Fire Emblem Doesn't Only Get New Name

Localization tweaks are fascinating. Take Wii title Fire Emblem: Goddess of Dawn, which was released in Japan this past February. When it gets a North American release this November, the game will be retitled Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. No surprises there! Nintendo had previously announced that it was not going to use Goddess of Dawn in the title, begging the question why?

Smash Bros. Brawl - Fire Emblem Represent!

Look. Fire Emblem isn't going to sell Wiis to housewives, girlfriends and granddads. We all know it's going to sell to Fire Emblem fans and only to Fire Emblem fans. That's why no Wiimote waving gimmickry is required to control it and how Nintendo will get away with letting players control the turn-based strategy RPG however they damn well please. More »
