that.
@CountDrakeulah Way to misread my point.
I just don't feel like pretty close to NSFW photos should be on a site I come to for Nintendo new but by all mean continue to project.
I'm not a prude by any means but did we really need all the photos? the first one would have got the point across and kept this site from feeling like the Daily Sport.

This is disappointing.

This went from a must buy to a never buy for me so fast.

Re: 81 Must-Have Games You Should Pick Up In The Switch eShop Sale (Europe)
One I would recommend thats not here is Undernauts Labyrinth of Yomi for £20.
Its a super underrated and to my knowledge wasn't even reviewed by NL.
Re: Review: Tales of Symphonia Remastered - A GameCube Classic That Shows Its Age On Switch
Sounds like a wait till its £10 rather tha outright avoid.
Re: Baten Kaitos Remasters Have Japanese VO Only, Frame Rate, File Size Revealed
I planned on playing in Japanese anyway so I’m not too fussed.
Re: Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection Brings Original Trio Of DS Titles To Switch In June
The best announcement of the Direct for me.

Re: Video: 9 Exciting New Games Coming To Nintendo Switch In February 2023
Will get Octopath II but on PS4 and probably Tales of Symphonia but in a few months.

Re: Sports Story Blocks Access To "Secret Dev Room" In Latest Update (Version 1.0.4)
So glad I didn't pull the trigger on this when it launched and now I don't think I ever will.
Re: Review: GoldenEye 007 - Aged And Flawed, But Still A Masterpiece Of Game Design

Re: Review: GoldenEye 007 - Aged And Flawed, But Still A Masterpiece Of Game Design
Definitely nostalgia goggles at play here.
These days this game is no higher than a 6/10 and only that high because of historical significance
Re: New Mario Strikers: Battle League Update Resolves Pesky Issue
Probably my most disappointing game on Switch.
The gameplay is really solid but it feels empty, I got bored after a single weekend of playing.
Re: Factorio Is Getting A $5 Price Increase "To Account For Inflation"
Is that 5 extra quid per sale really worth the bad press?
I never heard of this dev but now my first thought about them is they seem greedy.
Re: Fire Emblem Engage Concept Art Shared In New Nintendo 'Ask The Developer' Interview
I actually really like Alear's design and have said so since we first saw them.
Re: Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist Of The End & The Secret Key Has Been Delayed
Gives me time play Octopath 2 so I'm not too annoyed.
Re: Review: Persona 3 Portable - A Fine Series Entry, Though One That's Tough To Return To
@JokerCK Even as a massive fan of the series I see where they're coming from here, this was amazig on PSP when sacrifices had to be made but here I could see why some would be disappointed, especially if they played 4 or 5 first.
Re: Review: Persona 3 Portable - A Fine Series Entry, Though One That's Tough To Return To
For me this is a 10/10 story wrapped in a 8/10 game.
Needs a remake with content from all versions imo.
Re: Review: Persona 4 Golden - A Must-Buy Classic That's Stood The Test Of Time
10/10 for me.
One of the best games ever made and a must play for JRPG fans.
Also I disagree with the music complaint, it's one of the best soundtracks out there and will be stuck in your head for years.
Re: Gallery: Fire Emblem Engage Main Character Designer Shares Stunning Artwork Of Heroes
@steely_pete I don't think it was meant in spite rather that's what she's most known for.
Re: Review: Fire Emblem Engage - Relationships Get Sidelined By A Thrilling Combat-First Focus
That negative is a positive for me as ironic as that sounds given my username/profile image.
Roll on Friday!
Re: PSA: Watch Out, Fire Emblem Engage Leaks Are Appearing Online
Some people just crave that 15 minutes of seeming important sadly.
Re: Video: Check Out This New Fire Emblem Engage Nintendo Switch Gameplay
Preordered it already so Friday cant come soon enough.
Re: Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund Raises Stake In Nintendo To 6%
I hope it doesn't rise any more because I don't like the idea of a country with such closed minded views having a majority stake.
They'd censor everything to fit them.
Re: Story Of Seasons, Rune Factory Producer Developing Brand New Action RPG For Switch
Rear Sekai sure is a weird name.
Are we sure Square Enix isn’t involved?😂
Re: Sports Story Version 1.0.3 Is Now Available, Here's The Full Patch Notes
TBH even if all the bugs are patched this is a wait for a deep sale for me because the actual gameplay sounds like it's taken a step back from the first game.
Re: Review: The Outbound Ghost - A Heartfelt But Ultimately Thin Paper Mario-Like
@Bunkerneath They can only review what they have been given and what the publisher has put out, they can't put a score on a promise.
Re: Review: The Punchuin - A Pleasant, Punchy Puzzler That's Light On Content
Looks okay but £13 for 2 hours of content means I’ll wait for a deep sale, I can get plenty more bang for my buck at that price.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Dragon Quest Treasures
Will probably pick it up if its ever on sale.
Re: Nintendo Unveils Fire Emblem Engage Expansion Pass, Wave 1 DLC Launches 20th January 2023
@CharlieGirl Calling a game that gets DLC an unfinished product is kinda stupid.
The game will still be a full experience worth $60 even without the DLC.

I think people are making too much of this DLC, only 1 pack is day one with the rest coming later and with promise of extra story content showing it could be substantial.

Re: Nintendo Releases Full Statement After Cancellation Of Smash World Tour
As much as anyone hates to admit it Nintendo are well within their right to protect their licences.
At the end of the day its someone else using Nintendo's IP to profit.
Re: NieR: Automata Sales Soar To Seven Million Following Switch Release
@EaglyTheKawaiiShika I like NieR way more than I like Pokemon, Pokemon actually doesn't even enter my top 50 series even so I'd hardly call myself a Pokemon fan.
Re: Good Smile Company Reveals Stunning New Fire Emblem Figure, Pre-Orders Live
No way is there a dude here trying to tell IS what a FE game is.
Re: Video: Here's A Look At Pokémon Scarlet & Violet's Performance (Version 1.1.0)
A small step in the right direction at least.
Re: NieR: Automata Sales Soar To Seven Million Following Switch Release
@KnightsTemplar Why are you comparing it to Pokemon? both series couldn't be more different.
Re: Fire Emblem Engage Characters - Every New And Returning Hero Revealed So Far

Re: Site News: Got A Moment? Would You Kindly Fill Out Our Reader Survey?
Should be easy to know what ads to put on a gaming website without me wasting 10 minutes of my day.
Re: Mugen Souls Gets Uncensored 2023 Nintendo Switch Release
Compile Heart are very hit and miss but they can make the odd hidden gem like Mary Skelter or Death End Re Quest.
Re: Nintendo Isn't Happy About Switch Game Images On Steam
@Crono1973 Yes you are unless it was you that dumped the rom which I doubt.
Re: Nintendo Isn't Happy About Switch Game Images On Steam
Good, now only if they could also target the actual roms.
