Nintendo Direct for Fire Emblem

This past Wednesday, Nintendo held a Fire Emblem Nintendo Direct -- they showed some gameplay of a New 3DS game called Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadow of Valentia, Fire Emblem Warriors for New 3DS and the Nintendo Switch. And speaking of Switch they also mentioned a brand-new game just for the Switch, more information in 2018, and last was the biggest one because it releases on Feb 2nd, Fire Emblem: Heroes which is going to be release for mobile devices.



Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadow of Valentia is going to be a sequel to Fire Emblem Gaiden – which did not have a North American release. Everything from the gameplay has been changed and reworked. They talked about free roaming, recreating the world, and character customization. This will be released for the 3DS on May 17th.

Fire Emblem Warriors didn’t show much, just a trailer. This game is developed by Keoi Tecmo, and their game isn’t any different from all the other Dynasty Warriors clone. More to come in this year, and will be released for Nintendo Switch and New 3DS.

They didn’t show or talked about anything regarding the new Switch title. They just mentioned it and more to come in 2018.


Now for the bulk of the Direct, Fire Emblem: Heroes which is for mobile only. They talked more in-depth about this game more than anything else. It will have an original story just for this version. You will play as a summoner and call upon the heroes from all the Fire Emblem games. Each battle will have an 8x6 grid designed for smartphones, Nintendo said, that the triangle weapon system will be the same as in other Fire Emblem games.

Like in any smartphone RPG games you can upgrade your heroes and can even summon other heroes to help. Although those summoned heroes come at a real-world cost, and can be purchased at an in-game store.

The story isn’t the only mode you can experience, there will be four modes at launch:
·         The first is Story Maps, which allows the player to challenge and capture familiar heroes
·         Second is the Training Tower, this lets you play in various battle sequences in multiple difficultly. You can earn rewards and experience that you can repeat over and over, each time you complete a challenge new enemies and terrain will change.

·         Thirdly is Arena Duels, this is a PvP mode that allows you to challenge other summoners around the world. Your high score and rank determines what rewards to get.
·         Fourth and last are Hero Battles, which are timed under special maps, and different battles to experience, which are also timed. Find and defeat the main enemy and convince them to join your army.

Fire Emblem Heroes will be released for Android on Feb 2nd and on IPhone later.

Destiny 2’s New “Gambit” Mode Revived the Game’s Competitive Scene

Destiny 2’s competitive scene has always been a second thought compared to the co-op PvE activities. At the launch of Destiny 2 Bungie tried a different more team-play orientated approach with an all 4v4 pvp match-up. Over time players got tired of that formula, especially, the way players were strategizing. The only way to be competitive is to team-shot a player at long distance, this was the only way everyone played. This kept the matches long and stale. Bungie understood the frustration and decided that they will change something about the Crucible (PvP). In July, Bungie pushed an update that changed the 4v4 format for Crucible to a 6v6, just how it was like in Destiny 1. Adding two more players on a team might not seem like a big change, but it completely changes how freely your team can strategize, this is especially true with solo matchmaking. Bungie knocked it out of the park with this change, of course they had a lot of help from the community. The community wanted th...

Final Fantasy 14’s Beautiful and Interesting Landscapes

Final Fantasy as a series – has always had incredible graphics from character models to vistas and landscapes. This day in age graphics aren’t as important as they use to be, but boy there have been some amazing sights only videogames can create . Final Fantasy 14 might not be the best looking Final Fantasy , but it is the best looking MMO. I’ve been playing for two weeks now and over that time I got time to explore FF14 ’s latest expansion Stormblood. I’m going to show pictures of all the landscapes and vistas I loved, while giving some lore bits with some photos. Baelsar’s Wall Here we see Baelsar’s Wall. A wall built under the late conqueror Gaius van Baelsar dividing Eorzea and Ala Mhigo. The wall was built to keep primals (summons) out of Ala Mhigo and other Garlean territories. Eorzea has primals because aether cyrstals are more prominent, and for four years we’ve been fighting them to save Eorzea. Now, we head to the east to liberate Ala Mhigo and Doma.  S...

The Calming, out of this World Experience from Tetris Effect is a Great Change of Pace and Emotion from Other Tetris games

Ahh, Tetris. A game that your parents and almost every other parent knows. The longevity of it has made it evolve over its existents with the “hold” mechanic – which I’ve grown up with -- and doubling down on the competitive nature of Tetris with Tetris Battle, Tetris DS, Puyo Puyo Tetris, and more. Growing up I was terrible at Tetris – making lines with falling blocks was simple enough, but I didn’t understand how to fix my mistakes. There are many insane Tetris players that I can’t even think about competing with. The stress of trying to keep the best layout of blocks while trying to keep up with my opponent is too intense for my taste. However, Tetris Effect is the total opposite of all those competitive Tetris incarnations. The way Enhanced Games and Mizuguchi plays with music and players emotions to then incorporate it into a puzzle game or even something like Rez: Infinite can give old concepts like Tetris a new breath life. Everything in Tetris Effect is amplified by x...
