Fire Emblem devs interested in using the “Echoes” name again if there are more remakes
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 28 Comments
Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia is a remake of Fire Emblem Gaiden, the Japan-exclusive Famicom title. Using that “Echoes” name may not just be a one-time thing.
A new developer quote (probably from Nintendo Dream or another similar Japanese magazine) has one representative from Intelligent Systems saying that “Echoes” would probably be used again with another Fire Emblem make – if one were to be made.
The person stated:
“We put a lot of thought into a title like ‘echoes’ that can let older games ‘echo’ with the modern players. We were very pleased with it, and, if there were to be more remakes, we would likely use the “ECHOES” title again.”
Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia launched in Japan last week. It’s due out on May 19 in North America and Europe.
Thanks to Brian for the tip.

Interview with Kaiji Tang, voice of Odin and Owain from Fire Emblem
Posted on 8 years ago by Zack in 3DS, General Nintendo | 3 Comments
In a recent interview with ComedynGaming, Kaiji Tang shared some details about his experience being the voice for the Fire Emblem: Awakening character Owain and Fire Emblem: Fates character Odin. Many subjects are touched on in the interview, as the interview covers many of Kaiji Tang’s roles outside of Nintendo properties. We’ve collected the quotes relevant to his role in the Fire Emblem series below. Minor spoilers after the break for Fire Emblem: Fates.
On how Tang got his role in Fire Emblem, and any similarities he sees between him and his character:
“I got the role of Owain like any other actor! A studio was having auditions for the game, I popped in and boom! Some sword hand talk later, some bit about time travel and they deemed me memey enough to become the fervent voice of Owain. I love the guy because we’re both huge, huge nerds who aren’t ashamed to let their geek flag fly. If I had special attacks, I think I’d come up with some pretty edgy names for them too. I absolutely have a blast!”
Fire Emblem Heroes: Grand Hero Battle Revival & special quests now live

As was announced yesterday, two previously held Grand Hero Battles, featuring Female Robin and Navarre are available once again in Fire Emblem Heroes. They will be available until May 2nd.
If you already got Robin and Navarre when they first available, you can’t receive them again by beating their Grand Hero Battles a second time. However, you can receive a second copy of each Hero at both of their available rarities by clearing special quests that are available for the duration of this event. Finally, the Helping Hand quests are available once again for the next two weeks. By clearing those, you can get Universal Shards to level up your characters.

Fire Emblem Heroes: Zephiel Grand Hero Battle and Summoning Focus live
Posted on 8 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in Mobile, News | 3 Comments
The Zephiel Grand Hero Battle in Fire Emblem Heroes has begun. Players have got until April 24th to beat the level 30 and level 40 version of this fight to unlock the 3-star and 4-star version of Zephiel, respectively. As always, you must not lose any of your units in battle and Light’s Blessing can’t be used.
If you need some extra characters to help you with this, the Battling Zephiel Summoning Focus is now live. The featured 5-star characters are Hana, Nowi, Reinhardt and Frederick. Their anti-armor capabilities will definitely be useful in the battle against Zephiel.
