As an avid Fire Emblem fan, I have a lot of respect for how far the series has come, especially considering that Awakening was supposed to be the final entry. It’s clear that the new direction for these games clicked very well with western players, breathing new life into a tired chain of tactical RPGs. If essentially “waifu-ing” Fire Emblem up and making the games overall easier to play meant I could still get my Fire Emblem fix every other year, then so be it. However, with Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentina, the developers decided to draw the series back to its roots by remaking the Japan-exclusive Famicom game Fire Emblem Gaiden.

Nintendo lifted the review embargo on Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia earlier today. Below, we’ve rounded up some of the notable verdicts thus far:

Nintendo has released the launch trailer for Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, out this Friday in the west. Watch it below.

After four days, the final round of the Voting Gauntlet is now live for players to try. The last battle will be between the previous victors Tharja and Robin (male). The event will last for 44 hours. You will also be able to collect your Hero Feathers from the last round as well now.

Nintendo Minute unboxed the North American Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia Limited Edition earlier this month. Now we have a look at the European equivalent, posted below.

The second part of the Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia tie-in event is now live in Fire Emblem Heroes. A summoning focus with Celica, Mae, Boey and Genny as the 5-star focus units will be available until May 30th. In addition to that, chapter 11 of the main story, Rite of Shadows, has been added, as well as quests that require you to complete these missions under special conditions.

The latest live stream for the Fire Emblem 0 (Cipher) trading card game was held today. Arguably the biggest piece of news was the announcement of series 11. The Sacred Stones will finally be featured in addition to Fire Emblem Warriors. More cards from Shadows of Valentia will be included, too.

Also during the live stream, fans were treated to a sneak peek of sorts for the Fire Emblem 0 collaboration DLC in Shadows of Valentia. In-game models for Shade, Emma, Yuzu, and Yuzu were shown.

Kirie from Serenes Forest captured a ton of different images from the live stream, posted below. Along with what we already mentioned, there was talk and cards shown for series 10 and more.
