You know, I almost get not putting this in with the NSO NES classics if they had to put resources and time into localizing this and want to recoup that, but also making it limited time is just.... come on man.
Can't really ask for more money, it's a NES release no matter the QoL additions they've made in addition to the localization.
The early FE games didn't age too well.
The thing is NSO already lets you rewind games, so wtf is the point?
That trailer was great
Oh for god's sake
This is a really concerning trend now.

OH DAMN!!!
I guess the extra localization resources are why this isn't on NSO. But still, this is massive!

I see that got time to localize an old ass NES game and not Mother 3 though.
Lmao limited time bullshit for all their anniversary shit.

I get the 30th Anniversary Edition being limited, but the goddamn eshop version too? STOP NINTENDO PLEASE
On one hand, extreme disappointment that this isn't physical. Butt on the other, I count this as "extraordinary circumstance" so I'll try to snag the anniversary edition.
Incredible news, good lord. I love Fire Emblem.

Gamers shocked that localization costs money, more at 11
But I do agree with y'all the scarcity is bullshit. Like it's excusable on physical products but digitally? Makes no sense.

Limited time? Nintendo need to stop this shit. Zero reason for a digital game to be limited release.
Too bad that limited edition isn't the game on a real NES cart. Was thinking it was a legit NES release for a moment.
Edit: Looks like the digital too if the link is anything to go by. Doesn't specify the 30th anniversary edition (I misread that above). Lame.
It's just like 3D Allstars a celebration release because FE has it's 30th anniversary this year.
This limited stuff isn't going to be the standard for any regular release ...
I'm impressed they went ahead and did this. The cost is minimal... I'm in!
MAY even get that collector's edition to have if the price isn't too nuts.

If Metroid Prime Trilogy gets a limited time release too and no one buys it still I'm gonna laugh.
Wow! Did not expect that.
At least it will be better than the remake. "KIll your allies to access extra levels" my ass...

And most companies don't make this kind of thing a limited release. This is just shit all around, that Nintendo have now done it twice in one year.
I'm extremely happy that this got localized, the limited time thing is a headscratcher but I will eat this up, guilty as charged.
Didn't see this coming. Here's hoping the Jugdral and Binding Blade are localized as well.
Also boo that it's limited time!

At least its only 6 bucks. Should be an NES Online game but can't have that service have too much value! Just give me fuckin' Mother 3 since you want to go and localize shit.
The thing is technically they already localized it when they remade this game for the DS. I'm 90% sure they just shoved the translation for that game into this.
You want to really get me excited, announce a localization of Binding Blade (the Fire Emblem game that Roy is from). We got the prequel (released as Fire Emblem for GBA) so why the hell not?
You guys better get ready for Nintendo to do the same next year with Zelda, by the way.
The rewind features here look a lot more optimal than NSO's rewind, and while NSO does have a bookmark feature, it was very manual whereas this looks more automatic.

Yeah, I'm not going to whine about it at this price, as much as I take issue with vaulting to hype front-loading of sales.
