Fire Emblem TCG releasing in Japan this summer
Posted on 9 years ago by Dennis Gagliardotto(@LyonHart_) in News | 18 Comments
Trading card games have always been a special breed of addictive insanity, with dedicated fan bases in Magic The Gathering, Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, a plethora of licensed TCGs and most recently Hearthstone. Adding to the list this summer is Fire Emblem 0, a new TCG releasing in Japan on June 25th, 2015.
First thing you notice right away from taking a glance at the starter decks and booster pack above is the incredible art associated with it. What the rules of the game are and how it’ll all work out are still unknown, but the designs of the cards are so pretty that, even if it turns out to be extremely convoluted, there is no shame in collecting these just to marvel at them. Admit it, you used to do it back in the day when the Pokémon TCG initially released.
No word yet on if this will be released outside of Japan, but with the right marketing I think this could end up being something big worldwide. Fire Emblem has always been a niche title, but with Awakening blowing up and the copious amount of news we’ve had lately regarding Fire Emblem If, amiibo and the Shin Megami Tensei crossover, I have no doubt that interest in Fire Emblem is at an all time high right now and could easily be taken to the forefront of Nintendo franchises – in terms of popularity like Mario, Metroid, Zelda, Kirby and more – with the right push.
If these ever got released outside of Japan, would you be interested in delving into the Fire Emblem TCG? Is your wallet ready for it? We’ve all spent hundreds, if not thousands of dollars on a TCG at some point in our lives. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

Patch due out next week to address glitch issue with Elliot Quest
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
Elliot Quest suffers from a few issues on Wii U. Destructoid points out that the frame rate dips considerably after Elliot obtains his first ability when used in areas with multiple enemies or weather effects. That’s on top of other problems, such as one in which the player exits an area, only to be taken to a different part of the map.
Destructoid additionally mentions the following in its report:
In the northern part of the map, you’ll find two graveyards. The northmost one has a boss fight and the one below that has a gravestone that can be pushed to fall into a crypt where you find a painting. Upon exiting this crypt, the game glitched, causing me to go back to the area where the aforementioned boss fight took place, only now there was no way to exit the stage and the game saved in this area.
Thankfully, PlayEveryware is aware of the glitch and is already on the case. A patch has already been submitted to Nintendo and should hopefully release next week. We’ll let you know when it goes live.

Nephil’s Fall funded on Kickstarter, should eventually head to Wii U
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
Following a month-long campaign, Nephil’s Fall reached its funding goal over on Kickstarter. Fans ended up pledging $32,656 in order to make the game a reality.
Nephil’s Fall is a 2D fantasy platformer featuring Metroidvania gameplay. The title also sports “several unique mechanics, beautifully illustrated interactive environments, a deep story-line and great replayability potential.”
Since Nephil’s Fall has been funded, Exordium Games should eventually develop the title for Wii U. PC, Mac, and Linux are initially being targeted, but Wii U’s logo is included on the Kickstarter page. Exordium would also “love to bring Nephil’s Fall to every single platform”, including consoles and handhelds.
Those who are interested in Nephil’s Fall can find more information on the Kickstarter page. You can also watch a video below.
Thanks to Jake for the tip.
