Topic: New Japanese Fire Emblem Sites

[Bloodworth]

Two new Fire Emblem sites are online and full of goodies.

On Thursday, Nintendo launched two new Fire Emblem websites in Japan: one for Fire Emblem: Akatsuki no Megami on Wii and a second site that provides a comprehensive look at the series.

   

The site for the Wii game provides us a first look at the characters, an interactive map, and a story synopsis. (Note, this is a direct sequel to GameCube's Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, so there are spoilers here if you haven't finished the previous title.)  The star is a trailer which runs for a minute and a half, showing several cinema sequences from the game.  The scenes show a massive clash of laguz and beorc armies, a dragon slicing a tower from a castle wall, and a bird landing on a girl's finger in green foothills.  Fire Emblem: Akatsuki no Megami releases on February 22nd in Japan and will hopefully make it to the US before the end of the year.

   

Fire Emblem World is a new site that provides a detailed history of the entire FE series.  You can view summaries of each game, watch instructional gameplay videos, survey maps, and browse backgrounds and stats for dozens of classic characters.

Wow, that trailer kicked a$$.

I now have three reasons for keeping my Wii.  This game being the third.
Is it me or is Ike fighting the bird king in that preview?

No, that's the Bengion knight who came to your aid in 9 but then wasn't a playable character.  Which was awesome.

As if I wasn't more psyched for this game already.  Shame I can't read Japanese, there looks to be some interesting new characters revealed.  

I do hope Nintendo hurries up and gets this over here; I can't wait to play.
