>XCOM well and alive on PC
Maybe on mainstream consoles it did, but not on the largest scale.

And the new XComs are much better than any Japanese SRPG I've ever played.

It's saved multiple. DS/3DS is competing with Steam with how many genres can be revived by a platform.

>XCom is a turn-based tactics game
>Fire Emblem is a Tactical Roleplaying game
Not the same.

Tell that to Advance Wars.

>implying anyone cares about this shit other than desperate mustards

The game looks so lifeless, boring and slow, I couldn't even justify the 75% reduced price in any of the Steam sale.

I'm sorry western games suck.

I'd rather FE be dead than have another Awakening/Fates.

Both are simply extensions of chess, they're fundamentally identical.

We are getting a remake of the best game in the entire series, what are you talking about???

Is it confirmed for Western release? I've been on call and haven't watched the direct yet. If it is I'm getting a switch.

>FE fates enabled FE2 remakes
It's literally saving the franchise, be glad that they hit the nail on gameplay and hired a better artist.
Also, almost every mechanic complained about aloready existed or was a good idea with poor execution.

No. Game play is different

>Play X-Com EU
>worst story and characters ever, as in they're nonexistent and aren't even worth rating
>gameplay is pure RNG

Nah.

too bad sqenix will never get their head out of their asses to revive the only series they had that mattered

Worldwide same day release 3ds

We don't really know anything about it. 12 added My Unit, and now look how that turned out. Who's to say they won't add in kids and shit in 2?

It is, remake of Gaiden. It's coming to 3DS in the West in May. We are also getting a mainline FE game on Switch.

Nintendo stronk.

>>implying anyone cares

Sorry cuck.

Look at the trailer. The didn't even have Pair Up when two units were side by side.

I don't get why more companies don't make their Big AAA, Money Making Franchises Simultaneous Releases.

Not true. It comes out in April in Japan and May in the US. I'm not sure about other regions.

>1 million people on the most popular platform of all time, and the series is clearly declining after the first, more succesful game
(You)

localization and creation of the media

lots of jap games take a while to come stateside because they aren't sure the gamble is worth it hence FE if coming to the west as Fates almost a whole year later... that's lots of shit to translate


now they know there's a market for it here though so now it will hit on day 1 because they're planning for it

When will Citra be able to emulate FE games without glitched textures taking up the entire screen, or without crashing at crucial moments?

Just use a custom build ;^)

Link me one that isn't horrifyingly outdated, as the only recent one I was able to find still had the glitched textures.

hack ur 3DS or go to gamestop and buy an old one and hack it... it's so easy at this point and available on all firmware 3ds.guide/

I'm not going to buy a 3DS just so I'll be able play the few games on the system I'm interested in.

Well regardless, a 1 month wait between translations and localizations is a fucking short ass time.
It took Fates 7 months to get out of japan

Weird.
I have no problem running fates on standard builds (inb4 works on my machine).
Only awakening shows graphic bugs, but can't you just search "citra FE awajening" on google and you should be able to get one that runs it, it's not like you can't have two citras on your PC.
But i won't lie and say it didn't crash, but only once each, really.

>second game has sold less than both copies of a formerly dying niche franchise on the 3DS

i mean there is a package handler piracy app u can use to basically DL every game on the eshop for free and there are many good games... but i digress.

your argument is that you won't purchase a console to play games you're interested in.

>but only once each.
Maybe I've given up too soon. I'll give it another try
