I’m happy we get a switch release of Fire Emblem (7) on Nintendo switch online. It was my first Fire Emblem i have every played and not sure, maybe the game i played the most (or it is sacred stones). I just took this game out of the gaming section in my video games store, a completly random pic, just thought it looks good. At home i couldn’t stop playing it. I have a lot nostalgia for this game and i wasn’t aware at that point that is was the first Fire Emblem outside of japan. So how did you get into the series and which was your first game?
My first Fire Emblem game was Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn. I was in my early teens and my family had dropped by Kmart on our way back from visiting my grandmother on my father’s side. My dad told me to pick a game and the cover art just stood out to me. I had no idea what kind of game it was, but I like medieval-esque fantasy, so I gave it a shot.
I didn’t open it until a buddy of mine stayed over and we almost exclusively played it from then on, taking turns each level or game over just seeing how far we could get. It took us months to get to the end, and then we’d play through it again.
From then on I was hooked on the series.
