Nintendo of America today released a TV commercial for its upcoming tactical role-playing game. Exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS, Fire Emblem: Awakening launches at retailers and in the Nintendo eShop on February 4th in North America. Also launching on that day is the Fire Emblem: Awakening Nintendo 3DS hardware bundle, which will retail for $199.99. To those who’ve played through the demo of the game, which is downloadable for free from the Nintendo eShop, share your impressions in the comments below.
the demo is great!
Looks great! I haven’t turned on my 3DS in a while, but I’ll have to try the demo.

Do characters still die permanently in this game? That always bugged me.
yes, though there’s a casual mode for wusses now
which doesn’t kill people off
Might pick it simply because of that. Hahaha. Seriously, I try to do my best but in, Fire Emblem’s case when people die they don’t come back and you have a whole story in front of you, it’s hard to always keep making the right decisions. I see this “Casula Mode” as a practice mode so you can get the hang of it and, once you become good, you can tackle the real thing.
I believe I will enjoy casual mode, not a fan of restarting chapters all the time. Seriously, this will just simplify things.
Same here! I hate when I loose a core character in the very begining of the game! This is a great way to get used to the games and it’s strategies before the deaths really count! :D
only on hight difficulties
Go buy Xcom enemy Unknown and play on Iron Man difficulty. You get emotionaly attached to certain characters only to have them anihilated.
It’s the worst thing ever , but entertaining none the less.
this is why i just have to play the casual mode cause of the emotional attachment
Me too! In Shadow Dragon, I lost a lot of characters right at the start T_T
Shadow Dragon isn’t a very good example…about 95% of the units were flat characters who barely said anything (aside from a death quote) and in order to get the bonus chapters you had to keep your army to a certain number…meaning you’d have to purposely kill a LOT of characters.
IKR? You like consider if you should have a funeral for that characters brave virtual soul :( … lol!

play a real game like Okami stupid nintendobaby
Why wouldn’t you want your characters to die permanently? At least then you’ll pay more attention to them.
already reserved
this is my game right here. it better not tick me off like sticker star did.
hahaha,NO.This isn’t a mario game,they will probably take it seriously on this one.Tried the demo and i gotta admit,the plot points is really interesting me now.
This game will NOT disappoint. Everything about this game is amazing (assuming you are partial to SRPGS), and it is NOT a disappointment.
Tick you off by the changed gameplay?
Sticker Star didn’t actually just ”change the gameplay”, but rather removed everything that was good about Paper Mario.
Fire Emblem is the “good stuff” man… Nintendo would not dare to screw it up.
^ this
Sticker Star was a mess :/ and this is coming from someone who puts Thousand Year Door in his Top 10
I haven’t gotten a new game for my 3DS since Mario Kart……….
If you bought Mario Kart when it first launched then you’ve missed out on a LOAD of games.
NSMBU , Mario Tennis Open , Paper Mario SS, Kingdom Hearts dream drop distance , Resident evil revelations , Snake eater 3D , Professor Layton , Virtues Last reward , Tales of the abyss , Kid icarus uprising , and more , and a load of Eshop games.
NSMBU isn’t on the 3DS :P BUt yes, a lot of those games listed are amazing.
Meant NSMB2……. There’s no difference right jellybean ? :p….
NSMBU >>>>> NSMB2 .
There is no difference, both are pretty bad.
There’s a lot of difference and NSMBU is excellent in my opinion. It’s an awesome launch title and Im still colecting star coins and doing challenge mode , coop etc to this day since I bought the wiiu and the game on 29th of November UK launch,
I live in America and got my Wii u on Christmas. By the time you got you copy I had beaten the story mode of mine :)
None of them really caught my attention and I didn’t know I would have to wait THIS LONG for Luigi’s Mansion.
I know I bought my 3DS mainly to play Luigis Mansion and Animal Crossing. I Have been waiting for over a year. I mean I bought Icarus, MK And 3d land, but I finished those games…
Not everyone likes those games dude.
Where are you going with this?
This trailer is so awesome. Damn, I’m pumped
Nice trailer! I enjoyed the demo for the most part. The cutscenes are absolutely gorgeous and the voice acting is actually pretty good. The battlefield uses sprites for the characters still which surprised me but the battle system is rendered in 3D which is good. The new support system is awesome and adds a whole new layer of strategy to the already great formula that Fire Emblem has. I can tell that this game will be the best in the series.
what I like most is how you can pair up two units. Makes it easier to gain dual strikes.
Demo isn’t even out in Australia yet ;~; WHY NINTENDO!? WHY!?
the game will be out in april in Australia, its two months later than in the US
Gaaah! I hate waiting ;~;
Not Europe either :<
this logo looks aweful comparing with the Japanese version
I don’t have the necessarily-high-capacity for micro-management and future planning to make myself successful when playing Tactical RPG’s like this, and I’m the kind of person that really feels like I’m just not having fun when I kill someone off that I liked a lot due to one single bad decision.
Soooo, yeah, I’ll be skipping this one.
Glad for those who like it, but it’s not my schtick.
Same. I like strategy games, but I would find the permanent death of characters more frustrating than anything else. Good on those who like that style, but not for me.
The main draw of perma-death in Fire Emblem is the Player Punch factor of it. Each character (earliest Fire Emblems nonwithstanding) has some semblance of an identity to you, the player, even some having full-blown personalities, such as a Yandere Dark Mage, or a Klutzy Pegasus Knight, or even a tomboy-ish Cavalier. And once you see their HP hit zero, they are gone. Barring a few special exceptions, they are never to come back, ever. And the game will remind you in events that would have included the dead character, even their ending at the end of the game, it flat-out says nothing came of them because they died. It’s mainly to generate a lot of care towards your units, and make sure they live to fight, talk, and enjoy life for another day.
Even so, I can see why it’s annoying. Thing is, this game has a way to turn Perma-Death off, by choosing casual mode. It’s pretty much the same, except units retreat when they lose their HP, and will be available again as soon as the battle ends. As long as the main characters don’t die (which automatically generates a Game-Over) you can let as many characters fall as you please.
Even so, it’s still your call.
Same. I’m not big on turn based games of any kind, my only exception so far being Shining Force. It’s a shame, everything about the game looks amazing except for the gameplay which just isn’t my cup of tea.
I kinda feel the same…never played shining force, but the only two I have ever been able to hold any interest in that are turn-based were Paper Mario:TTYD and Baten Kaitos.
The 3DS bundle of this AND Sly Cooper right after it… February seems very promising.
What crap ware. When will nintendo stop making stupid side scrollers. I know there consoles can’t handle 3d movement but come on release something somewhat modern
PFFFFFFFFTT… AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHA XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD
Shut up! It may be a sidescroller, but it’s a good sidescroller!
It’s not a sidescroller. It’s a turnbased strategy RPG. The overworld is done with Sprite work and the Cutscenes and fighting is rendered in full 3D.
Dude I love Fire Emblem but it’s a sidescroller and that’s a fact. Look at the battle sequences. SIDE SCROLLER hahaha!
(facepalm) How can it be a sidescroller without scrolling? not to mention the fact that you can put it in First Person.
Don’t even bother replying to an obvious troll with actual facts.
I bet it’s actually Bill under another name.
These retards insist on this game NOT being a side scroller, but it is. That is all Nintendo makes, besides crappy outdated and unmanly hardware.
~THE REAL Bill~
Nintendo hard-ware is too manly for you, that is why you lack the ability to see the manlyness in it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUjaiv9oRus
seriously hope you were kidding as Trolls are always Jackasses who never even check what there talking about.You know,since Manly PC fans aren’t stupid right,since you know PC fans have the internet ON their PC to check.
Just an advice: you should stop trying to troll people by going around and saying obvious false facts that can easily be proven wrong.
What you’re doing it just…sad.
Fire Emblem is NOT a side scroller. Why are you derp DeRp ReTaRded!?!?
Can’t wait. Hopefully I can speed through the game quick enough to get some supports for Serenes Forest Forums, but I will enjoy it nonetheless.
Zombies?.. I catch that right?
Path of Radiance was my first Fire Emblem; I replayed missions whenever I lost a character;)
Technically, yes, there are zombies. And a good story reason for them too.
I still wonder why the charcaters (When they are walking around) dont have feet? Just stumps lol.
Honestly, that’s one of the things that turned me off when I played the demo. Is it really that hard to add feet?
The cut-scenes seemed cool, but this gameplay doesn’t seem to fit my style :/
Awesome! I LOVE SIDESCROLLERS!
Any don’t you all play a real game like halo instead of playing a fat plumber who likes underage girls and is gay with his brother.
PFFFFFTTT… AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA XD XD XD
You are the worst troll ever. Bill, Aeolus, Ness, and Neutron will laugh at how few replies you get.
Don’t pick on Amy, asshole. Nobody likes you, virgin Nintendo gamer.
~THE REAL Bill~
thanks bill, you are a real man!
You’re not a real woman , you’re a ho !!!! LMAO!!!!!
like you would know what a real women even looks like you perma virgin nintendo fan!
Real women don’t troll on a Nintendo site you skanky bitch. You must be the worlds worst woman. All the rest of the real woman have got better things to do with their life and are not fucking stupid enough to right the incoherent dog shit that you do on a video game site.
I don’t know, I mean Amy is pretty annoying, but I could list worse women ;)
Hahahah true that but they stay in there own turf ………the shoes section lololol.
lol good one ward get that bitch
You must be one ugly girl.
Exactly how nobody likes you and Amy but yourselves
Gaylo fucking sucks ass, like you.
Implying Halo is a real game…
…you lost me there xD
You are still derp DeRp RetArDed!
If only Nintendo could make Wii U commercials as good as this one.
Amy, people keep telling you this isn’t a side scroller! The demo was great! I am so getting this as soon as I get a 3DS. My first FE game. Hold me!
Shhh… Amy enjoys living in Illogical Land.
^hahahahahahaha!
No, this is patrick
I had no plans buyying this game but after the demo.. Im sold day 1 purchase for me
you are a panda, who is in porn
People like Amy can’t force us to play games we don’t to play. Mario is the most beloved and praised video game mascot ever. Did you guys know i have a Mario emulator for my PS3 and Vita?
Wait, you can get emulators for Vita? WHY AM I JUST FINDING OUT ABOUT THIS NOW!?
SOOOO Epic! XD
This game I will get. sigh, I just can’t lose my units because if I do all hell will break loose
The demo is great, and it looks good in 3D. I will be picking this one up eventually
So looking forward to this.
This should make up for the crapfest Intelligent Systems gave us with Paper Mario: Sticker Star. As much as I like Mario, that game was just plain boring.
A good Nintendo commercial?
Is this real life or just a fantasy?
Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
In the DS game, Aliens, If you lost a marine, that was it. I love the finality of having to make decisions and live with the choices.
I played the demo twice. Day one purchase for me. Maybe even commit and download it.
I swear, Bill and Amy are obviously the same person. Bill probably just started to write post under a different name to convince himself that someone agrees with him and has the same uneducated opinion.
Well, whether or not they’re the same guy, Just ignore him/them because he/they probably want to compensate for a lack of attention in the real world by getting (highly negative) attention on the internet.
This almost makes me feel bad for him.
it direct convents me please explain more.thanks
Mayhap this be the breakout game for the 3DS.
I think it’s going to be the best game for the 3DS till date (maybe Animal Crossing or Pokemon will be better in the far future). The demo was addicting, the story is interesting and the characters are great. It seems it has a lot of posibilities. Definitely a must (:
Loved it, i already pre-ordered the game
this yet another game nintendo has released upon america and its only gana sell if 300,000 copies if that. damn renegade kid cant waite for the new fps im gana be playing.
I’ve never lol’d so hard in my life.
