Fire Emblem TCG releasing in Japan this summer
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!
