Customer Ratings & Reviews

You’re getting a digital version of the first Fire Emblem game, which is a 30 year old game. This game definitely plays like it’s 30 years old. The UI is clunky by modern standards, and the game lacks some of the basic features present in all modern Fire Emblem games, such as the battle forecast (tells you how much damage you’ll deal and take and your odds of hitting and getting hit) and the highlighted movement grid that tells you how far your selected character can move. However, a bookmark feature, which makes the game easier to play in short bursts, and a turn rewind feature, which allows you to undo mistakes, were added. All in all, you should get it if you like Fire Emblem games and NES-era games. If you’re not a fan of NES games, you should probably avoid this game.

It's fun for how old it is. Enjoyable enough and easy to turn on and play a little while if you are on a time constraint. UI is a little wonky and frustrating to get through, however. I feel like they could have fixed that a bit better, instead of only allowing 2x time speed on certain parts. Because if you want to read dialogue but also speed through the slow-ish menu, it skips the dialogue as well. And that is annoying.

I have fond memories for NES games. However, when I replay them, usually they disappoint. This one cannot because IT'S NEVER BEEN RELEASED BEFORE! So it's really a new game for me. It's got all the nostalgic sounds I remember, but I don't have any memories of it that can be ruined by remembering it being better than it was. The music can get a little grating at times, but I'm really, really impressed at how deep this game is for being an NES game. It's surprising the depth of the units available. It does not tell you its secrets, so be prepared to be frustrated or consult a guide. These games USED to come with paper books that gave you backstory and help, of course, so that's one thing you're missing from the start. I'm only a bit of the way through, but it's an interesting story, and seems to be more promising the further I get.

After 30 Years this Game has Finally been translated and brought over to the west, and even has a save state function!

Pretty cool retro game it's different it's not your modern day FE title so don't expect it to be

Yeah! First time will be playing this. Gameplay looks fun. Nice port on Switch.

Good game for a good price, wouldn't recommend to people new to the series but you can't buy it now anyways so :^)

I don't like how it's a limited release, BUT release choices aside Fire Emblem is a solid game! The emulation's pretty decent as well, it feels pretty at home on the Switch.

Solid game and a return to the classics. Highly recommend it as it will not be available after march.

Got the download quickly, purchased this in addition to the collectors edition. Good price.

Fun game! Great way to kill some time playing a fun game!

It's great to have this classic for the first time, gotta get it while you can

Good game and great price. Would recommend for any fan of Fire Emblem games

Great classic game on modern device just feels right.

Great game for fe fans not the best game to start with tho

this is a good game, if you are in rpg types of games

classic fire emblem game finally coming to states was delivered in email promptly on release day

Its a pretty good game, but previous titles were better in my opinion.

I haven’t played any other games in the fire emblem series so I didn’t know what to expect. It was cute but naturally simplistic since it is an nes game. I only played an hour or two of it before I got bored, but it was interesting to see this games origins.
