flameboy Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Exactly, the Wii is a great console for multiplayer fun, as I have discovered, but i'm getting tired of party game after party game and a massive lack of epics. Wii needs some RPG loving, and this is going to be immense. Non fire emblem players buy PoR, I got it a few months ago and my oh my i don't regret it.I reckon this'll be the best selling FE game worldwide yet. yeah massive lack of epics is definitly the way to describe, I guess more will surface as the consoles userbase increases and publishers start to produce more and more games (this is of course taking for granted the wii starts continuing it's growth of sales), we will see the party games and family accessible titles, but think we will start to see more of this type of title, I wish I knew when this was coming out, so can decide whether it's worth getting the cube one (guess it will be expensive where ever I find it from?) Just hope it happens sooner rather than later, enjoying playing Majora's Mask at the moment, but it's nothing on a brand new wii title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stocka Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Famitsu have given it: 8 / 8 / 8 / 9 - (33/40) Anyone know what they gave PoR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teppo Holmqvist Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Anyone know what they gave PoR? 9/9/9/10. But seriously, Famitsu's reviews are pretty much pointless, as actual quality of game seems to have little to do with given score. Some fun examples from the recent history; 007: Russia with Love 35 points, Sonic the Hedgehog 34, Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire 36*, etc. * Its average score at Gamerankings is 37.6 % Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeldaFreak Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 It depends they look more at story first though - and they try to pick out the positives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Famitsu Fire Emblem review: - The game is a sequel to the GC game and retains all the standards and elements of FE - Gameplay is still very traditional, one reviewer mentions that it doesn't use any control scheme where you move the remote (he gave it a 9) - The game is hard, like the rest of the series, with perm death - For beginners it is highly recommended to go through the new tutorial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcj metroid Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 so this is as good as we expected.good i will look forward to this baby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stocka Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Gameplay is still very traditional, one reviewer mentions that it doesn't use any control scheme where you move the remote So it doesn't even let you use it as a pointer? That's a little disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emasher Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 remember though how we "weren't" going to be able to swing the wii-mote as a sword in zelda. edit: i thought soth was the only old character but thats Jill in that picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrocasilva Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 So it doesn't even let you use it as a pointer? That's a little disappointing.Quoted for truth. Oh well, Fire emblem is Fire Emblem, bring it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameboy Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 so do we have to use classic controller or the cube controller with this, or can you use the wiimote/nunchuk just it has no pointer or motion controls? I'm not bothered either way just wondering... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zechs Merquise Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I said it didnt have any Wiimote controls!!! I reckon you'll be able to use classic, GC and Wiimote but on it's side! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcj metroid Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 well i wont buy a classic when i have 4 gc controller.i may just use the wiimote on its side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fierce_LiNk Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 YES! Pointer controlling lives! That's pretty cool. What will the pointer be used for? (has never played an FE game before ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stocka Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 That's pretty cool. What will the pointer be used for? (has never played an FE game before ) It'll replace how you use the control stick on Path of Radiance to select units, select option, etc. Think how you select on Advance Wars if you know that. You should definately buy Path of Radiance, I bought it fairly recently after having passed on it for some reason when it came out, and now I could probably say it's one of my favourite GC games/RPGs.

pedrocasilva Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I'm not putting my hand on fire on that one... I mean... it doesn't mean it can be used as a pointer, just that you can hold the wiimote in that "one-handed" position, you still use the D-pad for the same things... the way I see it I'll play with the wiimote NES-style, a pointer function would rock (but I'm not expecting it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It still seems to point out that its using the d-pad (otherwise why would there be an arrow to it at all - like in the sideways position picture), its just replaced the 1 and 2 buttons with A and B!

Amon Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I will definitely import this game and japanese Wii from yesasia.com - the cheapest option for importers (as I recently discovered). I know kana and some kanjis. However, I don't know what I'll be reading from the game 99% of the text. Still, being the first among the first ones to play the game is in my mind worth it, even though I'll be spoiling myself from some of the story, just the way I did with both of the Baten Kaitos-games. Oh, yes. I'm definitely nuts for RPGs, so desperate for them to have on my Ninty-consoles. Yet, I decline from purchasing PS2 as of now. But, back to point. I adored FE:PoR so much, I even toyed with the thought of importing the japanese version, just so I could see if I could recognize some of the jap text from the PAL-version. I also fell in love with all the characters, so that's why my desire to aquire Faia Embremu: Akatsu no Megami is so strong. @-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 The control schemes seem to be Wiimote NES style, Classic/GC, and "Tanks" style (from Wii Play). You know how you can use only the remote, but its not very comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeldaFreak Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Yeah well. Its all about the story in this game, had the same gameplay for all this time if the box ain't broke no need to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pit-Jr Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I can't believe they haven't used the pointer, i really can't. Theyre not using the pointer? The pointer is begging to be used for games like this. Seemed like a no-brainer. This is both lazy and disappointing if true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
