Fire Emblem

The Fire Emblem series, the strategy role playing game series developed by Intelligent Systems, has been enjoying some deserved success lately. The franchise has been going on for quite some time but it’s the release of Fire Emblem: Awakening on Nintendo 3DS that made it really popular in North America and Europe.

Not counting Fire Emblem: Awakening, a few other Fire Emblem games have been released in the past few years. Among them was Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon, the remake of the first ever entry of the series which has been originally released on Nintendo DS a few backs. Starting today, all those with access to the European Wii U eShop are able to purchase and enjoy the game on more modern hardware, as revealed earlier this week.

If you’re wondering how the Nintendo DS game runs on Wii U, you definitely need to check out some Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon gameplay footage that has surfaced online a few minutes ago. The footage, which can be found by going at the end of this post, includes sequences from the very beginning of the game so it’s very light on spoilers.

Speaking of the success of the Fire Emblem series, yesterday it’s been confirmed that Fire Emblem Fates, the latest entry of the series released last week in Japan on Nintendo 3DS as Fire Emblem If, has managed to sell quite a lot in just seven days of availability. According to the Media Create sales chart, Fire Emblem Fates has sold over 300.000 units, with the Black Kingdom and White Kingdom versions selling 260.675 copies and the limited edition, which includes both story paths, selling 42.991 units.

Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon is now available for purchase on the European Wii U eShop. A North American release date has yet to be confirmed but we will let you know more about it as soon as more comes in on it.

Recruited Since Last Month: More Than Eight Million Helldivers 2 Players

The relentless force of Helldivers 2 shows no signs of slowing down, as recent reports indicate that Arrowhead Games Studios, the Swedish developer behind the game, has sold over eight million copies since its release on both PS5 and PC just last month.

According to TD Cowen analyst Doug Creutz (thanks, VGC), who spoke to Bloomberg, it is believed that the game has exceeded expectations in terms of performance. It’s amazing how word-of-mouth buzz and the unconventional guerilla marketing strategy keep driving up recruitment numbers week after week. Arrowhead’s studio motto, “A game for everyone is a game for no one,” reflects their unwavering commitment to their unique internal design philosophy.

It appears that the PC community has recently surpassed the PlayStation fanbase in terms of player numbers and platform preference. However, thanks to crossplay, both groups continue to benefit from the growing popularity of gaming. Although it’s not particularly thrilling to see yet another service game achieve rapid success, the hardcore nature of Helldivers 2 fills us with optimism for Sony’s ongoing live gaming endeavors. We anticipate dedicating ourselves to the defense of Super Earth for many years to come.

What are your thoughts on Creutz’s sales estimate? Does it come as a surprise to you? Does it exceed or fall short of your expectations? Have you noticed any changes in your level of enthusiasm for the Democratic Party? Has it waned or grown stronger? We would greatly appreciate your feedback in the comments section below.

E3 is long gone, but that doesn’t mean we won’t have any exciting video game events this summer.

In a recent tweet, Keighley assured his followers that a large number of fans will be present at the event, both in person and online.
