The Shonen Jump magazine in Japan has pulled the wraps off the first GameCube installment of Nintendo's mega-hit strategy/RPG franchise Fire Emblem.
Fire Emblem recently broke out of Japan with a release of the newest title in the series on Game Boy Advance here in the US. The series is now making the jump to GameCube. The new title features an isometric camera view on a 3D medieval styled world.
For now all we know about the game's story is that it is subtitled "Trial of the Blue Flame." PGC will have more on this exciting news just as soon as we get all the information translated, so stay tuned!

I've been playing Fire Emblem for the GBA constantly- the last RPG I had this much fun with was Grandia 2!

I'm excited which is funny because I haven't even gotten round to playing Fire Emblem for the GBA yet.
Still I am interested in getting it once I have the time. The real reason to be excited is that this is a MAJOR exclusive release for the Cube. It's a killer app and one that cannot be called "kiddy" in any form.If you think about it it's quite brilliant. Nintendo releases Fire Emblem in North America for the GBA first. The GBA has a much larger userbase and thus the game is exposed to more people. Then they release a Cube Fire Emblem game thus drawing any GBA owners who loved the game but don't have a Cube. It's actually quite similar to Pokemon which was a big hit on the Gameboy and spread the success to the N64. Obviously Fire Emblem isn't as popular as Pokemon but the idea is the same and will probably work pretty well.
There's just one problem. Is this game going to be released in North America?

That's the samething I thought of, especially of Grandia II. ( Which I still have for DC )
I think it's the best in the series, ( oppossed to Grandia III for ps2 )
Man I can't wait, I have Fire Emblem playing on my GBPlayer.
It's awesome, I just hate when I lose someone in my party.
especially when I'm starting to like them.
And I've never got to the end..........yet.
I've passed the dragons gate and still going.

GCN has a bright future, but I'm wondering what the big N is doing with the GBA right now? Not many releases that interest me from them in the future.
oh, right, the DS.

You'll have to ask Camelot
only they know!!!heh....... I can't wait for this game to come out.
I knew it was a matter of time.
But I have to ponder this for a minute, Intelligent Systems had trouble doing 3D during the lifespan of the N64.
I hope that's no longer a hurdle anymore.
I hope that we'll get more info and screen shots a.s.a.p.
Thank's PGC for teh scoop.

With this and Paper Mario2, Gamecube is finally getting an RPG boost.
Plus Tales of Symphonia, Baten Kaitos and some new FF game.

In addition to Skies of Arcadia Legends, PSO I, II, and II, and Crystal Chronicles. The Gamecube has a mighty nice RPG scene building up.

I was gonna inform everyone except ... I had school and umm ...Zelda to finish.
Anyway I cant wait for this. I will be honest here... I got Fire Emblem for the GBA ...emulated. And I played it to the end ( almost ) ...then I just stopped. I spent about 20 hours on it ...more then any hand held game ever.
I am hoping to buy this leggaly because an emulated version is nowhere near as great as the real thing. I found this out when I bout Link to the Past for GBA.
Anyway back to topic -
I hope the game turns out a little bit darker then this. I mean Nintendo need a franchise that can sorta replace Zelda ( the darker one ). I hope they dont rush this game. I also hope they have cut scenes ...( not like the ones in the GBA version ) where you can see the vast fields of Theilus.

I also noticed that this game's battle system looks like the one from Final Fantasy Tatics. Lets hope this is true
I expect the battle system will be like that found in the NES/SNES/GBA games. But this is where FFT and all those other console SRPGs got the idea so I doubt you'll be disappointed.

Seriously, could this weekend get ANY better for us? I doubt it. Although I was ecstatic when I saw that RE4 AND MP2 come out with a week of my birthday. ^_^

In any case, I was merely pointing out the differing styles that are possible with cel-shading.
