Thanks for clarifying. I thought it disappeared after March 2021, but you just can't purchase it after that time.

It's the very first FE and would probably be very difficult for new fans to get into without the included QoL features.As someone who enjoyed Fire Emblem: Awakening and Three Houses (but hasn't played any other Fire Emblem games), is this game good?
I hate shit like this cause it's literally just them forcing people to jump in quick to get it to maximize profit. I despise shit like this. Hated it when Disney would constantly do it too.Fuck this is going to be a trend with them now. Fuck off Nintendo, seriously.
No it was not the same and it wasn't digital
ffs people stop defending this
Is it FE1 or FE3?
Appart from looking better than Shadow Dragon on DS, what are the difference story wise?
A $6 Famicom Fire Emblem port is not exactly lucrative, so no, I really don't.
The Mario one could be argued for sure, but it seems that at this point this just happens to be their philosophy on anniversary releases, which to be fair is in line with most other forms of merchandise products, and it's not exactly causing anybody harm.
There's nothing stopping people from wishing they were around permanently, and I get wanting something to be there forever, but the outrage seems a bit forced. There's people saying they are thinking of never supporting Nintendo again. Nobody should be that upset because of a $6 video game being released.
And those suggesting Nintendo will go forward with this and put limited releases on main games like Prime 4 are clearly concern trolling, so I don't find it hard to believe others are as well.
It won't.I know it sucks it's limited for the download too, but I bet this comes on NSO a year from it's release
You don't know what you're talking about. Yes, a simple ROM dump would cost virtually nothing, but this isn't that -- not by any stretch.
FE1's enhancements, localization, and font proportioning all mean that this is a specially enhanced version of the game, which took time and money to create.
You aren't paying $6 for an NES game. You're paying for the work that went into newly localizing and modernizing that NES game.
You know, the stuff that takes fan translators years of work to do? Companies don't do that for free. $6, however, is quite the damn bargain.
The difficulty with this limited release, limited editions, is that it's hard to see a "victim". All those other practices you listed definitely have victims. Mainly people who were deceived by the company involved.Video games aren't necessary.
So please let companies continue with lootboxes, microtransactions, DRM, overpriced DLC, on disk DLC, region locking, releasing unfinished products, etc, etc.
Don't complain about anything involving video games whatsoever, doesn't matter how bullshity, manipulative, anti-consumer, or exploitative, it's a non-essential so you lose any right to have any sort of problem with it.
Good to know thanks!The DS version added a short prologue that works as a tutorial, like the Lyn story in FE7.
There are the gaiden maps too but those only appear if you are below a certain total unit count, as a way to give you new characters if you had too many deaths.
Mother 3, limited release to 24 hours, and you have to climb through a tunnel of broken glass on your hands and knees naked while Itoi flogs you with a whip
- This is a FE for which we never got an English translation/release. I believe there was even a thread a week or two back where someone was lamenting that we probably will never see FE1 get an official English release.
I don´t know, man. but a limited release isn´t predatory for me. IMO, a half assed game for $60 and a promise that the game will last for years and then abandoned is shitty, a game released for $60 and then getting an update for a thousand things is shitty. You may not like this, but this doesn´t even com close to some things we see like a full priced games with adds.Video games aren't necessary.

Yeah, I'm literally seeing people in Twitter saying "this is abusive, but I'm still buying it". First of all, it's not like the company makes you. Second, you're dumb as hell.
Could set a precedent for future releases from Nintendo. If Super Mario 3D All-Stars and this sell a shit load despite being limited releases, who's to say they won't do the same for Odyssey 2 or the next mainline Fire Emblem?
Imagine if we finally get that first footage of Metroid Prime 4, it looks all glorious, and at the end of the trailer when they show the release date, they show the words "For a limited time only".
Fine, you know what? You fucking win, I look forward to when mainline games start getting limited releases because clearly it works and people will defend it.The difficulty with this limited release, limited editions, is that it's hard to see a "victim". All those other practices you listed definitely have victims. Mainly people who were deceived by the company involved.
But Limited Releases/Editions? Are we saying we should feel sorry for people who didn't get a chance to spend their money on what could be considered a luxury item?
Tetris 99 and Mario 35 are online specific games that you need NSO to take full advantage of. FE1 is a stand-alone download that doesn't require online. Even the NSO library requires a weekly online check-in.Sure that took development time and cost but you know what else did? Tetris 99 and Mario 35 and both of those games are free with NSO. And more work was probably put into those titles than the localization work needed for an NES game. So again I think this should have been part of the NSO NES app. They're just doing this to exploit the novelty factor here.
Yeah, I said it before in the thread of Mario. Basically every anniversary product is limited. It wouldn´t make sense to have a 35th anniversary product available on the 38th year. Whether we like it or not.Of course, it's likely the case with 3/4 of people who complain about anything like this on the internet.
If anything it'd set yet another precedent for anniversaries, as they've been doing this with anniversary collections for a decade, and otherwise they would be doing it with Age of Calamity too.
Go buy Four Swords for your 3DS and get back to me.We can't assume anything, but there's reason to believe they will. They've put everything they can on VC, and there's precident of a limited time game ending up NSO with star fox 2. I agree that the limited time thing is shitty but I doubt this is the last we've heard of this game.
As someone who enjoyed Fire Emblem: Awakening and Three Houses (but hasn't played any other Fire Emblem games), is this game good?
I'm a little confused with the timeline with the remakes. It looks like this one was re-made as Shadow Dragon on DS (which was localized), but was only the first part of this?
Oh shit someone should tell Nintendo that Ocarina of Time 3D is still up on the 3DS eshop!Yeah, I said it before in the thread of Mario. Basically every anniversary product is limited. It wouldn´t make sense to have a 35th anniversary product available on the 38th year. Whether we like it or not.
It's not in the EU version of the trailer so I think it's NA exclusive.Any news on the Aniversary Edition coming out in the EU? I cant find anything from EU places
Why limit the availability of a digital game?Isn't it Fire Emblem's anniversary, just like Mario? I don't think Nintendo will make a habit of this personally. Pikmin 3 isn't a limited release - It's not Pikmin's anniversary. Aren't these titles given limited runs because of these anniversaries?
Edit: right, 30th anniversary.
That game got a reprint in the Selects program. Now try finding the CD.Oh shit someone should tell Nintendo that Ocarina of Time 3D is still up on the 3DS eshop!
I bought that last month but it's not the 25th anniversary anymore!
But it was released on an anniversary!That game got a reprint in the Selects program. Now try finding the CD.

The games are on NSO in Japan.
I mean, sure. Their product, their rules. I won´t buy it. If I don´t like a product or how is handled I don´t buy stuff. Hope you don´t buy it as well, because your criticism is all for nothing then.But it was released on an anniversary!
But I can still buy it digitally!!
THAT'S AGAINST THE RULES!!!!
Ocarina of Time 3D wasn't released to celebrate an anniversary though.Oh shit someone should tell Nintendo that Ocarina of Time 3D is still up on the 3DS eshop!
I bought that last month but it's not the 25th anniversary anymore!
