Meh, Fire Emblem didn't really get going until FE4. Genealogy of the Holy War is the one that could really use an official localization and QoL features on the Switch, along with Thracia 776 and all the GBA ones.

Fire emblem is a game that I really want to like but I always get bored less than a quarter of the way through the game.

FFT or Tactics Ogre are the only strategy games I ever liked. Tried different FE games but I could never get into them.

Fire Emblem 3 Houses was my first FE game and i really enjoyed it, it was a mix of Harry Potter, X-Com lite, and JRPG

It is a good 2d Zelda game but outside of some quality of life changes like no longer having to manually equip the bracelet and shield to use them it is the same as the Gameboy game. If you never played the Gameboy version well worth a spin otherwise not sure it was worth the full price.

Isle of Armor was kinda meh but I've been pleasantly surprised by Crown Tundra pokemon DLC. Dynamax adventures is a great way to shiny farm.

I need to get off my ass and complete the rest of Isle and finish my pokedex for the shiny charm.

That's like 7 months old, and it wasn't a very good demo. Sounds like they got a lot of feedback on what people didn't like about it though, since the release date was pushed to 2/26/21.

If you want a new demo to try, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity's came out today, and the game itself is still due 11/20. Demo progress carries over to full game too.

It's definitely worth it, but moreso if you have nostalgia for the original. Playing it when you remember / are familiar with the original is a pretty sublime experience. If you're playing LA for the first time you could probably just replace the original with the new version altogether. It won't have the same nostalgia effect obviously, but it's more playable (GB games are a bit rough now).

Re: Fire Emblem: I played FE6 on and it's a great series. If this localization of FE1 means we're getting the rest of the first five, then awesome. I can't wait for the SNES ones in particular. Translations were spotty as I recall which is why I didn't emulate them already.

"Fire Emblem Gaiden" on the NES is the same thing as Fire Emblem 2, right? And it's the same story as that Echoes of Valentia game, yeah?

Also, Angry Video Game News Adventures 1+2 Deluxe came out today on Switch. It's suuuuper good if you like difficult retro platformers. Plays like a classic series Mega Man game. Everything is a steep challenge, but it gives you unlimited lives and tons of checkpoints which keeps the frustration level down. Also has a ton of references to AVGN episodes. Some really funny stuff here, and a bangin soundtrack.
